"the Affordable Care Act doesn’t do any of those things. It doesn’t make any decisions for you or your family, it doesn’t mandate any decision at all -- not even the decision to have health insurance. If you don't want health insurance you pay a fee (or call it a tax if you prefer.)"
- Violent, anti-gun liberal SoBeale. (see here for proof)
I can't tell if liberals like this woman are flat out dishonest liars or delusional "useful idiots." Either way it really doesn't matter. What does matter is that the bullshit they spew is 100% false.
SoBeale reiterates her lie above again saying,
"The Affordable Care Act doesn’t say you must have insurance or that you can or cannot have this or that procedure."
That statement, as well as her original quote are both completely false. Obamacare DOES require me to have health insurance. Saying it's not a requirement is like saying I'm not "required" to pay my taxes. Sure, that individual mandate is 100% unconstitutional, but it is dumbfounding to hear someone come out and claim there is no such mandate. It's even more dumfounding when you consider that said mandate was just recently struck down in court and the entire law ruled unconstitutional. Additionally, anyone who says that Obamacare does not regulate individual healthcare decisions is living in a fantasy world.
In fact, Obamacare requires me to purchase health insurance under penalty of law. It also punishes all manner of individual decisions via both bureaucratic fiat and taxation. Snooky is an idiot and even she realizes that the "tanning tax" in Obamacare punishes individual decision making via punitive taxation.
I can't honestly tell you to go read her whole post. It will make your brain hurt, especially since her conclusion is twofold and patently false. First, she claims that our capitalistic healthcare system has failed. Our healthcare system is not even close to being a free market system, so to claim that it failed because capitalism doesn't work ignores the fact that it is one of the most heavily regulated markets in the U.S. Hell, regulation is so heavyhanded that we are barred from engaging in interstate commerce in the healthcare market. 2nd, she claims the solution is more government involvement. Yes, because we've all seen what an outstanding success medicare & medicaid have been.....
It amuses me just how out of touch with reality your average liberal is. It's sad of course, but still amusing. This is what happens when the MSM spreads misinformation and our education system indoctrinates rather than teaching students how to think rationally.

To see how ridiculous it is, rephrase it:
It doesn’t make any decisions for you or your family, it doesn’t mandate any decision at all -- not even the decision to follow the speed limit. If you don't want to drive slow you pay a fee (or call it a tax if you prefer.)"
It is amusing... until such time as they start trying to force their delusions upon us, at the point of a firearm (as all governmental legislation is).
I just love her first quote, though... "You do not have to have health insurance, but if you do not, you have to pay a tax." Uhm. Wow. Did you even bother to read what you wrote, or was it all just spewed out as a whole?
The "individual mandate" constitutes a tax for living - either through my paying for health insurance, or my paying the fine. There is no "I do not want to play" option, and before some halfwitted liberal (but I repeat myself) starts whinging about taxes and what not, I do not have to work, and if I do not, I do not pay taxes. Wierd, that. Of course, I guess I do not have to live (and my death would undoubtedly make SoBeale and people like her very happy), but one thing that is going to remain inviolate in this country, by God, is that we all have a right to life.
And a right taxed is no right at all (see: poll tax). At any rate, all of this is somewhat besides the point - the "individual mandate" has been ruled unconstitutional, and until that ruling is overturned, it is dead in the water.
