Isn't it Amazing

So, April 1 comes and we know there is usually jokes played on people as this is also known as APRIL FOOL DAY.  Now for months, the Obama administration could not give us sign up numbers for Obamacare and yet, low and behold, on April 1 we get a number of 7,047,000 or as they spin it as 7.1 million who signed up for Obamacare.  Of course they cannot tell us who are the Millennials, seniors, who had no insurance or who were previously insured but lost their insurance as a result of Obamacare. 

 

But the spin we are going to get is that 90% of these people had no insurance.  The reason is that these 90% had insurance before, but because of Obamacare lost that insurance, so therefore they were uninsured.  There is no way they are going to tell you that the 15, 30 or 40 million people that did not have insurance (this number keeps on changing) got insurance.   Something else to consider is that all this has been done by spending over $800 million dollars to insure the so called 7.1 million people.  Do the math.  You would think we could have just spent half that amount on improving Medicaid.  But if we did, we would not have gotten what this is all about, government control of our lives.  

 

You can expect with the republicans under control of the establishment of Boehner and McConnell that we will probably see little action, since the republicans are usually clueless on what to do.  They talk a good line, but under this establishment leadership nothing gets done.  After 4 years, and all the problems with Obamacare that seem to come out almost every week, they should have developed a comprehensive plan to replace Obamacare that would meet what the public would want.  But, that would require actually putting it on paper and then selling it.  However, they do promise if they get control of the Senate and keep the House they will put forward a plan.  They are afraid what the liberal news media will say about their plan.  We know the media believes Obama walks on water, so will find things wrong with any plan put forth by the republicans.  If you believe your plan is better, you defend it, but we know the republicans are experts in putting their foot in their mouth.  Besides, they intend to run this election on Obamacare when the world is ready to explode, our standing in the world is sinking, our military is declining, our economy is not moving, incomes are down and we continue to print money and I might add, it appears based on his statements the past few months, Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid has lost it. 

 

Now the republicans have indicated they will put forth a health insurance plan sometime in May, so we will have to wait and see what that contains and how they will promote it.   If by some freak of nature they can actually sell their plan to the public and actually win the senate, they can pass the plan and let Obama veto it and use the ammunition for the 2016 election as Obamacare cost rise and people lose their doctor.  But this would require intelligent thinking and we know we are talking about establishment republicans here.  Another reason we need Tea Party candidates in Congress.  The elections in 2014 and maybe 2016 may just be our last free elections, at least as we believe the word free means.  DOJ, the IRS, ICE and other agencies controlled by the White House are doing their best to gain control of the election process through their policies and actions or lack thereof.
