FREE ISN'T FREE!

What do you think when you hear the word "free?" If you are like me you know that NOTHING is FREE, EVER. So when Obama says your health care under Obamacare is "free" you can bet it isn't.

What he doesn't tell you is that you will be paying for 100% of your preventative services up front in the form of increased premiums. Are you one of the millions of Americans who has received a health insurance premium increase? Well, one reason is the "free" preventive care. Another is the "free" diagnostic care. Another is insuring kids on their parent's policies until the age of 26. And the biggest reason? The elimination of lifetime caps. Obamacare says to insurance companies, you MUST pay all bills, no matter what, for a lifetime. Therein lies the biggest reason your premiums have gone up and will continue to go up.

Think about it. If your car insurance or home owners insurance suddenly had no caps those premiums would rise dramatically too. If you subscribe to cable TV and pay for 25 channels your cable company cannot suddenly say channels 23, 24 and 25 are free. You are already paying for them. Good grief, Washington must think Americans are too stupid to figure it out.

The insurance companies are currently operating on a 4% net profit margin. That is not an unreasonable percentage for a business. But when they have to cover all of the mandates in Obamacare the money has to come from somewhere. The insurance companies cannot cover everything and still make their measly 4% profit. When you get more coverage, you have to pay more. The Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny simply do not exist.

According to Obama's own projections your premiums are going to soar much higher than if Obamacare had not passed, and this is going to happen until 2019 and into the stratosphere.

And guess what? Many Congressmen and Senators who voted for Obamacare are now acting surprised by what is happening with premiums. They are trying to distance themselves from Obamacare. They are claiming they didn't know about the premium increases.

But don't fall for their false pretenses of "ignorance." They were warned by the Congressional Budget Office last March, BEFORE they voted for the bill, that it would dramatically raise premiums.

They knew they were voting to take money out of your pocket and despite a massive outcry from Americans against the bill, they voted for it anyway. They stepped all over us.

November is coming. Don't forget what they did to us on Election Day.

LIFE IN THE ER, THE WAY IT REALLY IS

Just received a message from a friend of mine whose family has had more than one ER experience this summer. I am quoting the latest experience exactly as it was reported to me by a mother who took her child to the ER. For privacy reasons I have edited the child's name and the city where this happened. Let me just say, though, this was not a city in a border state or anywhere near a border state.

This is an ER in Middle America in the age of open borders.

EXACT WORDS AS I RECEIVED THEM

FROM A 100% RELIABLE SOURCE

"It was frustrating at the ER Sunday night with (our child). We had to wait almost 5 hours because the waiting room was filled with Mexican couples and their babies/toddlers. None of the kids were crying or even looked sick. Most were running around playing. Wasn't this an EMERGENCY room? I wondered if they were using the ER like a regular doctor's visit. Everyone was speaking Spanish, including some of the employees at (the hospital). All the magazines were in Spanish and so was the television show. I felt like I was in a different country. And I bet none of them had to pay $150 deductible to be treated, like I had to. Plus I'll have to pay 10% of all other charges. Wish I could get in on some of that "free" health care. We pay $1600/month plus our out-of-pockets are ridiculous. Oh well, I know I'm making a LOT of assumptions here. It was just bizarre."

This is likely going on in ERs all over America. And guess who's paying the bill?

Our gutless government just hasn't been telling us the truth about this. They'd rather leave the border porous and buy the Hispanic vote than to save our economy.

But Now We Know The Truth.
