O-Care: Top subsidized states are FL, CA, TX and —- NC !!!!! | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's note: Brant Clifton uses the words of others, in part, to remind us that ObamaCare is a dinosaur that needs extinction in his "bare knuckles" Conservative online publication known as The Daily Haymaker.

    That's right. Our license tags advertise us as "First In Flight." But, thanks to ObamaCare, we are speeding our way toward being "First In Dependence." Here are the ugly facts:

    North Carolina's political leaders may not like the Affordable Care Act, but a large and growing number of residents rely on it for health insurance.

    Only Florida, California and Texas have more people getting subsidized coverage than North Carolina, according to a new government report on 2015 enrollment.

    That report shows about 515,500 North Carolinians qualified for aid, an increase of about 190,000 over 2014.

    The meaning of the data will likely be debated as state and federal lawmakers wrangle over the act and the Supreme Court weighs a challenge to the subsidies in the Carolinas and 35 other states. [...]


    Statist politicians operate a lot like common drug dealing thugs who live on the corners and down the alleys. Get the suckers hooked, so they become dependent on you and it becomes really, really, really hard to kick the habit.

    The Republicans in Congress have walked right into a trap. They foresook a legislative offensive against ObamaCare - saying they would wait until their majorities were bigger and stronger. Now, they are telling us they will wait for the courts to strike it all down. Well, the Supreme Court case of King v. Burwell is upon us. The justices COULD strike down ObamaCare subsidies in this case. If - or when - that happens - we're talking about more than a half million Carolinians, currently wedded to ObamaCare and its subsidies, potentially losing their insurance. Their former policies have been trashed and cancelled. These people were thrown into a shotgun marriage with ObamaCare. And, now, thanks to the lack of courage by the alleged conservative party in DC, the GOP and Tea Party opponents of ObamaCare have been set up to take the hit for all of these people losing their health insurance coverage (if the court rules the right way).

    THIS is why there is all of this talk about "replacing" ObamaCare. We're likely to see some NEW big government albatross meant to "fix" health care rise from the ashes of all of this. You'd love to just shake some sense into these people in DC and tell them that it's not about doing something new, it's all about getting rid of a lot of the burdensome crap already on the books.

    Don't celebrate too much if the court does the right thing in the Burwell case. An expensive, nightmarish "replacement" for ObamaCare is just around the corner.

I am amazed the the US is the only Industrialized nation which lagged behind in doing some kind of public health system ~~~ and when we finally get it done Conservatives can't stop the bitch-grumble-moan.

Then you try to blame the instigators of AHC for costs running high. The components of healthcare (Hospitals / Pharma / Doctors / suing lawyers / etc.) which have multiplied at 4-5 times inflation have not yet had caps put on their excesses in cost!

What we now have is but a first step. The big money that backs big politics has not yet been addressed. If you are getting a rectal exam with a large lag bolt involved, it's NOT the government using it on you---IT IS EXCESS COST OF MEDICAL PROCDECURES AND TOO MANY SCARED TO GET SICK AND LET YOUR BODY WORK TO HEAL ITSELF.
