'A public safety disaster': Obamacare could force THOUSANDS of volunteer fire departments to close

The Affordable Care Act forces companies with more than 50 workers to buy them all health insurance or pay hefty fines The IRS says volunteer firefighters are 'employees,' even though the Department of Labor says they're 'volunteers' Out of more than 1 million fire departments in the U.S., 87 per cent are staffed entirely or mostly by life-saving volunteers Members of Congress are weighing in, but the Obama administration hasn't taken any action yet to carve out a fire-fighting exception

One of the reasons there are no legislative “fixes” being sent through Congress at this time, is if the law is opened up now for corrective action, it may very well simply be repealed altogether, or gutted and rewritten to eliminate most if not all the objectionable passages.

And neither Harry Reid nor the Current Occupant now squatting in the Oval Orifice will stand for such “meddling” in what is “settled law”. Nancy Pelosi is, for the moment, a total ineffectual.

The Republicans have their hands tied. So long as The Won remains adamant, nothing will be done to avert the dire consequences that are now spilling out all over the landscape.

This is a bigger legislative nightmare than the enforcement of Prohibition between 1919 and 1933. And it shall result in a bigger percentage of scofflaws than even that travesty of a law.

Does one really think some skinny black guy from Chicago or the democrat party could cause all of this social destruction without help from the NWO pukes? For years and to date the NWO pukes have controlled DC. According to Pastor Lindsey Williams, early in 2014 will be when the NWO takes control of the rest of the US. They’ve been waiting until Jan 1 for the full implementations of the ACA. Pastor Williams says we can expect Martial Law to be declared sometime within the first few months of 2014. Pastor Williams also says he was given this info by a friend who is a NWO insider. For what that’s worth, one has to acknowledge that things currently happening in America are certainly looking like he could be right on the money.

"The administration? Again with the marginalization of the Congress. Sorry, this crap has got to stop! As long as people are willing to allow it to continue, they have NO RIGHT to complain about the outcome.

We get the government we deserve."

Amazing the number of people in this country, including many on this forum, who don't seem to get this concept.
