The Affordable Care Act passed muster with the Supreme Court this week. The controversial legislation is employer based and contains the mandate citizens must purchase or suffer a penalty. One would question the logic if you go to prison for not buying health insurance, you are doomed to free health care as punishment.
Mitoosense was already suffering from Post Dramatic Stress Disorder resulting from Chase Bank loosing 9 billion at the Congressional Casino, followed with Fast and Furious contempt of congress vote aginst Eric Holder. Then the news came from the High Court, Obamacare was legal. Everyone expected the Court to shoot down the mandate and kill the Law. I think I'm gonna be sick.
Instead the high court threw a curveball and deemed the mandate was a tax, and therefore legal. It opens another door, is the tax unconstitutional? Can Congress force citizens to buy anything or be taxed? When employers buy group health insurance they often get sweetheart deals including costs or coverage based upon nepotism common in corporate America, thus avoiding the tax and out of pocket expenses. Another fine example of Corporate Wealthfare. God answered with floods, fires and blowing down the Congressional Golf Coarse in Maryland. I didn't know they had a golf coarse, silly me.
The ruling places the legislation high on the unwanted list with the Patriot Act and Iraq War. Similar to the Patroit Act the name shares nothing in common with the law. A vast majority of citizens were against Obamacare but, we got it anyway. The 111th Congress will be long remembered for representation in taxation. The 112th Congress will be remembered for skeet shooting all forward motion until further notice. Content with we ain't doin a budget, we just spend money we don't have and raise the debt.
No one is sure how the healthcare will operate. For sure nobody in Congress has read the 2700 pages of how you will pay for healthcare of others, while forcing you into servitde to an employer and guranteeing the giant Insurance Titans will continue to mandate costs to protect selfish obscene profits.
Only Congress can take noble causes such as retirement and healthcare and twist them into a cocktail of another Oligopoly Conspiracy to indenture citizens to servitude. Little benfits mixed with huge losses of personal freedoms found in the first paragraph of the Constitution.
