U.S. government strategy: when in doubt, delete and lie
It’s been a while since we’ve discussed ObamaCare in this space, so I thought it was time to get caught up. Needless to say, there’s nothing positive to tell you about a law that we knew a long time ago was a train wreck waiting to happen. It’s been even worse than expected, although polls are now showing that close to one-half of the people have learned to accept it. I’m sure many Germans learned to accept Hitler after a while, too.
Anyway, apparently the ObamaCare folks have been getting their tips on lying and deceiving from Obama’s Internal Revenue Service. Marilyn Tavenner, the woman in charge of Medicare & Medicaid Services for the ObamaCare program, is saying that some of her emails that investigators are looking for may not be “retrievable.”
Dan Issa, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman, has had to deal with these same types of deceptions from IRS officials recently, and he’s getting sick and tired of it.
When he was told about this latest batch of “deleted” emails by the Department of Health and Human Services, he said that it “defies logic” that multiple Obama Administration officials are “ignoring” federal rules on records-keeping.
“Yet again,” he said, “we discover that this administration will not be forthright with the American people unless cornered.”
Here’s another thing about ObamaCare. It was originally estimated that approximately 6 million people would have to pay a penalty in 2016 for not buying health insurance coverage. But now the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation are saying that only 4 million people will pay that fine.
Here’s why that’s not good news. The money from the fines that was expected to come in from those 2 million people will now be paid by us taxpayers. The insurance companies are also upset because many of the people who are not purchasing insurance coverage are young and healthy.
This group of people are the ones that insurance companies make most of their profits from because these younger people file fewer claims. Older people, who have more claims, cost the insurance companies money. Of course, those companies will pass this along to us in the form of higher payments.
Remember when Obama promised us that insurance rates would drop by approximately $2,500 per year per family of four? That’s turning out to be a very sick joke.
Do you have an ObamaCare horror story? Feel free to share it with me.
Obama Care directly and indirectly increased the cost to our congregation to provide family health benefits for our Pastor and his family by +75 %. This money over $ 16,000 last year alone, would have been used to help the poor. Now it goes to the federal government and insurance companies.
The last time I checked, they are not poor.
This is hurting small churches and organizations across America.
This is hurting every American – except for government employees and the insurance companies – they are exempt.
This is a textbook example of a violation of the RICO Act by the federal government and insurance industry.
If there is a agreed upon need to help pay insurance for those who cannot, our government should stand up and vote for a tax increase. That is allowed by law.
But forcing Americans to buy a product or service under the threat of fines and jail, in order to provide government program funding, is extortion.
I believe that if you dont pay taxes, you dont get to vote. The uninformed or stupid, not sure, which one, put this moron in office twice. It will take decades to correct what he has screw up.
Do I understand this right? if Obama declares Marshall Law he stays in office ?
If you think this is bad, just wait until bo is out of office in 2016. He has already promised more damage to America and the Constitution.
The people who voted for him the 1st time were dumb and the people who voted for him the 2nd time were just plain stupid. When he announced there would be FREE HEALTHCARE for everyone in the US, I listened because there is nothing free. You have to pay for it sooner or later, unless you are an illegal immigrant and then you get one heck of a break. I am on Medicare and if I have an XRAY, it cost be about $19.00. A sign in the clinic said if you do not have insurance and are an illegal, all of your lab test are FREE and your XRAYS cost $2.00 each. I guess we taxpayers and seniors are paying for obamacare big time and bo wants it that way. The more freebies he gives to the illegals, the more people will vote for the Democratic Party. When he first took office, he had a democratic congress and he did not tackle immigration and now the Republicans are trying to do something about it, but bo has let so many illegals in that the whole system is all messed up and it will take years to reverse if it ever is and that goes for obamacare as well. There is a saying, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. bo is trying to fix the American way of life when it isn’t broken.
You haven’t been able to trust our government for a very long time. Now it’s much worse under Obama.
I am a 48 yr old single mom with 2 kids-age 23 and 6. I’ve had health insurance my entire life. I was aghast when the cost was running 600-700.00/mo before Obamacare. Now it costs me over $1200 a month! I used to have an extra 500 bucks a month for extras like clothes, household goods, a movie night-some of the little extras you work so hard for. Now I have to be careful how much food I buy. I can’t pay for maintenance on my house. I have no extra at the end of the month. I have an employer group plan and was told I should just go on Obamacare to get a better rate. But I don’t want the government having all of my health info, history, etc,, not to mention I have some pride in NOT wanting to be on a government program. I am DISGUSTED with this tyrant in the White House!! This Obamacare tax results in a significant loss of my disposable income. I’d like to meet the 2 families out there I’m paying for-of course, THEY’D say they were entitled to it. This is SOCIALISM! There is no other word for it. They spy on us, use branches of the government to come after us for our political affiliations, and want to take our guns away. How DAFT do we as a “People” have to be to realize what is ahead? I have searched the internet for our State Militia – those citizen groups that were formed to protect our women & children in times of strife, but they have all taken their sites down for fear of government reprisal. We are facing SERIOUS times, my friends. We must join forces the old-fashioned way, until they start preventing our freedoms of assembly, that is. Even now, they must be watching blogs like these. So I’ll say – Barry I know you’re reading this, so drop dead. America hates you! And we don’t care what color you are! We know WHAT you are, so you better realize there is a tipping point, and you push us too far!
I only have one more comment . If there is anything left of the true Americans ,these are the ones that voted candidadates into office and tried to get those that would be best qualified to or instumental to run this country! I really want to know who opened the door to allow all the Rats into our house? They don’t belong here ! They have no interest in America except to destroy it and its people! What an abomination of Desolation. I can’t see how, after the Assassination of John Kennedy. Well actually when Mc Carthy was trying to clean out the communist from this country and he was done away with that there was no Honest Capable people in government left to Protect America and its people ! The Power of Darkness really laid out there plans. Now they have infiltrated the Justice Department and I can say almost every department in Washington DC. I could never have dreamed that our country would fall to the Devil but it sure did and he is tightening his grip every second of the day. I don’t like being taken over by Aliens that have no morals or reguard for Life, Liberty or the pursuit of Happiness ! It results only to living under a Dictatorship ,which is everything the Devil wants.! Look to the PAST, What Leader that had these Ideas to run not only their country but the world have succeeded ? They are all dead and there are none that lived with Christian Powers. If there was they were Assassinated. Do you know that the only two Presidents that were not FREE MASONS were LINCOLN and JOHN KENNEDY. The Anti Christian way of thinking is that there is no GOD and if they DO AWAY WITH GOD THE POWER OF DARKNESS PREVAILS. WELL, It is not going to happen ! Anyone who thinks they can remove ALMIGHTY GOD FROM THE UNIVERSE is absolutely COO ! , COO ! NUTS, INSANE ! Get yourself ready as we the children of GOD are getting ourselves ready for the SON OF MAN There is no escape from his Judgement ! For the children of GOD it is different ! Even though they die, they live ! They die with no condomnation. In Paradise ! So anyone as a Anti Christian had better think it over hard ! Time is running out ! After your testimony to defend yourself, do you want to hear these words ? …………….I NEVER KNEW YOU !
AMEN!!! Very Well Said!!!
“I am a Middle Class Mule” Although I hate to make a statement like this..It’s true. I am 49 years old and have been employed every year of my life since I flipped burgers at 16. I recently moved and sold my home I had been paying for for the past 10 years and then found out that although we live week to week made too much money to get a good interest rate on a home built in 1975! We have 2 kids at home and one in college that I had to borrow money to enroll. My wife and I both work every day but yet I see and hear about folks everyday who are given handouts who are healthlier than me! I sent a note just like this to our governor stating this: There should be an AWARD for people who work to pay taxes. It should have 5-a10 year increments to be awarded to folks who work everyday to support the lazy. Only then would there be incentive for the lazy folks who sit on their tails to go back to work. When does the middle class get theirs? I pay over $630 per month for insurance and have a $150 deductable (per family member) and a $40 copay for each prescription. Needl;ess to say we buy cough meds at the market because we just don’t have it. Meanwhile I have people all around me that NOW due to Obamacare MUST fill every prescription they are given by a doctor even if they are throwing them away becauyse they visit the doctor to get a certain drug. Everybody profits from this stupid health care except the middle class and we need it most. When I’m sick and can’t go to work..who pays for the freebies then?
The road to socialism is a slippery slope. Obama and his liberal henchmen/women are demonstrating how much damage can be done by putting these crooks in charge. All Americans will pay for electing him for years to come.
My wife and I are on Medicare and we were covered under the Blue Advantage plan with Horizon Blue Cross and Shield. It was a No Cost Plan. After Obomercare, Horizon cancelled our plan. Now we are covered by Ameri Health 65 HMO and our monthly cost is now up to $49.00 and$69.00 per month!! I guess the is all part of Re-Distribution of the Wealth Agenda, which will pay for those who can not pay?!?! Go Figure??”?
