Obamacare: Shoved Down Everyone's Throat

[epicSocialism4tw]

...unless you are a labor union.


"Labor unions continued to receive the overwhelming majority of waivers from the president’s health care reform law since the Obama administration tightened application rules last summer.

Documents released in a classic Friday afternoon news dump show that labor unions representing 543,812 workers received waivers from President Barack Obama‘s signature legislation since June 17, 2011.

By contrast, private employers with a total of 69,813 employees, many of whom work for small businesses, were granted waivers."

Incredible hypocrisy.

[The Lone Bolt]

Pfft. You're just pissed because the Repubs fumbled the ball and the Dems picked it up.

Obamacare is just Romneycare taken to a national level. The repubs had a HC system that worked, but instead of promoting it they fumbled it away. Tough luck. You have nobody to blame but the RNC.

Romneycare doesn't work.

Massachusetts is the most indebt state (as a % of GDP), with the fastest increasing debt.

Try again, you fail. Obamacare, not only doesn't work, it's also unconstitutional.

All you Democrat Euro-wannabee's promoting failed policies that don't even adhere to U.S. Constitutional law would be downright amusing, if it wasn't so disgusting.

Really? So when is the Massachusetts Legislature overturning it? Where's the MA public opinion clamoring for it's removal?

You fail.

The constitution is nothing but a problem to these clowns.

It was put there to protect the citizens against people like them.

Seeing as how Obamacare is Romneycare with some tweaks, and Romneycare was the instantiation of what the hard-right Heritage Foundation folks had been pushing for years (but are now lamely disavowing any connection), I don't see what epicFail is so outraged about.

As usual. He has his panties in a twist over something his ideology created and installed.

Yep. Obama's military plan is Rumsfeldcare and his health care plan is Heritage Foundationcare. But the Right keeps whining. Why? Because what the Right Wing is truly squealing about, under all their inflammatory rhetoric is this: "There's a dadgum nigra in the White House!"

Bingo.

[Atwater 27]

Come on liberals of the mane. Can you answer me one simple question with an ounce of intellectual honesty? If Obamacare is so good, why are the unions begging for and receiving waivers for it? And is this fair to the rest of the American people? Any takers?

Fifteen Differences Between Democrats And Republicans


http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/01...n-differences/

Republicans fear that the government has too much control over corporations.
Democrats fear that corporations have too much control over our government.

Democrats believe it benefits all of us to help the weakest and the poorest among us. Republicans believe it benefits all of us to help the wealthiest and most powerful among us.

Republicans believe large corporations will always do what is best for the American people if the government stays out of the way. Democrats believe large corporations would disembowel you and sell your organs to the highest bidder if the government didn’t stop them.

Democrats believe everyone is entitled to health care regardless of their ability to pay. Republicans believe everyone is entitled to jack squat if they can’t pay for health care.

Democrats believe too much of our money goes to crooked corporate executives who take government subsidies and pay themselves $80 million salaries. Republicans believe too much of our money goes to teachers who make $30,000 a year.

Democrats believe anything that helps the American people during a recession or a time of crisis is the true essence of patriotism. Republicans believe anything that helps the American people during a recession or a time of crisis is the true essence of communism.

Democrats believe that we need to set high standards for clean air and drinking water. Republicans believe that standards for clean air and water are burdensome over-regulation.

Democrats believe the President and Congress need to work together to create jobs during a weak economy. Republicans believe that Congress should do nothing to create jobs and then blame the President.

Democrats believe that corporate polluters should be made to pay for the cleanup of their pollution. Republicans believe that making corporations clean up their pollution is burdensome over-regulation.

Democrats believe our health care system exists solely for the purpose of making people healthy. Republicans believe our health care system exists solely for the purpose of making a healthy profit.

Democrats believe Congress should be of the people, by the people and for the people. Republicans believe corporations are the people.
[
B]Democrats [/B]believe that corporations have too much influence over Congress due to their lobbyists and huge campaign contributions. Republicans believe the middle class has too much influence over Congress due to their voting and paying taxes.

Democrats believe we need to protect victims of corporate negligence by allowing Americans to file lawsuits against corporations. Republicans believe we need to protect large corporations from lawsuits by Americans who’ve been victimized by them.

Democrats believe that the rich should be taxed more than the poor and middle class. Republicans believe that the rich should be allowed to keep all their wealth, except for the millions in campaign contributions they give to politicians.

Democrats believe that too much money in politics produces corruption and destroys the American way of life. Republicans believe that money and corruption in politics are the American way of life.

Great post.

[Rohirrim]

Teddy Roosevelt created the progressive movement in this country. He was a Republican. Do the Republicans of today support progressivism? Hell, they're only a step or two away from out-and-out fascism. At one time, the Republicans were the party against slavery and they did support civil rights. Now, one of their young turks, Rand Paul, and his father, are opposed to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Democrats were tied to the South and that large voting block which jerked their chain for decades. Once Lee Atwater and Reagan launched the "Southern Strategy" of appealing to racism to get votes, the South moved over to the Republican column, where it remains today. So now it is the Republican chain being jerked by the racist movement. Do you really think the Aryan Brotherhood votes for Obama?
