Continue the Fight on Obamacare.
Do words mean things? Apparently the meaning of bully can still be agreed upon…
Government bureaucrats aren’t good at much, but they are efficient at making words lose their meaning. For example, the affordable part of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, really means forcing healthy millennials to buy insurance they cannot afford. We have also learned that a government shutdown actually means 87 percent of the government remains open, with about 80 percent of all federal employees working while the rest are scheduled to receive back pay from taxpayers.
Further, President Obama – known for world-class linguistic gymnastics – held a press conference this week to announce that he will compromise but not negotiate with congressional Republicans. Even the most astute political observers couldn’t honestly explain what that means.
Which brings us to a Thomas Jefferson’s famous quote, or at least it should be famous and it’s so very timely today…
“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.”
Which brings us to Obamacare….
Now with the launch of the Obamacare exchanges, we’re also getting a taste of what government-run healthcare looks like. With a three-year notice, the government couldn’t build a website capable of managing even a light load of account registrants. Obamacare websites are dysfunctional, premiums offered are outrageous, and the media is having a difficult time locating anyone who actually completed the application process.
Unfortunately, the government will adapt. The law is already working as designed, creating just enough of a mess to push us down the road toward a single-payer system. At every step of the way, low-level government employees will have access to the most intimate details of your medical records – and there is no doubt that the government will not hesitate to use this newfound authority to bully you to get what it wants.
Conservatives must not give in to the government bully. We must continue to fight Obamacare at every turn.
Indeed.
Also, I don’t agree that at every step low level government employees will have access to your medical records. Financial records, well that’s another matter.
