A new guest post by Betsy McCaughey

Here's How the Impending ObamaCare Disaster Affects You 

/>

You've been focused on the outrageous criminal conduct 

of Hillary and Bill now being revealed by 
WikiLeaks [aka: FBI/NSA/DIA]. 

Betsy lays out the issues we face if Trump 
is defeated and unable to repeal ObamaCare.

  Read this expose' and see how you will be affected.

This election is also a referendum on the Affordable Care Act. Almost everyone in America is affected. Contrary to what ObamaCare’s defenders claim, the law is hurting millions more people than it’s helping. Hillary Clinton defends it and wants to “build on it.” Donald Trump is promising to “repeal and replace the disaster known as ObamaCare.”  It’s probably our last chance. “Disaster” sums up the skyrocketing premiums and lack of choice facing many of the 11 million people enrolled in the exchange plans. The plans are unaffordable, unless you’re a low earner getting a free ride. ObamaCare enrollees aren’t the only people being clobbered.  If you get insured at work — as 155 million people do — your deductibles are up a staggering 49 percent since 2011 thanks to ObamaCare. Part-timers are working fewer hours, so business owners can avoid the law’s employer mandate. Taxpayers are on the hook for some 50 new taxes. Seniors get hit the hardest.  More than half of ObamaCare’s costs are paid for by cutting Medicare, resulting in stingy care for seniors. Here’s how ObamaCare affects you: Insured through work?  The law forces employers to provide a one-size-fits-all benefits package costing much more than pre-ObamaCare coverage. The law also imposes a slew of new taxes.  No surprise, employers are offsetting these costs by raising deductibles and reducing family coverage.  In 2017, many companies will eliminate insurance for spouses. Working part-time? Hundreds of thousands of workers have had their hours cut because ObamaCare requires employers to cover full-time employees, meaning those working 30 hours a week or more.  Ironically, colleges, where Democrats outnumber Republicans, are major culprits, slashing hours for adjuncts and student workers to avoid providing insurance. Job-hunting?  ObamaCare dampens the job market.  In New York, 17 percent of service companies and 21 percent of manufacturers are reducing their workforces to stay below 50 full-time workers and dodge the employer mandate, according to the New York Federal Reserve.  Sixty-five or older? ObamaCare awards bonus points to hospitals that spend the least per senior.    [Now a policy at VA]  Researchers found that at 231 hospitals getting bonuses for low spending, seniors died needlessly because of inadequate care. For example, seniors having heart attacks were forced to wait too long for angioplasties and died before they could get the procedure. ObamaCare emergency-room rules slap seniors with bills for “observation care.” You’re in the hospital, but you’re not officially “admitted.” It’s a cost-cutting gimmick.  When it’s time to go home, Medicare doesn’t pay and you’re stuck with a huge tab.

A Physician?

Thank ObamaCare for the thousands of pages of new regulations dictating how you treat your Medicare patients. Precious minutes that could be spent talking to a patient are wasted filling out tedious, repetitive government forms. 

Physicians are glued to computer screens, following prompts instead of making eye contact with their patients and listening to them.

Refusenik? 

If you’re uninsured and refuse to buy ObamaCare, the average penalty is $995 per adult, $500 per child. Ouch.

Clinton promises voters that she’ll make ObamaCare better with billions of dollars of extra spending. 

1. But she’s not going to remove the mandates causing people to lose work hours or their jobs. 
2. As for the regulations suffocating doctors, count on Hillary to pile on more.
3. Worst of all, Clinton wants to expand Medicare to people in their 50s.          
4. Seniors are already having a hard time finding a doctor to treat them for Medicare’s low rates. 
5. Adding millions of “50-somethings” trying to see the same doctors will make it impossible to get an appointment.

Trump knows ObamaCare has to be junked

His plan eliminates the unaffordable mandates and penalties. Consumers will choose from a wide variety of plans, sold across state lines, with special help for people with pre-existing conditions.

Trump gives states flexibility to improve Medicaid for the poor. His plan resembles what House Republicans are pushing, which means it might actually get passed. 

On Nov. 8, voters have the chance to 

rid this nation of ObamaCare. 

They should seize it!

Trump's Cabinet

In the wake of Mr Trump's designation of his future Attorney General -- Trey Gowdy, we'd like to review the most desirable appointments to key Cabinet posts, with our rationale

[Disclaimer: we have no control over whom Trump selects]

President Trump, on assuming the Presidency, following a landslide victory not seen since Reagan's massive win against Jimmy Carter in 1980.  The voters, this time, demanded CHANGE -- i.e., throw out the rascals in the Oval Office and all of Obama's appointees an Socialist generals, and hopefully, evict all the Congresspersons and Senators who have allowed Obama and his cabal to run roughshod over the US Constitution, our citizens and our nation.

7)  Will restructure the State Department to rid it of Left Wing radicals and select professionals for all key positions, and promote deserving career diplomats for ambassadorships.
8  The worst nightmare for the DNC/GOP cabal if they attempt to assassinate Trump [as they did with Reagan].  Webb would nail each conspirator to the wall and restructure both the DNC and the GOP.
9)  Will draw the votes of Democrats who are disgusted with Hillary or Bernie, as well as undecided Independent voters.

Rudy Giuliani
1)  A national hero who took the lead in the 9/11 crisis.  Knows his way around politics and can be counted on to remain Conservative in Economics and on Immigration issues.

3)  He took on the mob, neutralized them, and somehow, he's still alive!
4)  Will eliminate the useless bureaucracy of 250,000 employees, cut the budget to realistic levels, and demilitarize DHS and eliminate its anti-American posture and redirect towards the external threat.

We will designate potential candidates for other Cabinet [and supporting posistions] as they emerge.  
We removed:
a)  Paul Ryan as a candidate for the Secretary of the Treasury after watching him bow and scrape to Obama and turn against US citizenry by promoting legislation which would increase taxes and government spending for worthless government programs.
b) David Petraeous as Secretary of State given his appearance as a key new player in the Bilderberg conference, indicating that he has sold out to the New World Order.

b) We added Newt Gingrich as Secretary of Treasury based on his accomplishment as Speaker of the House in balancing the budget and creating welfare reform.

c) We removed Condoleeza Rice as a nominee for Secretary of State as it appears she has sold out to The Establishment, being one of the "50 National Security Experts" who condemned Trump.  She's in bad company there since most can easily be labeled as "other than experts" based on their hand-in-glove and very profitable relationships with Establishment elements, 

Feel free to recommend.
