Hey, the Socialists, a group which includes Communists of all stripes, Progressives, Anarchists and in fact all Collectivists have been wetting themselves for more than 100 years trying to institutes a Socialist Health Care System in America.

So, they finally got it...by massive lying about it's 2700 page contents, by bribing Senators and House Members, by polluting the political system and the news information industry in America. That got them a massive defeat at the polls in 2010, a Republican House and 6 new Republican Senators.

One would think this would have been cause for massive celebrations all across America with marching bands, parades and all the hoopla the Socialists could gin up on the 2nd Anniversary of the passage of O'BomberCare.

Instead, there was the silence of the tomb from the Socialists about the 2nd anniversary of the passage of O'BomberCare.

The Signature piece and Centerpiece of legislation for O'Bomber's administration, the very legislation O'Bomber will always be known for getting passed wasn't even talked about. No bands, no White House parties, no parades, no newspaper headlines, no morning to midnight talking heads, panels and Socialist anchors on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC gushing over the O'Bomber success in passing O'BomberCare.

Oh, don't get me wrong. There were people gathered all over America...even in Washington DC on the 2nd anniversary of O'BomberCare. They were not silent, though if anyone was watching the various Socialist News Networks...the ones I've already mentioned...they wouldn't have learned much, if anything about those O'BomberCare marches and speeches.

So, I thought it was funny..so appropriate and in perfect harmony with Sarah Palin's Indomitable will, spirit and intellect that she once again stuck her intellectual knife in O'Bomber's ribs and did so in so few words.

"In “honor” of the second anniversary of President Obama’s health care disaster, Governor Palin posted the following on Facebook, stated as only she can:

Mr. President, you’re conspicuously absent from the 2-year anniversary of your “greatest accomplishment” (described by your VP as “a big f***ing deal”). Where’s the party? Concerned citizens around the country recognized the 2-year anniversary of Obamacare by protesting its attack on religious liberty. Oral arguments on Obamacare start next Monday, March 26, before the Supreme Court. Voting out Obama starts on Nov. 6".

~Sarah Palin

In case you're actually interested in react facts and the actual benefits of the Affordable Care Act instead of bogus claims (Palin really?) see below.

The Washington Post (by Associated Press)
"A brief summary of the 900-page-plus Affordable Care Act, unless noted provisions take effect in 2014:

—Provides coverage to more than 30 million uninsured.

—Expands Medicaid to cover more uninsured low-income people.

—Creates exchanges, state-based health insurance markets, for small businesses and people buying private coverage individually.

—Provides government subsidies for many middle-class people buying private health insurance through an exchange.

—Allows young adults to stay on parents’ coverage until age 26. Already in effect.

—Requires health plans to cover preventive care without charging co-pays. Already in effect.

—Requires most citizens and legal residents to carry health insurance, either through an employer, a government program or by buying a policy directly. IRS will assess fines for noncompliance.

—Requires companies with 50 or more workers to provide coverage, or pay fines if any of their employees ends up getting a health insurance subsidy.

—Raises taxes on upper-income households; imposes a variety of taxes and fees on the health care industry. Places a 10 percent sales tax on indoor tanning. Some taxes already in effect.

—Cuts Medicare payments to hospitals, insurers and other service providers; improves preventive benefits for Medicare recipients and gradually closes prescription drug coverage gap. Limits future increases in Medicare spending. Some Medicare provisions already in effect.

—Significantly increases federal regulation of the health insurance industry. Already in effect.

—Congressional Budget Office estimates coverage expansion will have a net cost of $1.1 trillion from 2012-2021. Spending cuts and tax increases are currently projected to offset the cost, for a modest reduction in federal budget deficits." http://www.washingtonpost.com/bu siness/economy/a-brief-look-at-what-the-affordable-care-act-is-designed-to-do/2012/03/26/gIQAGzJQbS_story.html

Sidenote: Socialists aren't Progressives, Progressives aren't Communists and anyone calling for change isn't a terrorist trying to destroy America.

You forgot one: Creates 150 new government agencies. How fitting that another illegal body (the IRS) should enforce it. But all anyone has to do is claim religious opposition and be exempt. Fail. Epic fail. Let's hope the Supreme Court puts an end to this insanity.

Currently, the parts of Obamacare enacted has already raised insurance premiums 1-14%

Imagine the premiums IF the rest of the package is passed???

And how is this is a benefit to the average American again??

The problem is that the Supreme Court has insidiously been invaded by people the likes of Ruth Bader Ginsberg who is a disgrace and that other one Elena Kagel. Makes me embarrassed as a Jew

Yeah NJ and you forgot something else.

O'BomberCare takes about $550 Billion...more than half a TRILLION DOLLARS...out of Medicare which senior citizens have paid into all or most of their adult working lives.

This will surely cause rationing of health care services for those who have paid for medical services...and they paid all through their lives and they paid in advance through an involuntary tax on their earnings and a tax on their employers.

Your arguments lack common sense. If you want a Socialist health care system, move to Canada, move to France, move to Britain but get the hell out of the United States. The vast majority of Americans do not want O'BomberCare and never did...in spite of all the lying by O'Bomber, by his Socialist pals in congress and the lying, drooling O'Bomber press, Americans do not want O'BomberCare, do not want the mandates forcing them to engage in commerce and want O'BomberCare repealed in it's entirety. Not fixed but REPEALED.

Sarah Palin was right about O'BomberCare, right about "death panels" and she's right about why O'Bomber and his drooling Kool-Aid drinkers and O'Bomber's Mushrooms were not having parades and parties on the 2nd anniversary of the passage of the worst piece of legislation ever passed in the United States. The reason is simple. The American people do not want O'BomberCare and the O'Bomber crew didn't want to call any attention to O'BomberCare and p!ss off Americans even more than they already are... before the November elections

Jwhop, Americans can speak for themselves. I know it's a compulsion to speak for them however we speak just fine without any outside assistance.

Lets let the courts do the talking, while single handedly putting a lid over the GOP's continued Anti - Obama shenanigans. Then in November will let the population do what they did four years ago, knock the socks off of every baby booming GOP loving conservative in America by reelecting Obama.

Apathetic Millennial generation vs. baby booming GOP loving conservative

Is that basically what you`re saying NJ?

It sounds completely divisive vs open minded.

then it`s fair to say let the apathetic Millennial generation speak for themselves!

Juniperb, you're attempting to take my opinion in regards to the apathy of the millenials out of context by contrasting it with my above statement about Baby booming conservatives. My discussions about millenials have no place in this discussion, that's a completely different thread all together. What you've stated and are attempting to correlate are your words not mine.

I don't claim to speak on behalf of this entire nation. Which Jwhop so enthusiastically does. I'll speak for a segment of the population that I'm apart of as an opinionated representative. I'm entitled to that as much as Jwhop is in speaking of behalf of his generational demographic. However he rarely does that, he spends most of his time on GU trying to speak for this entire nation. But this is off topic and I don't want to get into that inane argument once again with someone who isn't Jwhop, no offense. It's Jwhop's prerogative to do whatever he pleases. Why not let him defend himself, we all know Jwhop doesn't need anyone to do that for him.

Are you not a millenial? If so, then do "millenials" belong in this thread?
And to that , it has nothing to do with seperate threads but a continuum of your thought process.

Your other thread aside, I agree millenials are apathetic so my opinion does not matter?

Defend jwhop? Really NJ?

Seriously, you can do better than that!

And yes, you are an opinionated rep of the group and I was curious who voted you rep of that entire group?

No one voted jwhop one either.

I've no doubt it will be repealed. It's only Constitutional if an Amendment is created.

Yes, Juniperb, my assessment of you defending Jwhop still stands. I know amusing right? I've got quite an imagination.

And yes I am one of the many Millenials, however this thread isn't about my generation it's about the Affordable Care Act otherwise known by it's slandered name thanks to the Gop: Obamacare. And as you noted being a Millenial might be a part of my thought process however I didn't personally reiterate anything related to Millenials on this thread you did in an attempt to discredit my arguments against Jwhop. But by all means.

Like I've stated above as far as this repeal goes, we'll just let the courts do what they do best and have the last word in this health care debate.

I do not know if you have a imagination or not. I do know you are not thinking outside the box.

I am not defending jwhop. I am defending his right to speak for the baby booming gop loving conservatives.

By the same token I would defend your right to speak for the millenenials.

But you speak out of both sides of your mouth by chastising jw for speaking for Americans when you do the very same thing... just for a different targeted group.


Again, your thought continuum is comming from your posts that gave us your ideals and party preference and yes, it will play into every stand you take. Simply like jwhops
preferences and ideals do.

Yes, I agree.

Polls are showing most Americans are against it. Are any judges up for reelection yet ?

Juniperb, say what you want, think however you choose, but I'm gracefully walking away from this inane discussion especially considering it's between myself and Jwhop. I stated before that yes my statements about my generation are generalized however I don't speak for this ENTIRE NATION! Just in unison with the shared thoughts of my colleagues and generational peers. That's my point. You're trying to pin this as a Freudian slip but it's not. I'm aware of what I'm stating in regards to myself and my discussion with Jwhop.

I don't care what other people write on other threads especially if it has no purpose on the thread I'm currently posting on. I can't hold someone accountable for the things they've said on other threads, I could be misinterpreting their statements and they could have changed their points of view. I'm not going to argue about things I've discussed on other threads because they don't pertain to this thread regardless of whomever chooses to believe that they do. If they are my words and I haven't stated them on this thread, then they can and will be taken out of context therefore unless I've stated it on this thread, claims brought against my own words have no place outside of the context in which they were written in. I'm opting out of discussing them and stay on the TOPIC of this thread.

I just don't understand why YOU are so concerned with what I've said on other threads. They don't pertain to this one and aren't a valid argument for trying to school me on how I formulate premises in regards to Jwhop. I haven't spoken about the Affordable Care Act on other threads and unless I have any other opinions I've voiced outside of this thread have no place in regards to this threads contents.

I'm guessing I pinched a nerve. Ah well, just another day on GU.

In regards to a private conversation with jwhop, you`re on a public forum where every opinion / voice matters.

what state are you in EO? california is fabulous in this respect...my grandson has a blood disorder that would have cost us thousands and denied him coverage on many insurance policies especially before this di-act, but medi-cal covers him for ALL "conventional" medical events...and there is also a next-step up program for people too "well-off" for that, incredible coverage for very little money.

so i don't know about the "pre-existing condition" aspect of obamacare(if it is in place already? i don't do doctors personally!), but it should help your child?

i have run into the syndrome of state employees and insurance companies not informing people properly what they are entitled to, i wonder if that is a factor in your situation. also most "alternative" healing methods are not included on medicaid type programs..

Hi Katatonic!

I live in New Hampshire..
The reason for the denials,
is that they use old information
instead of current information
on purpose..
for that makes no Sense..

you have to jump through hoops
of fire
to get anything..

it's very dis ening...

Following this pretty closely. Obama's Solicitor General was terrible yesterday. He was a terrible person to put in charge of the government's stance.
