YUGE WINNING! Obama's Un-American Mandate Repealed...

[Dschrute3]

Maybe GOP leadership has finally turned the corner? Up till now, i could only describe it as shockingly feckless. Let's hope this is sign of more great things to come.

 

[RDD_1210]

Well, considering the GOP lied to us for eight years about Repeal & Replace, maybe their flock will find a way to celebrate this remarkable and absolutely game-changing achievement.

Oh, i'm not letting feckless GOP leadership completely off the hook. I've probably been Ryan, Boehner, and McConnell's harshest critic over the years. But i have to give credit where due. The Mandate is gone. It was Un-American. The ultimate Big Government abuse of power. So i have to thank the GOP and Trump. They delivered.

So now that there is no mandate will you be dropping your health insurance immediately?

Obamacare is so popular, they had to threaten people to purchase Obamacare else be punished by a government fine that's how popular it is.

Yes.....premiums you couldn't afford to pay and had to have the government help you pay, and deductibles so high you couldn't afford to pay them...which meant you didn't actually have access to healthcare.....you were just paying money for insurance that you couldn't afford....

And another note the left does NOT want to tell you-------> since Obamacare, MORE people are filing bankruptcy because of medical bills!

Why?

Not because they do NOT have insurance, but because they go in for an operation and can't pay their FREEKIN deductible. So what do poorer people do when they have no assets? FILE BANKRUPTCY leaving us, STILL holding the bag!

Obamacare is so terrible the Republicans couldn't come up with something better to replace it.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

While I actually agree the mandate is wrong and needs to go away, I feel the need to point out nothing has been removed, this is just a bill that passed the Senate. IT still has to be reconciled with the House bill and voted on again.

Get this correct in your feeble mind------------> CHOICE is FREEDOM...........you seem to know all about it when it comes to abortions, now don't ya! If we want healthcare, we will BUY healthcare, and if we decide it is to expensive, we now do NOT have to pay a tax because it was to expensive for us in the 1st place!

Finally a US Congressional achievement i can celebrate. The Mandate is gone. It should have never been allowed to happen. So i have to congratulate and thank the GOP and President Trump bigtime. They ended the Mandate and got some Tax Reform done. A Yuge accomplishment.


Senate GOP repeals ObamaCare Mandate

Senate Republicans have approved the repeal of ObamaCare’s individual mandate as part of their tax-cut bill, a major step toward ending an unpopular part of the health-care law.

“Families ought to be able to make decisions about what they want to buy and what works for them — not the government,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said, hailing the accomplishment.

The Senate tax bill must still be reconciled with House legislation that does not include the mandate’s repeal. But that is unlikely to be a major issue, given support in the GOP conference for repealing the mandate.

Repealing the mandate also saves $300 billion over ten years...

Counting chickens before the eggs hatch?

Conference to settle differences with the House bill is still pending.

btw...even though it will never happen...a Trump veto would be classic....especially if he vetoed the bill on twitter....

Okay, how will this help? Walk me through it.

It is a Civil Rights issue...the Government can't force you to buy something.....

Nolte: Obamacare Mandate Repeal Is the Most Important Civil Rights Victory in Years - Breitbart

Going all the way back to 2009, it was obvious Obamacare would end up looking like a Rube Goldberg machine powered by totalitarianism. Who would have ever guessed, though, it was such a fiasco that the mandate would actually cost the government money — a delicious irony that would result in its undoing.
It works like this…

For the sin of being born, Obamacare mandates that every American purchase health insurance. If we do not purchase this totally unnecessary, godawful product (more on this below), we are required by law to pay a hefty tax to the federal government.


Somehow, and I do not really care how, this tax actually costs the government money, some $340 billion — with a “B” — every ten years.

Only Bill Ayers’ pal and his merry band of congressional nincompoops could crawl so far up their own backsides that they were able to find a tax that increases the deficit.

But thank heavens they did. Had they not, the Senate would not have repealed the mandate Friday night.


After the humiliation of failing to keep their defining promise to repeal Obamacare, the Senate turned to tax reform, which also looked sketchy due to deficit projections. But then the clouds parted and the stars aligned with the discovery that repealing the Obamacare mandate would save the government this $340 billion.

Talk about a win-win. Here was a way to kill the most hated (and crucial) part of Obamacare and pass tax cuts. And that is exactly what happened — the American people won a sweet two-fer: lower taxes and freedom from a fascist mandate.

------------

If I purchase a car, I am voluntarily taking on certain civic responsibilities that require the purchase of insurance. I have no problem with that. The Obamacare mandate is something altogether different.

For no other reason other than the fact I am born, the mandate is the federal government forcing me to buy something. This is nothing less than a legalized violation of my civil rights.

Forget the fact that Obamacare so over-regulates the insurance industry that we are now required to purchase a ridiculously expensive, one-size-fits-all Cadillac plan with a deductible so sky-high most of us will never use it. That is the least of this outrage, and something the Senate still needs to fix.

What I am talking about is the principle of the state forcing you to purchase something for your own good and for the good of others.

Sorry to be crude, but f**k that.

Setting a precedent that allows the government to force me to buy something for my own good is as un-American as it gets. What if studies show that the key to a long life is owning a Bible and gun? Is it okay with you Obamacare fans if Trump and Co. mandates the purchase of those?

Then why do we have to buy car insurance?

1. Do they tax you a special tax if you don't? No! They just won't issue you license plates, duh!

2. Do YOU pay higher auto insurance premiums, so that a poorer person can pay less? NO!

1. You get fined if you have no insurance which is still a way to force you to buy a product..
2. Your insurance premiums do help pay settlements for other drivers..

It's gone, deal with it. It was an Un-American Government-overreach use of force. Good riddance.
