The biggest thing is that this bill is about health care (insurance) whereas ObamaCare was never really about health care. ObamaCare was to eventually lead to a total government controlled entity. Only one time did Obama actually admit that his intent was, in his words, (a National Health Service Corp -NHSC). I saw Obama say this prior to his election. He never mentioned it after his election – probably due to his handlers advice.
The reason ObamaCare was collapsing was because it was meant to collapse the private insurance agencies. The math simply did not add up which would permit the insurance companies to provide health care. The people in Washington were full aware of this. However, the public would never had permitted a government-only health care unless the private insurance companies failed first. Be clear, that the failure of the private insurance was planned and desired so Obama could come in and “save” the public by introducing the government run entity.
The ultimate goal of the purely government run health care was to enslave the public into the Democrat party thereby perpetuating Democrat party control in future elections. It also gave the government direct control over more than 50% of the economy.
The HR 277 repeals 14 of the taxes imposed by ObamaCare, attempts to defund abortion and controls medicaid expansion. The big plus for HS 277 is that, unlike ObamaCare, HR277 is about health care for the public.
The biggest problem with HR 277 is that the Republicans don’t have the stomach or the balls to do everything they should. They want to play nice with things like the pre-existing mandates which impinge on the actuarial tables of the insurance agencies. The end result will still be government intrusion into the insurance industry and subsidies to keep the naive public happy. An analogy is what happened to college tuition with the intrusion of government based student loans.
The upshot is that HR 277 is a step in the right direction which will have positive effects for the current and next generation. Eventually however, it is probable that the end result will mutate into something worse but, at least, there is some help over the next 10 years.
The Senate will make considerable changes to HR277. The Republicans in the Senate also have no stomach so will attempt to remain in the middle-of-the-road to keep the public happy. The end result is that the public wants free stuff so there will remain a level of government subsidy throughout the bill.
*** Dr. Ed Picardi *** Is a licensed surgeon and expert on government efforts to control health care in America
When Dr. Picardi spoke out against ObamaCare, he was targeted, prosecuted and sentenced to prison. He served 5 years in prison, and is now free to once again pursue his missionary work, speak on issues of concern and pursue his passion as a surgeon.
Thank you Dr Picardi, God promises rewards in heaven for your suffering and I want to have a front row seat when He bestows them on you. What you say can be verified by Tom Daschle, a self-acclaimed architect of ObamaCare. In his book “Getting it Done”, Daschle says on page 307 that the endgame is to have NO private insurance…only a single payer system by morphing the government and private companies into one entity…with “Public Private Partnerships”….like we have currently in SD
South Dakota is one of the most advanced in ObamaCare implementation. The Argus reported we are the 3rd most advanced in “Meaningful Use” of medicine…which means our doctors are puppets under the Feds as it is the Feds who determine “meaningful use”.
They also define “Efficacy”, “Quality Outcomes”, “IPAB” (what Sarah Palin correctly defined as “death boards”), “MIPS” ( where the government takes away a doctor’s license if they fight their new role as a puppet of the Dept of Health (run by a non-medical person), “Best Practises” (where only doctors who join in can’t get sued).
In the end, Daschle says that the Feds will make millions of lives better by depending on Federal Bureaucracies to cure us, not uninformed doctors.
How could we have stopped this? Daschle says the only way it can be stopped is at the STATE LEVEL. Obviously South Dakota implemented this at the state level…behind closed doors. In the minutes of our “SD Healthcare Exchange Implementation Committee” (think about that title…it was meeting when Daugaard said we would not have a healthcare exchange), Matt Michels wrote: “Even though PPACA (ObamaCare) is unpopular in South Dakota, the Daugaard administration believes it is prudent to proceed with its implementation.”
Dr Picardi, I know you love mission work…but instead of working with savages across the sea…please stay and help us slay the ones right here in SD.
