The GOP NEVER FAILS TO SNACH
DEFEAT from the jaws of VICTORY !
ANYTHING OBAMA SAYS is worthless.
Watch what he does, and not what he says.
The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF wants ~ and is DIRECTING the policies that regulate ALL health care plansin the United States ~
TO FAIL ! NEVER FORGET THAT !
Many of us have said for many years that
Obama is doing this INTENTIONALLY. He using the old Soviet Plan from 1934 or earlier.
Only idiots and the evil voted for Obama, or ANY of the Democrats.
AND NOW, WE CAN ADD
"Establishment Republicans" TO THAT LIST, ALSO!
They've lied to us, constantly, and really are
"Collapsing the System". And now, these "Useful IDIOTS" who voted for them, are buying the lies that "Obamacare was designed to work." ?
It was designed to fail from the start.
THEN ... THEY GO TO THE
"SINGLE-PAYER SYSTEM".
They've been sucking our wallets dry for over four years now on the "Obamacare" LIE.
AND NOW THEY WANT MORE TAXES ?
Our Founding Fathers would have hung them already!
Lets review:
Who was it that cut future funding for Medicare by $575 billion?
...the president and the Democratic Party successfully bamboozle voters... The 2012 election could turn on this falsehood.
The truth is that the Obama health law reduces future funding for Medicare by $575 billion over the next 10 years ...
Mr. Obama and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius frequently make that false claim.
Indeed, even Medicare's mailings to seniors repeat the claim
that reducing spending on Medicare will make it more financially secure for future years.
The fact is that Mr. Obama's law raids Medicare.
"In early 1968 President Lyndon Johnson [DEMOCRAT] made a change in the budget presentation by including Social Security and all other trust funds in a"unified budget." "
Who was it that expanded Medicare and Medicaid to cover many, many more people than it was originally designed to cover?
The History of Medicare
In 1965, the Social Security Act established both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare was a responsibility of the Social Security Administration (SSA), while Federal assistance to the State Medicaid programs was administered by the Social and Rehabilitation Service (SRS). SSA and SRS were agencies in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). In 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration was created under HEW to effectively coordinate Medicare and Medicaid. In 1980 HEW was divided into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The first U.S. President to propose a prepaid health insurance plan was Harry S. Truman [DEMOCRAT]. On November 19, 1945, in a special message to Congress, President Truman outlined a comprehensive, prepaid medical insurance plan for all people through the Social Security system. The plan included doctors and hospitals, and nursing, laboratory, and dental services; it was dubbed "National Health Insurance." Furthermore, medical insurance benefits for needy people were to be financed from Federal revenues.
Over the years, lawmakers narrowed the field of health insurance recipients largely to social security beneficiaries. A national survey found that only 56 percent of those 65 years of age or older had health insurance. President John F. Kennedy [DEMOCRAT] pressed legislators for health insurance for the aged. However, it wasn't until 1965 that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed H.R. 6675 (The Social Security Act of 1965; PL 89-97) to provide health insurance for the elderly and the poor.
On July 30, 1965, President Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Bill (Title XVIII and Title XIX of the Social Security Act) in Independence, Missouri in the presence of former President Truman, who received the first Medicare card at the ceremony; Lady Bird Johnson, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, and Mrs. Truman also were present. President Johnson remarked: "We marvel not simply at the passage of this Bill but that it took so many years to pass it."
Medicare extended health coverage to almost all Americans aged 65 or older. About 19 million beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare in the first year of the program. Medicaid provided access to health care services for certain low-income persons and expanded the existing Federal-State welfare structure that assisted the poor.
The 1972 Social Security Amendments expanded Medicare to provide coverage to two additional high risk groups disabled persons receiving cash benefits for 24 months under the social security program and persons suffering from end-stage renal disease.
...(continued at link)
So Democrats,
Sen Mark Kirk's
statement Thursday, Dec 1, 2011 ...
"There are 55 million Social Security beneficiaries that will see little or no extra cash from this 2012 tax holiday;
instead, the dedicated payroll contributions meant to pay for future benefits are being diverted from the Trust Fund
and replaced with Treasury debt that does not even have a AAA credit rating.
Social Security was designed to be independent and free from the danger of Congressional manipulation,
and maintaining the firewall between the Social Security Trust Fund and general government funding is the best way to maintain the solvency of this important program.
Neither bill protects the Social Security Trust Fund
so I voted no. "
It's not our fault that
DEMOCRATS raided the Social Security Trust Fund. Let's remember ...
Not ALL are to blame for the empty lock box.
It's the Democrats Communists.
Let's take a deeper look.
Okay, then the DEMOCRATS need to shut up!!!

The EXEMPT GOP proves again why they should NEVER be trust
except, of course, to give the impostor (and themselves)
more power.
The GOP swore for votes they would eliminate ObamaCARE,
but it is RomneyCARE and they, their families, and their
staff, are EXEMPT.

This is the way its really going to go down:
Obama will say, “no deal”. Give me everything I want. You get nothing in return.
The republican senators will then lay down and play dead.
End of discussion.

Ok, when Obama vetoes (or threatens to veto) Johnson’s bill unless it is a “clean” bill, what is the GOP going to do?
Anybody care to guess?
Fold, and then send Obama what he wants.
It is high time to send the GOPe a message, and I believe the only message they will understand is the undiluted political massacre of their precious GOPe incumbents. I am probably leaving off a few names, but Johnson, Kirk, Portman, McCain, and Ayotte all need to be defeated in 2016. And I don’t care if they lose to the Democrats in the General.
It is far better to have Democrats in office than these turncoats. At least with Democrats, we (and the public) know where they stand.

I think that if the GOPe actually gets the individual and employer mandates eliminated, Obamacare will fail on its own...problem solved.
Tort reform and buying insurance across state lines would be icing on the cake.

I don’t know, but I would venture to guess a majority of the 7.5 million people getting subsidies are not Republican voters anyway, so why fix it?
To: GIdget2004
Preparing for a Supreme Court decision that could strike down Obamacares subsidies for nearly 7.5 million people this summer, Senate Republicans are coalescing around a plan to resurrect them at a steep price for the White House. Poltroons, one and all.

a bill written by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) that would restore the subsidies for current Obamacare enrollees through September 2017. But the administration would have to pay a heavy price the bill would also repeal Obamacares individual and employer mandates and insurance coverage requirements.On face value this seems like a reasonable compromise...
It does two things, takes away the liberals talking points that republicans don't care about poor people, they get to keep their subsidies, for now and gets past Obama demagoguing them ...
Two: getting rid of the employers mandates and insurance coverage requirements will drop rates and be more market driven than policy driven...
...and employers now will not have the employer mandate hanging over their heads and would open up more full time jobs and wages
Third point...having democrat oppose it would be great campaign talking points...to use against them...

But the administration would have to pay a heavy price the bill would also repeal Obamacares individual and employer mandates and insurance coverage requirements....hmmm.....a small carrot traded for a very very big stick?
Someone give me the argument for this...
I understand letting it crumble is good.
But, I also understand that getting rid of individual and employer mandates would ALSO let it crumble.....
At least I find this interesting.
To: GIdget2004
“the bill would also repeal Obamacares individual and employer mandates and insurance coverage requirements”
the very causes of the high taxpayer costs for many of the subsidies
minus the mandates, many plans would be offered that would not require the subsidies and would require lower subsidies for people at or below medicaid income levels

Stupid RINOs. The only way Obamacare might pay for itself, or at least try to, is to force healthy people to pay for insurance.
This ‘fix’ will just cost the taxpayers more- it will keep up the freebies so where would the money come from?

IF one is smart (that’s IF) then one does not ever, and I mean ever negotiate with a Democrat much less plural Democrats. This plan should be trashed, and replaced with complete reversal of the ACA to no Federal involvement in the business of our business.
Get the Fed in charge solely of it’s constitutionally assigned duties. The Founder’s knew what they were doing.
