Team Obama Takes "Affordable" Out of Latest Obamacare Campaign
Town Hall ^ | 12/6/13 | Katie Pavlich

President Obama hit the campaign trail again this week in an effort to reboot support for Obamacare as the failed rollout continues with a broken website and broken promises.

Speaking from the White House Tuesday, Obama declared "Obamacare is working," and that we "aren't going back." But for Obamacare to truly be "working" for the American people as promised when the Affordable Care Act was passed, it must in fact be affordable. We've seen the opposite. Young people will pay double under the ACA, young women will see their health insurance premiums increase on average by 193 percent and five million Americans have lost their coverage only to find plans under Obamacare are more expensive for less care.

As the public relations campaign for a law that is unaffordable rolls on, Byron York has noticed something: the administration is no longer talking about Obamacare in terms of affordability.

One striking thing about the new White House Obamacare promotion campaign is that so far it hasn't had much to say about the central focus of Obamacare, which is helping Americans buy affordable health insurance.

The conservative healthcare plan was to repair or improve the existing plan. The progressive solution was to replace the existing plan with one that was much worse and make certain the public didn’t know that until it was too late.

They should call it AuschwitzCare or DachauCare.

Presided over by Dr. Obamengele.

Without Affordable and Care in the Act it becomes what it was meant to be: "Pay Up and Die Act."

Once Obama extends his presidency beyond 2016, he will move to make the act of not having health care a felony with jail time being required for those not having health insurance.

At which point, I believe there will be a revolution.

On Tuesday, DEC-3-2013, Michael F. Cannon, the libertarian Cato Institute’s director of health policy studies, testified before a congressional hearing committee about the dangers of the president’s failure to adhere to laws.

“There is one last thing to which the people can resort if the government does not respect the restrains that the constitution places on the government,”

“Abraham Lincoln talked about our right to alter our government or our revolutionary right to overthrow it.”

Did the President actually refer to the ACA as Obamacare? I thought I read that the Dems were dropping that name and referring to Obamacare as ACA or the Affordable Care Act.
