WHY ARE WE STUCK WITH OBAMACARE?

I refuse to believe that this country still cannot stop ObamaCare.  With all of the multitude of things that are wrong with it, why do we have to blindly go ahead with it?  

The main impetus for a health care fix was rising premiums, rising co-pays, rising deductibles, and rising prescription costs.  Obama insisted his plan would fix all of these things and Pelosi made sure we didn’t know what was really in it until they passed it.  It was all a bunch of lies and manipulations.  

AARP backed it; their premiums are going up, not down.  Blue Cross backed it; their premiums are going through the roof.  Prescription costs are outrageous and getting worse and we have a government that prohibits us from buying less expensive meds out of the country.  Doctors are dropping Medicaid and Medicare patients and wait times in clinics are getting worse.  

Every bad prediction that was made about ObamaCare is coming true. 

But, there no longer seems to be anyone in Washington trying to get rid of it.  Even with a country in deep financial debt, knowing that ObamaCare is actually going to cost this country hundreds of billions of dollars more doesn’t move Congress to do something about it.  You would almost think that insurance companies and drug companies are lining the pockets of the politicians!  Huckabee is the only one raising hell about it and chickened out for the Presidency.  

I just visited San Francisco and Anthem Blue Cross, which just jacked up rates by more than 20%, has a huge, plush multi-story office building in the really high-rent district there; that’s just one spot where your premium money is going.  

I’m sorry, my fellow Americans.  I am not going to take this lying down.  I will write endless posts and scream like hell: this is pure bullshit and we are the only ones who can bring it to a grinding halt.  We have to get on our high horses and make a lot of really loud noise in Washington.  And we need to be unified when we get in their faces to make it happen.  

How we can just sit here like bumps on a log and do what Obama tells us to do is beyond me.  Maybe we can get Benjamin Netanyahu to stand up for us? 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
