Chelsea Clinton recently voiced the official Hillary
admission that Obamacare is a disaster and that its costs are “crushing” many
Americans financially. It seems to me that Hillary is a little late in this
realization.
Where was Hillary when we had a chance to halt the
Obamacare insanity before it was enacted? Did she not read the bill (oops, no
one was allowed to read the original 20,000 page bill before it was enacted by
Democrats only, along strict party lines). Did she not hear conservatives say
that exactly what is happening with the ACA would inevitably happen (oops
again. Republicans and conservatives who mentioned the destructive aspects of
Obamacare were branded as obstructionists and racists who hated poor people)?
Of course Hillary will not propose repealing Obamacare
and restoring the nation’s healthcare to a policy of allowing competition and
individual choice among free citizens. She will not allow competitive, cross-state-line
insurance offerings in the 50 states. Nor will she allow the consideration of
tort reform to reduce costs and liability. And she doesn’t like the idea of
medical savings accounts that allow Americans to be responsible for their own
lives. Her only acknowledged idea for helping the middle class afford health
care is to tweak the bill here and there while retaining complete government
control. Obama’s “legacy” needs to be completely gutted and repealed in order
to “fix” it.
Although Hillary pretends to oppose Obamacare, two
articles from The Hill have headlines
that strongly suggest otherwise. On September 15, 2014, they wrote: “Hillary
Clinton’s fingerprints are all over Obamacare”, and on January 27, 2016,
Hillary is quoted as saying: “It was Hillarycare before it was Obamacare”. So
it’s obvious that Hillary wants to have the discussion both ways: she takes
credit for giving Obama the idea for Obamacare and wants uninformed people to
thank her for this plague on America, and at the same time wants to appear to
be a great reformer who will undo the excessively expensive Obamacare and save
American families money. One can only hope that Americans voters are smart
enough to not fall for Democrat lies again and will vote for a Republican
president who has promised to repeal Obamacare, period!
One wonders what other horrible, destructive things
that Obama has cooked up the last seven years that liberals pretend to like
while their ruler is in power, but that they will disdain in the future as the
destructiveness of the Obama administration becomes apparent. Will they realize
the absolute terror of the Iran nuke deal? Obama’s blaming of Israel for the Palestinian
problem? The opening of our borders to allow all who want to enter illegally be
welcomed to do so? The relocation of Syrian “refugees” into our country? Forced
location of welfare housing projects into middle class neighborhoods? Trying to
“contain” ISIS instead of totally destroying it? Dancing on television while Brussels
burned? And how about Obama’s plan to “fundamentally transform America”? Was that
really a good idea?
Democrats, regardless of age, seem to be stuck in the
stage of brain maturity where the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed,
which process usually completes by age 25, thereby making their decisions brash
and irrational and not fully thought through and properly considered. This
immaturity among Democrats/liberals/progressives is dangerous.
But they are what they are: Democrats behave like
impulsive teenagers who will not listen to conservatives as they make unwise
decisions that negatively impact every American, while calling conservatives
who give wise counsel obstructionists, old-fashioned, racists and bigots who
just want to keep liberals from having fun. Parents with teenagers will recognize
these responses coming from Democrat/liberal/progressives for what they are:
immature and thoughtless.
It makes one sad to consider the blessings this nation
could have had, and the tens of billions of dollars we might have saved, if
Obamacare had been rejected and real, meaningful healthcare revisions and
improvements could have been introduced instead of the government taking over
the constitutional rights of Americans in the running of their lives. It’s been
a tragedy, and it’s on the heads of the thoughtless, immature Democrats.
