MICKIE-D SAVED BY "THE DEAL"

Hey, read my post from 10-2 re. McDonald's mini-med policies. Here's the follow up.

Today Obama announced that 30 businesses will get a 1-year exemption from portions of Obamacare. McDonald's is one of the "chosen," the "exempt."

Good for you if you work for one of the chosen companies, but too bad, so sad if you work for any of the other thousands of companies who will be forced to comply with all Obamacare rules.

Right now it's a crap shoot if you are not a chosen employer. You are at the mercy of Obama and Kathleen Sebelius, waiting for them to decide what they like and whom they want to favor.

And what happened to the "lie" we were told that Obamacare would "level the playing field?" This exemption creates exactly what Obama claimed was a problem - an unequal playing field. What does he think this does??

Oh, yes, and there's the administration's promise that if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance. What they didn't tell you is that you can only keep it as long as they allow for "exemptions" from Obamacare. Listen up, Folks, the exemptions granted today are only good for ONE YEAR. Then it is back to the rules.

This just goes to show what can happen when people with absolutely nil experience in anything decide they can govern an industry better than the industry can govern itself.

And this is just the beginning of the spreading malignancy known as Obamacare.

Congratulations, McDonalds and 29 other companies. You just shafted the rest of us.

SHUT UP OR YOU ARE OUT OF BUSINESS

It's pretty evident that the Obama administration is getting very testy over criticism of Obamacare. They are tiring of the griping about the new law by the companies that the law will eventually put out of business. Yesterday HHS Sec Kathleen Sebelius offered to expedite the out-of-business process for those companies who don't shut their mouths.

Sebelius warned the insurance industry that the administration won't tolerate blaming premium hikes on Obamacare. She wrote a letter to the insurance lobby stating, "There will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and unjustified rate increases."

She further wrote, "Simply stated we will not stand idly by as insurers blame their premium hikes on the requirement that they provide consumers with basic protections." Whom does she think is supposed to pay for the mandated "basic protections?" Santa Clause?? The Tooth Fairy?? The Easter Bunny?? Oh, I forgot, the ubber rich in America.

She warned that "bad actors" may be excluded from new health insurance markets that will open in 2014 under the law. They'd lose out on a big pool of customers, something like 30 million people nationwide. In other words, SHUT UP OR LOSE YOUR BUSINESS!

What law gives her the right to threaten businesses with black listing them if they don't shut up? Or maybe she is acting at the behest of Mr. Obama, the thin skinned phony in the White House.

Rarely has a Cabinet official told American companies to stay out of political debates at the risk of losing their businesses. Obama and his administration have put themselves in a position where politicians can actually destroy a business out of spite. So businesses beware, don't get on the "bad side" of the Obama shipwreck.

I guess Hope and Change means keeping your mouth shut, pretend everything Obama does is okey dokey, and put on a Happy Face as businesses and jobs rapidly disappear.

VOTE IN NOVEMBER, AND PRAY FOR REPEAL!
