It isn't every day when more then
half of the Democrats in the Senate will admit they were wrong and vote
to repeal part of President Barack Obama's health care law. This is what
happened on 22 Sep 13 when the Senate voted 79-20 to repeal a 2.3 percent sales
tax on medical devices. A total of 33 out of 53 Democrats joined all 45
Republicans in voting for the repeal this amendment which was bipartisan with Sens.
Orrin Hatch, R-Utah and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn sponsoring it. Four out of seven
members of the Democratic leadership voted for it. The White House says “not so
fast”, "Last night's purely symbolic vote has no bearing on the future of
the Affordable Care Act and its implementation," said spokesman Brad
Carroll. The administration says the industry will benefit from millions of new
customers and it should pay. These companies’ customers already have insurance
covering these items and this will only make the patient get hit with higher
cost, an effect caused by Obama's law. The companies started paying the tax
Jan. 1, and this will lead to lay-offs and put a damper on investment. Outside
economists expect the industry will be able to pass on most of the tax increase
to customers so the customer will get slammed with even more cost because of
this law. The Manhattan Institute analyzed rates around the country and found men’s
cost will rise 99 percent and 55 percent for women. Worse yet Analysts expect
lowest plan deductibles (Bronze Plan) to be between $5,000 to $6,000 with an out
of pocket costs on top of the deductibles in some cases around $5,500"; Forbes says it will be around $7,450 per family of 4 on average per year. The end game for these leftist and Obamacare supporters is socialized medicine for the nation. They will take the best health care system in the world and turn into a third world country medical system...that is unless you have many, then you can afford the best doctors.
The unpopular Obamacare
law passed in 2010 and has never been very popular; a new Washington
Post-ABC News poll finds once loyal Democrats has been steadily turning
against Obamacare. Over all 78% of leftist Democrats support the law while 46%
of moderate Democrats support Obamacare; the public shows only 42% support the
law. If the Democrats were listening to their people and their people’s wishes 58%
would be voting against Obamacare to match their people wishes would have only
42% voting for it instead of the 78% of liberal/leftist; they are doing whatever
they want because they know better then you what’s best for you. They also
believe the IRS should be tracking everything yet the IRS just failed to
account for $67
Million in Obamacare cost; do you really want them tracking everything? A poll
of Democrats just conducted for IBD
by TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence found that only 22% said they wanted
the justices to uphold the entire law, while 37% said strike down the whole
thing and 30% said to strike down only the law’s individual mandate to buy
health insurance. Another 10% were unsure. What does this tell you? Its easy,
22% agree with it with 10% not sure; that leaves 68% want it struck down or
changed and this is just Democrats. When the public as a whole was surveyed, 70%
thought healthcare will be worse under Obamacare. The Democrats, or at lease
the liberal ones are ignoring the wishes of their constituents which are the
ones they are accountable to and the same for the Republicans.
So what have we seen? Well the people of the US,
both Democrats and Republicans do not like this bill and as politicians do, We
the People were ignored. All the Democrats pretty much voted to fund Obamacare
funding, many being forced by the Democratic leadership which believe they are
more important then you. An example is Sen. Joe Manchin. Sen. Joe Manchin,
D-W.Va., a moderate Democrat, said Thursday that he'd support a spending bill
that also delays the law's requirement on individuals to buy health
insurance. "There's no way I could not vote for it," Manchin said.
"It's very reasonable and sensible." The comment, first reported
by Bloomberg, was later confirmed but hours later, the senator said
that while he opposes the individual mandate, "I do not believe that
this issue should be used to shut down the government, and I will not vote to
shut down the government.” He was going to do the right thing but apparently there
are people in his own party ready to take down anyone who disagrees with President
Obama, Reid, or Pelosi. On the Republican side you had 25 of the Republican
leadership which believe they are more important then you as well. My Senator
was one of them and I sent him a letter telling him about my many years of
support for him but now it is gone; I will vote for a good Independent or maybe
a Democrat but he will never get my vote again. If it comes down to two people
I just can support, I just won’t vote for a senator. It is pretty bad when your
political choice at the poll is between the lesser of two evils. The
politicians work for us and I suggest you do the same and vote your people,
Democrat or Republican, out of office because they are ignoring the peoples
will. If this is such a good system then why did all congress opt out of it? If you are a Republican and wanted to know who the 25 senators who betrayed you and your party, they are listed below.
