Freedom Outpost
Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act, was passed as a claim to history signature legislation for the illegitimate man occupying the People’s House. It was signed into law three years ago today. The unconstitutional take-over of the health care insurance industry by our government has produced controversy across all divides existing in America today. One fact is, however, undeniable; nowhere in the Constitution is the power of mandating health care insurance granted to Congress or any portion of the federal government.
Putting aside the unconstitutional argument against Obamacare, the government has had three years to implement a website, issue regulations to mandate certain coverage requirements, including abortion and maternity care, and work with insurance exchanges and companies on a prescription drug formulary so individuals could make informed choices on plans that best suit their overall needs. Within that timeframe and the over one billion dollar price tag just for the website alone, one would think this entire system was complete, comprehensive and turn-key ready. Unfortunately, it has been anything but ready for consumer participation as evidenced by problems exposed since the October roll-out.
The insurance exchange website has beenriddled with problems. Those enrolling have had difficulty paying their premiums. Insurance companies cannot confirm enrollment or coverage resulting in patients carrying the burden for the entire cost of their care such as happened to a man in Nevada. Numerous individuals have seen their current policies canceled and are now uninsured. Costs for the Obamacare policies have been exposed as unaffordable and the intimation of “rationing of care” and “death panels” have taken away the basic right of an individual to choose their care. Now, it seems that Obamacare is bringing a new unaffordable problem to light – the cost of certain prescription drugs.
