OBAMACARE REDUX: "WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING THIS TO ME?"

With more and more Americans being negatively affected by the Byzantine provisions of ObamaCare, the plaintive cry of "Why is the government doing this to me?" is likely to be heard from more and more individuals who are experiencing pain and, sometimes, even the possibility of death.  But don't expect the mainstream media to devote much coverage to the ObamaCare horror stories that are daily becoming more numerous.  After all, the left-wing media invested as much effort as the left-wing political establishment in getting this monstrosity imposed on the American people.

Millions more of Americans are destined to lose their health insurance.  The number, which is already significant, will go higher  and higher in 2014.  The only rainbow on the horizon as a result of this travesty is the hope that the electorate will rise up in record numbers for an off-year election to take revenge on the leftists who enacted the worst piece of legislation to come out of Washington in my lifetime.

We are just now seeing the tip of the iceberg in terms of the economic consequences of ObamaCare.  The cost of health insurance is going up, up and up.  At the same time, skyrocketing deductibles will cinch the general impression that government-inspired health care is a terrible burden to be borne.  And it must also be admitted that ObamaCare is coming at the worst time economically, because the unpredictability of its effects will cause employers to move cautiously in adding full-time workers.

Lately, I have had to rely on the professionalism of three outstanding young physicians, none of whom was enthusiastic about prospects, given the vagaries of ObamaCare.  These young men, who have invested untold amounts of capital and time to be at the top of their game, no longer see themselves practicing for as long as they had imagined.  This, unfortunately, will be a trend that eventually will cause rationing of health care services.   It is undeniable that ObamaCare will serve as an impetus to severe doctor shortages, and all of us will suffer the consequences.

The failures of ObamaCare will likely generate billions of additional tax raises.  The scheme is not going to generate the funds originally budgeted, and the leftists will view the only solution to be boosting taxes.  And, with more capital leaving the private sector in the form of taxes, less will be available to create jobs and boost the economy.  And, as businesses get hit with more government taxes, guess who is going to pay?  The answer is more than obvious.  You and I will be paying in the form of increased prices  for consumer goods.  And this, dear readers, is what is called inflation.

To enforce ObamaCare, it is not just going to take the IRS.  Expect more government and more bureaucrats.  And with more bureaucracy, expect more onerous regulations and a maze of rules demanding more and more time to obtain coverage and access to any medical care at all.  I recall just three short years ago when so much ridicule was dished out to those who warned of "death panels," which would decide who received medical care and who didn't.  Wake up, America:  There are death panels in Ontario, and the friendly people who have brought you ObamaCare have included just the sort of verbiage in the act that will eventually sanction death panels.

Finally, are you concerned about our ever-growing deficit?  ObamaCare will likely add 7 trillions more of debt, to add on to the 17 trillion that already prevails.  Can you imagine what this will do to generations of yet-to-be-born Americans?  In all honesty, Sarah Palin was correct when she opined that our growing national debt will condemn future generations to a form of mass slavery.

Combined with all the lies that have surrounded this Frankenstein creation of a law, more disasters are in the making.  We cannot afford to let up in our opposition to ObamaCare.  The freedoms and liberties for which our forbears fought are now imperiled.  Vote in 2014 as never before.  The fate of our nation is hanging in the balance.  Just say no to ObamaCare and the socialist maelstrom from which it has been inflicted upon us,

Deo Vindice!

God bless Texas, and may the Lone Star State remain forever red!
