November, 2014 The Unfolding Disaster That Is Obama Care: Using Americans' Stupidity To Pass Legislation

We have spent the past four days reviewing the unfolding disaster that is Obama Care. We have been doing this series on a regular monthly basis since August, 2013 and never seem to run out of bad news to report. Whether it is cancelling the current and preferred insurance policies of millions of Americans, cutting of Americans from their preferred doctors, hospitals, and medicines, adding over a trillion dollars to the national debt, forcing doctors out of the profession into retirement or different careers, exposing millions of Americans to identity theft thieves, increasing health insurance premiums and deductibles, throttling the economy, increasing existing taxes and introducing new taxes, and a myriad of other disasters, this is one piece of Washington legislation that keeps on giving. And none of its presents are ever any good.

To review past discussions of previous Obama Care disasters, just type the phrase, "the unfolding disaster that is Obama Care,” into the search box above.

I had thought that yesterday’s post would be the last update for this month. However, since that last post was written, I came across a very distressing piece of video tape that kind of summarizes the bad vibes and heinous intentions of those behind Obama Care. 

The video tape is from some sort of panel discussion on Obama care and it focuses on Jonathon Gruber. Mr. Gruber is apparently an MIT economics professor and one of the primary writers of the legislation. Look at the video tape at the following link and then see if you agree with my conclusions and outrage below:

The Heritage Foundation summed up the video quite nicely:

In a newly surfaced video, one of Obamacare’s architects admits a “lack of transparency” helped the Obama administration and congressional Democrats pass the Affordable Care Act. The conservative group American Commitment posted Jonathan Gruber’s remarks, reportedly from an Oct. 17, 2013, event, on YouTube.

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” says the MIT economist who helped write Obamacare. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”

So let’s review:

• The Obama administration was deliberately non-transparent to get its way with the American people.
• The Obama administration intentionally lied to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in order to get a favorable rating from the analysts in the CBO.
• The Obama administration intentionally lied to the American people to hide the fact that healthy people were going to subsidize the medical and insurance care of unhealthy people.
• The Obama administration used the lack of transparency as a political advantage.
• The Obama administration basically called the American people too stupid to understand what the Obama Care legislation was going to do to them.

And in the end, Mr. Gruber finds that lying, hiding behind a veil of non-transparency and thinking so low of Americans that he felt their stupidity (his words) could be leveraged in order to get a bad piece of legislation passed, so unlike spirit of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and other properly legislated laws, that this was a better option than getting no law done, no matter how insipid and awful Obama Care turned out to be.

Words cannot express my outrage and disgust with Mr. Gruber and the entire Obama administration in this matter and their attitudes. Given how poorly the law has turned out to be, I think that possibly Mr. Gruber and the rest of the Obama administration need to consider who the stupid people were in this whole disgusting affair.

For this video tape alone the entire legislation needs to be repealed. It was done under false pretenses that are an insult to our intelligence and our democracy. Besides being unworkable and doomed to failure.

Before closing today, let’s look at another quote relative to Obama Care that was made a four years ago by Donald Trump. Given the unfolding disaster that is Obama Care, you decide who had a better feel and attitude of what was going to happen:

Let me get this straight . . .We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a 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'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's already broke!!!!!‌

'What could possibly go wrong?

Who is the stupid one now? The writers like Gruber who never foresaw how bad the legislation would turn out to be or Trump, who nailed the outcome four years ago? More Obama Care disasters next month.
