Why won't Nancy Pelosi go away? You would think that someone who's done that much damage to this country would hide her Botox riddled face in shame. But no, she's back trying to defend the monstrosity that she helped force on the American people in the form of the Patient Persecution and Unaffordable Care Act, commonly known as Obama-don't-care. CNS news reports that Pelosi was questioned about the rising cost of health insurance in a recent press conference (link provided below). Her answer, "Well, some of the people don't have health insurance, and they certainly will have their premiums go up. But for anyone that that is a challenge there are subsidies in the exchanges...but if you don't have health insurance and you don't qualify for a subsidy, and you're mandated to have health insurance, yes, you will have an increase." Amazing, so you're saying that buying something carries a higher price than not buying it? So insightful, this woman should really be teaching economics.
But that's only the beginning. She goes on, "It's also what you get for the money. In other words people will be getting no lifetime or annual limits on their coverage, no discrimination because of a preexisting medical condition. It has a whole array of quality that is in the legislation." Yes, it's all about the quality. And somehow that quality won't diminish because of the shortage of doctors that's already being reported? Due to such a shortage California recently lowered the standards needed to give medical care. You can now get a prostate exam from an eye doctor, or open heart surgery from a dentist. What could possibly go wrong?
Pelosi continued, "I don't remember saying that everybody in the country would have a lower premium," well I don't remember you saying anything that was even remotely true. She goes on, "because everybody in the country doesn't have health insurance. So how could it be lower? But the fact is, the value of what you get for the cost that you pay is a reduction in cost to you." So by paying more I'll somehow be paying less? Those pearls around her neck must represent her little pearls of wisdom. Although she conveniently ignores that people who do have insurance are seeing their premiums rise by as much as 400%. But by her crazy new math that's a reduction in cost, too.
Pelosi went on, "But for everybody it's going to be, again, a liberation, a freedom." Ah, the glorious new age. Now we have the freedom to have the government decide what medical care we receive. The freedom to have the government decide if we should be treated at all. Soon we'll have the freedom to have the government decide when and what we eat, when we use the bathroom, when and for how long we sleep. Oh, and don't forget, the freedom to have the IRS delve more deeply into our personal lives. Isn't that wonderful? How did we manage to live before the government gave us all this freedom?
I think I'm going to buy Nancy a dictionary for Christmas. This woman obviously has no idea what the word freedom means. Governments, by there very nature CAN NOT provide freedom, they can only restrict it. They can only trample over it. The recent parade of scandals and government abuses proves that. Freedom is only nurtured when government is restrained within it's constitutional limits.
Furthermore, if Obamacare is such a liberation why did congress exempt themselves and their families from it? If it's truly so liberating, why isn't Pelosi the first in line to sign up at the government exchange? And why did the Senate, earlier this year, vote down a bill that would force on congress and the president the same health insurance that they forced on us? I guess some people just refuse to be liberated.
Pelosi added that, "under Obamacare young people could pursue careers as writers or photographers." They can't write or photograph something without government mandated health insurance? Again, how did we manage to live before government gave us all this freedom? She went on, "But you just see, I mean, be optimistic about it. It's a very, very exciting enterprise."
WOW, the same idiots that run the DMV, the same incompetents that run the post office, and the same crooks that run the IRS are going to provide my health care. How exciting. I think I'm going to be sick.
