THOUGH THE GOP CAVED, AMERICANS STILL HAVE OPTIONS IN THE OBAMACARE FIGHT





Republican Leaders On Capitol Hill
Caved To The Extortion Of The Democrats



Todd Cefaratti, Editor of TPNN — The moderate leaders of the GOP have done it again; after speaking boldly and letting Americans believe that they will actually fight to do what is best for Americans, Republican leaders on Capitol Hill caved to the extortion of the Democrats.

It’s terrible that these turncoats have caved but not, altogether, unsurprising.

Republican leaders have acquiesced to a deal that will end the shutdown and allow for a spending bill that will cost Americans $986 billion and that will fund the government until January 15th, 2014. At which point, if history is any indication, Democrats will call the Republicans “obstructionists” and “anarchists” and the Republican leadership will fold like hot laundry.

The deal also calls for the debt ceiling to be raised to support our out-of-control spending until February 7th, 2014.

However, it is not all doom-and-gloom as we ponder this betrayal of the American people; though the deal does not, in any way, address the rampant fiscal infeasibility of Obamacare nor its disastrous effects on our economy, the deal does mandate that government verify the income of those receiving Obamacare subsidies.

This will save the American taxpayers billions of dollars as the Democrats had previously expected to simply hand out taxpayer-funded subsidies to really anyone.

Yes, the same government that has spent years harassing Tea Party groups, demanding to know everything about the political affiliations of these citizens had intended on running on the honor system when it came to dolling out government subsidies.

Despite this deal doing nothing to address the longterm fiscal problems of government spending, after having struck the deal, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid laughably proclaimed, “The compromise we reached will provide our economy with the stability it desperately needs.”

The deal does, however, save billions in government subsidies and it finally ends the partial government shutdown and spares Americans from further reprisals by our petty commander-in-chief.

The partial government shutdown has affected America, largely, because the Obama Administration has worked tirelessly to inflict punishment upon Americans. While Democrats, to whom a reduction in government is the worst thing imaginable, have continually pretended that the partial government shutdown has been taking a devastating toll on the lives of Americans, the fact remains that the vast majority of the supposed consequences of the shutdown have been manufactured consequences, designed to augment the effects of the shutdown.

It has become obvious that the moderates in the GOP cannot be relied upon to deliver the needed changes for Americans. What we, as citizens, must do now is work to undermine and collapse Obamacare through the use of the free market.

Obamacare provisions allow for self-insurance for companies. While often self-insurance (where the business assumes the healthcare costs of its employees out-of-pocket) is a better deal for larger corporations and companies that can spread out the healthcare obligation risks over a wide range of employees, smaller businesses are getting in on self-insuring as a means to avoid the costly Obamacare mandates.

Further, if more and more businesses self-insure, this begins to drain the Obamacare pool, leaving a larger, disproportionate amount of people in the insurance pool that are higher-risk people who are more likely to require costly healthcare measures. This will drive insurance premiums up and, ultimately, make Obamacare entirely unsustainable.

By relying on the free market, the American people can force Obamacare to collapse under the weight of its flawed business model. If the government won’t stop Obamacare, then Americans will just have to do it. » Full Article

Stop Obamacare:
» TELL CONGRESS: DEFUND, DELAY, AND DISMANTLE OBAMACARE!
ObamaCare is unaffordable, unconstitutional, and unworkable. It’s such a nightmare that even President Obama found it necessary to give his cronies and Big Business buddies an exemption. If Congress doesn’t act, all but the favored few will suffer the consequences. We can’t afford to let that happen.

About TheTeaParty.net
TheTeaParty.net is a division of Stop This Insanity Inc. and is a national non-profit 501 (c)(4) organization created in 2009 for the education and advancement of the constitutional conservative values of the Tea Party movement. This organization was created to help give the power of government back to the people. We believe, like many of you, that our government has grown out-of-control in a death spiral of unsustainable and barely imaginable trillion-dollar deficits and a national debt rivaling Gross Domestic Product. This government has ignored the Constitution that defines us; invaded the liberty from which our nation was born; and daily drains away the individuality and entrepreneurial spirit of Americans in order to advance a radical, socialist policy built on the back of American taxpayers. We, like many of you, decided to stand up and do something about it. » Learn More
