The True Reason For Pushing Obamacare

A week ago, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy observed
that implementation of the Affordable Care Act stood to “…change the
relationship of the federal government to the individual in a very
fundamental way.”

Although Kennedy was probably unaware of it at the time, that
“change” is precisely what the authors of ObamaCare have hoped to impose
on the American public for decades. For healthcare itself was never the
real purpose of the massive, complex, and overreaching law as the
following information should make clear.

Charged with defending the constitutionality of the Act before the
Court, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli told the Justices that some 40
million Americans were either permanently or occasionally without health
insurance.

But were that number 50 million, as has been claimed by some
ObamaCare advocates during the past year, these facts must be
considered:

  • 8 million of that number are Medicaid recipients and therefore NOT uninsured

  • 10 million are illegal aliens

  • 11 million earn in excess of $75,000/yr and pay a substantial portion of any healthcare costs out of pocket

  • 9 million earn over $50,000/yr and also pay for much of their own healthcare

Of the 20 million higher income individuals above,
many are young and CHOOSE to not have health insurance. And
interestingly, in a Gallup poll, 60% of those who are uninsured and
making between $30,000-$75,000 per year rate their healthcare as “good”
or “excellent” in spite of having no insurance!

So rather than 50 million, it is only some 20 million American citizens
who might actually be uninsured for extended periods of time. And even
they can obtain healthcare at no charge from hospitals and clinics,
which are compensated in part each year by federal or state government
grants and must by law provide care, regardless of ability to pay.

In 2010,
the “…Medicare chief actuary, [said] that Obamacare would raise
nationwide health costs by over $300 billion through 2019 in relation to
what those costs would be without Obamacare.”

And the Senate Budget Committee had reported the addition of another $17 trillion in unfunded mandates over the next three quarters of a century, thanks to spending obligations added by Obamacare.

Do the American people NEED a 3,000 page law and dizzying expense
factors in order to provide healthcare for 20 million people? Doesn’t
this extraordinary departure from common sense and fiscal responsibility
make it obvious that the LAST thing the congressional Democrat
supermajority of 2008 really had in mind was the effective
implementation and administration of healthcare?

When Barack Hussein Obama vowed to “fundamentally transform the United States of America,”
black voters believed it would translate into more free goods and
services; organized labor dreamed of increasing dues, membership, and
power; and gullible, guilt-ridden whites envisioned the post-racial
melding of happy races and forgiveness of past sins.

But the radical left, typified by the inner circle of the Manchurian
Candidate, backed Obama’s duplicitous ramblings because they understood
the REAL significance of his “utopian” vision of the future.  And that
vision has assumed the form of law in ObamaCare as the claim of
universal coverage becomes a scheme of nationwide enslavement.

Five men have the deadly serious job of making certain that it doesn’t come to pass.
