ObamaCare in Plain English - A Good Read - by Brad Pritchett
Theres a lot of hype going around about ObamaCare, and by now you are probably getting mixed information about what the law actually is and how it will affect you. The purpose of this post is to lay out the basic facts in plain English so you know exactly what to expect as this reform takes effect over the next few years. However, before we get started, allow me to clarify a few very important things about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare.
ObamaCare will not use your tax dollars to fund abortions
ObamaCare is not and will not lead to a government takeover of health care
ObamaCare will not increase the national debt or deficit
ObamaCare does not hurt health insurance companies, but actually increases their business
ObamaCare is not unconstitutional
ObamaCare is not socialism
ObamaCare is NOT Government-Run Health Care
So, stop lying about it.
- Obamacare will subsidize abortions.
- Obamacare is a government takeover of health care, this is how much control the government has so far.
- Obamacare will increase the deficit and the debt. https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/cbofiles/attachments/03-13-Coverage Estimates.pdf
- Obamacare benefits health insurance companies by forcing people to buy their product. Why is that a good thing again?
- Obamacare was rationalized by one man to be constitutional as a tax, even though the law specifically says it is not. Can anyone explain why judicial activism is suddenly a good thing?
- Obamacare is the public provision of a non public good via central planning, that makes it socialism.
- Obamacare is government run health insurance.
