Obamacare Summed up in One Sentence

"Obamacare Summed Up in One Sentence"
From a video posted on YouTube that shows Dr. Barbara Bellar speaking at a Women for Romney/Ryan rally last month:

"So let me get this straight. This is a long sentence.

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 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.

So what the blank could possibly go wrong?"

She's not stumping. She's campaigning for office in Illinois.

And she's right. And you know it. But you can't say what's right. Because politics trumps truth.

Our nation's problem in a nutshell.

1. It actually does have provisions to help increase the number of primary care providers.
2. Its benefits are already taking effect.
3. The personal fitness of individual people is completely irrelevent to whether or not a system is good for a population.

(4. Too bad it doesn't also require people to learn how to write proper sentences.)

3+4. The personal sentence structuring skills of individual people is completely irrelevant to whether or not they have a good point.

Just having some fun.

That's complete drivel. It's a bunch of jabs with no substance, lacking any purpose whatsoever.

The only people who will find that "sentence" interesting/intellectual are those who base their political stances on catch phrases.

The plan itself doesn't add new doctors, because remember, it isn't socialized medicine. The hospitals themselves will be the ones to add new doctors based upon need... Guess what? The market will take care of the additional health care jobs needed. http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/06/28 ... re-ruling/

Ah, what I wouldn't give to be able to wake up one morning, roll over, and see Russia.

I've never really thought Sarah Palin is hot. My political crush is Kirsten Gillibrand.

Do you need to add more doctors though? I mean for example it takes a lot less effort on a doctors part to give someone an exam and prescribe them medication to lower their blood pressure than it does to do an emergency bypass operation (along with all the post-op care) on someone who is having a heart attack. I am not sure how the new US health system works (because if doesn't affect me) but it is pretty simple to see how the more people who have access to preventative medicine, the less money and time you spend dealing with big problems. It is the same way as if you spend $40 and half an hour every 6 months or whatever your manual says getting an oil change, you significantly cut down the odds that your car will need major repairs.

I've never understood why the republicans are so against the mandate portion. I woulda thought that would have come from the left.

Good article, thanks.

The sad truth about this thread... it sums up the politics of America today. We get our information and form political opinions from little tiny biased sound bites, instead of arming ourselves with the truth and facts by looking into the issue.
Journalism has become all but extinct in America and has allowed critical thought to give way to 20 second blurbs on television on a single paragraph on a computer screen.

Because the Fed Govt does not have the powers under the Constitution to require a private citizen to buy a product under penalty of law.

And they still don't- b/c John Roberts permitted it as a tax.

Even though Obama said its not a tax.



And John Roberts is a boob.

i get my information from youtube clips and fox news. Good shit!

You can laugh but it is so serious it scary.

Majority of Americans must be asleep!

Or have become so apathetic they just don’t care anymore.

You couldn’t rewrite/predict history repeating itself any better than what is happening right now.



I DO STILL CARE AND OBAMA IS BAD FOR THIS NATION.

I don’t know why he isn’t charged with treason?



There is rarely a perfect choice in politics but clearly Obama is not the choice to make in 2012!

That's a fair point. I do think we will be able to decrease the need for emergency care, which is fantastic. My main point is that the government is not taking over the job of hiring doctors.

But I don;t want a health care law that costs me more money and allows people to not pay into it if they choose...then it;s just another entitlement program.

Hurry up and find yourself a copy of the Constitution--because you have never read it before--and browse through it and educate us on how the individual mandate is unconstitutional
