As usual, you have written an excellent and insightful article.
But you neglected one salient problem with Obamacare and the laws that would be enacted to implement it, both now and in the future.
The problem, as I see it, is quite simple. Do you trust the government (or Obama for that matter) to do what it (and Obama) have failed to deliver on all the promises that it has already made?
To put it bluntly, don't depend on contracts to make untrustworthy people and institutions instantly trustworthy!
Just my take.

Report Abusive PostWe are finding out how well the latest generation of "the best and brightest" did with buying used cars for many times their worth. Do we really want to trust our bodies to this bunch?

Report Abusive PostMuch is said about the 'death panels' for the elderly.
However, this is only the beginning. There is a much larger problem at the end of the spectrum. Their will be 'death panels' or maybe just one bureaucrat deciding if a baby has a future or not.
In previous writings & speeches by high ranking libs in Congress & influential libs in general have stated the need for 'someone', read bureaucrat, to determine if a baby* is viable.
Depending on who you are listening to the window for this decison varies considerably. For some it is decided at birth, others before the fetus** leave the hospital, others the the baby is not considered human until it gets home, others leave the window upen for 7 to 10 days. The most extreme view allows for the decision to be made at age 10.
I don't know if this is part of Obamacare, but the idea is out there and those that I have heard propose this novel idea are among his most ardent supporters.
* translation for libs: - fetus,
** translation for conservatives: - Baby

Report Abusive PostJohn,
Obama has not defaulted on all his promises. He has honored every promise made to Islamic terrorists (both foreign & domestic), anti-Americans, illegal aliens, & a few others.
He has defaulted on every promise made to middle class tax paying citizens.

Report Abusive PostObamaCare won't address tort reform because the bill is written by and for the benefit of attorneys. We need less federal involvement in health care, not more. Turn it over to the states... let each state develop its own solutions and let's see what works and what doesn't.

Report Abusive PostThe way I see a lot of this is that once this administration is done we get people in Congress to "repeal" everything that needs to be repealed when it needs to be done.

| Repealing is not so easy done. Depending onthe way things are written it may be close to impossible to stop some of the fraud and give away programs that are in place. For sur ethe damage could take generations to undo. Giving zar's 10's of billiions of dollars can build some mighty armies or trouble makers in our society. No one want to look at history and that is why the old saying is there... History repeats itself if we do not learn from it. | ||
