Obama's Four Pinocchio Piccadilo

When the president makes a lawyerly comment, it’s time to start looking for the trap door, no 'Four Pinocchios' intended. Yeah, right! With all of the expressed concerns about the Federal (Un) Affordable Care Act, the actual law ignores the indispensable parallels focused on how medicine happens when it's between a doctor and his patient. A government insurance program with 'allowable procedures' steps in between them to dissuade or bar doctors from ordering tests, drugs, procedures or therapies designed to effectively fully treat their patients--Hello, 'Death Panels.'

According to Kathleen Sebelius, the HHS Secretary herself, up to 10 million and more patients' insurance coverage plans are not inclusive with comprehensive coverage compliance to current ACA Patient guidelines. The ACA coverage plan rollout also obfuscates the 'grandfather clause' or 'keep your own policy' Obama promise for existing policies to remain in force. If policies do not contain all the ACA mandated universal coverage inclusions, the private plans are deemed unsuitable, then terminated and shifted over into Federal Insurance exchanges.

Some states have made it illegal for individuals to purchase any insurance policies outside those Federal  insurance exchanges, thereby doing away with free market choice, period.

If an individual's plan includes more benefits than the ACA mandated coverage, it is considered a 'Cadillac' plan.

• Individuals are taxed, period.
  

• Unions and large corporation employees are 'tax exempt.'

Some other 'special individuals' have privileged coverage with waivers and exemptions.

• Students, up to 26 years old living at home.

• Members of a “federally-recognized Indian tribe,” This is in part because the Indian Health Service offers government-run health care to such tribes.
  

• Members of a “recognized religious sect or division,” as specified in Section 1402(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, are also exempt.
  

The Internal Revenue Code exempts an individual from certain taxes if he is “a member of a recognized religious sect or division thereof and is an adherent of established tenets or teachings of such sect or division by reason of which he is conscientiously opposed to acceptance of the benefits of any private or public insurance which makes payments in the event of death, disability, old-age, or retirement or makes payments toward the cost of, or provides services for, medical care,” including Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Your “sect” has to have been in continuous existence since December 31, 1950, and the Commissioner of Social Security must agree that your sect “has the established tenets or teachings” consistent with opposition to medical benefits.

• Amish who refuse and choose self-reliance on church providence.

• Muslims, are exempt? - Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking", and "usury" and is thus banned under Shira Law.  See NOTE*
  

IRS Code  Section 1402(g)(1) states Muslims are not exempt from the AFA mandate because they accept payments of Social Security, medicare and medicaid insurance.  

*NOTE: While there are some on the Internet who believe that this religious exemption applies to Islam. Sorry, but the exemption is meant for groups like the Amish.

So if you hate the individual mandate—join the Amish or an Indian tribe!

So what is in the Obama 'End-Game' here?  Some are specifically granted exemptions based on waivers, so then who pays for the Affordable Healthcare Act medical bills? What happens if the AHA implodes as it becomes too burdensome without everyone in it? A 'Single-Payer' system - socialized medicine?  Is unbridled Federal power - a Communistic state in the plans?  Hmmn.... Read the 'Cloward-Pivan Strategy,' Barack Obama's studied it along with Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky as a community organizer activist.

Over the years a multitude of politically determined agendas have made their way into the heart of the liberal arts curriculum at Columbia University, New York City. Entire departments and numerous courses have ceased to observe any scholarly discipline, instead turning inward to excite and outward to activate an attitude promoting social injustice into a frenzy creating liberal causes that lead to public unrest, and to whose questionable benefit?

First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists. Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the 'Cloward-Piven Strategy' seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
