Thread: Impeachment Over Obamacare?

Impeachment Over Obamacare?


Katie Pavlich | Dec 02, 2013













Since being signed into law by President Obama in 2010, the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, has been stripped, changed and full of devastating consequences for the American economy and American families. It's clear by now that the White House and Democrats who voted for Obamacare, lied to millions of Americans when they said, "If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. Period." We not only saw President Obama admit during a healthcare summit in early 2010 (before signing Obamacare) "that between eight million and nine million people may very well lose the coverage that they have, because of this...And I don’t think that you can answer the question, in the positive, to say that people will be able to maintain their coverage, people will be able to see the doctors they want in the kind of bill that you’re proposing."




Then in September of 2010, every single Senate Democrat voted against a resolution that would allow people to keep their healthcare plans.

In September 2010, Senate Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block implementation of the grandfather rule, warning that it would result in canceled policies and violate President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their insurance if they liked it.

Three years later in November 2013, we saw Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius admit under oath in front of Congress that end-to-end security testing was not done on Healthcare.gov before it was launched on October 1, putting the personal information of Americans at risk and making them vulnerable to fraud and identity theft.


As a result of all of this and the trashing of the U.S. constitution in the process, Associate Professor of Economics at St. John’s University, New York. M. Northrop Buechner is practically making the case for President Obama's impeachment in Forbes:

The Constitution authorizes the President to propose and veto legislation. It does not authorize him to change existing laws. The changes Mr. Obama ordered in Obamacare, therefore, are unconstitutional. This means that he does not accept some of the limitations that the Constitution places on his actions. We cannot know at this point what limitations, if any, he does accept.

By changing the law based solely on his wish, Mr. Obama acted on the principle that the President can rewrite laws and—since this is a principle—not just this law, but any law. After the crash of Obamacare, many Congressmen have implored the President to change the individual mandate the same way he had changed the employer mandate, that is, to violate the Constitution again.

The main responsibility the Constitution assigns to the President is to faithfully execute the Laws. If the President rejects this job, if instead he decides he can change or ignore laws he does not like, then what?

The time will come when Congress passes a law and the President ignores it. Or he may choose to enforce some parts and ignore others (as Mr. Obama is doing now). Or he may not wait for Congress and issue a decree (something Mr. Obama has done and has threatened to do again).

The most important point is that Mr. Obama does not consider himself bound by the Constitution. He could not have made that more clear. He has drawn a line in the concrete and we cannot ignore it.

Impeachment isn't going to happen with a divided Congress, but that doesn't mean there isn't a solid case for it.

More fun from today’s press briefing at the White House. The answer to the one question, “What’s he waiting for?” is obvious. He’s just waiting for the website to actually work. Or maybe he granted himself a waiver.

In order to avoid getting linked to the disastrous law, President Obama and Democrats have stopped referring to Obamacare as Obamacare. In fact, Democrats will now try calling it Bushcare. –Jodi Miller

Obamacare has already backfired so bad that support for socialized medicine is completely collapsing, hitting an all-time low. Please SHARE.

More Americans believe that healthcare is NOT the government's responsibility than ever before. Good... because it's not.

Are YOU against socialized medicine?

Jay Carney Isn’t Sure If People Who Have Signed Up For Obamacare Will Actually Be Covered on January 1

Posted on December 2, 2013 by Cowboy Byte

So, let me get this straight, signed up doesn’t REALLY mean signed up to GET the health insurance.
Check it out:

Speaking to reporters Monday at the White House, Press Secretary Jay Carney couldn’t directly say whether people who have “signed up” for Obamacare will actually have health insurance starting on January 1.

“We’re telling consumers if they’re not sure if they’re enrolled they should call the insurer directly,” Carney said.
Millions of Americans have lost their health insurance thanks to Obamacare and have been unable to successfully sign up for another plan. Five-million Americans have lost their health insurance plans while only 100,000 people have either signed up for Obamacare or have put a plan in their shopping cart on Healthcare.gov or through state-based exchanges.

President Obama's heroic new euphemism initiative - Joe For America

President Obama’s presidency is collapsing from a …

President Obama’s presidency is collapsing from accusations of corruption to incompetence, and White House spokesman Jay Carney is on the hot seat trying to defend him. The best and brightest minds of the left have been called in to try and stem the tide of bad news and turn things around. Although it will be an expensive new government program, the Obama administration finally believes it has the right approach to get America moving in the right direction.

Follow Joe For America on Facebook!

President Obama is now prepared to “invest” in a “new euphemism” initiative. Millions of dollars will be spent on hiring marketing consultants to come up with new slogans to change the meaning of words.
Glitches in Obamacare will now be “prequels to success.”
Benghazi will be explained by pointing out that the Obama administration has a “99% diplomat survival rate.”
Americans giving up on finding jobs will be praised as “a nation finally taking time to relax and enjoy time off.”
Obama is also guaranteed a couple of decades from now to remaining “one of the top 50 American presidents of all time.”
If the consultants fail to come up with real words, the administration will bring back comedian Rich Hall from the 1980s to reintroduce “Sniglets.” Failing that, they will borrow Vice President Joe Biden’s Dr. Seuss books for ideas.
In case the new verbiage rollout encounters glitches, Obama administration officials will roll out the same recycled excuses and euphemisms for failure but refer to them as new.
“Forward” is the new “forward.”
“Fairness” will be used interchangeably with “fair share.”
“Let me be clear” will be given various spicy but already used adjectives such as “crystal,” “perfectly” and “totally.” Whether or not these words will be used in sentences conveying any meaning or truth is “not entirely” clear.
“Make no mistake about it” will be used to convey that President Obama screwed something up royally. So will “teachable moments.”
The word “investing” will still be a euphemism for spending into bankruptcy, and every destructive social program will be declared redeemable as long as it is “for the children.”
“Progressives” who then became “liberals” who then became “progressives” again will again avoid using their actual title of “failures.”
While the Obama Euphemism Initiative is already expected to be a complete failure, Obama supporters have declared it a success. It did not achieve anything, but it felt good to say.

Obamacare’s effective minimum wage hike will cost jobs in 2015

Posted on December 2, 2013 by Cowboy Byte
Obamacare is already effectively raising the minimum wage to $10.30.
Check this out:

Will President Barack Obama be discouraged if his plan to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour doesn’t pass the House? Probably not — Obamacare is already effectively raising the minimum wage to $10.30.

Obamacare’s employer mandate, which requires businesses to provide health coverage to full-time workers, raises the cost of employing a single person by $2.24 per hour. Job cuts and small business-downsizing can be expected, according to a significant new report by the Heritage Foundation’s James Sherk and Patrick Tyrrell.

This effective minimum wage hike is strictly enforced under Obamacare. Small businesses of at least 50 employees will have to pay hefty fines for each worker not insured — fines that essentially add up to the cost of providing all workers insurance.
