The pain of Obamacare begins......

.......too bad you'll need to wait three weeks before the Death Panel can decide whether to approve your treatment.

via Michelle Malkin: Obama lied, and my health plan died

Hope you enjoyed your relatively low-cost, good service health-care under our formerly "broken" system. Now, thanks to the wonderful health care for everybody (that will still leave millions uninsured) Obamacare plan you will likely have your rates increase, your health insurance coverage reduced or lost altogether and, just to put a cherry on top, be forced to work two jobs because your employer had to cut everybody to less than 30 hours so he won't be punished by the law.

BTW: This clusterf*ck of an abomination that is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is not a trainwreck by accident. The destruction of the private health insurance industry and the attendant pain and suffering is by design. Obama knew that he couldn't get a single payer system passed, even in a Democrat controlled Congress. The costs would be astronomical and the economic damage in the middle of a recession would have made it a non-starter. But a single payer system is what Obama has always wanted and it is what he was promising his socialist labor union allies. So how do you get to single payer over the bi-partisan political objections in Congress? Well you come up with some happy horsesh!t plan that promises to give everybody health insurance, but is completely unworkable. The fact that the employer fines are less than what those businesses pay for providing health insurance should have tipped everybody off. The PPACA incentivized businesses to either drop health insurance coverage or reduce the number of full-time workers. The PPACA also heaped all sorts of requirements onto health insurance companies so as to ensure that either their rates would have to increase significantly or they would have to drop plan holders. Let's face it; when the government tells a private insurance company that it must provide coverage for those who are already sick it is no longer insurance. That is what you would call welfare.......but it's not welfare because the government isn't even paying for it. I guess you would most accurately describe it as an unconstitutional burden inflicted by the government. The intent here is to make the entire health care experience as negative, painful and expensive as possible to the health care providers, insurance companies, businesses and you, the patient. By design, it is meant to f*ck up the whole system. Obama and his ilk are counting on this. As businesses start to drop health care benefits and insurance costs go through the roof there will be tremendous outrage. They are counting on the low-information-voters to direct that outrage at the insurers and employers. Then, the good little socialists in the Democrat Party will come riding in on their unicorns to save the people from the evil companies that just want to make a profit. And the stupid will cheer and joyously elect Democrats for the rest of eternity.....or until about 2025 when the United States collapses under the financial burden of providing 'free stuff' to idiots who don't know haw the economy works. Enjoy your 'free health care' while you have it.......it won't last long.
