Congressman Pete Sessions proposes anti-IRS enforced healthcare bill

Congressman Pete Sessions proposes anti-IRS enforced healthcare bill

  Congressman Pete Sessions proposes sanity into Obamacare tyranny! By Doc Vega Apparently, neither the American people, nor the House of Representatives, who were a Republican minority prior to November of 2010, paid enough attention to the Affordable Healthcare Reform Act or Obamacare as it is known. With some 20,000 pages of legal information released and still intentionally incomprehensible, 16,000 new agents hired under the terms of the nationalized medicine act, and 1/6 of the entire US economy tied up by this perverse legislation, we can be assured that the Hippocratic Oath has little to do with the rationed social medicine that will be practiced in this country. Obamacare is not about revamping the medical industry to provide better quality care for the population. It [...]

Will ObamaCare Medical Data be used in Political Battles?

Will ObamaCare Medical Data be used in Political Battles?

The IRS is tasked with enforcing ObamaCare, and what happens when people's private medical records start getting leaked for political reasons?  By Laura Lorenzo I worked at an abortion clinic, for a couple weeks, in 1984.  I don't know if it was the law in Florida that you could only abort up to 12 weeks, or if it was specific to that clinic. All I know is that a 16-week got past, and they freaked.  Like, someone might find out, and shut them down (I was young and dumb, so that's just a guess). I also worked with a volunteer ambulance, during that time. There was an unwritten rule that if you ran a call to this clinic, you'd kill the siren a couple blocks away, so's not to draw attention. I remember one paramedic who would make a point of blaring that thing all the way into the [...]

Call him Part-time Obama for a Part-time Nation

Call him Part-time Obama for a Part-time Nation

US job growth in April beat economist expectations as nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000, and the jobless rate fell to a four-year low of 7.5%. But the report contained worrisome signs that President Obama’s health care reform law is hurting full-time, high-wage employment. While the American economy added 293,000 jobs last month, according to the separate household survey, the number of persons employed part time for economic reasons — “involuntary part-time workers” as the Labor Department calls them – increased by almost as much, by 278,000 to 7.9 million. These folks were working part time because a) their hours had been cut back or b) they were unable to find a full-time job. At the same time, the U-6 unemployment rate — a broader measure of joblessness that includes [...]

ObamaCare will have a few Glitches and Bumps

ObamaCare will have a few Glitches and Bumps

Obama Conceded That ObamaCare Faces Implementation Hurdles OBAMA WARNED AMERICANS THAT THEY WILL FACE UNCERTAINTY WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR HEALTH CARE  At Today’s Press Briefing, Obama Said That ObamaCare Will Have “Glitches And Bumps” No Matter How Perfectly The Law Is Implemented. OBAMA: “It’s still a big undertaking and what we’re doing is making sure that every single day, we are constantly trying to hit our marks so that it will be in place. The last point I’ll make, even if we do everything perfectly, there will still be glitches and bumps, and there will be stories that can be written that says, ‘oh, look, this thing’s not working the way it’s supposed to and this happened and that happened,’ and that’s pretty much true of every government program [...]

Congress, aides want Obamacare exemption

Congress, aides want Obamacare exemption

Well there you have it, Congress once again shows their elitist attitudes as they think they should be exempt from Obamacare... Thankfully, Senator McConnell stated that every American should be exempt from Obamacare just Like Obama's friends and supporters Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, sources in both parties said. The talks — which involve Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the Obama administration and other top lawmakers — are extraordinarily sensitive, with both sides acutely aware of the potential for political [...]

Obamacare Fallout – Insurance to Rise 32% – Does Obama Care?

Obamacare Fallout – Insurance to Rise 32% – Does Obama Care?

Practically nothing about Obamacare is turning out to be what President Obama said it would be. The Medicaid expansion is proving unattractive for a number of governors. Some of these (and others who are buying into the Medicaid expansion) won’t set up the exchanges. The medical device tax is now recognized as anti-technology and anti-jobs. The new taxes and mammoth regulations may be responsible for the lag in full-time job growth and the uptick in part-time work. Its contraception mandate (even after revision) is facing multiple legal challenges from religious institutions and individual employers claiming that it infringes on their religious liberty. It isn’t bending the cost-curve downward. Reuters reports: A new study released on Tuesday by the nonpartisan Society of [...]

President Obama on 3rd Anniversary of ObamaCare

President Obama on 3rd Anniversary of ObamaCare

President Obama on 3rd Anniversary of ObamaCare Statement by the President on the Anniversary of the Affordable Care Act Three years ago today, I signed into law the principle that in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one should go broke just because they get sick. The Affordable Care Act will give hard-working, middle class families the health care security they deserve and protect every American from the worst insurance company abuses.  Already, millions of seniors are saving $600 a year on their prescription drugs. Millions of young people have been able to stay on their family’s health plan until age 26.  Preventive care, like mammograms for women and wellness visits for seniors, is covered free of charge. Most importantly, for the sake of our fiscal future, the growth of [...]

Expert say Obamacare will implode

Expert say Obamacare will implode

Americans 'aren't going to comply with paperwork. They're just going to walk' The House Republican budget plan assumes the repeal of Obamacare, and while the political votes may be hard to find, a leading health-care expert told WND the flaws of the system will likely lead to its implosion in the near term. Grace-Marie Turner is president of the Galen Institute and one of the leading policy-based critics of Obamacare. She said House Republicans are right to keep pushing for the repeal of Obamacare because of the myriad ways it afflicts the nation’s fiscal health. “When you look at the overall impact of this law on the economy, we know that it’s hugely important in depressing job creation,” she said. “It’s forcing companies to put people on part-time when they need [...]

Ben Carson: America’s Doctor

Ben Carson: America’s Doctor

Neurosurgeon who upstaged Obama to star in Hannity Special tonight. Dr. Ben Carson is fast becoming America’s Doctor. And he will make an hour-long house call with Sean Hannity in a Hannity Special on Fox News Friday night. Along with a handful of guests in an on-set audience, of which I will be privileged to be one. Dr. Carson, of course, has been in the news lately for this speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. In which, with a surgeon’s precision, the good doctor deftly dissected both Obamanomics and Obamacare — with President Obama seated two seats away. If you aren’t yet familiar with Dr. Carson you should make the time. Here is a man whose single mother, one of 24 children — you read that right — married at 13, had two children (Ben and his brother [...]

Those Young Obama Supporters? Welcome to Politics!

Those Young Obama Supporters? Welcome to Politics!

Now Young Obama supporters ( Like those making under 250,000 per year) are about to find out what being "screwed" by a politician is like President Obama's enemies often accuse him, in the starkest political terms, of crudely acting to shift resources toward his political base: green-energy donors, single women, Latinos, African-Americans. But the next 12 months are likely to reveal the opposite. Imminent elements of Obama's grandest policy move, the health-care overhaul known as ObamaCare, are calculated to screw his most passionate supporters and to transfer wealth to his worst enemies. The passionate supporters are the youth, who voted for him by a margin of 60% to 36%, according to exit poll samples of people 29 and under. His enemies are the elderly: Mitt Romney won 56% of the [...]
