If you like it….Well, nevermind!
The
political cartoon goes something like this: The Prez: “If you like your
healthcare plan and doctor, you can keep ‘em.” Unhappy looking constituent:
“But, Mr. President, they cancelled my plan!” The Prez: “Well then you must not
have liked your plan.”
Strangely, this cartoon fails only in that it is not
mere parody of our current circumstances; it more or less defines
them.
Some
187 million people that got what healthcare insurance they paid for, are
satisfied with what they paid for (or they would have upgraded their plans) and
believed the former leader of the free world that he “had their backs.” ...As he
“sold it in” to us.
In the
world of sales, one can sell anything when afforded the freedom and opportunity
to lie with impunity, free from accountability. This car is a cream puff; only
got 14,000 miles and was driven by the local preacher on Sundays, and
garage-kept; it’s a steal… etc.
Should
you hold this and surrounding lies against him, surely you are a racist. No, not
a chance that the “white apologists” can even fix this one, as the White House
lamely promises relief to those losing coverage and not getting government
payments to cover increased costs incurred re-purchasing overpriced coverages in
“the market.”
But
guys, fair is fair; and now your coverage will include your maternity and
pre-natal care, anxiety care and phobias! Well, except for fear of the
Internet...
As
reported in The Washington Post on
Saturday: “It was clear from the beginning that there were going to be some
winners and losers,” said Timothy Jost, a law professor at Washington and Lee
University in Virginia, who supports the health overhaul. “But the losers are
calling reporters, and the winners can’t get on the website.”
Washington, DC, reports only six (6) people have
successfully signed up for free stuff online to this date…
The
real story is that the roles of Medicaid are swelling – this, the total
give-away plan – as people are forced into choices. This money comes straight
out of your confiscated tax money that the Internal Revenue Service took. Yes,
the Supreme Court of The United States formally ruled that Obamacare, and the
whole Affordable Care Act, are indeed a tax.
People,
it was not only a failure of web-based technology, or some browser mis-match or
bad computer code; it was wholesale failure to match up a set of goals,
procedures, plans and processes with reality. Of course, the plan was to be
picking winners and losers from the start! Not just failed implementation;
failed content...
The
lie-behind-the-scene is that the displaced, happy insured would be victimized in
droves, because the money to cover the poor would have to come from somewhere…
So Obamacare squeezes the middle-class again. Forced to purchase coverages at
levels and extents that don’t make sense for those in early to mid-life, the lie
from our champion of the middle-class, President Barack Obama
festers...
Then
came the non-apology apology. Prez to the people: (I’m paraphrasing here) “I
apologize to my people, especially those who believe what I said, not what I
meant. Of course, I regret forcing you into my marketplace, to purchase a
product you don’t want. But trust in me; I know what you want better than you
know what you want.”
[Now
get ready for the conversation – one way – from our leader about fairness in
radio broadcasts, equality for illegal-aliens, energy reform, rights for
strippers and pole dancers, and whatever he wants to agendize us
with!]
Because
he knows best.
In the
beginning, the sell-in for Obamacare was determined to be a whole lie. Otherwise
there would be no election win for our president of the United States, and no
“right to affordable healthcare” at all. Many to most of those without insurance
coverage simply deemed the insurance policies as a bad spend, or simply bought
basic or catastrophic plans, as needed. It was about choice.
Choice
is one of those things we had back when we were a free land of liberty. Remember
back then? No, not back when a car was a quarter (thanks Jerry Seinfeld) but
only recently, when you got to pick your doctor and your own health coverages
from a menu.
Gotta
go for now; figuring out how best to spend the $2,500 windfall savings promised
to me under our new Obama Promised Plan.
Happy
Veterans Day 2013 to all who have served and to their families. We must work to
save this land – from the inside this time.
