Obamacare’s 7 Biggest Whoppers

It was predicted a long time ago that Obamacare would not work. Insurance companies, think tanks, major newspapers, and Ivy League professors all said the same thing: It wasn’t sustainable. We should have listened to them. Historically, the American government has not been good at managing this type of large-scale benefits service.

Barack Obama, however, promised us he had the American public’s best interest in mind.

With the election just ahead, and as you get a good look at the hit you’ll take on health insurance costs next year, there are a few things worth remembering — including that the government does not “give away” or “make” anything. The government must take away something from someone else before it can give it away anything to another person.

When half of society gets the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to pay their expenses — it is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Below are the biggest lies President Obama and his Democratic Congress gave Americans as they voted for Obamacare without ever reading it:

1.) ‘Obamacare is not a tax.’
Truth: It is a tax, according to the Supreme Court. The IRS will deduct fines and Obamacare payments as a tax, and you will have less income … just like a tax. Obamacare is a tax.

2.) ‘Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase.’
Truth: Obamacare mandates resulted in over a dozen tax hikes, all of which were put on the shoulders of the American taxpayer.

3.) ‘I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future.’
Truth: Obamacare is unsustainable without taxpayer intervention. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that Obamacare will add over a trillion dollars of debt in the next decade.

4.) ‘If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period.’
Truth: Tens of millions of people have lost their health insurance and millions of Americans now prefer to pay the increasing yearly fines rather than pay for Obamacare.

5.) ‘No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period.”
Truth: Obamacare asks for unreasonable expectations with regard to patient loads, office visitations, and reimbursements — and health care practitioners want nothing to do with it. Countless Americans no longer see their doctor because their plans and coverage have changed.

6.) ‘In an Obama administration, we’ll lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year.’
Truth: Premiums have doubled and tripled for less coverage and have significantly increased deductibles for all Obamacare enrollees.

7.) ‘For the 85 and 90 percent of Americans who already have health insurance, this thing’s already happened. And their only impact is that their insurance is stronger, better, and more secure than it was before. Full stop. That’s it. They don’t have to worry about anything else.’
Truth: Obamacare had coverage mandates that increased the cost of coverage and deductibles — in many states by several hundred percent. These costs were directly passed onto the consumer in the form of significantly higher premiums.

Insurance companies everywhere are dropping out of Obamacare exchanges because Obamacare doesn’t work.
