2+2+2=6 No matter the sequence the sum is the same. My point is that numbers don’t lie only politicians do. It seems as Obamacare continues in existence the problems associated with the program continue to mount. The answer, in my opinion, is repeal! Obamacare is being forced upon us unconstitutionally and the number of outraged Americans is on the rise. Nothing is free! Once again the politicians of our nation have placed the burden of a government program on the backs of the middleclass. We have been lied to, being told that those with existing health insurance coverage would have nothing change. It has! Now more and more hard working Americans are finding that their low cost insurance has become high dollar insurance with deductibles as much as quadrupling in rate.
We all know the problems with Obamacare as we can read about it in our daily news. What is bothering me today are games that the politicians are beginning to play. Democratic and Republican alike have always played games with the issues at hand and at the expense of the American people. Now with all of the Obamacare problems and many midterm elections coming up it seems that politicians are jockeying for position. Now, all of a sudden, they are questioning or beginning to redirect their stance on Obamacare. They are searching out means of manipulation to cover their track so that in the end they look rosy. Enough already! We know that you are shysters, crooks, and scoundrels only caring about what is in your own best interest. We understand clearly that every move you make is to further your career or to line your pockets. It is also sad to say that the people you are paid to represent are the same people you always manipulate, use, and abuse. Though I chastise you for your criminal acts against the American people I do realize that the problem is in our hands. For it is through or lack of initiative, willingness to educate ourselves, and stand against your tyranny that has allow you to prevail. I ask you, for once in your political career, to stand tall for the people of this great nation, own the problem that has been forced upon us (Obamacare), take pride in doing the job that you were elected to, and abolish the ACA. I am amazed that day after day more and more articles are written slamming the unconstitutional ACA (Obamacare) when only a short time ago these papers and magazines were praising the ACA and using their power to push the act upon the American people. It seems that the program was doomed from the beginning, from concept to implementation.
Sure we would like to see all Americans receive quality health care but at what cost. People of this nation that has struggled to pay premiums with insurance companies are loosing their coverage, having been lied to about this issue, and are being forced into the system or finding that their premiums and deductibles are substantially increased. Now it has been made clear to all of us that the programming for the system is flawed. Our government officials tell us everything is hunky-dory when in fact we are subject to corrupted information gathering, potential identity theft, premium calculators that quote premiums much lower than the true premium will be, and we are asked to put our faith in this system. I say “hell no!” Now the finger pointing has started within the system itself. Blame is being shifted from the programming contractors to the Whitehouse and back again. We are informed yesterday that the ACA program should have had 6 years of development and testing yet it was forced through knowing that it had problems and with only a number of weeks of testing. Why would one push a virtually untested system upon us placing the American people at risk? Agendas my friends, plain and simple, that is why. Once again our government has pressed upon us, with disregard for our well being, its goal to fulfill an agenda. I don’t ask that you agree with or accept my opinion. I only ask that you use your ability to think. This is about all of us and take a bit of time to research, to put two and two together, you will reach your own conclusion. I say we should all stand for repeal of the ACA now! Limit the damage and move on! Avik Roy, Contributor
For people who have been following the story closely, it’s been clear for months that Obamacare’s exchanges were not ready to go live on October 1, and that their implementation needed to be delayed. The Obama administration insisted otherwise, claiming that everything was hunky-dory, and that reports to the contrary were simply the work of partisan saboteurs. But earlier this week, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius admitted the truth. “We didn’t have enough testing…for a very complicated project,” she conceded to the Wall Street Journal. The exchanges needed five years of construction and one year of testing, and instead had only “two years [of construction] and almost no testing.” That leaves us with an obvious question: Why, then, did Sebelius insist on rolling out the exchanges four years ahead of time? Please read the entire article at: http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2013/10/23/now-she-tells-us-sebelius-says-obamacares-exchange-website-needed-six-years-of-development-instead-of-two/?partner=yahootix The lies continue to unfold since the enactment of Obamacare. These lies are taking a toll on families across our nation. Yesterday articles were published stating that Florida Blue would be canceling 300,000 of it’s policies here in Florida. Though Florida Blue offers to provide recommendations on Obamacare plans that may meet the needs of these policy holders I am sure this brings little comfort to them.
We were told lies time and again, being assured that we could keep our existing insurance policies and we would be able to continue using the same doctors. For those of us with existing health insurance policies life would continue as usual. You and I both know that this is manure and merely twisted misleading words of comfort that most of the public bought into. Each evening we watch the news only to hear how the Obamacare system is filled with glitches and its difficulty of use. We hear that our information is being distorted or corrupted and that those fortunate enough to make it through the system remain unsure if they are even insured. Speculations are made on the security of our valued personal information as we are made aware of the threat of identity theft. Yesterday our local Sheriff’s Office posted, on a social media site, warnings of Obamacare Scams and how to protect ones self from these scams. It seems to me that the implementation of Obamacare has only created unrest and fear in the American public. Those that had health insurance are loosing it. Those that want health insurance can’t get it. Those that make it through the system are confronted with corrupted information and identity theft. The public remains confused on their options and afraid of the unconstitutional fines that they will receive if they can’t get through the non-functioning system. It is unconstitutional to force the people of this nation to purchase a product and to punish them if they choose not to buy this product. Where is the good in any of this? P.S. In the future when the government mandates that odd numbered houses must purchase Chevrolets and even numbered houses must purchase Fords you can think back to the time when you said nothing allowing the government to dictate your spending and forever changing the American way of life. Think when you allowed Liberty to be removed from the U.S. Constitution!

**SCAM ALERT** With the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA) underway, agencies around the country are receiving numerous reports of identity theft when scammers solicit personal information under the guise of helping those victims sign up for the new program. Although investigators have not seen this in Jacksonville, we anticipate this to be a problem and want to warn people so they do not fall for this scam. Scammers are using the ACA as a way to fool victims into sharing their personal information. How the Scam Works: You receive a call from someone claiming to be from the federal government. The caller informs you that you've been selected to receive insurance cards through the new Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"). However, before he/she can mail your card, the caller needs to collect personal information. Scammers do a lot to make their requests seem credible. For example, they may have your bank's routing number and ask you to provide your account number. They may ask for your credit card or Social Security number, Medicare ID, or other personal information. Sharing personal information with a scammer puts you at risk for identity theft. Scammers can use the information they obtain to open credit cards in your name or steal from your bank account. How to Spot a Scam and Protect Yourself: Con artists are taking advantage of the confusion and buzz surrounding the Affordable Care Act implementation. Here's what you can do to protect yourself: •Hang up, don't press any buttons and, if you received a voice mail message, don't call the scammer back. We all like to have the last word, but returning the phone call may just give the con artist information he can use. •The government typically doesn't call, text or email. Government agencies normally communicate through the mail, so be very cautious of any unsolicited calls, text messages or emails you receive. Also, if the government is contacting you, they should already have your basic personal info, such as your Social Security number. •Don't trust Caller ID. Scammers have technology that lets them display any number or organization name on your screen. •There is only one place to shop for a qualified health plan:www.HealthCare.gov, which is run by the FTC's Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Who is Being Targeted? Anyone can be the victim of this scam, but some groups are more likely to be targeted than others. The new law has special provisions for the following groups: •People 65 years or older •Persons with disabilities •Owners of small businesses I came across this letter this evening and thought that I would share.
Jamie Heistand Well, I just wanted to let all of my friends know that after last night’s events. I have come to the conclusion, that I will be taking a stand. I will not be signing up for obamacare. I am not even going on the site to get a user name. My wife and I have discussed it and we have decided that we are willing to except the consequences for not having it, nor will we pay the fines. As most of you know, we love our home and everything we have bled and sweated for, but we have decided that we love our God, constitution, freedom and liberty more. They say that the government will take it out of your taxes first. Then they will levee your bank accounts. After one year they will revoke your driver’s license. On the second year they will put tax liens against your house. You all know that I have become a very proud father, husband, business owner and American. I am willing to risk it all in making a stand against this illegal and unconstitutional law that I cannot afford. For a family of four, the price through an exchange is around nine hundred dollars a month. That is more than my house payment. The deductible is thirteen thousand a year and the fine for not paying it is about thirteen thousand, if you opt out. How can this possibly be considered or named the "Affordable Healthcare Act"? The other large factor in me making this decision is the fact that the people who made this law, are exempt from the law and they chose which businesses and religions to exempt. This is wrong and I will not sit down and just take it. If I become an outlaw, homeless and an ex business owner because of my stand, then so be it. I will not tolerate things like this being rammed down my throat every time I open my mouth to speak. If we keep allowing things like this to happen, then what comes next for our children? If there is going to be a fight, then let it be with me and let my girls live in peace. For all of you who would like to do the same thing, but are afraid that the NSA is listening, I say so what, I hope they are, because I am sure that I am not the only one writing a letter like this. I would like it if more people would take a stand with me, but I am willing to go it alone. I will say this, if anyone does decide to do the same as I, and there is any enforcement carried out against that person, I will be standing right beside them, saying if you’re taking them, you’re taking me too. A lot of you are probably thinking that I am crazy right now for coming out and publicly stating this. The reason that I am doing this is because I will never bow down or be silenced by a bully. I am a FREE AMERICAN and it's about time I start acting like one! If we don't stand now, we lose everything, this is not about healthcare, it's about government control. I have said my piece and would like to hear who will stand with me. Please share this with as many people as possible, there IS strength in numbers and we outnumber them at least a thousand to one. Again please share this so I don't have to go it alone. Thank you. P.S. Allen West Rand Paul Rand Paul Review Ted Cruz please share this with all of your followers. Dear Mr. President,
Over the past few weeks my wife and I have been researching new cars. Both of our vehicles have been paid off for a few years and we are worried that the potential for problems is getting close. We have worked hard all of our lives, raised three wonderful and productive children, paid our bills and taxes on time, and still managed to put some savings aside along the way. Knowing what it has taken to reach this point in our lives we have been a bit reluctant to take on a new car payment. Today we received a package from Blue Cross, our group insurance carrier, informing us of the cost changes that would take place upon our policy’s renewal. I just wanted to let you know that I am no longer worried about trading in one of my vehicles and taking on a new payment. The increase in my non-obamacare insurance policy will have an increased of more than half of the monthly payment of a new luxury vehicle. Neither my wife nor I have had changes in our health over the past year so I can only assume that my increase in coverage cost is to help cover the cost of your new Obamacare policies offered to the public. So, it seems, my dollars that I would have spent on a new vehicle, stimulating the economy, are now going to cover cost of your new Affordable Healthcare Act. I might also add that if you continually enable people by providing for them with no effort required on their part I see no reason why they should try to rise up, to take pride in themselves and there actions, or work toward bettering themselves. You seem to be making it easy for people to sit on the couch, collect a check, and live off of the sweat of those doing the right thing. Not everyone can make the team, not everyone deserves a trophy, and if we do not understand these struggles then we will never rise above them. If things are handed too us, then why strive for more? Sure there are those that could use a helping hand but if you would open your eyes you would see there are far too many that could do for themselves. So now with the worry of a new car payment removed I guess I can focus on setting aside more funds to cover the cost of your Obamacare program. You see I understand that once you have your hand in my pocket you will always ask for more. Sincerely, Bobby Rawls P.S. Those with eyes and that are free thinkers understand this is part of the governments goal of control of the masses. Fascism is unacceptable and unconstitutional! |
