Perception Is Often Reality
Apr 7, 2010 Political
Not long ago I wrote about the free Obama care that was signed into law. I was taken to task by someone who failed to realize that the plan was perceived as free. I was challenged to show that Obama said that it would be free. He gave that impression. He made it sound as if affordable health care was free health care and those in society who live off the taxpayers who fund government swallowed it up hook, line, and sinker. They swallowed it up because they believe their sainted leader will GIVE them health care.
Now that perception has become reality because not only have people bought into the idea that health care will be free, they have been calling up and asking how to get it.
Two weeks after President Barack Obama signed the big health care overhaul into law, Americans are struggling to understand how — and when — the sweeping measure will affect them.
Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors’ offices, human resources departments and business groups.
“They’re saying, ‘Where do we get the free Obama care, and how do I sign up for that?’ ” said Carrie McLean, a licensed agent for eHealthInsurance.com. The California-based company sells coverage from 185 health insurance carriers in 50 states. McClatchy
For over a year this debate consumed America. People knew that it would force Americans to buy insurance as a condition of being a citizen in good standng and that it would not take effect until four years from now but people are still calling to sign up for their free care. They were bewildered when told that it does not take effect right away.
Forgetting all the things that have been said about the bill, how can people who follow the news not know that they would not get it free and that it did not start for four years?
Easy, Obama made it sound free. He made it sound like people would get something for nothing when he said the government would help those who were unable to afford the insurance. His followers took that to mean that the government would take care of them FOR FREE. This is because they always look to government to care for them.
Another troubling thing is that we allow these people to vote. We let people who cannot, after a year, understand what is going on, vote in our elections. We have people who could not empty a bucket if the directions were written on the bottom and we let them vote.
These kind of people voting is how America gets a person like Obama in office.
They are the people who give his regime its power.
Like I have said before. Every person should get one vote for being an American and then people should get additional votes for each $5000 in taxes they pay. Just like voting stock shares in a company, those who have more stock in the country should get more shares to vote.
So for 47% of the country, one vote is all they would get (yeah, once again nearly half of the country paid no federal income taxes or got more back than they paid in).
Never surrender, never submit.
