2,977 Pages

Remember when then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stood in front of Congress and giggled in a condescending manner that "you have to read the bill to find out what's in it"?  Then the Bill was passed by a Democrat controlled House and Senate. The Bill was dubbed "Obamacare", and was destined to be this President's legacy. Subsequently many institutions, corporations, some Unions, universities, etc., DID take the time to read and peruse the Obamacare health bill of 2,977 pages. As complaints about Obamacare began to roll in  certain institutions, corporations, Unions, schools were granted "waivers" from Obamacare.Why was it necessary to grant all the waivers? Was something wrong?, and I've often wondered why ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC never reported that. Can you guess why?

Remember when President Obama "threatened" that if his debt ceiling wasn't raised "I cannot guarantee Social Security checks will be mailed out this month". Of course that was a scare tactic and a lie. The President does not have the power to stop the monthly mailings of Social Security checks.  Much the same way the President threatened that if Obamacare wasn't passed just maybe Medicare payments would not go out. This is another lie that was not broadcasted by the media.

However, one definite piece of information the Obamacare  supporters did not report, that should frighten all Medicare beneficiaries, is that Obamacare, if upheld by the Supreme Court,  will raid $500Billion from Medicare to pay for health insurance to thirty million people that will be lifted from the uninsured. Many of these thirty million are already young and healthy, and are more than able to find employment and seek their own health insurance.

And maybe the most dangerous prospect of all; if the Supreme Court passes Obamacare, a committee of fifteen unelected so called officials, called the Independent Payment Advisory Board will be formed.  Their main charter will be to "ration"health care to the elderly. While there is no definite proof, it is also presumed that this board will also ration Medicare payments. Again, no reporting from the media on this subject.

Will someone please read the Constitution to the President. He feels Obamacare should fly through untouched and approved by the Supreme Court because an strong majority in Congress passed the Bill. President Obama is not stupid, he just feels he is above the Constitution of the United States. This is truly unconstitutional.

Isn't it about time that ALL 2,977 pages of Obamacare is read now before a final vote by the Supreme Court is decided. Where are you media?
