"Obama lobbied by phone from the White House, then took the crucial step of issuing an executive order that satisfied a small group of Democrats who demanded that no federal funds be used for elective abortions." === why the charade when our Der Fuhrer du jour can simply make law by edict?

Just what are we supposed to celebrate in this new law? === To: mishedlo who wrote (109764) 3/20/2010 10:39:06 PM From: roguedolphin of 109789 ObamaCare: The Slaughter House Three by Dr. David Janda Mar 20th 2010 at 9:29 am In Kurt Vonnegut’s 1969 novel, Slaughterhouse Five, the main character, Billy Pilgrim, is an American POW who hides in a meat cellar as Dresden is being fire bombed. In 2010, the Slaughterhouse Three, Obama, Pelosi and Reid, shove every American in a meat cellar as they fire bomb America with their rationing-based health care plan. ObamaCare is a plan designed to strip Freedom and Liberty from every American. Obama, Pelosi and Reid now have decided to avoid an up/down House vote on the Senate Bill and to enforce the “Slaughter House Rule”. In other words, when you do not have the votes, just change the rules, pass the changes to the bill and pretend you passed the “real” bill. Previously, the public was outraged that members of Congress did not read the bill prior to voting. This is even worse. With this latest charade, Obama, Pelosi and Reid are forcing House members to pass the bill without voting on the bill. …So much for a democratic republic and The Constitution. The latest version of ObamaCare is troubling on many fronts. ObamaCare takes control of every American’s health care life. This plan would not improve the current system, and is fatally flawed because it: * Rations and denies access to healthcare. Denying access to healthcare is the most inhumane and unethical means of cutting costs; * Costs $1 TRILLION ( $100 Billion more than The Senate Bill) ; * Creates over 110 Federal Agencies, commissions and boards; * Creates The Health Insurance Rate Authority….a direct violation of States’ Rights; * Establishes a “ Comprehensive Database” on Americans; * Establishes Individual and Employer Mandates (Mr. Obama’s own Chair of Council of Economic Advisors has stated that this alone would cost 5.5 Million jobs….more unemployment.); * Institutes $748 Billion in new taxes; * Cuts Medicare by $500 Billion, over a period when 30% MORE Americans will be added to Medicare rolls, (You do the math…); * Imposes $136 Billion in tax hikes on working families making LESS THAN $250,000 (Americans for Tax Reform Analysis); * Ends Medicare Advantage Program for Seniors and forces them to a more expensive plan with less benefits; * Applies Medicare Tax to unearned income; * Increases Medicare Payroll Tax from 2.95 to 3.8%; and * Increases unfunded mandates on every State. * Increases Capital Gains tax rate as of 2014 to 23.8% * Creates 16,000 jobs for the IRS to implement penalties for those not buying insurance The Slaughterhouse Three, Obama, Pelosi and Reid, have authored the legislation that will make every American a POW, strip them of their Freedoms and Liberty and shove them in a meat cellar for cold storage. So how is that Hope and Change working for you now? biggovernment.com
