Obamacare.
If not gutted and allowed to die off, that monster will be one of the
single largest contributors to the final death of the economy already
on life support.
Comrade
Nancy Pelosi's famous let's get it passed and then everyone will find
out what's in the bill is spewing anger across the country. Americans
are now experiencing sticker shock! They didn't read the bill signed
by an impostor president into "law" and now, oh how it hurts:
Democrat
Voters Confused: "I
Didn't Realize I Would Be The One Who Was Going to Pay For It Personally"
"Cindy
Vinson and Tom Waschura are big believers in the Affordable Care Act.
They vote independent and are proud to say they helped elect and re-elect
President Barack Obama. Yet, like many other Bay Area residents who
pay for their own medical insurance, they were floored last week when
they opened their bills: Their policies were being replaced with pricier
plans that conform to all the requirements of the new health care law.
Vinson, of San Jose, will pay $1,800 more a year for an individual policy,
while Waschura, of Portola Valley, will cough up almost $10,000 more
for insurance for his family of four.
“I
was laughing at Boehner — until the mail came today,” Waschura
said, referring to House Speaker John Boehner, who is leading the Republican
charge to defund Obamacare. “I really don't like the Republican
tactics, but at least now I can understand why they are so pissed about
this. When you take $10,000 out of my family's pocket each year, that's
otherwise disposable income or retirement savings that will not be going
into our local economy.” Both Vinson and Waschura have adjusted
gross incomes greater than four times the federal poverty level —
the cutoff for a tax credit. And while both said they anticipated their
rates would go up, they didn't realize they would rise so much. “Of
course, I want people to have health care,” Vinson said. “I
just didn't realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally.
"Prior
the passage of Obamacare Congressional switchboards lit up with 99 out
of 100 Americans urging their representatives to throw the legislation
out. They didn't listen. They passed the bill without even reading it.
In fact, they didn't even make it public until a few hours before the
vote and by then it was too late."
Really?
You didn't have a clue about who would pay for 20 million or so uninsured
people? We're all going to be raped in more taxes under Marxist Barry
Soetoro aka Obama's grand communist scheme of "equality" and
wealth redistribution. Obamacare is loaded with subsidies in the billions
that will be paid for by you, me, our children and grand children. Obamacare
is the 4th and by far the biggest Ponzi scheme shoved down our throat
by corrupt congresses. Just add 17 million illegal aliens if any form
of amnesty goes through and costs will go to the moon and back.
As
I write this, Social security, Medicare and "free" prescription
pills are running debt of $125.9 TRILLION dollars. The debt burden to
every taxpayer in this country: $1.1 MILLION and counting.
That will be chump change if Obamacare isn't defeated and it can be
because the U.S. Supreme Court and lower courts have already ruled on
the side of employers and doctors. You
can read about those cases here.
Over
the past few months, anti-Constitution Republicans
(Reps. Eric Cantor, Daryl Issa, Steve Scalise, Paul Ryan and Phil Roe
to name but a few) have been touting their replacement for the unconstitutional
Obamacare. More rape:
The
GOP's NEW plan to repeal, replace Obamacare (Sept. 18, 2013)
"In
an effort to contend with one of the more popular aspects of Obamacare,
the Republican bill — which was drafted by a committee subgroup
headed by Rep. Phil Roe, a doctor — would also create a 10 year,
$25 billion fund to lower costs for Americans afflicted with pre-existing
conditions such as cancer."
Where
will that $25 BILLION dollar fund come from?
YOUR wallet. Think that number won't triple or quadruple? Cancer
"treatment" is astronomical. That $25 billion will run dry, the
people who have bought into socialism will demand more, more!
Then the poltroons in the Outlaw Congress will pass another bill
to steal more from you and me while the paper tiger is chasing
them.
The
bandits in the Outlaw Congress have ZERO constitutional authority
to steal from you to give to someone else for their medical treatment.
Cancer is nothing more than a multi-billion dollar a year industry.
States Attorney Generals and gangsters in the FDA continue to
persecute and destroy doctors who CURE patients with many types
of cancer. There's no money in the cure, only the treatment. For
decades, the Federal Death Administration (FDA) continues to approve
dangerous drugs that cause cancer:
How
many more will die before FDA ghouls are held accountable?
"How
about the widely popular, HRT (hormone replacement therapy) drug,
Prempro, found in the government's own study to increase
a healthy woman's risk of breast cancer by 24%, stroke by 41%
and heart attack by 29%? April 24, 2007. 70 women 'die each year
from cancer after taking HRT. "But the UK-sponsored Million Women
Study now suggests HRT resulted in 1,300 extra cases of ovarian
cancer between 1991 and 2005. Of these women, 1,000 died of the
disease."
"2008:
Wyeth, Pfizer ordered to pay $27 million in punitive damages.
"A Little Rock, Ark., federal jury found Wyeth Pharmaceuticals
and Upjohn (a Pfizer unit) liable for $27 million in punitive
damages to Donna Scroggin, who sued the drug manufacturers in
2004 after developing breast cancer after taking hormone replacement
therapy. The award includes $19.3 million from Wyeth and $7.7
from Upjohn.
"Wyeth
manufactures Premarin, an estrogen replacement, and Prempro, which
is a combination of estrogen and progestin. These, along with
Upjohn's Provera, which contains progestin, are commonly prescribed
to treat the unpleasant effects of menopause....About 25 million
American women use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to ease the
discomfort of menopause. There are about 5,300 similar cases pending
across the country for Premarin and Prempro." And people wonder
why breast and cervical cancer has struck so many women? I've
never taken an HRT and never will. Vulnerable women in their "older"
years used as guinea pigs for profit.
How
about the tragedy of the HPV vaccine pushed on young girls and
women across this country? Too many now plagued with permanent,
massive health problems; too many who have died. Manufacturers,
Merck and GlaxoSmithKline (Cervarix), have hauled in billions
while state legislatures look the other way or force via legislation
that dangerous cocktail on teens and young women. Those
pharma houses have used young girls and women in this country
as guinea pigs.
Americans
must start fighting back against the cancer money grubbers. It
breaks my heart that so many Americans are dying horrible deaths
from cancer when those who have done the research are curing their
cancer, stunning their oncologist. Three books I can't recommend
highly enough: Cancer
- Step Outside The Box by Ty Bollinger and World
Without Cancer by G. Edward Griffin and Murder by Injection:
The Story of the Medical Conspiracy Against America by Eustace
Mullins (deceased); book
is free on line here.
Lower
courts and the U.S. Supreme Court have already declared the two
key parts of Obama as unconstitutional, yet "conservative" Republicans
want to replace one nightmare with another while they ignore their
oath of office and the U.S. Constitution.
If
you're going to solve a problem, you have to go back to when and
how it started. Congress destroyed the finest health care delivery
system in the world with HMO act:
The
HMO Act Turns 30 - few are expected to celebrate (signed into
law by Tricky Dicky Nixon)
"Congress
turned the entire American health care system on its head hoping
the HMO could solve the budget problems they created with Medicare.
It didn't work, but patients everywhere have suffered as a result,"
says Twila Brase, president of the Citizens' Council on Health
Care (CCHC)."
First,
the incompetent poltroons in Congress meddle where they have no
authority creating a mess and now 30 years later, the "solution"
from both parties is yet another unconstitutional mess. Billions
spent while constitutional solutions are ignored. Health care
is not a constitutional or human "right". Health care was affordable
UNTIL the HMO Act began the destruction of affordable health care
costs. The constant meddling by politicians in the Outlaw Congress
has brought us to this gigantic mess called Obamacare.
Why
is health care so expensive? Many reasons. The American people
continued to reelect the same incumbents who made the mess to
begin with. They continue to reelect the same incumbents who are
now proposing more unconstitutional "solutions". Congress has
never had the authority to bury doctors and health care providers
with absurd, endless regulations that only keeps some "non-essential"
federal employee on the payroll. The result is higher costs to
the patient because doctors and health care providers have to
hire staff to keep up with all the filing requirements.
The
health care system in this country is over loaded with Americans
who have many health problems as a result of their
bad choices. Americans who like being fat, obese and plagued with
medical problems like diabetes. They must like being fat or obese
because they're doing nothing to lose the pounds. Losing weight
is one of the hardest things in the world to do, but one can do
it. The Internet is full of natural eating and nutrition web sites,
it just takes time to do the research and will power to turn your
life around. The key of course is to keep your weight at a healthy
level and don't allow yourself to gain more than 10 pounds. Watch
the scale and then scale back on goodies like pizza and pasta.
Processed foods aren't real food and neither are "fast foods".
When
I travel, I do not eat any junk "food"; I always stop to get fresh
cooked food. At every restaurant I stop at most of the patrons
are fat. They're eating pancakes covered in sugary concoctions
at lunchtime. They're stuffing their face with high carb meals
and more food in one sitting than I eat all day while their bellies
hang over belts. While up in Denver recently, a couple at the
restaurant where I ate shocked me. Both husband and wife must
have weighed in at 350 pounds or higher. His stomach sat between
his open legs. If the chair wasn't propping it up, the blubber
would have just hung there. The wife looked like Jabba the Hut's
sister. Their plates were piled with food; not a piece of bread
in the basket remained. Both looked pasty; they just sat and ate
and ate and ate. I wondered how they fit in the same bed.
The
other day at the grocery store the woman in front of me was at
least 80 pounds overweight. Her belly was rolling blubber; she
wasn't wearing a bra to contain her mammoth breasts, so watching
her unload her cart was rather nauseating. Her shopping cart was
full of processed "food", chips, frozen pizzas and no vegetables.
She might as well take her family to the nearest dumpster for
dinner.
When
all the medical problems start from being fat or obese, up go
health care costs per patient to treat conditions brought on by
carrying around double digit pounds of blubber -- especially in
the stomach area. Aren't they ashamed or embarrassed? I guess
not. America is known throughout the world as a fat country. It
doesn't have to be that way. We can all help by doing our best
to get and stay healthy.
The
High Price of America's Gluttony (2003)
Sloth,
Gluttony And The Coming Medical Financial Tsunami (2007)
I
also highly recommend Code Blue: Health Care In Crisis by Edward
R. Annis, M.D., past president of the AMA. That outstanding book
published in 1993, clearly and succinctly lays out the extreme
danger of socialized medicine and real solutions:
"On
managed competition/care, the author observes, "Government cannot
preserve high quality health care, prompt service, and freedom
of choice without allowing health care providers the freedom to
meet demand; Government cannot reduce the regulatory burden...government
cannot apply price controls without creating shortages and rationing
care...." Dr. Annis points out, "Finagle all they will, bureaucrats
and entrepreneurs will never overcome the problem of excessive
costs without correcting the basic flaw: the system of third-party
payers, whether government or corporate."
"Dr.
Annis' leadership of the AMA in the early 1960s, with his championing
of the principles of individual rights and free markets, is in
sharp contrast to the philosophy of the current AMA leadership,
who refuse to confront the current administration but instead
seem satisfied to ask for 'a seat at the table.' "- Jerome C.
Arnett, Jr., M.D., Journal of the American Medical Association."
EVERY
member of the Outlaw Congress and state legislatures should read
Dr. Annis' book. It's
'cheap' on Amazon, but pricesless in content.
We
will see more of this: Obamacare
effect? (Yes) companies exit Nebraska's health insurance market
"Seven
of the nine companies have notified the state of their plans to
leave since August. Most of them have a minor piece of the major
medical market in Nebraska, and likely don't think it's worth
it to make the changes necessary to comply with the federal health
care law. Aetna, American Family Mutual Insurance, Humana, Independence
American Insurance Company, Reserve National Insurance Company,
Standard Security Life Insurance Company of New York, Companion
Life Insurance and United Security Life and Health Insurance have
all informed the state insurance department of their intent to
stop selling health insurance to individuals - and in some cases
- groups."
I
also urge you to read two very important articles:
We
Need Free Market Healthcare - Not Obamacare
No
Third Party Payments
There
are other factors, but the biggest is labor. Payroll. Withholding
taxes to prop up the Ponzi schemes.We're talking payroll not just
for hospital staff or your personal physician, we're also talking
the employees of a company that makes Band Aids, supplies sheets,
manufacturers all types of equipment one sees in a doctor's office
right down to tongue depressors.
It
doesn't matter if you're a nurse making $100 bux an hour, as long
as the value of the dollar continues to decrease, the purchasing
power goes down. Unless and until Americans study and learn the
problem with fiat currency and the unconstitutional "Federal"
Reserve, they will simply continue demanding more and more in
wages. Sort of like trying to climb a sand dune. If you haven't
read Congressman
McFadden's famous speech in 1934 on the "Federal" Reserve,
do take the time. Heck, just book mark this column so you can
go back and read as time permits....but time is running out.
And
of course, a two volume set which should have won a Pulitzer Prize:
Pieces
of Eight by Dr. Edwin Vieira. Difficult to find copies; sellers
want astronomical prices, but there are used copies on rare book
sites. An alternative are these: The
U.S. Monetary System and Descent into Fascism An Interview with
Dr. Edwin Vieira, Return
To Constitutional Money and, Sound
Money Project (video).
There
will always be the poor. County hospitals take care of the indigent
with our county taxes. Medicaid cares for folks who absolutely
have no money to pay for health care. Of course, Medicaid, just
like Medicare is riddled with fraud because there are too many
individuals who have learned how to scam the system. Doctors all
across this country do take care of the poor as well as religious
organizations who run health care facilities.
The
bottom line besides being unconstitutional, Obamacare is a financial
nightmare. Don't let the incompetent Republicans ram another Band
Aid down our throats. Get the U.S. government out of health care
and see how things get turned around for everyone regardless of
political party or any other "identifier". The ones who hate that
idea are the insurance companies who will make out like bandits
under Obamacare.
In
the meantime, there are several court cases making their way through
the courts on Obamacare. I sure wish employers and doctors would
file lawsuits in every state as I outlined in
my column here. We cannot give up and we cannot stop getting
in Boehner's face as well as other anti-Constitution
politicians: Replace Obamacare with nothing. One can only pray
they lose their primaries to constitutional candidates running
on a Republican ticket.
