Anyone who had at least 2 more brain cells that the average Democrat knew that we were all going to be paying out the ass for Obamacare. In spite of every warning and every red flag, the corrupt Democrat controlled Congress forced this on the American people.
Only a fool would think that the government can take over an industry and reduce costs.This will go down in history as one of the greatest frauds foisted on the American people.
GOP Doctor Calls For Sebelius to Testify on Obamacare Discrepancies & “Reeducation” Plans

The Obama-Pelosi Regime took control of one-sixth
of the nation’s economy when they passed their nationalized health care
bill and signed it into law in late March. The bill was never popular
but democrats persisted and rammed the bill through Congress. Now, there
are even reports that the Obama Administration sat on damning information and hid it from the public until after their bill was passed into law.
* * * * *
Results from a report
released a month after the health care vote were troubling. The report
released by Medicare and Medicaid actuaries showed that medical costs
will skyrocket rising $389 billion 10 years. 14 million will lose their
employer-based coverage. Millions of Americans will be left without
insurance. And, millions more may be dumped into the already overwhelmed
Medicaid system. 4 million American families will be hit with tax
penalties under this new law.
Of course, these were ALL things that President Obama and Democratic leaders assured us would not happen.
Via Special Report:
Six months after democrats voted to take over the nation’s health
care industry and force Americans to purchase their government plan the
administration has already missed several deadlines. Here are a few stats on this awful bill:
–4,103 – Pages of regulations issued on the health care law through Sept. 17, 2010
–12 – Number of final regulations not subjected to public scrutiny before taking effect
–5 – Missed implementation deadlines to date.
Rep. Michael Burgess M.D. (R-TX), the ranking member of the House
Subcommittee on Oversight and Regulations called for Secretary Sebelius
to come before the committee and explain some of her troubling comments and the flawed bill.
Burgess, Barton Call For Secretary Sebelius To Update Committee On Health Care Implementation
Lewisville, TX“It has now been six months since the passage of the PPACA,
and this Committee has yet to hear from Secretary Sebelius on her
efforts to administer the law. Secretary Sebelius is the head of
the department now responsible for overseeing a dramatic change to
one-fifth of the American economy, and Members of Congress should have
the opportunity to discuss the PPACA with her,” the lawmakers wrote.The letter emphasized the committee and subcommittee’s
important oversight responsibilities, noting that, “In the months
leading up to the passage of the PPACA, the Subcommittee on Health and
the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a number of
hearings in order to build support for the passage of a new health care
law. Since its passage, however, these committees have not held one hearing specifically on the PPACA.
As the Ranking Members of the Full Committee and the Subcommittee on
Oversight and Investigations, we believe this is unacceptable.”The lawmakers first made the request to Waxman for Secretary Sebelius to testify before the committee in a letter dated July 30, 2010, but have received no response.
“Since we sent that letter, Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
said during an interview with ABC News Radio on August 30, 2010,
‘[T]here is still a great deal of confusion about what is in [the health
care law] and what isn’t.’ The Secretary concluded that the administration had ‘a lot of reeducation to do.’”“Inviting Secretary Sebelius to testify before this
Committee, so that we may understand her ‘reeducation’ of the American
public, would be a good start to a public conversation about the new
health care law,” Burgess and Barton continued.To view the letter, click here.
—Congressman Michael Burgess, R-Texas, ranking member of the
Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, and Congressman Joe Barton,
R-Texas, ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee,
today wrote to Committee Chairman Henry Waxman requesting that the
Secretary of Health and Human Services testify before the committee on
implementation of the health care law.
Let’s hope we see much more of this when the GOP takes back the House from these radicals in 2011.

are the biggest bunch of LIARS!!!
Another Obama Nightmare
Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it?
That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home etc.
When did this happen? It's in the healthcare bill. Just thought you should know.
SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of HC Bill)
REAL ESTATE SALES TAX
So, this is "change you can believe in"?
Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax? The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013 (presumably after obama's re-election). You can thank Nancy, Harry and Barack and your local Democrat Congressman for this one. If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Is this Hope & Change great or what? Does this stuff make your November and 2012 votes more important?
Oh, you weren't aware this was in the obamacare bill? Guess what, you aren't alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either (result of clandestine midnight voting for huge bills they've never read). AND, there are a few other surprises lurking.
Why am I sending you this? The same reason I hope you forward this to every single person in your address book.
People have the right to know the truth because an election is coming in November!

"We’ve been flooded with queries about this one ever since the health care bill became law. At the last minute, Democratic lawmakers decided on a new 3.8 percent tax on the net investment income of high-income persons. But the claim that this would amount to a $15,200 tax on the sale of a typical $400,000 home is utterly false.
The truth is that only a tiny percentage of home sellers will pay the tax. First of all, only those with incomes over $200,000 a year ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly) will be subject to it. And even for those who have such high incomes, the tax still won’t apply to the first $250,000 on profits from the sale of a personal residence — or to the first $500,000 in the case of a married couple selling their home."
So now off on the trail......Annenberg Foundation Fact Check, I'm sure they would never attempt to color their responses (they funded Bill Ayers, Domestic Terrorist). INCLUDE THE SALE OF A HOME so what other items are included? sales of stock, business property? Business property - hmm would this mean the new owner might pass that tax onto whom ever used their service or product?
I crossed snopes off my list when I saw that they unequivocally stated that there was absolutely no link between Obama and Kagen. Looking on the Supreme Court docket showed that she represented him on all of the 'birther' suites and was able to get them thrown out. If that isn't a clear link showing that he 'owed' her, I don't know what is. When I provided Snopes with the docket links, I got a very snippy answer back. I was rather taken aback as, if I were them, I would have wanted the input so I could update the information.
Under tight wraps is the step-sister that probably did exist. She was alleged to have been adopted by Dunham and Sorotos. She died "under circumstances not exposed". What information did she hold that our Muslim pretender was controlling?
The media that has assets to pursue this information instead spends it to bolster the regime of the socialist vision that has been embraced by the members of the Democratic party and as the NEA has done it's part supremely well, 30% of the population is incapable of independent thought and will follow the leader. We need to enlist into the ranks of reason and thought all those young people that spent $30 to $100 thousand to get a degree and now can't buy a job.
Why well the "informed legislators" decided green is to go so they voted to outlaw incandescent, what happens when mercury is found in a building? Why Hazmet teams come in at Hugh costs and decontaminate the building! So the geniuses required by legislation to require CFS with mercury encased in glass to be used exclusively. To assem...

To assemble these bulbs are expensive so China is the recipient of an economic boost from our educated legislators. GE closed their last US plant in September cutting loose over 200 workers. Yea!!!! Let's re-elect them to do more for us!!!!!
Yes, there are problems, but the Democrats REFUSED to try to fix the major cost to our insurance premiums. That is the outrageous law suits that make it impossible for the Doctors to concentrate solely on our health.
They also REFUSED to let us buy across state lines. That in itself would lower the costs by have more competition between the providers.
EVERYTHING about Obamacare was and is a lie.
Only a fool would think that the government can take over an industry and reduce costs.This will go down in history as one of the greatest frauds foisted on the American people.
