Obamacare's cost of control

Minus a literal handful of conservatives in Washington, this is why all Democrats and most Republicans won't stop Obamacare...it's as obvious as the nose on your face: CONTROL.
Breitbart: There is a strong push currently being made by advocates of Obamacare to convince Americans it is the best thing that has ever happened to this country. Even celebrities are being trotted out by the White House to tell us how lucky we are to be forced into a system that is both built on promises that were never intended to be kept, and one that is ethically and morally bankrupt that they, members of Congress and other cronies of the elite will never have to use.

The truth about Obamacare that no one will tell you is it is NOT about healthcare, it is about centralized government control:
1. It is about control of 1/6 of the economy.
2. It is about control of physicians.
3. It is about control of your private health information.
4. It is about control of your money.
- Employers will no longer be able to write off the expense for coverage for their employees as a business expense, making them more likely to drop coverage.
- Employees cannot write off payment of health insurance premiums.
- The threshold for writing off personal health expenses has jumped to almost 10,000 out of pocket.
- Those with a health savings account (HSA) cannot use their money to purchase cost effective over the counter medication or nutritional supplements--only more expensive prescription medication.
- Out of pocket expenses for the Obamacare "silver" plan will cost the monthly premium, plus the individual would have to pay $2500 out of pocket before the insurance would kick in. Imagine someone working for minimum wage or a family having to pay into the system, and then paying an additional $2500 dollars every year just to access the system. It will lead to a decrease in access because the individual won't be able to afford it because entering the exchange will only help pay the premium.
5. It is about control of your freedom to live your life as you choose.
Obamacare is a corrupt scheme that has fooled Americans into entering a system that will limit their health care choices, encroach upon their freedom, rob them of their hard earned money, and destroy their privacy.
Folks, can't help feeling that this should be a 'torches and pitchforks' moment on the Hill...if we'd just put down the remote.
