Appeals Court Rule Right

Obamacare toon

The First Step in the right direction (pardon the pun) is the federal appeals court which has ruled against the Obama health law’s individual mandate, however, it viewed that mandate as a separate entity.

Chief Judge Joel Dubina wrote that “this economic mandate represents a wholly novel and potentially unbounded assertion of congressional authority: the ability to compel Americans to purchase an expensive health insurance product they have elected not to buy, and to make them re-purchase that insurance product every month for their entire lives.”
 
The fight just goes on and probably to the US Supreme Court.
 
Great strides have been made in overcoming the hammer and sickle of Obamacare.  This decision, combined with the failure of a liberal group in Ohio to block a ballot initiative on rejecting the individual mandate, means that the Obama administration will continue to have its hands full trying to defend its costly and unpopular health-care law.

Keep fighting the good fight!

Lying Is Way More Than ‘Forgetting’

When Our Liar-In-Chief was trying to convince us to go along with his Health Care Dictatorship, he would often bring up his mother's battle with cancer. Remember?

His mother was dying in the hospital, unable to afford the medical costs:

"in the last month of her life, she wasn't thinking about how to get well, she wasn't thinking about coming to terms with her own mortality, she was thinking about whether or not insurance was going to cover the medical bills and whether our family would be bankrupt"

Here's the real story as uncovered by new book by a New York Times reporter, which shows that it was a disability claim rather than cancer treatment that was disputed.

"Ann's compensation for her job in Jakarta had included health insurance, which covered most of the costs of her medical treatment," Janny Scott writes in "A Singular Woman: the Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mother."

"Once she was back in Hawaii, the hospital billed her insurance company directly, leaving Ann to pay only the deductible and any uncovered expenses, which, she said, came to several hundred dollars a month."

She was not worrying about bills and family bankruptcy. The insurance paid

And what the WH have to say? Oh, Obama just could not recall something that happened over a decade ago.

Uh huh. Right.

Do you enjoy being lied to?

The fact that Obama LIED to achieve his agenda should be the first big red flag.

President Obama came to office promising to better our health care system and fiscal discipline but instead has played “liar’s poker” with the American people. Desperate to convince us that his spending of a trillion dollars on his healthcare plan would "save" money, the White House fudged the numbers. They LIED.

Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius’ admitted in a slip of the tongue that the administration “double counted” Medicare savings in order to pass health care reform. Some reform. They LIED.

And oh, how the Left went into a frenzy at Sarah Palin's mention of Death Panels. Oh the name-calling and hostility. Well, they are here folks.

In the fall of 2010, a senior breast cancer patient in South Carolina told me about the impact that a devastating decision by the Food and Drug Administration will have on her life. Avastin is an expensive life-extending drug that she depends on, literally to keep her alive. In order to “bend the cost curve,” as the president has demanded, the FDA wants to allow Medicare and insurance companies to deny coverage for the drug in order to save money. Medicare would save millions of dollars if it doesn’t have to cover the cost of Avastin but it would be a death sentence for this woman in South Carolina and thousands of breast cancer patients like her. This is the sad reality of government-run health care.

The sick are being targeted as well. The president of the AIDS Health Foundation blasted President Obama's 2012 budget proposal for "rationing" lifesaving drugs.

Obama is willing and indeed, wants to sacrifice people for his ideology. He just plain does not give a damn.

Obamacare Trojan Horse

Maine voted for Obama by a 57%-40% margin in the 2008 election — thanks a lot Maniacs!

NOW they are trying to get out of following Obama's new healthcare law.

Maine was the first state granted the waiver, but several other states have petitioned and are waiting to get an answer. Those states are Nevada (voted Obama in ‘08), New Hampshire (voted Obama ‘08 — what happened to Live Free or Die??) and Kentucky. What does the waiver mean exactly?

A top official in the NHS (Britain's government healthcare system) has made the disturbing claim that premature babies should be left to die because it costs too much money and the success rate isn't all that great.

"If it was my child, from all the evidence and information that I know, I would not resuscitate,” said Dr. Daphne Austin (I sure would not want her caring for my children).

NHS is the system Don Berwick, our top man at the U.S. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services said he's in 'love' with. Moral of the story? Get rid of Obamacare – all of his stuff before it is too late.

Paid NOT to Provide Care

Sneaked into another bill last night… it has to be bad if they have to hide it and bypass congress, no?

Doctors will now be reimbursed with incentives to tell patients not to use medical care available and — DIE QUICKLY!

Yeah, that speech that Alan Grayson gave, except that it is the Democrats that want you to die quickly. Repubs care for Life and are against legislation that would deny care.

Obamacare… is crappy care.
