Obamacare Outed

Obamacare Outed

If a tree falls in the forest with no one around, does it make a sound? Of course it does! However, if a news event breaks and no one reports it, is it still news? If it happens and the MSM doesn’t report it but radical news organizations such as Fox News do, does the event constitute news? Of course not!

That’s a thought to remember as Obamacare rolls on to its inevitable full implementation in 2014, even though it has been declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. That was news-y enough to get cursory coverage by the MSM since it was beyond ignoring but then the powers that govern what the masses see, hear, and read shelved that factoid so it doesn’t count.

When it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck and acts like a duck, it’s pretty safe to say it isn’t a swan. Likewise, when a federal program looks like a lemon, smells like a lemon, and tastes like a lemon, it’s almost certain to be a lemon and nothing proposed in Washington since Prohibition is more lemony in every way than Obamacare.

One entertaining use of that lemon this week was President Obama’s affixing it to the neck of Mitt Romney as what Tony Soprano termed “an albacore” and most people would call an albatross, a smelly sea bird foreshadowing doom when it’s dead and draped around one’s neck. In this case, it spells doom for Romney’s yet-unannounced candidacy for the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2012.

Romney, relecting a clear disdain for both the intelligence and memory of the American electorate, last week guilefully proclaimed that the first thing he would do on assuming the office of the presidency–a heady assumption, indeed!–would be to dismantle Obamacare. The president promptly and deftly thanked the former Massachusetts’ governor for his able “assist” in passing Obamacare by virtue of his model, the equally-repugnant “Romneycare” in the Bay State.

You really have to watch out for those invited albatrosses, or albacores, Mitt! Maybe, like your dad, George, did in 1964 when he turned up his nose at conservative Barry Goldwater and said he would go fishing instead of voting for the Republican nominee you, too, might consider doing likewise on November 6, 2012. You could catch an albacore.

Were entertainment the chief attraction of Obamacare, Americans could almost enjoy it as farce but most of what the Patient Federal Care and Protection Act of 2010 (PPACA) entails is far from farcical. Skillfully timed to fully impact Americans only after they have already voted next year with an additional two years built in to capitalize on their short term memory deficiencies, the 2,309 page PPACA will revolutionize America’s health care system beyond imagining, and beyond reasoning.

What will most immediately surprise most Americans is not seeing their medical care go the way of another Obamacare model, Britain’s bankrupt National Health Service, though that is as certain as death and taxes. What will shock and dismay will be the costs imposed, another item ignored or minimized by the MSM which makes it non-news except to those who will pay through the nose.

A primary reason for those costs . . .
