By: Diane Benjamin Did you know Dick Durbin was one of the rogue Democrats who voted to reopen government? Either he was terrified of Republicans voting to abolish the filibuster or he decided to do the right thing since he’s not running for re-election. Of course Krystle Able would show her outrage by quoting the […]
By: Diane Benjamin . ObamaCare didn’t work? Of course it didn’t because government isn’t capable of managing healthcare. Doctors were forced to work for corporations instead of being independent. As predicted before Democrats passed it, doctor shortages now exist. Add we now have 10-15 million illegals competing with Americans for healthcare. Isn’t theirs free? One […]

By: Diane Benjamin Some months ago a presentation at a Bloomington City Council meeting talked about the ObamaCare Luxury Tax and how the City might be hit with HIGH penalties. Some of the aldermen had never heard of it. From this link: money.cnn.com/2015/12/18/news/economy/obamacare-cadillac-tax/ The tax has been delayed because people subject to the tax have […]
By: Diane Benjamin Tonight the Bloomington City Council will consider changing providers for Employee Health Insurance.

by: Diane Benjamin Yes, today is supposedly the last day to enroll in ObamaCare. The media tells people armageddon will occur if you don’t comply and Get Covered. Here’s the truth: You will NOT have to pay penalties unless you get a tax refund! You won’t get a bill, the IRS won’t put a lien […]

Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana is running a Facebook ad in an attempt to save her seat from slaughter in the 2014 election. The Affordable Care Act isn’t perfect, but its hope and promise are certainly something worth fighting for.

by: Diane Benjamin The name of the benefits provider isn’t important, but you should know this is a non-profit insurance provider. Stated in the Benefit Information notice is this: It’s been more than 5 years since co-payments were last increased for prescription drug benefits, and even longer for most deductible and out-of-pocket maximums. The notice […]
From: Congressman Steve Stockman This is an actual Obamacare ad. Democrats have somehow turned sex into a government entitlement.
Putting things in perspective: March 21, 2010 to October 1, 2013 is 3 years, 6 months, 10 days. December 7, 1941 to May 8, 1945 is 3 years, 5 months, 1 day. What this means is that in the time we were attacked at Pearl Harbor to the day Germany surrendered is not enough time […]
by: Diane Benjamin Yes death panels exist, and yes Obamacare takes $78 billion out of Medicare. If you still don’t believe ObamaCare is meant to limit healthcare for the “non-contributing” members of society, then why would Benedictine University hold a conference on Preventing Stealth Euthanasia? Fundamental Transformation. Die already!
by: Diane Benjamin This information was sent to me. I blocked out the company name, it’s not important. The Affordable Care Act affects everyone in America – get ready.

The website doesn’t work, the cost isn’t affordable, the penalty is MUCH less, the deductibles mean the insurance will probably never pay out a dime – but the people exposing the truth are “shady groups”?

by: Diane Benjamin The Democrats called Republicans terrorist, hostage takers, and many other vile names when the GOP wanted to delay the implementation of ObamaCare.

by: C Steven Tucker Back on August 3rd, 2013 I wrote a piece exposing what I stated then will soon happen to millions of Americans if we do not support the Tea Party and Republican lead effort to defund Obamacare.

How much are the penalties for not buying a health plan? The penalties are not very high to begin with. In 2014, the fine to remain uninsured is $95 per person (up to a family maximum of $285, or 1 percent of family income, whichever is greater). But the penalty will increase more than sevenfold […]
This chart appeared shortly after the bill passed. It wasn’t complete. Imagine what it looks like now. Test: Find the death panels, they are there. Click on the picture to enlarge. Obviously this isn’t about improving healthcare, it’s about controlling you.

by: Chris Banescu It’s finally dawning on liberals, leftists, and progressives that conservatives were telling the truth when they warned about the fundamental problems and dangers of The ‘Affordable’ Care Act (ObamaCare).

Kurt Schlichter | Sep 23, 2013 I have to admit that the Congressional GOP’s Obamacare defunding strategy has me a little nervous – mostly because it just might work. When the GOP does something clever, I start looking for the other three horsemen of the apocalypse. Designing a strategy starts with understanding the ends you seek. Sure, […]

House GOP Leaders Prepare “Hug It Out” Strategy to Fund Obamacare. Eric Cantor is always looking for new and imaginative ways to screw conservatives.
