Obamacare - Loosing Its Punch

The wheels are coming off of Obamacare, the socialist health care program crafted by the Democrats and rammed down the throats of Americans. Other than those die-hard liberals who can't see the forest for the trees, no one likes it, no one wants it. Unions, liberal to the core, praised it in the beginning, blast it now. Many Democrats, who pushed it in the beginning are backing away from it now. Even Congress now has gotten a waiver when this was to be "plan for the masses." If it was good enough for the American people it was good enough for Congress. Guess again. 

Senator Max Baucus, (D) from Montana, way back in April, saw the writing on the wall when he  told Health and Human

Sen. Max Baucus

Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius during a routine budget hearing, "I just see a huge train wreck coming down." It should be noted that Senator Baucus was one of the authors of the Affordable Care Act, nicknamed Obamacare.

We are finding out there is nothing 'affordable' about the plan. Obama promised we would see a reduction in health care costs. Instead, families are seeing an increase, in some cases as much as $2500. Obama said, " If you like your current plan you can keep it," and " If you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep him/her." Again, many people are finding this to be false.

We are witnessing delays in implementing parts of the plan because (1) the government can't get its act together in getting it off the ground. This is expected as history shows the federal government cannot adequately run any type of

program. Once implemented the IRS is the agency slated to oversee the plan. That's a joke on it's face, especially now that the IRS is just one of several agencies mired in Obama scandals. And (2) the president is picking and choosing which parts of the plan to delay. He's playing politics. With the mid-term elections just around the corner, Democrats up for re-election don't want to have to try and defend unpopular parts of the plan. Something tells me they will have to anyway.

As for the President, he's running up the bill on Air Force One crisscrossing the country trying to sell his 'train wreck.'

Dr. O

At every stop you'll hear him whine about those voices demonizing his signature legislation saying the GOP wants to repeal it, but has not offered any kind of alternate plan. Au Contraire, Mon Ami. Read More: GOP Plans

The Congress is away from D.C. on summer recess. When they return going into the fall a nasty fight over the budget, taxes, spending and spending cuts will command our attention. Republicans are threatening to defund  Obamacare.....Do it! Let's avoid this train wreck!
