Obamacare already pinching pennies, cutting care Obamacare update #2

These types of stories WILL be the norm unless we pull the ultimate 180 in November and turn the USA Titanic around by electing conservatives...at this point only found in the Republican party.

You know those tests the doctor does to catch cancer early or prevent a heart attack? Yeah, too expensive, i guess. The United States Preventive Services Task Force has already recommended that tests such as PAP smears, mammograms, and prostate cancer screenings be done away with, now add EKGs.

Have you heard about this in the news? I hadnt. I imagine, most wont ever learn that their health care is now lower in quality until they find out that they are dying of cancer. Cancer that could have been caught early and treated. Not anymore. Why? So Obamacare can provide a "free" doctor visit to an unemployed 26 year old with a cold.

We have one chance for preventive medicine with America's health. Spread the word, get registered to vote, research these issues and talk to your circle of influence. We need to cut out this Obamacare cancer before it becomes institutionalized and inoperable. Republicans must win every possible House and Senate seat, and absolutely MUST take back the White House from our "you didnt build that" p-Resident. Its the only course of treatment we have.....

Obamacare will cause murder

Yep, murder.

You know what happens when the government starts controlling healthcare.

They kill people to save money.

Dont believe me.

BLAM!

Read it and weep....seriously, so so sad....and preventable.....its call capitalism, and freedom jerkwads.

Obamacare: Preview of your new mandated Hell

What do you want first the bad news or the horror story?

You know what the biggest con job of this whole Obamacare situation is? Its that Health Insurance is worth anything. What good is having insurance "coverage" when there is no one providing health care. "What do you mean. Alec?" Im sure you are asking.

Well, folks, the reason health care is not and can never be a "right", is because, it is a product of someone else's work. No one owes you their sweat, labor, or attention just because you exist. When a tyrannical government suddenly takes away whats left of your freedom to make a living in a particular field, what would you do?

I knew what American doctors would do, because its happened everywhere else they were forced to become slaves of the government, but here is your confirmation.

83% of doctors are now considering quitting. I can hear many more screeching the brakes as they swerve around med school to seek other vocations.

So, tell me, Obamacare suckers, where you going to go with your handy dandy new "coverage" when 5/6ths of the MDs disappear. How bout when the next generation of family docs, specialists, and nurses never show up?

Yep, you are now going to be forced to pay a giant tax for "health insurance" you will never get.....I shouldnt say never....someone may show up eventually, if your lucky.

Then again, maybe not until its too late.


Thats right. You may die of thirst waiting for care.....BUT GOSH DARN IT, you will have "coverage".

This whole situation is sickening.

The horror show is just beginning.

We have one shot left to avoid the depths of this socialist misery.

We must elect Mitt Romney President and give him Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Allow them to repeal this monster before it starts to kill.

Democrats will not help turn this runaway freight train around, in fact, they are dropping the hammer on the accelerator in hopes you will be too apathetic or uninformed to pay attention before its too late.

This is the last off ramp before the cliff......seriously.

Holy frakkin' crap....socialized medicine in Belgium causing nurses to murder patients.

This is unbelievable but totally predictable in a system that has failed every single time it has been implemented. When the money runs out the politicians are too greedy and selfish to give up their power so they start to cut corners to keep the house of cards standing....one of those corners....killing the elderly in order to save money.

Call it rationing life, call it euthanasia, its murder to kill someone who doesnt want to die. Doing it to save a failed health care system money, is evil in the most sinister way.

Just remember, that is the road they have put us on in America. Obamacare will necessarily force rationing and cost cutting measures that will make saving money more important than saving lives.

Does a country run by Democrats scare you yet?

Great Britain to cut health care services to save money

Thats called rationing and it causes suffering and sometimes premature death. Socialized medicine (like what we they just passed here) is a nightmare for the sick. Imagine having to wade through 100 pages of forms and 8 different bureaucrats to have a simple knee operation....its coming. Why? Because the longer they can delay your treatment the more money the government saves for themselves, and that is the only concern when the politicians control health care.....money.

You stupid stupid liberals. I seriously hope you are the ones suffering while waiting around for a much needed operation, cause if its me, im going to redefine surly on your asses. Unbelievable levels of idiocy. Screw the facts, and history, and even the current circumstances in Canada and Britain and 10 other countries, liberals want control of health care so they took it. Well, I got two fingers you can have.

Happy Saturday.

Nancy Pelosi says "its ok to be a bum now, someone else will pay for your health care"

Its this kind of liberal sleight of hand bullcrap that fires me up. Nancy Pelosi knows for damn well that she isnt paying for a thing. Its those few Americans that are actually still able to succeed in Obama's nation that will be footing the bill. Democrats will just take the credit as their cancerous methods destroy prosperity.


PS. Im a professional musician who lived without health care for a long time....voluntarily...in my 20's, beer and parties were my chosen expenses. Having some working stiff pay for my health care would have been a travesty. To have the Democrats take credit for it would have been a disgusting ruse of sinister proportions.

Pelosi: Hey, quit your job – we’ll pay for your health coverage!

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “entrepreneur” as “one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise.” Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats defines entrepreneurial somewhat differently, as this clip from Nicholas Ballasy at CNS News demonstrates. Pelosi tells an audience in DC that ObamaCare is an “entrepreneurial bill,” because it will let people quit being productive and allow them to leech off of … entrepreneurs:

We see it as an entrepreneurial bill, a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.

In other words, we should all just join the circus and let Mom and Dad pick up the bill. That’s not entrepreneurial; it’s a welfare state.

CNN has become a joke

CNN always seemed to dance around the edges of a news story while being more concerned with the opinion but now it seems like they arent even attempting the news part while completing inventing the story part.

This story is completely untrue and it seems CNN made it up and/or has decided their job is to now lie to support the President's agenda.

For the facts and the proof go HERE.

How far has the press fallen when a lowly blogger like myself can debunk their garbage in 15 minutes?

Now you know why i trust nothing i see in the news anymore.

Obamacare scandal may have legs

Seems that even without the media this story has found some legs today. Lets hope the truth gets to as many ears as possible.

David Freddoso at the Washington Examiner picked up on the story.

Gateway Pundit has more info.

Hot Air has a take, also.

The American Spectator piece which may have got the ball rolling.


If Bush had done this, the media would have been all over it....lets see if they make a peep.

BREAKING: Dems hid bad Obamacare report until after vote

If this true then heads better roll. Obamacare was wildly unpopular with the voters but was forced through anyway while Democrats spewed fictional budget savings and lied about what was contained within the bill. We find out now that they new everything they were saying was completely untrue and they had to hide the facts in order to prevent even more vocal outrage from the American people.

The liberal story summed up perfectly within the health care debate. The ends justify the means.

Thats how tyranny works.

If America continues to choose this kind of low life to run its government, it will get what it deserves.

Breaking: Dems Hid Damning Health Care Report From Public Until a Month After Vote!

DEMOCRATS HID DAMNING HEALTH CARE REPORT FROM PUBLIC UNTIL A MONTH AFTER VOTE

More hope and change–
A damning health care report generated by actuaries at the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department was given to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius more than a week before the health care vote. She hid the report from the public until a month after democrats rammed their nationalized health care bill through Congress.

The results from the report were troubling. The report released by Medicare and Medicaid actuaries shows that medical costs will skyrocket rising $389 billion 10 years. 14 million will lose their employer-based coverage. Millions of Americans will be left without insurance. And, millions more may be dumped into the already overwhelmed Medicaid system. 4 million American families will be hit with tax penalties under this new law.

Sarah Palin 1 - Barack Obama 0

In the latest blow to Sarah Palin's critics and more evidence that her analysis of Obamacare was much more accurate than the misinformation that came out of the Obama administration, the existence of "death panels" has been verified by Obama's own Budget Director Peter Orszag.

That means, if you need cancer treatment, you will only get it if the government thinks its financially viable and you are worth the expense of life saving care. Its a level of power no bureaucrat should have and will lead to the preventable deaths of untold Americans.

Way to go Democrats, another day, another Obamacare lie exposed. We must repeal this bill before it destroys lives.

Sarah Palin was right on the money. Do you think the media will apologize for bashing her when she made this correct prediction?

Sarah Palin Was Right… Obama Budget Director Orszag Admits Government Panels Will Decide Who Gets Health Care (Video)

Sarah Palin was right.
Barack Obama’s nationalized health care bill includes powerful health care rationing “death panels.”

Obama Budget Director Peter Orszag admitted earlier this month that:
A Powerful Rationing Panel (Not Doctors) Will Control Health Care Levels

Naked Emperor News

Maybe this is what Michelle Obama meant when she said Americans will have to sacrifice with Obamacare.

Related… Democrats ready insurance price controls to offset the huge insurance premium hikes Obamacare will trigger that they swore up and down Obamacare would not trigger.

Not one solitary word

Thats how much you can believe of what the Democrats in Congress tell you about Obamacare. They lied so much and so often that in a just world, they would all lose their jobs. To tell the American people the exact opposite of what is true about the health care bill is beyond dishonest, its a disgusting misuse of political power for theft. Theft of freedom and more obviously your money. You cant even begin to imagine how much more of your money they will end up taking for this debacle....oh, and the whole health care system will implode.....and when it does, and the government claims that it is the only one who can fix it......you better remember why it got mangled in the first place....THEM.

Our country needs to rid itself of the liberal virus before it infects America beyond our ability to heal. Their policies create problems they claim only more of their policies will fix, which make things worse, and so on. It a downward spiral until they are relegated to sitting naked in the mud whining to each other like in the 60's. It was stupid then, but harmless, now those same idiots are running the country and are incompetent irrational fools.

The news will only get worse on Obamacare, trust me. Punish the Democrats in November....dont vote for a single solitary one.

Government Releases New Numbers on Obamacare Showing Costs Will Skyrocket

This really is criminal– Now that Obamacare has been rammed into law we get to see just how much we were lied to by the radical left and the state-run media.

The federal government released a new report on the cost of Obamacare and the results are troubling. The report comes from actuaries from Medicare and Medicaid. Medical costs will skyrocket rising $389 billion 10 years. 14 million will lose employer-based coverage. Millions will be left without insurance. And millions more will be may be dumped into the already overwhelmed Medicaid system. 4 million American families will be hit with tax penalties under this new law.

Of course, these were ALL things that democrats and President Obama assured us would not happen.

Nancy Pelosi told America in March, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”
Now we know.

More… So, who told the truth on health care?

The truth begins

Now that Obamacare is passed, we have seen a slow leak of information completely in opposition to everything the Democrats claimed while pushing the bill. Things they knew were true but lied about. Since the bill is now law, they have to let the facts come out or risk looking even more out of touch and dishonest.

For today's example we turn to Kathleen Sebelius, a member of Obama's own cabinet, for our daily does of Obamacare reality. Turns out, they have no idea how much it will cost. After fudging the numbers in order to make the price tag seem horrible instead of devastating, they admit it was all a ruse.

It was obvious to those of us who studied the bill, but that leaves out most of Congress, so here we go--- another skyrocketing government program expenditure that does nothing but make our lives worse.

Tax increase, they name is Big McLargehuge.

Sebelius: We don’t know what ObamaCare costs will be

Think of this as a companion piece to the sudden recognition that massive government interventions cost more than they save. On Wednesday, Kathleen Sebelius appeared before the House Appropriations Committee to discuss the appropriations for high-risk pool subsidies that ObamaCare provides to the states. The bill appropriated $5 billion for this program, but as Sebelius tells the committee, that was just a spit-balling number. In reality, no one has the faintest clue how much money will actually get spent on this program, via Breitbart TV and Naked Emperor News:

CMS is the actuary for Medicare and Medicaid, which warned that the forecasting in ObamaCare was hopelessly optimistic, and this appears to be one of those areas in which they’ll be proven right more quickly than most.

But don’t worry — Congress knew exactly what they were doing when they passed the bill. Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

You mean Obamacare even screws Congress

You know a piece of legislation is bad when even the NY Times is in awe of its horriblenessocity.

Way to go Congress.....you are now as worthless as the French Army.

Whole piece HERE @ Moonbattery

clipped from moonbattery.com NYT Gobsmacked that ObamaCare Screws Over Congress Some in the media are a little slow in figuring out the copious problems buried in ObamaCare. Apparently, so are most of the lawmakers who voted for it. In a new report, the Congressional Research Service says the law may have significant unintended consequences for the "personal health insurance coverage" of senators, representatives and their staff members. For example, it says, the law may "remove members of Congress and Congressional staff" from their current coverage, in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, before any alternatives are available. The OMG line from this article: The confusion raises the inevitable question: If they did not know exactly what they were doing to themselves, did lawmakers who wrote and passed the bill fully grasp the details of how it would influence the lives of other Americans?

Obama raises taxes on middle class

I cant even count the number of times i heard Obama promise not to raise taxes on the middle class. It was front and center in his campaign rhetoric.

Well, check off another promise made by the Obama campaign that is being broken by the Obama administration. If you voted for the guy because of anything he said during the campaign you have to be disappointed.

Im curious how much play this broken tax promise will get since the same exact circumstance was enough to derail George Bush Sr.'s reelection in 1992.

Read about the coming pain HERE @ Hot Air.

clipped from hotair.com Congressional committee reports ObamaCare is a $3.9B tax hike on middle class Barack Obama promised during his presidential campaign that he would cut taxes for the middle class.  Every time his big-spending agenda got challenged by Republicans as a deficit buster that would require vast, broad tax hikes to sustain, Obama insisted that his agenda would save money for the middle class by shifting the burden to the rich — and nowhere did he make that pitch harder than on health care reform.  Now the Joint Committee on Taxation says that ObamaCare will hit the middle class with $3.9 billion in higher taxes by 2019: Consider this the Hope and Change analog to Bush 41’s notorious “Read my lips — no new taxes!” Of course, expiration dates on Obama promises are nothing new, but this one seems particularly cynical. It manages to hit the most vulnerable by denying tax deductions for medical care.

Stupak cashing out or cashing in?

Bart Stupak....the traitor who allowed Obamacare to pass by selling out his values (if he really had any) and the entire nation because being a Democrat means doing as you are told....is "retiring". He is proof there are no moderate Democrats. Stupak is everything that is wrong with Washington DC.

Well, it seems that his betrayal has cost him the support of much of his electorate so he is avoiding a firing by retiring. Buh Bye gutless turd.

Now we must watch him closely to see what the payoff was for pushing Obamacare over the finish line. I guarantee he is getting something....maybe just a cushy private sector no show job, but something.

This is how government is run when Democrats are in control. Corruption is the rule. Power is the goal.

clipped from gatewaypundit.firstthings.com Stupak Retiring! Slimy Rep. Bart Stupak will announce today that he will not run for reelection. The Michigan democrat gave Speaker Pelosi the votes she needed to pass her pro-abortion nationalized health care bill last month. FOX News reported: Michigan Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak, who was the central figure in the abortion debate surrounding the health care law, will retire from Congress at the end of this term. Stupak was a lightning rod in the debate over abortion provisions contained in the health care feud. Abortion language in the House bill was deemed the Stupak amendment because it provided clear rules that federal funding could not be used by insurance companies to pay for abortions. But the final law adopted different language from the Senate bill. Good riddance. Maybe he got that ambassadorship to Aruba after all? The Tea Party Express chimed in on the news this morning. They are holding anti-Stupak rallies celebrations in Michigan today.

Only Repeal is acceptable.

A well crafted must read piece by Doc Zero at Hot Air, If Republicans want to ensure their status as a minority is made permanent all they have to do is wuss out on repealing Obamacare. Repeal is the only outcome that is acceptable to much of the country and will send those energized Americans into the arms of anyone willing to promise it......including a 3rd party. I truly believe that if the Republicans go soft on this issue, they will lose the opportunity to make dramatic gains in November's elections.

clipped from hotair.com The Principle of Repeal One way or another, ObamaCare won’t last far beyond the point where your kids go bankrupt trying to pay for it. The American entitlement state is the world’s tallest, shakiest house of cards. We can find the strength and self-respect to repeal this garbage now, or weep in shame and confusion when it implodes, after years of increasing poverty and decreasing public health. I encourage wobbly Republican politicians to take a long look at their preschool-age children, grandchildren, nephews, or nieces during the Easter holiday. Make peace with ObamaCare now, and you give life to a system that has already declared war on those kids The early battle cry of “Repeal and Replace!” has become stuck in a few Republican throats. The thinking among “top Republicans” is that outright repeal of ObamaCare might be impossible, leading to frustration among an energized base that demands nothing less.

RIght On Doc!

Sorry for the late start today, Kate must have roofied me cause i slept waaaaay longer than usual.......anyway....

Im glad to see someone forcing Obama's brainwashed followers to take responsibility for believing his rosy speeches and outright lies. If it hurts someone's feelings, too f'ing bad, yo. The really real world is about to get ugly, and you will be forced to pick a side, at least have a spine and admit where you stand.....

clipped from www.moonbattery.com Doctors Begin to Rebel Will ObamaCare destroy the medical profession, driving the capable away from the field and leaving us with a handful of foreign-trained Third-World immigrants given to car-bombing airports, as socialized medicine has done to Britain? Or will the State be turned back? At least some are showing signs of resistance: "I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, a Mount Dora [Florida] urologist and a registered Republican opposed to the health plan, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it." But of course, even if Cassell did refuse to see Obamunists, our liberal lawyer rulers could just override his wishes and force him to do whatever they demand: Cassell may be walking a thin line between his right to free speech and his professional obligation, said William Allen, professor of bioethics, law and medical professionalism at the University of Florida's College of Medicine.

Just wait

We will be finding hidden butt nuggets of joy for years in the Obamacare disaster. The accounting done by Obama and the Democrats would put them in jail in a normal society. Expect to hear about "costs" rising for the rest of your life......oh, and that will always be followed by taxes rising.

The whole thing makes me want to projectile vomit on Tom Hanks

Rest of the good news HERE.

clipped from dailycaller.com Obama health bill hid $30 billion in Medicaid costs, critics say The federal government already has the “Doc Fix,” an annual shortfall of about $20 billion that must be paid to maintain current payment rates to physicians under Medicare. Now, it looks like President Obama’s health-care bill created another funding cliff, costing an additional $5.5 billion or so each year. Critics say the costs were hidden from view in the $940 billion health-care bill to lower the price tag by about $30 billion, and also as a way to gain the support of doctors and hospitals without angering governors. Low Medicaid reimbursement rates have cut down on the number of physicians that will even see poor and indigent recipients in the first place.

What is Obama going to do when he doesnt have a Democrat Congress to blank check his dishonest political maneuvers.
