Healthcare Law: Are You Gonna Pay & Play?

61

By Angela Blair

Yep, it's me again!
Yep, it's me again!

I’ve been diligently looking for someone, who approves of this healthcare mess, to take care of my two Cocker Spaniels because it’s quite obvious I’m going to wind up in a federal prison!

Here’s the deal: I don’t like the healthcare mess that’s been imposed on me, my family and the majority of this nation who disapprove of it. I’m strongly anti-abortion and there’s no way this bill isn’t going to pay for abortions. I don’t like socialism so I no longer like my government as that’s now what we’ve got. I damned sure don’t like the idiot that caused this mess nor his henchmen. I literally sat in front of the television last night, watching C-Span, and shed tears but I won’t be crying anymore. Bottom line: stick a fork in me ‘cause I’m done.

I’m not gonna play and I’m not gonna pay – nor will I ever accept what’s going on. So, that kinda leaves me waiting for a knock on my door telling me that one of the 18,000 new IRS agents the government now has to hire to enforce this healthcare piece of crap, has come to take me to prison.

It’s a strange thing to live over 70 years believing one lives in the greatest nation on earth and nothing like this can every happen – and then it does! Perhaps I’ve been very naïve in the past but like so many others; this whole thing was beyond my imagination. The American people made it absolutely clear we disapproved of this healthcare bill and DID NOT want it. The powers that be passed it anyway. That indicates to me that not one American voice makes a whit of difference to these people. They’ve put us in a pen, shut the gate and are now doing as they damn well please – and will continue.

I fought a good fight to prevent the healthcare bill and now I’m going to fight even harder to go against everything that’s in it. If anyone hears of a penny of my hard-earned money going into the pot for this thing be sure and send a sympathy card to my son because I’m dead and someone stole my purse!

Socialism -- First Step!

The big thing that has to happen for socialism to get a good hold is to control the middle class. That’s the biggest segment of the population and once they’re needy and dependent the rest is a piece of cake because they’re defeated. The middle class, as of passage of the healthcare bill, is now dependent. The snowball has been formed and it’s gonna get bigger and bigger. Unless I live to be 110 I’m not gonna be here to see all this transpire but transpire it will if it’s not stopped right now.

There’s nothing in the U.S. Constitution that says the government can force anyone to become a consumer of anything – that’s what’s happened. Yet if I refuse to buy-in the IRS can fine me, and eventually put me in prison, if I don’t change my sorry ways. Get the cuffs, boys – ain’t gonna happen. The sun will never rise on a day that I contribute a penny to fund abortion and that’s what this amounts to. It’s a fact – the president doesn’t have the authority to do what he promised these rubes, including the turn-coat Mr. Stupak, where abortion funding is concerned. The sorry, egotistical sucker just doesn’t have that much power – yet, at least! He can sign his name ‘til his pen runs dry and his mouth won’t open but that’s the way it is.

I understand some states, including my own Texas, have filed suit against the government claiming states rights and everything else. That will be interesting to watch and it will go on for a long time but it’s going to be business as usual in Washington, D.C. and one way or another they’re going to prevail – legally or illegally – whatever it takes. They’ve already done it!

As Americans we’ve always had majority rule in elections, etc. Trust me, dear hearts, I had to suck it up real good when this president took office but if he was the majority’s choice that’s just the way it was. No more! The majority of Americans did not want this healthcare bill and now they disapprove of the man sitting in the oval office and are very, very unhappy. Right there’s enough for me to quit going along with Washington, D.C. They are not speaking or acting for the majority of Americans and I’m one of that majority.

Forget it -- it ain't gonna happen!

It kinda boils down to where one stands – and so far, we can all still make that choice. I’m standing against this whole "Obamanation" we’ve got in Washington and not going to do one damned thing to aide and abet them. The sheep that want to join Obama’s flock can be led to slaughter on someone else’s dollar but not this old lady’s! If I wind up being the "uninformed" example so be it! So far anything I’ve gotten from the government I paid in and it’s gonna continue to be that way. If "pride cometh before a fall" looks like I’m in a downward spiral.

All things being equal; I really don’t think I’m standing out here alone.

Good on you sister...just another example of stuffing the wants down our throats...I like you "A fellow Rebel" at heart for standing ground which imposes unjust laws and rules in the way...

Angel, you are not alone, I hope the States that challenge this bill won't get bought off and we may still have a chance to defeat it. I have had some comments about the mid-term election and hope to punish Democrats who voted for this bill. Obama, made promises to those people, he had guaranteed passage of the Amnesty bill, which will add more than 12 million voters to the voter pool in time for the November election. Most of these Illegals are Mexican, and in return for amnesty they will vote for Democrats and above all They Will Vote!!! So my conservative friends, don't get to pumped up over a retaliation vote in November.

I don't pretend to know what will happen. It seems like previous things like LBJ's "Great Society" backfired on us. Usually the governments attempts to help us seem to make matters worse.

Thanks, Quill. I can't think of anything else to do but make a stand on this thing. Best, Sis

Hi Sandyspider -- yep, we're gonna pay and pay and pay -- or NOT! I'm a NOT! Thanks so much for stopping by! Best, Sis

You're right on, Great American. The illegals are standing in the wings for amnesty so they can vote for this socialistic agenda and the folks in Washington are going to accommodate them for that very reason. Pretty sorry state of affairs, huh? Thanks for your comments and you're right, as usual! Best, Sis

Dahoglund -- I only pray it will backfire on the Washington folks. Enough is enough and socialism isn't acceptable. Thanks so very much for your comments. Best, Sis

Yeah, what would they do if a major portion of us refused to pay. Send us all to jail. The thing is, it is the IRS that is going to collect, so you know their manners of collecting.

Keep on hubbing!

Angela Blair Hub Author 2 years ago

Thanks for stopping by and commenting Eovery. It's my thought if enough of us refuse to comply -- what are they gonna do? They've got to hire 18,000 (Dem's figures) new IRS folks before they can do anything! Best, Sis

Wonderful Hub! I haven't heard of anyone for this bill, and frankly, I can't see how "our" people could let it pass. I am just wondering why anyone would be for it. I wish they would come forth and tell us, because it seems like a load of BS and now what?

Angela Blair profile image

Angela Blair Hub Author 2 years ago

Hi Texasdaye - thanks for stopping by. The only one of our folks that voted for it was Eddie Berniece Johnson and that's self explanatory? The rest of our Texas guys turned thumbs down (even the Dems)! In fact, it was one of our guys that made the "baby killers" statement -- and this old woman says good for him. I wrote and congratulated him personally as there's no way we're not going to be paying for abortions -- except to just withdraw from the whole deal -- which I plan to do. Like I said, y'all may have to send me a card from time-to-time when the IRS guys come after me. Appreciate your comments and it's always good to hear from a fellow Texan! Best, Sis

Lets see ... this bill created jobs ... added 18,000 to the government payroll. It stimulates the economy ... we all have to buy insurance or, as an alternative contribute to the revenue at $1000 a year. We can also expect increased voter participation, 12 million worth, who can't be denied health care. And above all we have change we can believe in ... we all believe we're in a hopelessly downward spiral.

Keep on hubbing. If worse comes to worse, don't think of it as jail, think of it as free room and board, with benefits.

Angela Blair profile image

Angela Blair Hub Author 2 years ago

Welcome, Jim! That's the way I see it, too -- jail with benefits and I'm sure ready. I'm not just on a rant -- I intend to follow through with it. If there's enough other hard headed folks what's this "government" going to do -- put us all in jail? Guess we'll see! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Best, Sis

Angela-I am ANTI ABORTION and I am not paying for any of it--so I hope you and I are jail cell buddies because you got some dang good stories! Seriously--It is coming...the pain is a coming..maybe that is why they have all these jails opening up..for all of us who will refuse to go any further! I want to PUKE! Send me to jail--I can barely pay my bills now anyway...

See you there, Ghost -- I knew I couldn't be the only one with this attitude. All we can do is stand up for what we believe. Best, Sis

Al Sharpton said people who voted for Obama knew they were voting for socialism. That's not true. He was very careful to hide that. I didn't vote for him, but came close. And what I suspected has come true. This isn't socialism, it's worse. It's a government take-over. So now we have to be suspicious of everyone we send to Washington, and must send only those who are willing to tear apart this system.

Right on Sheila -- that's exactly what's happening and hopefully everyone is paying attention. Thanks for your astute comments. Best, Sis

I am glad I did not vote for Obama, too, but McCain wasn't a great option, either, for those of us against abortion ( Mrs. McCain is for abortion). I read a quote ( I don't remember the author only his wisdom) "Don't listen to Obama, watch his actions".

Angela Blair profile image

Angela Blair Hub Author 2 years ago

Hi Andrea -- agreed on McCain -- good quote on Obama. He looked like he'd swallowed a bug while he was signing the "no abortion" papers today. They're worthless so he shouldn't have looked so grumpy! Thanks for stopping by and your comments. Best, Sis

Well Sis, no one says it better. I have never seen anything quite like it. I am glad I am as old as I am but fear for my only child even though he is grown. It is going to be a mess and it is very fearful. I watched all of it and hoped something good would stop the mess. We all know it did not so now we pray for deliverance....somehow.

Great articles.

Can you even believe that this PASSED right through???

They didn't even know what was in there!!!

AND THE WORST???

This horrible death health care package DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PRESIDENT-NOR HIS CHILDREN NOR ANY AND ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SPECIAL TREATMENT HIGH UP THERE--YOU KNOW THE ONES THAT DONT HAVE TO PAY TAXES--OR EVEN INTEREST PENALTIES WHEN THEY ARE FOUND TO HAVE LIED AND NOT FILED FOR YEARS AND YEARS!! CORRUPTION! CORRUPTION! RIGHT IN OUR FREAKING FACES!!!

I THINK I WANT TO PUKE!!!

His SPECIAL WONDERFUL HEALTH CARE PACKAGE IS SO GREAT BUT IT IS NOT SO GREAT THAT NONE OF THEM HAVE TO HAVE IT!! HMMMMM IS THIS NOT A BIT OF TYRANNY OR WHAT???

Thanks for stopping by and the comments, Ictodd -- yep, it's the law. I agree with prayer as it's absolutely necessary now that we're all saddled with this burden. For me the bigger burden is that it's now been proven that the will of the people makes absolutely no difference at all to this administration as a majority of us flatly said no. A sad day for America but hopefully we don't bow down and quit as a nation. Best, Sis

Angela Blair profile image

Angela Blair Hub Author 2 years ago

Hi Ghost -- it's my firm belief that this healthcare bill is not the bottom line intent of this administration -- socialism is. Once they get amnesty in place for illegals they'll have enough votes to stay in office. Those of us who disagree need to get together and vote, vote, vote. There are those among us who are making some very ugly noises which I for one do not approve of. I nearly fear those people more than this administration! What a time we live in! Best, Sis

Our poor pitiful populace doesn't understand political systems, as you obviously do. The goal is truly to make everyone a ward of the state, which gives the state absolute power. Thank you for an excellent article, and for making a stand.

Thanks for the comments, James -- astute as always! Hopefully, there'll always be some of us that recognize the bottom line and refuse it! Best, Sis

I love your spunk and your attitude! People truly did not know that a vote for Obama was a vote for socialism - most of them were so busy being infatuated with his charisma that they didn't care who he really was. I too am strongly anti-abortion and it would kill me to have to pay for someone to kill their baby.

Thanks, Cari Jean -- looks like all we can all do now is stand up strong and wait for the other shoe to fall -- and it will. Best, Sis

Thanks for this one, Sis. I seriously considered joining you in the "go ahead and jail me, sucker" line, figuring I could write from behind bars, too. The ONLY reason for finally deciding otherwise is the pure dee fact that were I to go down, it would be a quick death sentence for my disabled wife...and likely for a few other folks, some of them possibly innocent, along the way.

By which I mean: Not just Pam's physical health, but her mental health, would suffer. No question, she would snap. She'd go postal. She'd understand why I did it, and join me in the effort, but knowing she couldn't survive prison, she'd crack.

Since I can't do that to her, we're going with Plan B, moving it up to Plan A. We've got just enough time to blow this thing back out of the water. I believe our side can take back both the House and the Senate this fall and the White House in 2012.

And our "dark hours" here in Arizona, that is, from about 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., have been and will continue to be utitlized for the writing of anti-Obama, anti-Hell Care, anti-Representative Gabrielle Giffords, and pro-Sarah Palin hubs. Seven days a week, every week of the month, every month of the year.

Live Free or Die.

Thanks for your comments, Ghost 32 -- and we're pulling the same load -- just approaching it from different directions due to circumstances! I hope we can get this bunch of idiots out of Washington come election time -- if not, I feel in my gut, we're doomed. Best to both you and Pam, Sis

Looks like we'll be seeing each other in prison -- but then, most of the folks I know feel the same way so there'll be enough of us for a card game or a picnic (do you get picnics in prison?) Thanks for your comments! Best, Sis
