RSS10 Things Wrong with Obamacare from the Heritage Foundation and a Top 10 You will Never See on David Letterman
The Heritage Foundation has come up with 10 reasons as to what is wrong with Obamacare. Just 10? Maybe this is just part 1 on a 10 part series. Here is a Top 10 you will never see on David Letterman because it is actually relevant to Americans. Feel free to add your own reasons.
- 1. Millions Will Lose Their Current Insurance. Period. End of Story: President Obama wants Americans to believe they can keep their insurance if they like, but research from the government, private research firms, and think tanks show this is not the case. Proposed economic incentives, plus a government-run health plan like the one proposed in the House bill, would cause 88.1 million people to see their current employer-sponsored health plan disappear.
- 2. Your Health Care Coverage Will Probably Change Anyway: Even if you kept your private insurance, eventually most remaining plans–whether employer plans or individual plans–would have to conform to new federal benefit standards. Moreover, the necessary plan “upgrades” will undoubtedly cost you more in premiums.
- 3. The Umpire Is Also the First Baseman: The main argument for a “public option” is that it would increase competition. However, if the federal government creates a health care plan that it controls and also sets the rules for the private plans, there is little doubt that Washington would put its private sector “competitors” out of business sooner or later
- 4. The Fed Picks Your Treatment
- 5. Individual Mandate Means Less Liberty and More Taxes
- 6. Higher Taxes Than Europe Hurt Small Businesses
- 7. Who Makes Medical Decisions?
- 8. Taxpayer-Funded Abortions?
- 9. It’s Not Paid For
- 10. Rushing It, Not Reading It

The very act of attempting to pass legislation
written by some unknown/unverified persons
without reading and understanding the contract
being made for We The People is criminal. Fiduciary
Responsibility aside, anyone acting on our behalf
is breaking the Law and Trust.
It does smell very bad.
#1 THING WRONG WITH OBAMACARE OUT OF TOP 10 is:
* Obamacare is only Socialized Medicine in disguise!
My Father is a 2-time Cancer *survivor* to this date only…. I truly don’t want Uncle Sam getting any further involved in his Health Maintenance and neither does he or most Americans! State & Local Health Guidelines & Regulations are ridiculous and difficult enough to muster through & recieve proper care without going in to personal debt to pay the costs—and America is going to accept even more intervention, greater cost- and less quality of care and services if/when Obamacare completely takes over? Hell, No!
Enough is enough, America.
Wow seems unconstitutional. What happened?
My freedom is gone.
Folks, let’s use a little reason here. It takes 137 pages of documentation to file for the government rebate in the now suspended Cars for Clunkers program. The program was suppose to run to 3 months but instead was suspended after a mere 6 days, because like the economy and the stimulus, the government didn’t calculate correctly. If the US Government can do that with a $1 billion program, imagine what they will do when they get to health control.
Democrats are avoiding subpoenas left and right in the Friends of Angelo Countrywide program but they want you to believe that the insurance companies, banks and wall street are the evil ones!
Yes. I mean how could the GOVERNMENT ever know how to run a successful medical and health insurance program?
Who do they think they are, Medicare???
Oh, wait….
