Even CBS Admits: ‘Major Setback’ for Obamacare Part of Concerns ‘Law Was Going to Hurt Workers’

As I discussed on the show yesterday, ObamaCare is a disaster, and now we know not even the architects a) know how to roll it out, and b) even if they did they realize it’s a job-killer.

    As many are saying, by delaying the pain of Obamacare implementation, it will allow supporters to spend another year (more importantly, another election) in a fantasyland in which the law is not a human catastrophe. Of course, the pain is only delayed for those with some degree of political/economic clout; individuals will still be beaten into submission one at a time. Tammy and I, both individual policyholders, have seen our premiums double since the “Affordable Care Act” was passed, and some insurers have fled California. But the politicians and media don’t care what happens to individuals; we go unrepresented and unreported, and are merely grist for the political mill.

    The people who think they’re protected should pay more attention to what’s happening to us, because soon enough they’re going to get ground down under the same millstone, and the precedent of what’s been done to us will have eroded their basis to object.

    Oh, yeah, I also want to note that this 50-employee aspect of Obamacare is another bit of government engineering for the purpose of stratifying society into the big, connected players and the small, ignorable heartland. For a small business that has growth potential, Obamacare puts a huge financial barrier on your ability to move above that 50-person threshold. You might evolve from 20 to 40 employees, but you simply cannot grow gradually from 40 to 60; you’ll only jump that barrier if you connect to some serious finance. So if you’re small, Obama keeps you small; if you’re big, then you play politics and Obama will prop you up. That’s the world we’re building, folks; a world in which wealth flows to those with political pull, without which you spend your lifetime with the government boot on your neck.

    and now surprise, surprise, you can sign up and not worry about being verified! Think the folks who gave us ACORN and voter abuse aren’t going to get as many as possible “on the books”? Come Election Day, these folks, who may even know they wouldn’t stay there if verification came to pass, will know who they need to vote for in order to remain on the dole. While we express our shock that an American admin would tout mass signups, without verification, we the ppl are being steamrolled once again. American taxpayer isn’t being thrown under the bus, we’ve become part of the road that the bus rolls over.
