Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) released a sharp statement in
advance of President Obama’s bizarre infomercial for his disastrous health care
scheme:
Today President Obama
will draw the media’s attention to a handful of persons who have applied for
Obamacare while ignoring the untold number of Americans who are losing the plans
they liked because of Obamacare.
Yesterday, Kaiser Health
joined numerous other news outlets by confirming a new victim of Obamacare:
Americans who are receiving cancellation notices from their insurers due to the
Affordable Act.
“Health plans are sending
hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters to people who buy their own
coverage, frustrating some consumers who want to keep what they have and
forcing others to buy more costly policies,” Kaiser Health News reported. “The
main reason insurers offer is that the policies fall short of what the
Affordable Care Act requires starting Jan. 1. Most are ending policies sold
after the law passed in March 2010. At least a few are cancelling plans sold to
people with pre-existing medical conditions.”
President Obama is sure
to promise Americans that with more time, taxpayer money, and patience the law
will perform better. Its failings, however, are not limited to its website or
its rollout.
We already know Obamacare
can’t live up to its promises. President Obama promised Americans that their
premiums would go down, taxes would stay low, millions of jobs would be
created, and if they liked their healthcare plans, they could keep them.
Instead, premiums are rising, taxes are higher, the economy is sputtering, and
people are losing their plans.
Obamacare is the nation’s
biggest job killer and stands in the way of our country’s economic growth and
prosperity. It should be defunded and repealed. President Obama should hear the
pleas from the untold number of Americans who are losing their jobs, wages, and
healthcare plans, and Congress should act immediately to stop Obamacare from
inflicting any more damage on the country on our hard-working citizens.
Highlighting a few beneficiaries while ignoring the
larger number of people with complaints – or insulting the latter as “greedy”
and telling them to shut up – is the old socialist game, still running after a
century of agonizing failure. The idea that benefits for a handful of people
justify suffering for millions, not to mention the waste of billions of
dollars, is foolish on a practical level… but that’s when the people who told
you a central planning board of government geniuses could run health care
better than the free market abruptly stop talking about practicality, and begin
lobbing tearful moralistic grenades about all the poor people who will suffer
if strong steps are taken to correct the disaster they have created.....To Read More.....
