The dictator is at it again.

WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) released the following statement after the administration announced that the president has again unilaterally altered the implementation of ObamaCare. “Once again, the president is giving a break to corporations while individuals and families are still stuck under the mandates of his health care law. And, once again, the president is rewriting law on a whim. If the administration doesn’t believe employers can manage the burden of the law, how can struggling families be expected to? This continued manipulation by the president breeds confusion and erodes Americans’ confidence in him and his health care law. We need fairness for all, with relief from ObamaCare for every American.” - See more at: http://www.speaker.gov/press-release/boehner-statement-latest-manipulation-obamacare#sthash.qrx4PxU4.dpuf

Oh jeeze...I can't say anything other than to shake my head....I have learned my lesson about talking politics here..got a death threat once spurred by one of my comments...But if I had the guts to say what is on my mind very loudly it would not be pretty...This whole Obama care thing is turning into a nightmare of epic proportions. My sister would get mad at me for saying anything bad about it, as she is on it and very happy with her coverage, and she is one who had a pre-existing condition and could not get insurance before this, so some people are happy with it. She is paying a reasonable rate as well and I am happy for her...I do not share my opinions with her as she is force of nature I don't like to go up against either, haha....
Marique: I think Obamacare will be good for SOME PEOPLE, but I believe that it will be a DISASTER for MOST PEOPLE.
Yup I agree....I have worried about it being a bad thing overall. My feeling is that it is something that people are being coerced into by the threat of being fined if they do not have insurance and do not sign up for it. THAT I think is wrong, and nothing can justify that being right in my mind. I am not a hater and not bashing anyone but I do think that it is wrong to force people who cannot afford health care to begin with to make them even poorer by forcing a payment upon them that could make a difference such as going without food to afford the insurance. I know my sister is paying far more than she can afford reasonably to get the insurance because she was afraid of getting in trouble with the government. I asked her how she is paying for it and she tells me that they have to eat at least 150 bucks a month less in food to afford it, and her cupboards are always bare to begin with as she and her 77 year old husband are both disabled but work some just to get by because they do not believe in getting any help from the government. I commend their pride, but feel bad they have to starve themselves to afford medical coverage and that they were coerced into getting. Before if they were sick they paid for the doctor out of their own pocket or went without healthcare. So I guess it is bad either way. I just feel bad to make poor people even poorer by force or threat. I told my sister it would probably have been better to just pay the fine as it comes to a lot less than paying for the insurance, but she is a good person and says if the government says she has to do something then she should do it....oh well....I am a lot different than her, lol...
Marique: I think they fine you 1% of your salary the first year, and then it goes up from there. The government FORCING you to buy something is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. If people want to buy Obamacare, that is their perogative, but they shouldn't be FORCED.
I totally agree darkstar....That is tyranny or my description of it...
