AARP Employees To Pay More For Health Care
Nov 5, 2010 Political
AARP announced that its employees will pay higher premiums due to two things. The first is the rising cost of health care and the second is Obamacare. AARP endorsed Obamacare and now its employees will pay more so that AARP does not get hit with the Cadillac tax on insurance plans that provide more (can’t have someone getting more than another in the redistributive world) than allowed under the law.
So AARP employees, you can thank your liberal biased organization for your increase.
The thing that interests me is that AARP is raising the cost to employees to avoid the 40% tax on expensive plans. Why? AARP knew that Obamacare would result in higher costs and that taxes would be needed to pay for it and like all liberals that organization believes in tax increases. So why would AARP avoid paying taxes?
Seems to me that liberals love to talk about how they are happy to pay more in taxes but none of them send extra money to the Treasury and they are always looking for ways to avoid taxes.
Rangel, Geithner, Kerry, AARP, and who knows how many Obama appointees have worked not to pay taxes or have ignored them completely.
I keep getting stuff from AARP because they want me to join. I was going to send them a letter telling them I would never join and to stop mailing stuff to me but then I decided to let it keep coming. I would rather they keep wasting their money printing and mailing that stuff to me.
Besides, it helps the postal service…
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

On Tap: Free Birth Control; Misguided Catholics
Nov 1, 2010 Political
A little discussion is going on with regard to the health care bill known as Obamacare. Seems that birth control will be available to women at no cost to them. The article claims that the birth control will be free but it is not free because someone (taxpayers) must pay for it.
I do not have a problem with contraception and if people want to use it that is their choice but I have a problem with them not having to pay for it. I do not want to pay for their birth control. It is not my responsibility to pay for their birth control, it is theirs.
Senator Barbara Mikulski, the troglodyte from Maryland, says that it is clear that family planning was meant to be included as preventive medicine. She wrote that amendment so she should know what she meant but the larger question is, why didn’t she just write it in plain language so there would be no confusion? She wrote it so she could have clearly spelled it out. Instead, she failed to mention it because she knew it might have led to opposition that would have derailed Obamacare.
Here is an idea. If you want birth control just keep a picture of Mikulski in your bedroom or carry it with you and look at it when you feel like having sex. That will be enough to remove any desire to have sex.
The Catholic Bishops oppose the “free” birth control because they consider birth control to be a life choice and not preventive medicine since pregnancy is a healthy condition.
The Catholics have no say in the matter. That religion’s leaders take positions based on how they feel at any one time. They continue to support politicians who support abortions including partial birth abortion, the brutal murder that occurs seconds before a child is born. The doctor stops the kid in the birth canal, cuts a hole in his head and sucks his brains out. A dead, brainless child is delivered.
The Catholics continue to support people who are in favor of these things. The Catholics supported Obama and he believes in allowing children who are born alive after an unsuccessful abortion to be left alone to die.
Where were the Catholic leaders on that one? Supporting Obama.
The Catholic leaders have no say in any of this. They continually do things contrary to their teachings for political gain. I guess they, like Saul Alinksy, believe the ends justify the means.
No matter what, the leaders of the Catholic church are one of the last groups of people I would turn to for guidance on moral issues.
“Free” contraception is not free. We taxpayers have to pay for it.
The picture of Mikulski is much cheaper.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Great, Obamacare Will Mean More Money To Dead People
Oct 30, 2010 Political
There is no doubt that Obamacare will cost a lot more than we were led to believe. The CBO said as much when it was finally able to score the entire bill and not just the cherry-picked items Congress sent it to guarantee passage. There is also no doubt that the system will ration care. People will be denied care because they are either too old or too sick (or both) because there will not be enough money or services to provide for everyone.
The people who will decide this have been referred to as death panels. No matter what they are called, care will be rationed.
This means that more people will die as a result of the Obamacare law. More dead people means that more taxpayer dollars will be wasted.
A new report shows that the government, the same entity that wants us to believe it runs things efficiently and will do so with Obamacare, has spent 1 billion dollars on dead people. This includes a lot of money that was sent to dead people as part of the Social Security payoff this past year. In other words, this is recent and it is a great example of why government is not responsible with our money.
This does not include the billions of dollars spent on waste and fraud in Social Security and Medicare. Dead patients get treatement from dead doctors who perform it.
Government is simply too big and too cumbersome to run anything with any kind of oversight.
This means that Obamacare will cost us a lot of money. The people who die because we have no money for their health care will get checks after they are dead.
But Democrats have to do something to keep their voter rolls up and the dead vote Democrat.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Chalk Another One Up For Obamacare
Oct 19, 2010 Political
Boeing mailed a letter to its employees detailing increases in their health care costs as a result of Obamacare. The company provides very nice plans and under Obamacare they would be considered “Cadillac” plans and subject to the 40% tax the law places on such plans. The increase is expected to affect 90,000 NONUNION employees. Remember, the unions carved out a nice deal in one of the smoke filled back rooms.
This is the second of three reasons the company is changing the way it pays for health care. The others would have been there regardless but the 40% tax weighs heavily on any business. If you want less of something, tax it. We see that here.
Boeing is another in an ever growing list of companies that are either cutting or changing their health care plans as a result of Obamacare. As I see it, the employees will have one of three options.
They can join the union and enjoy the special carve-out (a desired effect of the con game).
They can pay the increase and be thankful they were able to keep what they have.
Or they can vote the miserable pukes who gave us this mess out of office.
90,000 votes can make a big difference in many districts.
Obamacare, not what it was hyped up to be.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obamacare Strikes Again
Oct 16, 2010 Political
The state of Connecticut has some bad news for its citizens. Those who have policies with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Aetna will see rate increases as high as 47%. Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who is running for the US Senate, sent a letter demanding to know why this excessive increase was approved without “full consideration of the facts.”
The response to Blumenthal clearly lays out how the facts were fully considered. The changes that the insurance companies made will not result in an increase. ALL increases are a result of Obamacare:
Sullivan responded to Blumenthal saying the new rates included “very rich benefits” mandated by federal law.
“There is not one person in the state of Connecticut who will see an increase in their current premiums based on what the department approved for Anthem and Aetna,” Sullivan said in a release. “The rates that were filed and approved reflect the current cost to deliver care and the impact of more comprehensive benefit designs required under the federal healthcare reform law. If the attorney general wants to complain to someone, he should complain to Congress.” NBC Connecticut
The response makes it perfectly clear that the increase is a result of adding the mandates under Obamacare. The insurance companies did what was required under the law and it cost more money. Everyone who has a brain knew this would happen because you cannot get more for the same price.
Democrats though, do not see it that way because they think it is free.
This is all part of the con being perpetrated upon us. The Democrats want a single payer system and they designed a law that would force companies to drop people and insurance companies to increase rates. THIS IS BY DESIGN.
They want people to drop their care and go into exchanges. They want businesses to drop employees so those employees will be forced to go into the exchanges. They know that when they get enough of this they can implement single payer health care.
They have all said the want single payer. Obama has stated that this is his desire. They are just smart enough to know they will not get it all at once so they designed a plan that will eventually give them what they want.
They are pulling a con on us. We are the marks and the health care bill is the set-up. They will let the set-up do its thing until they are in position to pull the off the con.
Perhaps they should have named the health care law “The Sting”…
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
