On Thursday, Obama said…“We are going to solve those problems. We are going to get this right, and the Affordable Care Act is going to work.”
He’s lying…Bald-faced, with purpose and malice of forethought…Obama is LYING…AGAIN!!!
Obamacare is precisely the unmitigated disaster Conservatives have always claimed it to be.
There is no getting around that fact and it matters not the spin put on this economic and personal disaster befalling our nation and the people by liberals and socialists now DESPERATE to maintain their seats in congress.
There are inescapable facts from which they cannot hide.
From the very start…
ONLY Democrats voted FOR Obamacare.
Not ONE SINGLE, SOLITARY Republican voted to pass the bill that nobody was allowed to read.
Not one.
Obama had to BRIBE members of congress from his own party just to get it passed.
The litany of lies emanating from Obama and the Democrats in congress is far too long to reprint again and by now, we all know what they are so, I will spare you the list.
Here is another inescapable fact…
At each and every step along the path to destruction…ONLY the Republicans…The Conservatives and the Tea Party tried to stop this disaster from becoming the reality it is today.
More than 40 times, the REPUBLICANS tried to defund or repeal this disaster and at every step along the way…the DEMOCRATS blocked each and every move INCLUDING the REPUBLICAN resolution that would have SEEN TO IT that ANY AMERICAN WISHING TO KEEP THE EXISTING PLAN AND DOCTORS THEY HAD COULD KEEP THEM.
Now…Obama has attempted to institute a purely political “fix” to the 3 years worth of lying regarding people being allowed to keep their existing plans and the doctors they liked but…Both sadly AND predictably…
Obama has LIED again.
Obama hasn’t the authority to make such another soon to be broken promise and, in what may well be THE most stunning part of this latest in a long, LONG parade of lies…
Obama never sought the council of insurance companies before he stood at the podium on Thursday and told people that they could, if they chose to do so, re-enroll in their old insurance plans.
HE NEVER BOTHERED TO ASK THE EXECUTIVES OF THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY IF IT WAS EVEN POSSIBLE.
Another inescapable fact…
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
More than 5 MILLION Americans have had their private insurance policies CANCELLED by their carriers BECAUSE of OBAMACARE and for them…There is NO going back to what THEY liked before.
Those plans are gone.
GONE BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE and Obama is now trying, in absolute desperation, to pin what HE envisioned and ONLY DEMOCRATS voted for on the Insurance industry.
The Obama dictatorial “fix” would only “fix” things for 1 year and then, the rest of Americans on private policies would be dumped right along with all those who will be losing their employer provided coverage.
But let’s look at this in the most positive way possible and suppose, just for a moment, that the “fix” would actually be possible.
What would happen?
Some Americans would stick with what they have.
Others would opt for Obamacare.
The vast majority will enroll in the new expanded Medicaid.
And the ramifications?
Expanded Medicaid is 100% at taxpayer expense and that’s not good as it will require more and more tax hikes to cover the costs or, more and more raising of the debt ceiling to BORROW that money to keep Medicaid viable.
But what about the insurance?
Insurance companies arrive at premium rates based on projections of who will be buying certain policies. Age, geographic location, employment status, health concerns and more goes into those projections and those projections have already been tossed out the window because of Obamacare.
That said…even if the insurance companies could come up with new projections on the spur of the moment, there would be far LESS people buying the policies which means…Private insurance premiums would be GREATLY HIGHER than they were 1 month ago.
Result…People buying revived private insurance under the Obama “fix” would see their rates going through the roof.
Those opting for Obamacare would face the exact same situation. Not nearly as many people projected to buy Obamacare would mean that not one single Obamacare premium as advertised currently on the broken Obamacare website would be valid.
Result…Nobody would know what Obamacare was going to cost them and when it DID get sorted out…THEIR premiums would be a great deal higher than those shown on the Obamacare website TODAY.
None of this takes into account the inescapable fact that insurance carriers would have to get permission for individual state’s Boards of Insurance to even ATTEMPT such a maneuver and, several carriers have already pulled OUT of certain states which means, those who LIKED them are you-know-what out of luck.
So…Obama’s “fix” fixes NOTHING and he knows it. It’s just a pants wetting desperate attempt to foll the low information liberal voters into voting for liberals again in 2014.
What of the Upton bill, passed yesterday in the house or the Landreiu bill or any of the OTHER propositions to “fix” this disaster?
BREAKING NEWS…NONE OF THEM…NOT ONE…IS GOING TO FIX A DAMN THING!!!
They are all nothing but political pandering Hail Mary shots off the cliff.
Republicans are desperate to be able to say THEY did SOMETHING to ease the devastation while liberals are desperate to avoid a 2014 shellacking and either way…they’re all about politics.
Liberals in congress have expended ALL their political capital by pushing this disaster and the American people off the cliff of socialism with a failed ideology and they, from Obama to every single liberal/socialist member of the house and senate, are guilty of defrauding the nation in such a manner as to make Bernie Madoff look like a rank amature.
They need to sit down and shut the hell up.
PERIOD.
The ONLY way to FIX this disaster is to KILL and REPEAL OBAMACARE 100% and without hesitation.
So…What of the 5 plus million who have already had their policies cancelled?
Where do we go from there?
Can we save the economy, clean up the mess, build confidence in the job market and make healthcare affordable?
I mean…ACTUALLY affordable???
Tomorrow, in The National Patriot’s Weekend Edition…I’ll tell you exactly how it can and should be done.
Don’t miss it!!!

One of the things that is so sad and wrong about this is the 5 million or so who now have already had their policies cancelled… many will of course need medical care and if its an emergency will receive it at the Hospital’s ER.. They are going to be stuck with medical bills that will break them, or the will put them in debt for years, if they don’t file for bankruptcy first… Any way its looked at, someone is going to lose big time..
Again, another excellent article here Mr. Andresen..
