From a recent White House email:
"Less than a cable bill
It's no secret that the health care website hasn't worked as well as it's supposed to. But Obamacare is giving millions of Americans across the country access to quality, affordable coverage for the first time.
Today there's some great news from a Department of Health and Human Services report: Nearly half of single, uninsured Americans between 18 and 34 will be able to get health coverage for $50 a month or less.
$50 or less. That's less than a cell phone bill. It's less than a cable bill. And it means that young Americans who want coverage will be able to afford it.
Deputy Senior Advisor David Simas sat down to talk about the news -- and why it's so important that more Americans are getting the coverage they need, at a price they can afford."
I find it hilarious that whoever wrote this is comparing Health Care to a cable or cellphone bill. It's not much of a recommendation, considering the last time I saw either, for a basic package, it was over $100.00. Which, by the way, is closer to what you will actually pay for healthcare in this so-called "affordable healthcare act." I know of at least one person who looked into this and it was something like a $400.00 bill.
But how expensive, or purportedly cheap, this may is not what it is important. even $50.00 is more than the homeless person living under your bridge can afford, likewise the single man living in an apartment working at a minimum wage job.
This is extortion, plain and simple. It is essentially another tax, another fee, another charge on your bill of freedom. That same document was paid for in blood by some of your forefathers. America is no longer a free country. You are not truly free if you have to constantly pay money simply for the apparent privilege of living here, outside of your normal living expenses.
If we allow this to continue instead of taking a stand we are no better than sheep allowing the few to herd us, the many, together towards whatever fate they have in mind for us. The president works for us, the American people, as does our military and police force. But the way our politicians have acted is not in our best interest. If you had an employee stepping out of line like that you would fire them! So it is time to fire our politicians, and unfortunately Mr. Obama. It is time to throw out this ridiculous idea of Obamacare and take back our country.
We are the ones who work here, who live here, who pay for what we have with our blood and sweat. Many of us are renting our lives instead of owning them. I don't know about you, but for me it is fast becoming too expensive to live here. When I was living alone, paying for my apartment, $50.00 towards a bill meant paying the bill or going without food. I know it is worse now, and at the time I didn't even have cable!
It's time to stop being a sheep and take back your right to live here in this country freely. We once had the balls to take a stand and threw an awesome tea party. Now if we tried that we would be assaulted by police officials in riot gear. Do you actually still believe you are free? It's time to wake up and face the facts. We can take a stand, now, on this issue of Obamacare.
All you have to do is sign my petition and pass it on. Even if it never amounts to anything, at least you took a stand, and that counts for a lot. But I truly believe that if enough of us sign and flood our representatives in government with requests to repeal Obamacare we can, in true Halloween tradition, drive a stake through this things heart and kill it once and for all.
