Obamacare in one (long) sentence

Summed up rather neatly by a congressional hopeful in Illinois. (Considering how easy it is for federal pols to legally get wealthy these days, who wouldn’t want to be a congressional hopeful?)

“We are going to be gifted with a health care plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, which reportedly covers 10 million more people without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman doesn’t understand it, passed by [a] Congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that is broke.”

And it passed without a single Republican vote. So it’s strictly a Democrat thing. Ah, but their “intentions” were soooo good. They surely get points for that. Just ask any of their acolytes.

  1. 16,000 new IRS agents? Oh boy, the streets of America will be emptying, for people will be afraid to stick their noses out of the house now.

  2. Figuring at least $50,000 a year in salary and benefits for each one, that’s about $800 million they need to raise just to keep their jobs. Before they add a nickel to pay for Obamacare.

    Which goes back to those polls which used to show Obama ahead in the so-called swing states. Those same polls showed a majority hating Obamacare. So it made no sense then and still doesn’t that they would vote for the author.
