Just like there are a lot of Canadian wannabes on this forum, there are many Yank wannabes who wanna have socialized medicine just like they have north of the border.

I'm not sure how much money that will save in the long run! -:)

This Top Ten list comes from an article by John Nolte at Breitbart. I’ve shortened the article by removing most of the links. The MSM has been negligent in their duties to speak truth to power. They have abrogated that responsibility when Democrats have the helm in the WH. The only time that the media chirps is when Republicans are in power. On ObamaCare they are AWOL.

Here are the Top Ten reasons why ObamaCare sucks:

1. Millions are and will lose the insurance Obama promised they could keep. Because ObamaCare forces employers to offer expensive Cadillac plans but also offers the option of paying a fine for not providing health insurance that can be cheaper than providing it, between seven and twenty million Americans are likely to lose their health insurance coverage according to the Congressional Budget Office. The original estimate was closer to four million.

2. The cost of healthcare premiums is about to further skyrocket. Premium costs have already exploded, but that is a slow-motion explosion. In the near future, we could see costs double or worse. Naturally, these costs will hit an already burdened middle class hardest.

3. Lost jobs. Lost jobs.

The Federal Reserve’s March beige book on economic activity noted that businesses “cited the unknown effects of the Affordable Care Act as reasons for planned layoffs and reluctance to hire more staff.”

Meanwhile, human resources consulting firm Adecco found that half of the small businesses it surveyed in January either plan to cut their workforce, not hire new workers, or shift to part-time or temporary help because of ObamaCare.

4. Potential doctor shortages that will mean rationing: The healthcare industry is already a bureaucratic quagmire. ObamaCare is about to add steroids. As the profession becomes tyrannized by government, the talented people currently practicing medicine plan to get out sooner than expected. Who knows how many will choose not to get in. Doctor shortages are what lead to the nightmare known as rationed care.

5. Somewhere around $800 billion in tax increases will hit America’s middle class. This added burden will not only further oppress a middle class already reeling from a drop in wages over the last few years, but could damage the overall economy.

6. Inflation, the cruelest tax on the poor. When businesses get socked with added costs brought about by higher taxes and burdensome government mandates, they pass those cost along to the consumer in the form of higher prices.

7. Added bureaucracy. Even those Obama lapdogs over at the Washington Post’s Wonk Blog are admitting that applying for health care is about to get more burdensome than the byzantine paperwork involved in buying a home.

8. To cut costs or to avoid having to provide insurance, workers on the economic margins are already losing hours, which means a lower paycheck. There are a million sad stories in ObamaVille; here are just a few of them.

9. ObamaCare is projected to add $6.2 TRILLION to a deficit the GAO has already declared “unsustainable.” That’s “trillion” with a “t”.

10. More taxes than currently estimated are likely to hit because of situations like this one.
This monstrosity of Euro-socialism must be repealed.

If the republicans hadn't insisted Obamacare become gods gift to the insurance companies it might have stood more of a chance of suceeding, however that is the last thing the right wingers want.

Shutdown showdown hits brink as Senate kills House spending bill

Updated: 5:21 p.m. on Monday, September 30, 2013


House Republicans said Monday they will try to pass a stopgap spending bill that will fund Obamacare, but will delay the individual mandate requiring all Americans to obtain insurance, and will cancel the taxpayer subsidies lawmakers use to pay for their own health plans.


The House was pushing to vote in the late evening on the new plan, which they said would keep government open past a midnight Monday deadline.

I think the biggest problem the U.S. has and to a lesser degree Canada too is they have too many luxuries charged up and have a hard time paying for them. Time for everyone to go on a diet of beans, spuds and head cheese and beer on Saturdays only!

I agree

Another low educated myth. It was a bill by Democrats and passed by Democrats when they controlled both Houses of Congress. I would not expect you to know that though.

How many Republicans voted for Obamacare?
