First Congress exempted themselves from the horrific health insurance plan they pushed, shoved and bargained away to get passage. Now, congressional leaders are meeting secretly (of course) to give exemptions to their aides! Of course no Congress person wants their staff waiting in doctors offices for days at a time just to see a nurse practitioner; nor do they want their aides dying because treatment is denied. So the answer is to just exempt their staff.

How nasty is that? A health care "plan" that isn't good enough for the ones who shoved it on us and now isn't even good enough for their staff!!!!!!!!!

Yet if Capitol Hill leaders move forward with the plan, they risk being dubbed hypocrites by their political rivals and the American public. By removing themselves from a key Obamacare component, lawmakers and aides would be held to a different standard than the people who put them in office.

Hypocrite is a good word.

Very few Americans still like ObamaCare; however your congress has insisted that you will get it and that's that. Now we learn that besides all the taxes loaded into ObamaCare, all the seniors who will not be able to find a doctor willing to treat them due to the Medicare cuts, and besides all the employers facing huge costs to cover their employees for pay a "tax", there's yet another provision. This provision fits nicely with Obama's executive order "dream act" and the rush to place "legal" status on people who illegally entered and stayed in the USA. It allows employers to hire non-citizens and NOT pay the "tax" for hiring them!

But as Jed Graham of Investors Business Daily noted last week, because legal residents who are noncitizens are not eligible for the Obamacare subsidies, employers would be able to hire them without offering health insurance and they wouldnt incur any fines.

Essentially, when combined, wed have a system under which employers would be subject to a substantial tax on hiring American citizens that they would not be subject to if they were to hire newly legalized immigrants who have not yet obtained citizenship.

Department of Health Care Secretary Kathleen Sebilius whines about how hard it is to implement ObamaCare, claiming the resistance is merely politics.

First and foremost Mrs. Sebilius, don't talk to We the People about politics and ObamaCare. We know about politics. We know how the Owebama administration and liberals used politics to shove ObamaCare on an unwilling public. We know about the bribing of and kickbacks to our representatives with our money to get this crap sandwich passed. We know about the lies told such as "if you like your health care, you can keep your health care" and ObamaCare will reduce health care costs, using even more taxpayers' money to fly across the nation repeating this lie again and again. We know that even though one Supreme Court Justice, threatened days earlier by Owebama, approved the entire unconstitutional bill by calling it what the government said it was not, a tax. We know that even though We the People were promised that illegals would not receive ObamaCare, there is current legislation to make sure they do. The Senate illegally used a House bill, gutting it entirely, to prevent the legal requirement that all revenue bills begin in the US House. This also then required just a simply majority in the House instead of the required 2/3rds majority. Trickery. All this Mrs. Seblius, was politics at its very lowest point.

Yes, there's strong resistance to ObamaCare regardless of the ridiculous Supreme Court decision, regardless of the last election where the low information voters came out in mass (sometimes as many as 7 times each) to elect the person promising to "rob" the rich to give to the "poor".

Why? Because We the People in the majority do not want Obamacare. We do not want costs to rise, to pay for illegals to receive even more free health care, to have the government tell us what coverage we must have regardless of our needs or religious beliefs, to have some bureaucracy decide if our lives are worth the costs the government might have to expend to save us and to have substandard care in an effort to stifle rising costs. We go to doctors to get their experience and educated opinion so we don't want a bureaucracy getting in the way telling our doctors to counsel us about ending our life and question us about our ownership of guns.

So Mrs. Sebelius, if that is "politics" then at least its not the filth that you and Owebama perpetrated on the American people to get this monstrosity passed. We the People are suppose to speak and government is there to carry out our collective wishes. Instead, government has begun to dictate to the America people what they must have regardless of whether the people agree.

We the People will continue to make your job implementing this fraudulent piece of garbage on us as difficult as possible for as long and as hard as we can.

Barack Hussein Obama flew all over the USA on the taxpayers' dime to promote his health care for "all" initiative which eventually turned into back room deals with Democrats and got dumped on the American people. One of Obama's most often repeated assurances was that "if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance." It's no longer news that this has turned out to be a straight out line.

Those that like their insurance will have their insurance policy altered to include the insisted upon coverage which includes free contraceptives and abortion causing drugs regardless of your or your employers' religious objections. But far worse are the hundreds of thousands who are losing their jobs, having their work hours cut to below 30 per week, and those who were covered by medical insurance but will now lose that coverage.

One small example of what is happening all around the USA is a cafeteria company in Des Moines, IA. The company has 25 managers who are currently covered under employer paid medical insurance. They provide meals to schools, jails, and offices. The company does not provide medical insurance for its entire workforce of about 120 people, many who serve the meals. The employer paid insurance for the managers costs the employer approximately $140,000. While the complete cost of health care under the Obama administration is unknown to all employers across the USA, this company has estimates that indicate if they covered all their employees, it would cost $500,000 - which is more than any profit the company has ever made in one year.

For these 25 employees and many employees of small businesses across the nation, losing their health care and/or shortening their work hours will mean disaster.

The employees caught in these traps will be forced to purchase individual health insurance because the same new law requires them to  or assesses an individual tax directly on them.

Suddenly a major cost will be shoved on them that use to be part of their employment agreement. The average cost of health insurance policies is estimated to rise over 30% with all these people being shoved into the insurance market with mandated coverage and requiring insurance companies to take high risk people and people with existing expensive medical conditions.

Of course insurance was never meant to cover per-existing conditions; it wouldn't (and won't) be true insurance when that requirement is dropped. It's like buying an auto insurance policy after you crash your car! If we all could do that and get away with it, who would buy "insurance" until the unthinkable happened?

ObamaCare is about putting medical insurance companies out of business and having each and every individual put their health care in the hands of the US government. The government, who has refused kidney transplant insurance coverage to military dependents because in their mind it's
experimental, will decide if you are worth the expensive of surviving.

If you aren't crying already, read what the British have to say about Obama's latest budget, finally released today. It's yet another hoax on America.

Come October 1st, the (released Obama Care rule (63 pages because Congress can't do anything small)US Government will hire tens of thousands of people (union, community organizers and "professionals") to help people navigate through the health care choices. But that isn't all. Now get this!

"The proposed requirements would also include that such entities and individuals provide consumers with information and assistance in the consumer's preferred language, at no cost to the consumer, which would include oral interpretation of non-English languages and the translation of written documents in non-English languages when necessary to ensure meaningful access," said the regulations.

So if you feel most comfortable having ObamaCare explained to you in Swahili, the US Taxpayers will pay for someone to interpret the rules for you. What a country!

California has already stated they want 21,000 navigators (and an unspecified amount of interpreters)so you can imagine just how large this could get. The proposed wage is between $20 and $48 per hour!

And just to make us all laugh, this was added:

The rules allow navigators to come from the ranks of unions, health providers and community action groups such as ACORN and Planned Parenthood. They are required to provide unbiased advice.

Because we know how unbiased ACORN, unions and Planned Parenthood have been in the past!!!

The International Franchise Association did research of franchise owners and found that if some relief isn't offered, many franchises in the USA will either cut workers hours less than 30 hours per week or go out of business. These actions will effect more than 3.2 million work.

To help their cause, the association on Friday released a new state-by-state breakdown on the potential impact on jobs in the bull's eye of Obamacare, which declares that a 30-hour week is full-time, not the industry accepted 40 hours. That 10-hour difference has thousands of franchise owners scrambling to either fund healthcare for those working 30 hours, or cut hours back to below 30 hours.

Every where we turn we read of the impact of this humongous piece of legislation that was shoved and shoveled through Congress without one single congress person having actually read it.

As Nancy Pelosi said, "you have to pass it to find out what's in it". Now employers and citizens are finding out what's in it and it's not pretty. Just to apply for Obamacare requires a 61 page application!

If that doesn't scare you, maybe this will. The Society of Actuaries estimates the cost of medical insurance claims will rise 32% under Obamacare. The reason for the rising costs will be that more patients submitting claims will have serious medical conditions and will outweigh younger, healthier individuals coming into the pool. Of course to recoup those costs, insurance companies will need to increase the cost of medical insurance.

Funny how it is when people vote for other people to have to spend money, while they either are exempt or get a waiver. Some unions got waivers for ObamaCare and so everything seemed hunkey dorey even though the laws raped others.

Suddenly the unions are rethinking ObamaCare apparently realizing that waivers run out and they too will have to pay the piper.

"I heard [Obama] say, 'If you like your health plan, you can keep it," John Wilhelm, chairman of Unite Here Health, representing 260,000 union workers, recently told the Wall Street Journal. "If I'm wrong, and the president does not intend to keep his word, I would have severe second thoughts about the law." Besides Wilhelm, some of the nations largest union bosses have taken to publicly criticizing the Affordable Care Act.

It's a shame that unions lent their support to Obama long enough to pass this boon doogle of a health care control law. It's great they have woken up, but is it too little too late?

One of the lunatic mandates in ObamaCare requires employers' medical insurance plans to cover contraceptive and abortion causing drugs. Several Christian and Catholic businesses have cried foul since this mandate interferes with their religious beliefs.

Hobby Lobby lost its first round in court challenging the mandate versus the business owners rights to religious freedom. A different day and a different federal judge -

A federal judge has blocked the Obama administration from requiring Dominos Pizza founder Tom Monaghan to provide mandatory contraception coverage to his employees under the federal health care law.

This really should be a no brainer in any true court of law when reading the US Constitution. Mandating that an employer must offer health insurance(without even considering the religious freedom argument)is undo involvement by the US Government in private business. But even that was not enough power for the Owebama government. They decided to mandate the coverage that must be included in the mandated health insurance.

What happened to We the People who can easily decide not to work for employers who do not offer what we consider necessary in exchange for our labor? What happened to private business owners making the decision as to what they wish to offer employees in exchange for their labor? Even the ever rising federal minimum wage is too much interference in private business. While no one wants "sweat shops", government interference has grown so powerful that it simply sends the "sweat shop" jobs overseas and stiffles the US economy.

Already, many restaurants have cut their employees hours to under 30 per week simply to avoid the mandated health insurance which is too expensive of a cost of these businesses to survive. Surely an employee making over $8 per hour can afford a birth control prescription costing about $120 per year - if that employee decides they want and need birth control.

That's the first thing about ObamaCare - when the law was passed, many of the rules and mandates hadn't been made up. Another new rule will shock lower income families.

The new rule dictates that if a worker can afford (based on 9.5% of the worker's income) an individual health insurance policy, the family gets no help from HHS for a family policy. In the example a employee making $30,000 could possibly purchase a individual health care policy (with the employer paying the largest portion) for under $1,000. This is way below the 9.5% threshold so the employee is deemed to get no government subsidy. However, the family policy might cost as much as $15,000 and not receive much if any employer contribution. $15,000 is of course way over the 9.5% threshold but the family gets no subsidy!

So think about the incentives here. If I work a lower income job I can insure myself but not my family. However, if I work no job, both my family and myself get "free" medical insurance worth approximately $20,000. That means I'm working for about $10,000 a year. Why would I do that when I can get government assistance for housing and food to make up that $10,000 deficit?

Oh, and for and irony alert - Owebama has told Democrats that he will be addressing jobs and the economy in his State of the Union address.

Barack Hussein Obama told Americans over and over and over that if they liked their current medical insurance, they could keep it. That was a bold face lie. Seven Million Americans will now LOSE their medical insurance and many millions more will find their medical insurance has changed in both benefits, costs, and cost sharing.

President Obama's health care law will push 7 million people out of their job-based insurance coverage  nearly twice the previous estimate, according to the latest estimates from the Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday.

CBO said that this year's tax cuts have changed the incentives for businesses and made it less attractive to pay for insurance, meaning fewer will decide to do so. Instead, they'll choose to pay a penalty to the government, totaling $13 billion in higher fees over the next decade.

If that's not enough for Americans to consider impeaching Barack Hussein Obama (direct lying to the American people), this might upset a few more Americans.

Any immigration package in which current illegal immigrants are made eligible for Obamacare  in the form of either exchanges or Medicaid  could increase costs to the federal government by between $120 billion to $200 billion in its first decade, according to internal calculations by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee that were obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller.

First Americans are lied to about keeping medical care that is working and important to them. Next they are lied to about the cost of ObamaCar and finally, as icing on the cake, the US Government waves a magic wand to make illegals not only legal, but suckers on the government teat which could increase the bulging costs of ObamaCare to an additional $210 Billion to $300 Billion over the next 10 years!
