Calif. working to put illegals under Obamacare coverage
BizPac Review ^ | June 23, 2013 | by Joe Saunders

As the countdown continues to Obamacare taking full effect in 2014, and while senators wrestle with details of an immigration overhaul that seem to change daily, California officials are having their own meetings.

They’re figuring out how to break the key promise that Obamacare would not be used to pay for the health care of millions of people living in the country illegally.

That’s according to an article in Friday’s New York Times, though it doesn’t quite put it that way.

Making the case for the Times article is Daniel Zingale, a top executive with the California Endowment, a health care foundation the Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto calls a “a tax-free arm of the health-insurance industry.”

“…[W]e’ve seen a total sea change in the way we think about health care for all and immigration,” Zingale says in the article. “I think in the end, it’s inevitable that we’re going to come down on the side of inclusion broadly.”

So there it is.

Go ahead, weigh it down with illegals and break the back of the beast. The burden(s) on the taxpayers are going to become unsustainable and eventually 'someone, somewhere' is going to just say 'no' .... hopefully Congress before there is an actually revolt in the countryside, but I'm not betting on it.

Obamacare is the mplementation of the Cloward-Piven strategy.

There are alternatives to disintegration or revolt.

About 20 years ago, an economist in the family who was looking at our future said, "well, one possibility is that we could follow the Italian Model." What he meant was that there would be overbearing laws and regulations, but that they would be widely avoided and a huge underground economy would spring up. Prosecution for tax or regulatory avoidance would only occur in high-profile cases, and tax avoidance would grow manyfold.

Hopefully, it will happen this way. I think there is already an underground economy ... I know folks operating in it and I’m headed that way myself.

I have very little faith in the intestinal fortitude of the current crop of Republican “leaders” and the supremes to accomplish anything in defense of the Constitution of the United States of America. Roberts has been a real disappointment on ObamaCare (the Obama defense was it’s not a tax and Roberts said it was a tax). Rubio was put up as a leader and he’s a sellout. All these wimpy Republican Senators should be replaced with Tea Party members. McConnell is a Senator of convenience. Boehner rolls over when the press tells him too. Disappointing and maddening.

They ‘should’, but they won’t.
