ObamaCare: How Has It Helped?
As Megan McArdle points out, the administration is incapable of answering a key
question: How many uninsured people have gained insurance as a result of
ObamaCare? Nobody knows. I don't think that administration wants to
know, because it knows the answer will look bad for them. But it's a problem
when we are unable to track how many people have truly signed up for
coverage. It's also a problem when the
administration arbitrarily changes deadlines, like it did this week. Insurers are furious with the latest ObamaCare delay because it prevents
them from being able to accurately calculate premium costs for next year, which
must be done this spring. That's what is
so amazing about this administration is their apparent lack of understanding of
how their decisions impact businesses, employers and individuals. Companies, families, business owners all have
to plan things. They have to budget,
calculate, estimate, and project in order to exist within the bounds of
reasonable expectations. But apparently
that is not the case in government.
ObamaCare Tips The Scales
ObamaCare is officially the
greatest domestic policy disaster this country has probably ever
witnessed. Its failures go far beyond a
website. This is an epic fail that will
be studied in history books for years to come. ObamaCare is impacting our
economy, our wallets, our healthcare, the integrity of our Constitution, and
much more. All of these unilateral
delays aren't just a sign of incompetence but they are unconstitutional. Obama is doing it to try and save ObamaCare,
not just because it is his chief legislative achievement, but because this law
is the Holy Grail of liberalism. This is
what the left has been fighting to achieve for the better half of the last
century, and now it is crumbling before our very eyes. As pointed out in the Wall Street Journal, “One by one, the myths of the Affordable Care Act
have been revealed. When the curtain on open enrollment falls on March 31, the
last remaining big myth of ObamaCare will be fully exposed: The individual
mandate has failed.” This is because
millions of uninsured Americans will remain without coverage, and that will
still be the case after the delayed enrollment period ends. Wasn't that the whole point of ObamaCare? |

"A Fair Shot for
Everyone"
I just want you to be aware
of the Democrats' latest campaign that will likely carry them into the midterm
election. Yesterday they rolled out
their agenda: "A Fair Shot for Everyone." This is a rehash of populist ideas they've been
pushing for ages. Ideas include
increasing the minimum wage, investments (aka. spending) in infrastructure,
etc. They want to focus "like a
laser" on middle-class concerns. What they don't want to focus on
is ObamaCare. Chuck Schumer says that 85 percent of Americans are not effected by ObamaCare. Is this guy living in the same country we are
living in? ObamaCare affects everyone in
some way, starting with the fact that you have to prove your status of
insurance coverage to the IRS. It
impacts people who are covered because it has messed with premium rates and it
has changed existing coverage for millions of Americans who had plans but
weren't allowed to keep them. Millions
of Americans are now subsidizing others thanks to ObamaCare subsidies. Businesses have had to fire workers or cut
hours because of ObamaCare. Democrats
can continue to tell themselves that no one cares about ObamaCare because it
doesn't directly impact them, but they are misguided.
Today's "Hot Topic" From the Hannity Forums Should the EMTALA Be Repealed? - Posted by DDye
Since this law requires hospitals to treat everyone, it forces taxpayers
to pay for other peoples' medical treatments (from higher costs derived
from the "free" treatment hospitals are forced to provide), probably
the most popular conservatives argument against ObamaCare. If you are
opposed to ObamaCare because it forces you to pay for other people, so
does the EMTALA. And that care is much more expensive, and is a big
reason why an Advil costs $20 in a hospital.
Are you in favor of repealing EMTALA? If so, how would you deal with
poor and working poor people with medical emergencies on the federal
level? Or would you keep it at the state level, where poorer states
wouldn't have to guarantee treatment?
And if you oppose repealing EMTALA but still oppose ObamaCare, how do
you justify opposition to ObamaCare under the argument that it forces
you to pay for the medical treatment of others?
