Do You Know How To Deal With Long-term Care Under Obamacare?

We face some dire changes in the world of health care. I want to share with you what to do to insulate yourself against the effects of Obamacare. I’m going to explain the Achilles Heel of Obamacare and why preparing for long-term care should be your top health care priority right now. Originally, we were told Obamacare would solve our long-term care problems. Then – in the shadows of the night – Congress passed and Barack Obama signed a complete repeal of the provisions in Obamacare intended to help families with long-term care.

The message from Washington is clear: You are on your own.

They don’t want to help and they have gone back on their pledge to help with long-term care.

In addition, Obamacare slashed funding to Medicare, a program passed with bipartisan support to help the elderly secure medical insurance. That’s bad news for all Medicare participants.

Congress has proposed many changes to the program, the worst of which is lower reimbursements to doctors for their services. This means more everyday care will be administered by nurses and practitioners – not doctors.

Look, Medicare reimbursements are already shamefully low. They barely cover doctor’s costs.

If payments are cut further, doctors could actually lose money when they treat some Medicare patients.

The next logical step is that doctors will refuse to treat Medicare patients at all.

I don’t mean to scare you. I know you’re probably already afraid of losing coverage or struggling to find participating physicians.

But this isn’t even the worst crisis of Obamacare.

Within the next year, practically all of the elements of Obamacare will have taken effect.

Obama Meets In Oval Office With Illegal Aliens

Barack Obama 8 SC Obama Meets In Oval Office With Illegal Aliens

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with three people at the White House Tuesday who are in the country illegally but received “deferred action” that allowed them to stay in the country under a memorandum issued by administration unilaterally last June in a memorandum issued by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

While conceding that she had no legal authority to change the “immigration status” of illegal aliens or provide them with a “pathway to citizenship,” Naoplitano said in a June 15, 2012 memo to the top officials at Customs and Border Patrol, Citizenship and Immigration Services, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, that she was directing them to use “prosecutorial discretion” in not enforcing the immigration laws against certain classes of immigration lawbreakers.

In all, Obama and Biden met with eight people advocating for comprehensive immigration reform on Tuesday, according to White House readout of the meeting. The White House readout of the meeting listed three of those as having received “deferred action.” Most others were legally in the United States with relatives who were illegal aliens.

“At the meeting, the president reiterated his commitment to passing a bipartisan, commonsense immigration reform bill this year,” the White House readout of the meeting said. “He made clear that while the current bill is not perfect, it does represent an important step towards the broad principles that need to be part of any immigration reform package.”

On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a reform bill to the full Senate. Supporters of the legislation call it a “pathway to citizenship.” Opponents call it “amnesty.”

IRS Scandal Reaches The White House

May 23, 2013 by 36 Comments

Obama calls Mubarak Oval Office Jan 2011 300x213 IRS Scandal Reaches the White House

The Washington Post narrative surrounding the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups is that it began as a scandal involving low-level employees at a Cincinnati office, the “Determinations Unit,” a natural outgrowth of an increase in political activity by these groups. This belies other reporting by the Post’s Fact-Checker, which indicates that there was little growth in the number of groups applying for tax-exempt status at the time the targeting occurred.

As more details come to light, responsibility for the IRS actions keeps moving up the ladder and has landed, at least in part, at the White House. Top-level White House staffers knew about the scandal before a manufactured apology was made to the public on May 10.

“The White House on Monday once again added to the list of people who knew about the IRS investigation into its targeting of conservative groups—saying White House chief of staff Denis McDonough had been informed about a month ago,” reported Reid J. Epstein for Politico on May 20. White House Chief Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler said she learned about the IRS scandal the week of April 22, but didn’t tell the President.

A public relations storm was brewing, but the public is supposed to believe that the President himself was kept in the dark. “Press secretary Jay Carney said again that no one had told President Barack Obama ahead of the first news reports: not his top aide McDonough, nor his chief counsel Kathy Ruemmler, nor anyone from the Treasury Department,” wrote Epstein. “Monday’s revelation amounts to the fifth iteration of the Obama administration’s account of events, after initially saying that the White House had first learned of the controversy from the press.” Epstein called this the White House’s “shifting” account.

When Politico and the Post’s Fact-Checker, Glenn Kessler, note that the President’s story doesn’t quite add up, you know there’s trouble.

Half Of America Wants Obama Impeached

May 22, 2013 by 12 Comments

Barack Obama speech 9 SC Half of America Wants Obama Impeached

Editor’s note: This is another in a series of “WND/WENZEL POLLS” conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.

The faux stone columns from his Denver acceptance speech are crumbling, the fireworks have fizzled and the unadulterated adulation of Barack Obama is a sour feeling of disillusion, as a new poll reveals half of America wants him impeached, including a stunning one in four Democrats.

“It may be early in the process for members of Congress to start planning for impeachment of Barack Obama, but the American public is building a serious appetite for it,” said Fritz Wenzel, of Wenzel Strategies, which did the telephone poll Thursday. It has a margin of error of 4.36 percent.

“Half or nearly half of those surveyed said they believed Obama should be impeached for the trifecta of scandals now consuming Washington.”

Actually, on the issue of the Benghazi scandal, where four Americans were killed when in what may have been a politically motivated series of moves, a surging danger to Americans at the foreign service facility there was ignored until al-Qaida-linked terrorists attacked, 50.1 percent of Americans said Obama should be impeached. That included 27.6 percent of the responding Democrats.

Barack Obama’s Long History Of Scandals–and Escapes

May 22, 2013 by 2 Comments

Barack Obama American flag SC Barack Obamas long history of scandals and escapes

The standard rule for handling bad news in politics is to get it all out at once. Take your hits for a news cycle, two or three. And then try to move on.

The conventional wisdom has been that the worst thing to do is allow the bad news to dribble out, poison drop by poison drop, for days, weeks, even months.

Yet that is precisely what Barack Obama has done — and continues to do in his current epidemic of embarrassments — over a decade of controversies and scandals. The amazing thing is, so far, it’s worked like a charm. So, why should he change?

Ignore it. Dismiss it. Dissemble it to death. Didn’t know about it. Point at others. Have others point at others. Have others suggest the criticism is really racial. Stay aloof. Stretch the whole thing out as long as possible. Then call every ensuing question old news, that you’ve discussed it many times. Hope the problem goes away.

And, by golly, usually it has for Obama.

Ex-Diplomats Report New Benghazi Whistleblowers With Info Devastating To Clinton And Obama

May 21, 2013 by 10 Comments

Hillary Clinton 9 SC Ex Diplomats Report New Benghazi Whistleblowers with Info Devastating to Clinton and Obama

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon.

These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law.

According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

The former diplomats inform PJM the new revelations concentrate in two areas — what Ambassador Chris Stevens was actually doing in Benghazi and the pressure put on General Carter Ham, then in command of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and therefore responsible for Libya, not to act to protect jeopardized U.S. personnel.

Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft.

Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.”

Obama Administration Spied On Fox News Reporter James Rosen: Report

May 20, 2013 by 6 Comments

Fox News channel SC Obama administration spied on Fox News reporter James Rosen: Report

The Justice Department spied extensively on Fox News reporter James Rosen in 2010, collecting his telephone records, tracking his movements in and out of the State Department and seizing two days of Rosen’s personal emails, the Washington Post reported on Monday.

In a chilling move sure to rile defenders of civil liberties, an FBI agent also accused Rosen of breaking anti-espionage law with behavior that—as described in the agent’s own affidavit—falls well inside the bounds of traditional news reporting. (Disclosure: This reporter counts Rosen among his friends.)

The revelations surfaced with President Barack Obama’s administration already under fire for seizing two months of telephone records of reporters and editors at the Associated Press. Obama last week said he makes “no apologies” for investigations into national security-related leaks. The AP’s CEO, Gray Pruitt, said Sunday that the seizure was “unconstitutional.”

The Obama administration has prosecuted twice as many leakers as all previous administrations combined.

“The president is a strong defender of the First Amendment and a firm believer in the need for the press to be unfettered in its ability to conduct investigative reporting and facilitate a free flow of information,” White House press secretary Jay Carney insisted last week. “He also, of course, recognizes the need for the Justice Department to investigate alleged criminal activity without undue influence.”

Why Rush Is Wrong On Obama Scandals

May 20, 2013 by 10 Comments

Rush Fox News 300x156 Why Rush is wrong on Obama scandals

Rush Limbaugh is taking a “whistling past the graveyard” approach to Barack Obama’s scandals. He is being very cautious about allowing himself to feel that some damage will be done to Obama when the dust from these scandals clears.

Rush even quotes James Carville’s liberal wishful thinking about this lasting “only 30 days” to help convince himself he’s right.  Nevertheless, Rush is wrong.

While there is no doubt that Obama won’t be impeached, as Rush allows that isn’t important. Saying there won’t be any damage to Obama his Party and their dangerous agenda is simply wrong.

These scandals will do the following:

When Rush is proved “right” and nothing “seems” to change, the fuse of a renewed TEA party revolution will be lit.

People will be reminded America isn’t supposed to be this way.

Democrats will remain on defense through the mid-term election cycle – you’re not winning when you are on defense.

More whistleblowers will come forward because those already out will be insulated from reprisals.  Fast and Furious can be revisited.  “He’s not a citizen” will get new life.  Conservative state legislatures will be embolden to pass more conservative laws and repeal  more liberal ones. Photo id to vote – think Boston bombing.  More sheriffs will sue Obama over gun control.  The IRS will be neutered.

It will force House Republicans to finally do their jobs or face an angry constituency willing to throw them out in many districts.  This will shift the leadership of Congressional GOP from RINOs to more conservative leaders.  It will set new standards for GOP candidates – collaborators need not apply.

This makes it far more likely the GOP will hold the House and regains the Senate.

It weakens Obama’s leverage to ram through his socialist programs.

It weakens Obamacare’s grip on us.

It will further infuriate average Americans being disadvantaged by Obama’s sequestration.

It will end gun control and immigration “reform efforts”.

It will make bringing the needed 5% of conservatives back to vote easier.

When most of Obama’s rank and file DO NOT turn on him the “us versus them” mindset needed for conservatives to stop pandering to Hispanics and Blacks, who will never vote Republican, will grow.

This will encourage “Atlas Shrugged” type passive resistance to government and more willingness to sue and fight the IRS giving rise to appeals of court losses to the IRS.

The coupling of the Gosnell case with the IRS attacks on pro-lifers on behalf of Planned Parenthood will cause these groups to redouble their efforts to stop abortions and enjoy previously unattainable successes in the courts and in public opinion.

These things will make having Obama around worth the trade.

Can America Endure Even More Obama Absurdities?

May 18, 2013 by 5 Comments

Obama Stopping For Directions Map To Recovery SC Can America Endure Even More Obama Absurdities?

The Tsarnaev brothers could have been deported the moment it was known that they returned to the country they sought asylum from (or when Tamerlan was arrested and convicted for domestic violence in 2009.) Neither brother was given the boot.

Fast forward to May 14, 2013, when the Romeike family of German homeschoolers are denied asylum by Barack Obama and his twiddling twin Eric Holder. The Sixth District Court of Appeals upholds the Obama Administrations decision.

Injustice, absurdity, incongruity, and perversity are just a few of the words that can be used to describe the nonsense of the aforementioned. Bombers are in, but good parents who are raising kids with world-class intelligence that soars above anything coming out of public schools are given the boot back to Germany.

The arguments that rage between liberals and conservatives were at one time only slight political disturbances that could be hashed out between men and women who loved America and would, after some debate, buckle down and do what was right for the country in the spirit of bipartisanship. That day is all but gone.

Now, the same government that wants to wrap up all the guns in the nation (and drop them into a place where oceanic reefs can start to grow on them) has successfully kept secret all the inner workings of the most deadly and stupid gunrunning scheme in U.S. history called ‘Fast and Furious.’ More than absurdity, that immense boondoggle cost Americans their lives.

Benghazi comes in next on the great three-ring line up, and culpability and responsibility are effectively being blown off by Obama and on down to the lowest echelons of our nation’s best prevaricators. The death toll for Americans has risen, not just in war or acts of terror, but by pure dumbfounding acts of absurdity.

As late as May 14, 2013, Press Secretary Jay Carney was found using the word “tragedy” to describe Benghazi. Perhaps a terrorist attack is a tragedy; but an order to ‘stand down’ after a call for help went out, coming from the Commander in Chief or any of his subordinates, is not a tragedy. It is an actionable decision that has repercussions and responsibilities firmly riveted all over it. Tragedy, no – absurdity, yes!

Looming, creeping but steadily approaching, is the stealthy but deadly snake in the grass we call ObamaCare.

One of the greatest teachings of the Bible is a theme that some of the best have used for centuries. It comes from the Apostle Paul and is found in the book of Romans.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8: 28)

Some people argue that this verse and the principle contained in it only work for those who “love God.” No one lives in an isolated world, and what happens to lovers of God affects the rest of the world (and the same is true of unbelievers.)

The point is that if the world (or more specifically those in this country) will not take heed to the moral decline that is all around us, there is one eye opener that believer and unbeliever alike cannot dismiss. When the pocketbook is hit hard enough, it can send shock all the way to the brain, if not the heart and soul of a people.

Mr. Obama’s endless excursions to the back green and Michele’s extravagant vacationing will all get a pass until the cupboard runs dry for the rest of America.

ObamaCare, failed green schemes, economic bailouts, and the general mishandling of the nation’s treasury will result in a reversal for our pop-culture prez quicker than any attack, scandal, or controversy. Not even the Teflon President can escape the principle of Romans 8: 28.

Until the great fiscal crash of our time arrives in full strength, we may have to endure yet more absurdities.

The militant wing of ObamaCare, the IRS, is already under pressure for its role in targeting conservative and Tea Party organizations. Franklin Graham, son of Evangelist Billy Graham, was targeted by IRS hawks, making it abundantly clear that Christian organizations are clearly seen as a threat to the liberal agenda. Obama is shocked by the scandal and knew nothing about it. Perhaps, but would he have cared – if he did know – in an election year?

The other military (under the Pentagon) has opened up to pink power while fending off those filthy-mouthed and dangerous Christian witnesses and gospel preachers.

Pot smoking in public is OK in two new states, so liberals can at least sleep and snack more, thus freeing up time for patriots and conservatives to save what little may be left of America.

Barack asked God to bless Planned Parenthood at the same time Kermit Gosnell was on trial for brutally murdering babies in Pennsylvania. Moral absurdity seems obvious here, but not to Barack Obama.

Absurdities make for exuberant and heightened conversation and debate; but when there is no money for bare essentials, the rap will dry up instantly. The ‘good’ according to Romans 8: 28 (an awakening of conscience) will then start to come forth like the squeezing of the lemon, so sour – but so necessary.

Barack Just Never Around When Bad Things Happen

May 18, 2013 by 5 Comments

2016 Obama SC Barack just never around when bad things happen

AWOL Commander in Chief

During the Benghazi murders, instead of taking charge, Mr. Obama went into hiding, the various military elements having to stand down because the occupant of the White House was afraid to make decisions. During a Senate hearing, then Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta testified that neither Obama nor anyone else from the White House had contacted the Defense Department or the Pentagon during the attack to find out what was going on. This is not the behavior of a leader, but of a coward. As always, Obama pleads ignorance to distance himself from anything that may make him look bad. He has already claimed to know nothing of the IRS targeting of conservative groups or the tapping of AP phone lines. Having the FBI investigate these events will enable the president to duck any questions because there is an “ongoing investigation.”

Cover-up

The Benghazi “talking points” were changed for a number of reasons, among them to hide Obama’s ineptness and Hillary’s Clinton’s incompetence. The people involved in the creation of the false narrative were more concerned about protecting their careers than the fate of fellow Americans being murdered in Libya. On a positive note, at least a few people told the truth. Yet, to the low information voter, this is “much ado about nothing”. When Americans accept mediocre, indeed criminal performance from their leaders, they will have to accept the inevitable downfall of a once great nation, starting with the denigration of the forces that protect America and its allies. Honorable Executive branch careerists are too few, which is why Americans are being killed as the Nation’s protectors are told to stand down.  Americans are not safe with this administration.

Constitution

Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution says: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States. As President, Mr. Obama neglected his duty to protect the American Ambassador and others who were under attack for seven hours. When congressional investigators get too close to the truth, the entire issue will be declared off limits due to “Executive privilege.”

In his entire career, Barack Obama has never accepted the responsibility of making decisions; rather, he avoids it. In an actual crisis, the community organizer runs and hides. The American people should know where the White House occupant was while his employees were being killed. How can he be trusted if America or our allies are ever attacked?
