This came from a very disgruntled American. It is a long read but I believe every open-minded American will appreciate it. Now I already expect repercussion from the left-wing dingbats but that is to expected, is it not?
I am a 54 year old consulting engineer and make between $60,000 and $125,000 per year, depending on how hard I work and whether or not there are work projects out there for me.
My girlfriend is 61 and makes about $18,000 per ear, working as a part time mail clerk. Enough to --ss a guy off, They are robbing us blind. And with out law an order especially when the law are the crooks thr is nothing we can do about it.
For me, making $60,000 a year, under Obamacare, the cheapest, lowest grade policy I can buy, which also happens to impose a $5,000 deductible, costs $482 per month.
For my girlfriend, the same exact policy with the same deductible, costs $1 per month.
Don't believe me? just go to "
www.coveredca.gov" which is the Obamacare website for California and enter parameters I've mentioned and see for yourself. BTW, my zip code is 93940. You'll need that to enter.
So OK, clearly Obamacare is a scheme that involves putting the cost burden of healthcare on the middle and upper income wage earners. But there is a lot more to it. Stick with me.
I live in Monterey County, in Central California. We have a large land mass but just 426,000 residents-about the population size of Colorado Springs or Omaha.
But we do have a large Hispanic population, including a large number of illegal aliens, and to serve this group, we have Natividad Medical Center, a massive, federally subsidized county medical complex that takes up an area about 1/3 the size of the Chrysler Corporation Automobile Assembly plant in Belevedere, Illinois. Natividad has state-of-the-art oprating rooms, Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, fully equipped 24 hour emergency rooms, and much more. And medical attention here is essentially full because almost everyone who winds up here is uninsured.
Last year, 2,735 babies were born at Natividad. 32% of these were born to out-of-wedlock teenage mothers, 93% of which were Hispanic. Less that 20% could show proof of citizenship, and 71% listed their native language as Spanish. Of these 876 births, only 40 were covered under any kind of private health insurance. The taxpayers paid for the other 836. And in case you are wondering about the entire 2,735 babies that were born here, less than 24% involved insured coverage or even partial payment on behalf of the patient to the hospital in exchange for services.
Now consider this. If I want to upgrade my policy to a low- deductible premium policy, such as what I had with my last employer, my cost will be $886 per month. But my girlfriend can upgrade her policy for just $4 per month. A total of $48 per year for a zero-deductible, premium health care policy- the kind you get when you work for IBM (except when you work for IBM your healthcare for this type policy runs from $170 per month or more, not $4 per month.
This is my aside... Is there any wonder that so many have dropped out of the job market? We that kept working are the fools because if we had jumped on the bandwagon when Lyndon Johnson started making it so lucrative to become bums we would not have to worry about anything at all now. Just think! Our food would be paid for, our housing paid for, our utilities paid for, our medical would cost us less that a carton of cigarettes a month, we would have a free telephone with ample minutes paid for each month, Our children would get a free clothing allowance each year, we would get a check each month and we would never have to worry about getting laid off from work because we would never have to worry about the degradation of working at a mean old job.
Aren't the Democrats kind to bums?
