The Realities of DemocratCare…. or ‘They Don’t Call us “The Right!” For Nothing.’ Part XVII – Now, it gets Personal

I AM one of the 93 million employer insured employees that Obamacare has come for now that it has all but killed off the private insurance marketplace – something that absolutely delights folks like NH Congressmen Annie Custer, Carol Shea-Porter, and NH’s US Senator Jeanne Shaheen.  They want as little capitalism left as possible: Shaheen has shown it by her disregard for citizen control by SB711 and Chief Cheerleader for Obamacare, CSP by her hucksterism for Obamacare in her town halls her first term, and Kuster’s “I’m more Progressive than everyone else” during her primary race.  For them, NH Citizens getting screwed over by Obamacare is a feature, not a bug (regardless of what they say – ALWAYS look to what their actions have been).

I work for a largish company and today, Obamacare walked up to me and smacked me.  The plan that my employer has been offering (among a small few) and that I had used for almost 15 years (with very small little changes) has been cancelled – Obamacare made it too expensive.  I now have to pick from an even smaller number of other plans but the one that I will be forced to pick that best matches my former plan will cost me 25% more,  double (more or less) my deductible, and more for drug prescriptions.  And God help me if there are no providers “in network” for me here in NH.

Don’t get me wrong – I have a job and I have coverage; I am thankful.  But I am angry that money is being taken out of my pocket to satisfy the ideological demand by my Government that I must pay more simply so they can carry out their wholesale redistributive jones.  I am angry over the angst that this is going to cost to make sure that some specialized needs will be taken care of.  And I am angry over the time I will have to spend that I shouldn’t have to in actually “choosing well” that I didn’t have to in the past – “chose poorly” has extremely real consequences if I decide wrongly.

Is this the Proper Role of Government – to deliberately hurt a lot of people under the guise of being “compassionate”?

They make the claims that taking money from me, and others like me, will stimulate the economy when they give it to others, simply because of all the things those others will now be able to buy.  Bastiat’s broken window on steroids – they are richer, but I am poorer; there is no gain for me in paying more for less.

But then again, Obama did say ““I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money” and everyone at the time thought he meant the millionaires and billionaires – the 1%.  Now I personally know he really meant the Middle Class too.

Just remind NH Congressmen Annie Custer, Carol Shea-Porter, and NH’s US Senator Jeanne Shaheen: YOU LIED TOO!
