Ready for a Obamacare Single Payer System?

 

*Federal Spending Categories – The data is published by the Congressional Budget Office, and represents the average percentage of federal spending (not including interest expense) in each of the indicated categories for the period 2011-2040. As of 2011, our actual budget 'overall discretionary spending' is 30%, which can be argued back and forth within the colorful political debates on the floor of Congress. However, our 'total mandatory spending' is 70%, mandated by law, in which 40% are Medicare and Social Security entitlements while 20% are apportioned for the Department of Defense and the Veteran's Affairs, Education and agriculture and 10% for SNAP - Food stamps and Medicaid. It is not a negotiable budget with discretionary expenses and is extremely volatile to political pressures from various special interest lobbyist groups in Washington, DC.

Please note the shift from 2011 Actual Budget period ended compared to the 2011-2040 Projected Budget pie chart shown above that indicates even more allocation to Social Security for an ever-aging population. This is where the House and Senate must work out a 'balanced budget' under our Constitutional Laws - one that both sides can finally agree upon.

The Wild Card: Affordable Healthcare Act - Obamacare is not a funded entitlement program like Medicare. Under penalty of IRS law: It is taxed and paid annually by all citizens under 65 years old for funding comprehensive health insurance coverage for all patients.

Three Affordable Healthcare Act outcomes:

1. Taxpayers fund the entire Act going forward. 

2. Taxpayers do not fund the Act entirely while running a deficit.

3. Taxpayers fail to fund Act which is converted into 'Single Payer'.

Warning: If the Affordable Healthcare Act payments from enrollee taxes fail to fund that entire program; then upon the conversion to any proposed 'Single Payer Health Care' program, all congressional budgets are bankrupt and worthless too.

Remember: The Congressional debt reduction and spending budget debates are generational due to different time horizons (age) and expected benefits (payouts). The young payers are ordered to pay higher rates under penalty of law for their IRS health tax bills to support older beneficiaries. All future payouts for their own retirement benefits, theorectically, will be paid by upcoming younger health care payers. Young payers, the 'invincibles', are very skeptical about even needing health insurance and then doubt in ever receiving those retirement benefits too.   

• Older people look at their immediate needs from retirement savings, social security, Medicare and healthcare programs.
• Younger people look at their future needs for IRA savings accounts, investments, health insurance while planning ahead with social security and Medicare programs.

Recommendation: It's time to elect a majority of Republicans in the Senate and the House in 2014 ...and for the President not working across the Congressional aisles: In the Executive branch - it's time for a  Republican there in 2016 too!

So, how do you cook frogs? -- Put them in water of a frying pan, heat up slowly ...and before they know it ...they're cooked!

What's up for 2014?

Obama and Democrat progressives will move further left to shove the United States people into socialism like the European nations. We are sinking more into the financial abyss created by more government programs. Our national debt will be $20 Trillion and climbing after the debt ceiling is raised again in the upcoming session of Congress -- and that's just for starters as the 2014 economy heads downward raising unemployment, interest rates, inflation and housing foreclosures. -- These issues all conveniently stick out like a sore thumb after the 2014 midterm elections, so really focus on those important races for Governors and state legislators turning over into Red states, we need more Republican politicians at your state levels to make a real difference where people live, it's not just about Washington DC politics.

The major provisions of Obamacare are in effect now. What can we now expect?More people will wake up from their sleep and find that they are expected to do as the federal law mandates: You MUST buy insurance or pay a fine.  As of March 1 it is $95 or 1% gross income; 2015 it is $325 or 1% gross income; or 2016 it is $695 or 1% gross income -- whichever is higher.

The secret surprise is the final insurance premium cost if too few people join Obamacare during the 2014 open enrollment period -- or too few healthy people -- insurers may choose to drop out of the marketplace. Ring! Ring! -- Hello? ...Reality check calling! In Obama's program, it was ingenious to put on the backs of young people the burden to pay the most to cover the least for them and in reality give benefits mostly to the costly older patients. This formula makes it cheap, therefore affordable and available to a larger group of patients, but it is still not sustainable long-term. Then, why have it?

The obvious answer to that and another key question whether young people will buy it at all is a foregone conclusion from the beginning -- of course not! They will initially balk at the expensive plans with poor coverage, insurers will drop out and the whole program will fall apart. It leaves only one option left to choose which is Obama's whole end of game plan all along. It was to somehow force on the backs of taxpayers a government "single payer" or "socialized medicine" program for a wealth redistribution scheme. Is it going to work?

Obama has succeeded by passing his Affordable Care Act in the senate and obtained Supreme Court sanctions. Obamacare has exploded and destroyed the private healthcare insurance system and by October 2014 insurers cannot offer any "non-compliant" insurance plans so deemed by the government, thereby eliminating competition in all individual private plan choices. So next, Obamacare will implode and destroy itself due to low plan participation which creates a massive vacuum. Since Americans have no private health plans then, the only immediate political fix is a Federal Healthcare Single Payer System -- Socialized Medicine. See who in Congress tries to rush Single Payer System bills on both sides - Vote those bums out!
