In My Opinion
It seems too obvious for words. The people who write laws for the citizens to follow, should be required to follow those same laws themselves. The common sense of this is glaring.
When Congress started whining that Obamacare will cause them to pay higher premiums imposed by the new law that they created (!) Obama himself reassured them that he would 'take care of it.' And so he did. Obama promised that now the government (aka the taxpayers) will continue to contribute to the health care premiums for Congress and their staff. Just add them to the long list of groups to get Obamacare waivers, even though the law specifically states that this was not to happen. So, once again, our President skirts the law and makes it happen. Aside from the obvious law-breaking, it begs the question as to why all these groups are requesting waivers anyway? Why? Isn't this a great bill? Isn't this what the Democrats desired? Isn't this what the unions pushed for? Isn't this what his corporate bedfellows begged for? This was supposed to be a much better system for everyone!
So, let me get this straight. Obama and his Democrat cohorts force this 2800 page bill down the throats of the American people through several maneuvers and back room deals in Congress (remember all the town hall meetings and rallies that Americans held over this plan?). Thanks to the Democrats turning their backs on the will of the people, we can look forward to about 20,000 pages of new regulations associated with this bill (according to Sen. McConnell). This new law will force businesses across the country to fire workers, downsize their workers hours, and refrain from new hires. This new law will cause premiums to rise dramatically, will cause doctors to drop out of the force, and will cause people to get rationed care as determined by Washington bureaucrats. This new law represents one sixth of our economy and will ultimately help bring about the fundamental transformation of this country that Obama promised/threatened (depending on your viewpoint).
This is not a good law and Congress knows it. Even Obama knows it. But it will redistribute the wealth, as he so desperately wants, and it will allow for the government to take control over every aspect of our lives. There is one more exit off this dangerous highway and that is to defund Obamacare. Sign this petition now and let Congress know that if it's not good enough for them, it's not good enough for us either. http://www.dontfundobamacare.com/
