I will not pay, to" Kill the Unborn". Obama is a killer of and entire generation. The only man to ever vote agaianst the "Born Alive Infant Protection Act". 2001. This thing America put in the White House, will destroy Human Life, and call it a CHOICE? "A Child is a BURDEN on a young girl"! This is justifcation for killing that unborn child? America, you are SHEEP

Obamacare is even worse than critics thought
Examiner Editorial, September 22, 2010

Six months ago, President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rammed Obamacare down the throats of an unwilling American public. Half a year removed from the unprecedented legislative chicanery and backroom dealing that characterized the bill's passage, we know much more about the bill than we did then. A few of the revelations:

* Obamacare won't decrease health care costs for the government. According to Medicare's actuary, it will increase costs. The same is likely to happen for privately funded health care.

* As written, Obamacare covers elective abortions, contrary to Obama's promise that it wouldn't. This means that tax dollars will be used to pay for a procedure millions of Americans across the political spectrum view as immoral. Supposedly, the Department of Health and Human Services will bar abortion coverage with new regulations but these will likely be tied up for years in litigation, and in the end may not survive the court challenge.

* Obamacare won't allow employees or most small businesses to keep the coverage they have and like. By Obama's estimates, as many as 69 percent of employees, 80 percent of small businesses, and 64 percent of large businesses will be forced to change coverage, probably to more expensive plans.

* Obamacare will increase insurance premiums -- in some places, it already has. Insurers, suddenly forced to cover clients' children until age 26, have little choice but to raise premiums, and they attribute to Obamacare's mandates a 1 to 9 percent increase. Obama's only method of preventing massive rate increases so far has been to threaten insurers.

* Obamacare will force seasonal employers -- especially the ski and amusement park industries -- to pay huge fines, cut hours, or lay off employees.

* Obamacare forces states to guarantee not only payment but also treatment for indigent Medicaid patients. With many doctors now refusing to take Medicaid (because they lose money doing so), cash-strapped states could be sued and ordered to increase reimbursement rates beyond their means.

* Obamacare imposes a huge nonmedical tax compliance burden on small business. It will require them to mail IRS 1099 tax forms to every vendor from whom they make purchases of more than $600 in a year, with duplicate forms going to the Internal Revenue Service. Like so much else in the 2,500-page bill, our senators and representatives were apparently unaware of this when they passed the measure.

* Obamacare allows the IRS to confiscate part or all of your tax refund if you do not purchase a qualified insurance plan. The bill funds 16,000 new IRS agents to make sure Americans stay in line.

If you wonder why so many American voters are angry, and no longer give Obama the benefit of the doubt on a variety of issues, you need look no further than Obamacare, whose birthday gift to America might just be a GOP congressional majority.

We fully understand it. That is why we hate it. For starters, adding 35 million without adding Doctors is a bit alarming to those of us who believe basic common sense trumps "feeling good" about policy.

We don't like it because it's CRAP. It sold out Americans to the insurance companies, did nothing to cut costs or actually REFORM anything, and if Republicans actually have the stones to repeal it, I'll cheer.

We NEED a single-payer system, the easiest version of which would be extending Medicare to everyone. The fake, half-baked Dem reform was a JOKE.

There's no way Obama could've "sold" this monstrosity" to the American people... in fact, it was intentionally rammed through, precisely because it was unsellable.

It's beyond belief that the President and both houses, the vast majority of whom are lawyers (who wouldn't buy a car without combing the contract's fine print) would pass this 2,000+ page, power grab legislation, without even reading it.

How does anyone "sell" something like this mess?

Probably because he hasn't done anything remotely like that, idiot.
