Dear Liberals Shocked by the Reality of Obamacare,
So…
You voted for Obama in 2008 and, again in 2012.
You have received a cancellation letter from your insurance company even though you liked your insurance and liked your doctor.
You’ve been to the Obamacare website.
It took you more than a month to get on the thing and now you’ve seen the cost of your new insurance.
You’re shocked.
Your premiums AND your deductible have BOTH gone WAY up.
Your new plan covers you for things you will never need but DOESN’T provide the same level of coverage for what you DO need and certainly not the sort of coverage you USED to have.
You can’t afford it.
You make too much for a taxpayer funded entitlement to lower the cost.
You’re screwed.
What do you do?
What DO YOU DO???
You go to the government and demand answers. You go to the government and demand to know how this could happen.
And what is the government’s official response?
They tell you that what you had before wasn’t good enough.
They tell you that YOU didn’t know what YOU were doing when YOU purchased your old insurance policy.
They tell you that the NEW insurance, chosen FOR you by the GOVERNMENT is BETTER for you.
They tell you that you WILL learn to love it.
None of that affects the FACT that YOU can’t AFFORD the new AFFORDABLE government mandated insurance but…
Then the government tells you that what THEY told YOU about KEEPING what you liked meant that you C
OULD but, ONLY if the GOVERNMENT liked it. What YOU liked simply didn’t matter.
And what of the website? Wasn’t it supposed to be as easy as buying a TV from Amazon? Wasn’t the website supposed to be THE place to go…To shop for plans and prices?
What happened?
The government tells you THEY didn’t know it wouldn’t work. That THEY were caught just as off-guard as YOU were.
Then…YOU discover that THEY knew about the website problems ALL ALONG.
Now…You find out that those hired BY the government to HELP you buy your healthcare insurance…The people TO whom YOU must give YOUR private information INCLUDING your BANKING information could be…CONVICTED FELONS and…That the website has ALREADY caused…IDENTITY THEFT.
Obamacare NAVIGATORS…Being paid with TAXPAYER MONEY…Instructing those wanting to enroll in Obamacare in how to CHEAT…How to DEFRAUD the Taxpayers and how to LIE to receive MORE taxpayer funded subsidies???
And YOU ask the GOVERNMENT…HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN???
THEY TOLD YOU IT WOULD BE SAFE…THAT YOUR INFORMATION WOULD BE SECURE AND THEN, YOU DISCOVER THAT THEY, THE GOVERNMENT, WEREN’T BACKGROUND CHECKING THOSE THEY HIRED TO HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION?????
You want to know WHO is responsible.
YOU ask the GOVERNMENT who is responsible.
And what do they tell you?
The Secretary of Health and Human Services under whom this ALL falls…She’s not responsible.
Those hired by the government to BUILD the website who have just been FIRED by Canada for building THEIR malfunctioning healthcare insurance website…They’re not responsible.
The individual contractors hired to build individual parts of the website…THEY’RE not responsible.
The man in the oval office…The man whose name is attached to the whole thing…Is HE responsible?
Well…IS he???
Here’s how HE answers YOUR concerns:
“Given that I’ve been burned alread
y with a website–well, more importantly, the American people have been burned by–a website that has been dysfunctional, what we’ve also been doing is creating a whole other set of tracks.”
GIVEN THE FACT THAT…HE’S…BEEN BURNED???
HE doesn’t even have to LIVE with Obamacare.
HE is EXEMPT from Obamacare.
HE…HE GOT BURNED!!!
He told YOU that YOU could KEEP your existing healthcare plan.
HE told YOU that YOU could KEEP your doctor.
YOU’RE THE ONE STANDING ON A MOUNTAIN OF HIGH EXPLOSIVES AND HE…HE GOT BURNED?????
Well…You want to know what’s going to be DONE about it because…YOU’RE MAD and what does the man whose name adorns this mess tell you?
“Nobody’s madder than me about the website not working as well as it should which means it’s going to get fixed.”
First of all…
Fixing the website doesn’t FIX the fact that YOU can’t AFFORD the AFFORDABLE government mandated insurance premiums.
It doesn’t FIX the fact that YOU can’t AFFORD the new GOVERNMENT approved DEDUCTIBLES.
FIXING the WEBSITE doesn’t FIX the problem of possible IDENTITY THEFT due to the FACT that some of those people HIRED…BY THE GOVERNMENT…To assist you COULD WELL BE FELONS!!!
It doesn’t FIX the FACT that more than 1200 of OBAMA’S political “friends” DON’T have to deal with Obamacare and YOU do.
Fixing the WEBSITE doesn’t FIX the FACT or the possibility OF your EMPLOYER cutting YOU to a PART-TIME position.
It doesn’t FIX ANYTHING if you have already been LAYED OFF by your employer BECAUSE of Obamacare.
And FIXING the WEBSITE most certainly DOES NOT FIX the FACT that the insurance carrier YOU chose…That YOU liked and that YOU wanted to KEEP has already sent YOU a CANCELLATION letter BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE!!!!!
I know what you’re thinking.
Wouldn’t it have been helpful had OBAMACARE come with a SIDE EFFECTS WARNING like Celebrex?
Well…
It did.
Remember…Not one single Republican voted FOR Obamacare.
That was a warning.
The balance of power in the house shifted BECAUSE of Obamacare.
That was a warning.
In the senate, back in September of 2010, Republicans introduced a resolution to BLOCK the “GRANDFA
THER CLAUSE” of OBAMACARE…The very clause that contained the regulations that caused your existing insurance carriers to send you that CANCELLATION letter only to be called RADICALS…RACISTS…and worse before the DEMOCRATS in the senate KILLED that resolution.
THAT was a warning.
More than 40 times…Conservatives in the house voted to REPEAL Obamacare only to have their actions blocked and killed in the senate by DEMOCRATS.
More than 40 warnings right there.
DEMOCRAT Senator Max Bacaus…a KEY ARCHITECT of OBAMACARE said…“I just see a huge train wreck coming down.”
That…That was a warning.
Sarah Palin…Rush Limbaugh…Michele Bachmann…Glenn Beck…Sean Hannity…Rand Paul…Kelly Ayotte…Allen West and so many more…They ALL warned you but…YOU said THEY were all…BAT CRAP CRAZY.
Chances are…The very doctor YOU liked and WANTED to KEEP warned you as well.
Every warning…EVERY warning…Met with derision, ridicule, vile name calling, dismissiveness and ultimately…Ignored.
YOU thought YOU put an END to all that Conservative, Tea Party fear mongering.
Didn’t you?
And then, in the 11th hour, for 21 ½ hours…TED CRUZ WARNED YOU but…
Bureaucrats making your healthcare decisions instead of your doctors…The IRS thugs enforcing Obamacare…Your private information in the hands of FELONS…Government agencies making “HOME VISITATIONS” to assess your fitness to raise your own children…Skyrocketing premiums…Unaffordable deductibles…Up to 129 MILLION cancelled from their existing insurance policies…21 new taxes, so far…Young people, required to offset the cost of older people, NOT enrolling…OLDER people enrolling in expanded MEDICADE at TAXPAYER expense at a rate of 9-1 over young people…A website that doesn’t work…The true cost of your new Obamacare insurance HIDDEN from you…Democrats BRIBED to pass it…NOBODY allowed to READ it before it was passed…You CAN’T keep your existing plan…You CAN’T keep your existing doctor…
Here’s another warning for you…
At the current rate of Obamacare enrollment…40,000 in the first month…It’s going to cost an added 1.2 TRILLION dollars to run Obamacare over the next 5 years and THAT doesn’t include the cost of ILLEGAL ALIENS signing up for either Obamacare OR Medicaid.
Now where do you suppose THAT money will be found?
More tax hikes.
More BORROWED money ADDING to the national debt.
HIGHER Obamacare premiums and HIGHER deductibles than those you can’t afford now.
YOU weren’t supposed to get screwed by Obamacare. YOU weren’t supposed to be bamboozled. YOU weren’t supposed to lose YOUR insurance.
The TEA PARTY wasn’t supposed to be RIGHT about Obamacare.
Sucks…Doesn’t it? The cancellation letter…The skyrocketing Obamacare rates and the lower degree of coverage…NOT being able to keep your existing policies or your doctors?
Socialism is an across the board destroyer of liberty.
It’s a shocking wake up call but…Hey…YOU voted for Obama in 2008 and AGAIN…In 2012…Didn’t you…?
Excellent article. The only problem is that these people always have an excuse. “The Republicans sabotaged it.”
Disgusting.
Yeah, it would be nice to keep doctors we love. Except a lot of them saw that the bridge was out, and jumped off the train. They quit doctoring. Fix THAT one.
Deductibles are actually an ADDED cost to any insurance policy.
You don’t HAVE any “insurance” untill after the deductible is met.
You have to spend the money for the premium, then you have to spend the all money for the entire deductible, only then does the insurance actually kick in and pay for ANYTHING!
Besides that, health insurance pays ONLY for “Reasonable and customary” doctor and hospital charges, you must pay for the rest!
Doctors and hospitals can and will charge you very Un-reasonable and Un-customary charges!
Then things like that $20 box of crappy “Kleenex” they place in your room, also YOU have to pay for ….it’s NOT covered!
Excellent! Pretty much sums it up. Also, obamacare is just one part of the liberal’s plan to totally destroy this country.
Craig,
This is one of the best posts I have seen about Obamacare. You outdid yourself on this one. Thank you very much, I will send this out to over 50,000 people who need to read it!!! Robert Linderman a.k.a. Robert Liberty
B….b…but all that money is money well spent! It’s a good idea to spread the wealth. It is helping those that didn’t have insurance to now have insurance. Everyone should be compelled to help needy.
(being extremely facetious, BTW)
Great letter, Craig!
Shared this everywhere.
