Health Care Reform - Obamacare

The New Gatekeepers?

Will “the covered” receive care? Our health care coverage certificates may soon look and feel like the American dollar:  a piece of paper backed by nothing. Just like there is no gold backing the U.S. dollar, so there may be no care backing the “coverage guaranteed” certificate you receive under Obamacare’s universal coverage program.

CCHF Evidence of Federal Control over State Exchanges

The Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF, www.cchfreedom.com) has discovered a newly created federal system of records. The system, called the “Health Insurance Exchange Program,” was finalized by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on March 6, 2013 and will house much of each state’s health insurance exchange information, including personally identifiable information, private health data, employment and insurance data, and qualified employer information in a single, federal records system.

The Battle for America

The battle over Obamacare is bigger than health care. It's about whether we'll be a free nation of free people or whether government will rule over our lives and determine our value. Three years after Obama's health reform bill became the so-called "law of the land," it's nowhere close to being accepted as such.

Democrats are Worried

Two pollsters, who call themselves "lifelong Democrats," sound the alarm in POLITICO, saying the president is "determined to pursue a partisan agenda — the country be damned." Former Clinton pollster, Douglas Schoen and former Carter pollster, Patrick Caddell warn:
