Obama's Orwellian Roots - '1984' Math Lesson
In George Orwell's '1984' it says, "Two and Two are Five."
George Orwell's '1984' dystopian classic is a disturbing novel describing cataclysmic decline in our society; a debilitating dystopia so totally undesirable as an extreme opposite of utopia. "Two and Two are Five." It represents how the power of 'Big Brother' can corrupt whatever reality it deems fit. While being tortured, the novel's main character, Winston Smith, was repeatedly directed to accept Big Brother's omnipotence by being forced to admit 2 plus 2 are equal to whatever he was told it would be; but he constantly resisted. Ultimately, however, Winston eventually yields to Big Brother altering reality with humankinds' perception of it.
Although this novel was written almost sixty-five years ago, it eerily depicts what is happening domestically in the United States today--witness the powerful, intrusive Federal Government interdictions, i.e, NRA spying, IRS watch lists, USDOJ investigations and DHS surveillances. Officially mandated U.S. agency regulations have been usurped under the Obama administration. They have been turned against the public to illegally monitor people, track activities, collect data and harass dissidents--this is '1984' in real time mode.
The Affordable Care Act - "Two and Two are Five."
Our Federal government wants us to believe that the Affordable Care Act is like two and two are five. Again, it does not add up and the only thing that does add up here is just more Federal deficit spending by a socialist Progressive President pushing Nationalized healthcare.
President Obama originally said, "No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."
President Obama new addendum, ...."as long as the plans hadn’t changed since ObamaCare was signed into law you are grandfathered in on that plan. But if the insurance company changes it [in order to match ACA Guidelines], then what we're saying is they have got to change it to a higher standard [ACA Guidelines inclusive/more coverage option standards regardless of each individual needs or ability to pay]. They've got to make it better." [ACA Guidelines knows better than enrollees what insurance plan accordingly is their ideal enrollee options coverage.]
