ObamaCare nightmare begins to unfold

Custom Search

Our friends at Liberty Counsel have uncovered several of the painful "prizes" of ObamaCare. They recently filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of ObamaCare. Please read the important message below and forward it to 10-20 of your friends. Thank you for your support, Your friends at Grassroots Action ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman Liberty Counsel Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) said of ObamaCare, "I don't think anyone fully comprehends what it means." The nightmare of what actually IS in this unconstitutional monstrosity is slowly coming into focus. Please read my message below. - Mat Dear Friend, Remember Nancy Pelosi's now infamous statement, "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it"? Now that ObamaCare is law, Americans are expressing "buyer's remorse" at a quickly increasing rate. Here are some of the "prizes" we are beginning to discover inside ObamaCare: Prize #1: Senior care has been gutted. Jim Martin, chairman of the 60 Plus Association, laments that ObamaCare will lead to HUGE cuts in services for seniors, especially those on Medicare. The changes, he says, are so extensive that they will inevitably lead to rationing of care. "You've got a report coming out from the New England Journal of Medicine that nearly 45 percent of doctors may start refusing to take Medicare patients. With fewer doctors and fewer funds, that means more people in line, and that means if you have to have some kind of emergency operation or test done, you're not going to get it. That's why seniors are upset," Martin says. Reports from other seniors' advocacy groups are similar - with the notable exception of AARP. That iconic organization betrayed their members' interests and supported ObamaCare because of the enormous financial windfall they expect to receive in their insurance business. By filing our lawsuit against ObamaCare, Liberty Counsel is standing up for American seniors, who above all others deserve coverage from a Medicare system they paid into throughout their working years. Prize #2: Bernie Madoff-style accounting. One of the most painful revelations about ObamaCare is coming through its unstated costs - the realities of budgeting and implementing this monstrous bill over many years to come. The bill's advertised price tag of one trillion dollars was sheer fantasy. ObamaCare's financial structure is based on a Ponzi Scheme of collecting taxes for 10 years while only offering 6 years of service. In the post-passage light of day, realistic cost estimates now range from $2.4 trillion to unfathomably high numbers because the 2,700 page bill is filled with loopholes that are subject to interpretation. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) has repeatedly said that ObamaCare could bankrupt our nation. Recently, Massachusetts State Treasurer Tim Cahill, who oversees the funding for the only state health care system comparable to ObamaCare, issued the same prognosis. There are literally scores of new bureaucracies listed in the pages of the President's final bill. For instance, 16,500 unbudgeted new IRS Agents will have to be hired. One thing is for sure: The ancillary costs of this government takeover will far exceed those projected by ObamaCare's architects. Prize #3: Americans will pay higher prices for...everything. According to the Wall Street Journal, ObamaCare's cost to American corporations could reach $14 billion this year alone. Companies like Prudential, Verizon, AT&T, John Deere, 3M, Caterpillar, Valero Energy and others have already announced the anticipated additional costs - and they are staggering. Of course, American citizens will ultimately pay the price for these rising costs, even for non-medical products and services. Prize #4: States are left holding the bag. Fourteen states' attorneys general so far have filed lawsuits against ObamaCare because it is unconstitutional and their budgets are squarely in the crosshairs. By 2014, for instance, states will be required to pay fully half of the administrative costs that result from the expansion of Medicaid under the plan. These are just a few of the myriad "prizes" in ObamaCare that are coming to light. The actual cost of the 2,700-page bill no one was allowed time to read before it was forced through Congress is yet to be determined. One thing is certain: There will be many more painful "discoveries" about ObamaCare going forward. ++Henry Waxman, the congressional bully. Those who find fault with ObamaCare must be very careful about how they express their opinion. Apparently, ANY negative report on ObamaCare is going to be squelched! House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) sent letters to the CEO's of companies reporting huge additional costs from ObamaCare, demanding all documents supporting their findings. Next, he wants to see them on Capitol Hill for congressional hearings! This bullying is nothing less than censorship and suppression - the very Chicago-style politics that the Obama/Pelosi/Reid axis used to get their healthcare "reform" bill passed. It is not to be tolerated! ++Liberty Counsel is fighting ObamaCare in court. The federal government is forcing Americans to buy a product against our will - or face a substantial penalty. THIS MANDATE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL! As I have said, Liberty Counsel filed our lawsuit against this unlawful health care "reform" package in Federal District Court the same day the President signed it into law. Fighting ObamaCare in the courts is now our best line of defense. We are quite confident that we can win this battle. And since our lawsuit is constructed from the perspective of a public interest organization, it is different than the states' suits that are being filed by the attorneys general. It is a vital compliment to the suits being filed by the states and will receive its own judicial process. The facts of our case are clear: Congress lacks the authority to force the American people into making insurance purchases. Period. We are firmly resolved to resist the implementation of ObamaCare's anti-freedom, anti-life, anti-family provisions to the greatest extent possible.

The architects of healthcare "reform" are depicting those who oppose ObamaCare as obstructionists, anti-progressives, government haters, right-wing extremists and even racists. The use of such unfounded labels is offensive. But when ideologues can't win arguments on the basis of fact, they often resort to personal attacks. Selling ObamaCare after the fact is already turning into a highly divisive name-calling campaign. Equipped with White House talking points, congressional liberals are now using their spring break to sell the alleged benefits of ObamaCare to skeptical constituents. Meanwhile, several leftist organizations have announced multi-million dollar media blitzes to counter what they are calling the "misinformation about ObamaCare." Their hope is that by November, Americans will forget that the Obama/Reid/Pelosi axis of power rammed an unwanted, unconstitutional healthcare "reform" package through Congress and into the personal lives of every American. ++Unfortunately for liberals, Americans WILL remember. The socialist takeover of yet another key segment of the American economy will NOT be forgotten! There is little doubt that the November 2010 elections will bring great change to the balance of power in Congress. But Liberty Counsel is taking action NOW in the federal court system while also endorsing the "Repeal and Replace" legislative movement that is concurrently gaining momentum. ++ObamaCare must be declared unlawful! The unacceptable effects of President Obama's healthcare "reform" are so alarming that this law MUST be struck down as quickly as possible in a court of law. Liberty Counsel has brought a powerful federal lawsuit against the President's anti-life healthcare "reform" bill. We need thousands of additional citizens to stand with us. Here is what I'm asking you to do... 1. Sign the Statement of Support for our lawsuit. We will soon be delivering hundreds of thousands of these Statements to all the key plotters behind ObamaCare.

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman Liberty Counsel P.S.
