The Obama Administration and the Left Demonstrate Why Obamacare Must Be Repealed

The statists of the left and the Obama administration are demonstrating why Obamacare is unconstitutional and must be repealed. This must be done to protect the American people from their and other’s power hungry tyranny.

It is absurd that someone would even have the thought process that others (taxpayers) need to pay for their birth control. It is absurd that anyone would ask American taxpayers to pay to provide for their sexual activities. It is absurd that someone would go bankrupt because they are having so much sex. Please! If that is true, then they need financial management classes and they need to learn personal responsibility. Most people have the ability and common sense to change their personal behavior in order to avoid bankruptcy.

Representative Pelosi and others that exhibit laughably ridiculous behavior do not deserve to serve the people. Keep it up. Keep showing us who you really are. You will not be in office much longer. You will be laughed right out of office. You are denigrating and using women for political gain.

Why does the 'left' keep injecting us into their bedrooms? We do not want to be there! Stop screwing the taxpayer! Take responsibility for your own lives! Taxpayers should not have anything to do with others’ private lives. They are asking us to take away their freedom! They are asking government to control their lives! This is sad and pathetic.

This is a made up 'crisis' to divert attention from President Obama's economy and to subvert the Constitution. No one seeks to or is denying anyone access to birth control. There are programs available to provide birth control without a federal mandate. The only entity seeking to give the federal government and the President the power to dictate or ban anything is the left. Obamacare gives the federal government and the President this power. The federal government and any future president will have the power to dictate or ban contraceptives or anything else, for that matter, once they have successfully usurped the Constitution. Do we want the federal government or a president in our homes and bodies? I say, definitely not!

The only threat to your freedom or your birth control pills or whatever else is the Obama administration and the "left"!

America, do not buy into their insanity! It is absurd! It is based on false premises and lies! People have a choice. We are not entitled. We must be responsible for our own actions and choices, not taxpayers. We should be proud to pay our own way and not take handouts from taxpayers. Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for the sexual activities of law students at Georgetown University or anyone else. There are cheap and even free contraceptives available. If a person is not able to find these options and resources, they have no business becoming a lawyer!

If you really cannot afford contraceptives, then your best solution is to vote President Obama out of office in 2012. It’s Obamanomics, stupid! I would suspect most people have food and gas as a higher priority since most people have access to free contraceptives.

The solution to this faux "crisis" is to get the economy going. There are some steps the American people must take for this to happen. Fire the Obama administration in 2012, repeal Obamacare, cut government spending 'across the board', cut oppressive federal, state and local regulations and lower/simplify taxes. The economy will soon recover, jobs will come back, unemployment will drop, wages will increase, and people will find employment or make their own opportunities. You will then be able to afford contraceptives. More importantly you will be able to afford food, gas and a place to live. You will be able to control your own life.

There is also the First Amendment and the moral issue of the state forcing, against its or their will, a church or private citizens to pay and provide for something that is against its or their church doctrine or conscience.

There is also the moral issue of the state forcing taxpayers to pay or provide for something that increases the risk of breast cancer. These things should be left to the individual to choose what is right for them.

Your insurance should provide for 'birth control' prescribed for a medical condition by a doctor. Tax payers should not pay or be involved in health insurance. This should only be between the patient and doctor.

If this issue really burdens you then start and/or fund some charities or businesses to supply free contraceptives to all. Do this in the private sector where your idea can also create opportunities, jobs or wealth for others.

Why does almost every "solution" from the Obama administration and the left make "the problem" and everything worse? Why must the statists’ solutions to every "problem" or "crisis", made up or real, trample the Constitution and take away our freedom? In the end, the statist's "solutions" end up hurting everyone. Rescue America 2012!

Freedom and Health Care Reform

In a society founded on individual freedom, most of the health care plans currently in Congress should not even be an option. If we have a shred of decency, most of the bills being worked on in Congress will be tossed out and reforms based on the individual freedoms our country was founded on will be devised. Most of the bills in Congress will do exactly what they claim will happen if things are not fixed, except it will happen even faster. There are very few people who say nothing should be done. Do not buy into that straw man argument.

Many jobless Americans would rather have the economy be the number one priority. This does not diminish the health care problems. But first show you can help the economy or at least not make it worse. A growing, healthy economy will alleviate many health care problems. Believe me there are many people and small businesses that are sitting back waiting for fear that cap & trade, all the taxes being talked about to pay for ObamaCare, the health coverage penalty taxes, surtaxes and others will be enacted. This uncertainty will keep jobs from being created and keep the recovery from happening. Many businesses have done all the cuts they can do. Some still offer their employees health insurance, especially those that have found the high-deductible variety with an HSA. Cap & tax, other taxes and the current health care bills in congress, with their included massive tax increases, will cause layoffs and most likely put many out of business, even if they dump health care onto a public option. There are so many in this situation. Small business should be fueling the recovery. Instead they are struggling. This is a bad sign for a recovery.

Many have read the bills that are in Congress and they have deemed them to be disastrous. Yes, many of the claims are exaggerated, however, those writing the bills and those who advise the President have said publicly they want a single-payer system. Those who devised the public option admit publicly that it was designed as the first step to a government-run single-payer system, and even the President has publicly said several times in the past he is in favor of a single-payer system. These facts just make people uneasy and wary of what is in the bills. The ideas the President’s advisers espouse and the fact that he would surround himself with these advisers is troubling. These ideas may be watered down or taken out of the bills. But I believe they should not be advising on something this personal. The bills in Congress have many aspects i.e. taxes, employer taxes and penalty fees, surtaxes, coverage mandates in the exchange and many other things in HR 3200 that will cause many to be dumped onto a public option or co-op if it is available.

Mandates will just raise health care costs. These bills do not address high costs; they just build on the problems without fixing them. Even a deficit neutral ObamaCare plan would cost more. Higher taxes would only pay for part of the trillions in cost. Costs would skyrocket year after year, like Medicare, Medicaid and other government entitlements, because these plans do not address the high costs, they just build on these crumbling foundations. If you have to raise taxes to pay for health care, you are not saving any money; you are making it more costly. The plans in Congress spend trillions and raise taxes, yet they still leave 17-34 million uninsured. This is not a good investment, especially considering it will slow the economy and lower the quality of health care.

You cannot dismiss the plans that are in congress just because they are a work in progress. They are similar and they represent the direction those in congress wish to go. Do not allow yourself to be deceived. Do not dismiss anything until you have vetted it out. Just because you hear it on TV does not make it true. In fact, those pushing the reforms in Congress and sometimes even the President have made wild claims.

Don’t forget the original plan was to get a bill done before the August break. Which means a bill similar to the House HR 3200, Baucus or Kennedy plans would have been voted on with an included public option. One could say that is what they really want. This is far too important for that amount of speed and deception. The American people should have been included from the beginning. That has added to the distrust and related falling poll numbers of Congress, the President and the current health care plans. This has added to the frustration that is now being released at town hall meetings across the country.

The framework for a panel to curb costs and build guidelines for treatments for doctors to follow has already been set up in the stimulus bill and it is in HR 3200. In medicine there is no one size fits all. Everyone is different, everyone responds differently to various treatments. The same form of cancer, for instance, responds differently to the same treatment from patient to patient. Sometimes there has to be fine-tuning or a combination of treatments. If certain treatments are mandated and others are deemed too expensive or take too long to be certified, many patients will not receive the care they deserve. A centralized panel would lower the standard of care. A panel or bureaucracy making these decisions would by their nature arbitrarily discriminate against some, with no recourse for the patient. For those who think health care is a right, this would infringe on that right. In any case, with real reforms there is no need for a panel to curb costs.

Rationing already happens in Oregon, MA (just started because of costs) and the VA. The pharmaceutical companies often pay for drug treatments for cancer patients themselves when these states will not cover it.

There were amendments introduced to add to the bills that would prohibit rationing etc. These amendments would have put to rest those rumors once and for all. They were defeated.

I urge everyone to take more time to research material even if only to debunk it.

A centralized, government mandated and controlled health care system with a “public option” that will lead to single payer health care will lead to disaster. This statement taken on its own is a true statement. I do not make this claim, rather history and current systems around the globe show this. The health care plans in congress have to be studied to make sure they are not going in this direction.

Until there is a plan that is going in the direction of true reform, many Americans will continue to fight for rational reforms and against what currently is in Congress.
