Obama's and Democrats' War on American Health Insurance

If Barack Obama is to have a legacy based on a program that he sought to adopt, then the only legacy he can have is Obamacare. Here I've collected blog posts that I have written on topics related to Obamacare and litigation challenging the Act.

Obamacare for the Masses, Exemptions for the Ruling Elites?

If the "new" health insurance coverages under Obamacare are so good, why do the elites of government get the right to be opted out from the program

Privacy? Privacy? You don't need no stinking privacy ... at least not when the federal government gets to diddling in your entrails.

Oddly, as Obama passes out exemptions and exceptions to mandatory provisions of Obamacare, and blows past deadlines imposed by statute, he continues to pretend he is leading a counterrevolution against Luddite forces opposed to health.

First sign of trouble? A President that behaves in a manner suggesting that he believes he is above the law.

Now that your health insurance has been hijacked, did you noticed the snarling creature on the wings, attempting to destroy the plane? Yes, that's Barry out there, making a ruination of it.

Ensign Sulu renewed his notoriety by becoming an internet meme and an internet highlighter. He threw something of a hissy fit after the Supreme Court upheld Hobby Lobby's right not to provide abortafacients as part of health insurance for its employees.

In a single day, two federal appeals courts have decided questions related to Obamacare, in particular, whether the IRS permissibly interpreted state health exchange language in the Act correctly. The dispute goes to whether there will be subsidies for the pricey costs of health insurance in those States (the majority) that refused to set up a health care exchange.



These three posts are an indepth examination of another challenge to Obamacare. The challenge here contends that the legislation, which originated in the Senate, constitutes a tax. As a tax, the Constitution requires that such legislation originate in the House of Representatives. Consequently, if the Act is a tax scheme, and it originated in the Senate, the Plaintiff in this case contends the law violates the Constitution.

Governor Romney, the fount of Romneycare, and President Obama, the fount of Obamacare, both depended on guidance from an economist named Jonathan Gruber. It turns out they both depended on something that Gruber told them about their constituents:  we are idiots that can be lied to and misdirected.
