Remember the multitude of times we heard this?
Then after passage of that power grab, the cracks began to reveal themselves…
Might have gotten snuck in? Ya think, Barry?
Last week, we received news that Obama’s solicitor general, Neal Kumar Katyal, had the audacity to tell a federal appeals court, as the Washington Examiner reports, “that Americans who didn't like the individual mandate could always avoid it by choosing to earn less money.”
Neal Kumar Katyal, the acting solicitor general, made the argument under questioning before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati, which was considering an appeal by the Thomas More Law Center. The three-judge panel, which was comprised of two Republican-appointed judges and a Democratic-appointed judge, expressed more skepticism about the government's defense of the health care law than the Fourth Circuit panel that heard the Virginia-based Obamacare challenge last month in Richmond. The Fourth Circuit panel was made up entirely of Democrats, and two of the judges were appointed by Obama himself.
Umm, besides the ridiculousness of Katyal’s recommendation, isn’t this a conflict of interest for those Obama-appointed judges?! Just another example of cronyism, through the courts in this instance.
Now, the McKinsey Quarterly published a survey that found, as WSJ reports, “up to 50% of employers say they will definitely or probably pursue alternatives to their current health-insurance plan in the years after the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act takes effect in 2014,” meaning up to 78 million Americans with employer-provided health insurance will be forced to seek other sources of coverage, vis`-a-vis´, Obamacare.
The McKinsey study, "How US health care reform will affect employee benefits," predicts that employers will either drop coverage altogether, offer defined contributions for insurance, or offer coverage only to certain employees. The study concludes that 30% of employers overall will definitely or probably stop offering health insurance to their workers. However, among employers with a high awareness of the health-reform law, this proportion increases to more than 50%.
Is this sinking in, folks? The following should have tipped EVERYONE off before this was past, or before this man was even elected for that matter…
Now this unconstitutional mess is being challenged in court after court, which, while not the appropriate branch that details should have been hashed out, is surprisingly finding some degree of success in dismantling this notion of government-run healthcare. The UK Daily Mail reports, “Three federal judges today indicated they may rule part of President Obama's much-criticised healthcare bill as unconstitutional. The panel in Atlanta repeatedly questioned the legislation's individual mandate, which would require almost every American to carry health insurance - or face penalties. It would be the latest blow to the so-called Obamacare bill, which has been challenged by a group of 26 states along with the National Federation of Independent Business.” These three judges should follow in the footsteps of FL Judge Vinson and invalidate the ENTIRETY of Obamacare! And the next legal obstacle for Obamacare could come in the form of defending all those waivers. As The Daily Caller discovers, “the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) never had the authority to issue waivers from Obamacare’s annual limit requirements.” Uh-oh.
Every single discovery made towards the potential dissemblance of this destructive and intrusive government power grab should be cheered by all who profess to embrace Liberty! God Willing, Freedom shall prevail.
