Podcast 23
This week on the Front Porch we will be discussing the topics that you may not have heard in other conservative media outlets. You will be given a fresh start to the conversation that will possibly be discussed. So pull up a chair and join in the conversation. Podcast 23 will discuss Obamacare, the SEED Program, and the Lunar Landing.
The Death of ObamaCare?
U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth sided with the argument put forward by a coalition of Republican-leaning states, led by Texas, that Obamacare could no longer stand now that there’s no penalty for Americans who don’t buy insurance.
The U.S. Supreme Court, led by Cheif Justice John Roberts, had upheld the law in 2012, by classifying the legislation as a tax. Since Congress removed the individual mandate in 2017, O’Connor ruled, there’s no way the ACA can be allowed to stand. Essentially this was a tax plan from the beginning. Do you remember the promises?
Obama on ACA – Front Porch Politics
We all know that this of course was a lie. While it did help with the pre-existing conditions, it failed miserably in keeping rates down and allowing you to keep your doctor.
And by the way, the new push is the Socialized medicine from the Socialist Democrats that will be joining Congress in January. Remember the great statistic from Ocasio-Cortez?“$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T. That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.”By the way, she was way wrong in the fact that the Pentagon has not even spent that much in the time period that she is discussing. Economics genius.
President Trump on Obamacare
President Trump chimed in on Twitter, “As I predicted all along, Obamacare has been struck down as an UNCONSTITUTIONAL disaster! Now Congress must pass a STRONG law that provides GREAT healthcare and protects pre-existing conditions. Mitch and Nancy, get it done!” Trump wrote.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it an “awful ruling.” Schumer said that if it is upheld in a higher court, “it will be a disaster for tens of millions of American families. Especially for people with pre-existing conditions.”
Followed by Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi said Friday’s ruling “exposes the monstrous endgame of Republicans’ all-out assault on people with pre-existing conditions. And Americans’ access to affordable health care.” Pelosi vowed action in the House when the new Congress convenes.
“When House Democrats take the gavel, the House of Representatives will move swiftly to formally intervene in the appeals process to uphold the life-saving protections for people with pre-existing conditions and reject Republicans’ effort to destroy the Affordable Care Act,” Pelosi said in a statement.
