Ok people listen up. What we now have going on is more of the same kind of shit that our slimy president is known for. Because in his announcing yet another delay in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, what we essentially have here is really nothing more than another attempt by Barry to lessen the fallout from his debacle of a healthcare law likely to impact his fellow Democrats this November. This latest gem would allow insurers to continue offering health plans that do not meet Obamacare's minimum coverage requirements.
This most recent move of Barry’s would prolong the one-year "keep your plan fix" the purpose of which is to avoid another wave of health policy cancellations which could hurt Democrats just weeks before the November midterm elections, or so The Hill is reporting it. "The cancellations would have created a firestorm for Democratic candidates in the last, crucial weeks before Election Day," The Hill said. "The White House is intent on protecting its allies in the Senate, where Democrats face a battle to keep control of the chamber."
This latest unconstitutional fix of Barry’s had been put in place late last year after an uproar erupted when millions of people discovered their existing plans were being cancelled under Obamacare despite Barry’s repeated promises, 23 of them, that folks could keep their plans. The administration has yet to confirm the policy change, but insurance sources told The Hill that a public announcement would be "imminent." It remains unclear how long the extension would be, but one source believed it could last until the end of Barry's second term.
This latest move would follow numerous other delays unilaterally decided by Barry "Almighty". It was back in July that he announced a one-year delay until 2015 of the employer mandate which would have required businesses to provide health insurance to employees by Jan. 2014 or face a tax penalty. Then, just this past February, he changed the deadline again, moving it to 2016. The move provoked widespread criticism among Republicans who renewed their criticism that the healthcare law is nothing more than a "train wreck."
Karl Rove stated the obvious when he said at the time that the decision was a politically calculated strategy to save Democrats in the run-up to the elections. "The president didn't want another avalanche of cancellations before this fall's midterm election," Rove said, adding that if millions lose their insurance plans shortly before the election, "the consequences would be disastrous for the president's popularity, and that of the congressional Democrats who loyally voted for the Affordable Care Act, sight and text unread."
Does Barry actually think that people are stupid enough to fall for something that is such an obvious scam? I certainly would hope not, because as long as this screwed up law remains in effect, essentially all that he has really done here is to delay what we all know is inevitable. People are going to lose their insurance, and I guess I see why it should matter whether it’s before the next election or after, it’s still because of the same group of people, the Democrats. Is this reprieve really enough to convince people to vote for members of the guilty party?
All that this blatant scam truly represents is one of those very rare occasions where this administration has actually demonstrated a transparency in what they were trying to do. Because anyone who can’t see straight through what’s really going on here, is either a complete moron or one of the more devout followers of Barry "Almighty". Either that, or they’re black and therefore view Barry as being unable to do any wrong. I’d like to think that there are more people who won’t fall for this stunt than will, but these days I can never be too sure.
