Former Veep Joe Biden made another campaign stop in Iowa and took questions from the audience. A young flannel-dressed man stood up and asked Biden about Obamacare, his administration’s signature health care law.
The young presumably Iowan, possibly an operative for another campaign, read from a card to tell the former veep what happened to his father.
“During the run-up to the passage of Obamacare, President Obama promised my father that if he liked his plan he could keep his plan, and that his insurance would be cheaper. After passage, his plan was no longer allowed and his insurance cost double. Since you supported the plan, were you lying to my dad? Or did you not understand the bill you supported?”
That's quite a slider to throw at slow Joe. Is the former veep ready for it?
Let’s find out.
Biden replies: “There’s two ways people know when something is important. One, when it’s so clear when it’s passed, that everybody understands it.”
Obamacare was 2300 pages of legalese when it passed. It has since swelled to more than 20,000 regulations.
Biden continues: “No one did understand Obamacare. Including the way it was rolled out, and the gentleman’s right, it said you could keep your doctor if you wanted to, but you couldn’t keep your doctor if you wanted to necessarily. He’s dead right about that.”
According to Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was more right than she let on all those years ago when she said the Democrats would have to pass Obamacare before the nation could find out what’s in it.
That’s called a pig in a poke, a deal you should never take because you don’t know the whole picture. It’s also not how legislation is supposed to work in a representative republic.

A millenial would probably gladly accept a lobotomy if you told them it was free.
The big lesson to learn from all the nonsense about healthcare , and all the politicians talking about healthcare add nausea !
is you need to take care of your own health and not rely it all on doctors at all!
You shouldn’t need a “navigator” to get health insurance. This isn’t the 15th century and I’m not trying to find a new route to the East Indies.
“There’s two ways people know when something is important. One, when it’s so clear when it’s passed, that everybody understands it... No one did understand Obamacare. Including the way it was rolled out, and the gentleman’s right, it said you could keep your doctor if you wanted to, but you couldn’t keep your doctor if you wanted to necessarily. He’s dead right about that.”
Now, THAT'S the kind of open honesty America can really use right now, on the unemployment line. Voting for Joe of course means he'll have a job, and you won't.
So much for free healthcare. We are in a similar situation. The Dems are lying SOBs.
Isn’t the actual law in its entirety much bigger?

“Why 3000 pages?”
It takes a lot to control people.

Yes. I would love to see laws limited to some (very small) number of pages.
Anything really big is just complex social engineering designed to control people.

I’d like to see every Law state every authorization thereof vs. every clause/Amendment.
Be *REAL* ‘interesting’ to see the mental gymnastics\”logic” to see how the ‘Commerce Clause’ supposedly supersedes EVERY other Amendment possible, considering the Constitution is a ‘most restrictive’ document (IE: bill is moot/null if even one ‘strike’ is countered vs. ‘approved’ if one).
Esp. as they come up against the ‘Contracts Clause’, 5th, 9th/10th, 13th & 14th).

Can’t forget a willing judicial oligarchy to *re-write* the ‘law’ so it passes muster on a TAXING front (forget that they *NEVER* attempt, nor care to try, answering THE Step #1 Q (*every* time):
By what authority\FOR what.
No one understood obamacare? Hell, no one read it.

Wouldn’t work. Pre-requesit for a lobotomy is having a brain. Moronials are deficient
Yesterday I was watching an old Family Feud on the game show channel.
The question was name a job where you will be surrounded by boobs.
I’m proud to report that five of our fellow Americans responded:Congress.
Probably the same sort of twit that expected free rent once Obama was elected.
Pelosi and her Kalifornia Cabal all need jailing. Nothing else will do now.
Yo Joe...where’s Hunter...still opening presents from Santa? After all...yesterday was Ukrainian Christmas.

Nancy??? She was Jihadist of the Year 2019
“she’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you are bleeding” according to her dour spawn and the enmeshed propagandists. See how effortlessly and joyfully they work together.

Will we have to take her head off to find out what’s in it...or does it unscrew?
I took my dog for a walk this am, Joe. He doesn’t sniff as much as you and is a lot smarter...and the females like him.
if the laws lawmakers pass applied to them equally this bullsh*t would slow down tremendously...
He helped destroy millions of jobs and cost people their homes and savings and leaving them with no healthcare at all.
He is proud of this.
