OBAMACARE…THE DEBACLE...


Yup, this thing referred to as Obamacare has already been such a resounding success, on just about every level, that Barry "Almighty" has already signed 14 laws that amend, rescind or otherwise change parts of his signature healthcare reform law. Also, he’s apparently felt the need to take no less than five independent steps to delay the so-called Affordable Care Act on his own. That information comes to us courtesy of a new report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS) that was released on Wednesday.

The release of this report comes as many, but rumor has it nowhere near all, congressional Republicans are said to be pushing for a halt or outright repeal of the whole law, as Barry and his allies continue to decry that as being nothing but a waste of time and an effort to undermine Barry's signature political achievement. CRS, in the report to Sen. Tom Coburn, said all sides have already agreed to 14 laws that changed parts of Obamacare, though they were usually minor changes or clarifications.

The ink from Barry’s signature on this disastrous piece of Democrat inspired legislation was barely dry when, just a month later, Congress made the first change, specifying eligibility for veterans who are part of TRICARE. The point was to make sure the law recognized that coverage as meeting the individual mandate. And over the course of the last two years since this debacle was brought into being, Congress regularly tweaked those kinds of eligibility requirements. But it's still no better than it was when it was 'passed'.

But CRS said Barry and Congress also made some bigger changes, including repealing what all sides agreed to be a burdensome income reporting tax on small businesses, repeatedly dipping into provisions of Obamacare to use money for other spending. Those cuts included $6.25 billion from Prevention and Public Health and recapturing some of the money that was expected to be overpaid in subsidies to users of the health exchanges. And has Barry has been prone to do, he has acted on his own, declaring five separate delays this year.

And yet, despite all of the evidence that this thing remains completely unworkable, and will for the forseeable future, we still have Democrats out there who continue to claim that once Americans know more about it, they'll come to love it. That's just not the case. And what's even worse, is that we now have Republicans in Congress, who simply refuse to put forth the necessary effort to bring it to and end. That, even though, it is even less popular today that it was when it was first signed into law by Barry "Almighty."

So with out our being able to get any help from our members of Congress, we will have little hope of avoiding this blatant sabatoging of what was up until now, the best healthcare system in the world. In many respects, under the 'leadership' of Barry "Almighty" America has now been reduced to what is essentiually nothing more than a Third World country. And now, because of Obamacare, we will soon have a healthcare system that is commensurate with our new status. And both parties can be blamed for that being the case.
