PLEASE TAKE OBAMA TO COURT OVER THE EMPLOYER MANDATE SUSPENSION!!!
hello america!!! for the past several days, i've been in some pretty heated debates about the authority of our gov't &, it all stemmed from obama suspending a portion of the healthcare law on his own. i not sure what schools these people went to however, for them to say that obama has that power (during peace-time) tells me that they didn't learn too much. in short: congress makes the law; the executive branch enforces ; &, the supreme court interprets the law.
what changed? who gave obama the authority to choose which parts of a law he can 'suspend'? he even swore an oath to preserve, protect & defend the constitution of the united states. what he is doing has to be unconstitutional & every american citizen should be up in arms about it. every member of both chambers of our congress should feel offended by this egregious misuse of power.
if obama had a problem with the bill (approved by the senate & the house), he did have the authority to veto it---but no, he chose to sign it into law &, by doing so, he cannot choose which parts of it he now wants to enforce or not enforce. he has to enforce it all or have congress repeal it.
for obama to only suspend the employer mandate portion of obamacare is not only illegal, it smacks of very questionable politics. the repubs & business's were telling obama & the country that the mandate would hurt our employment situation from day one &, obama rebuffed them from day one...so, what's changed for big business's? nothing has changed &, if business's receive a one year suspension from the mandate, the individual mandate should also be suspended for one year.
the only thing that has changed is, we are 1 1/2 years away from mid-term elections &, judging by all the problems obamacare is causing, it would leave the dems on the defense about supporting it.
obamacare was bad from the beginning &, when the main supporter of it (then speaker of the house-nancy pelosi) says, 'we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it', you know it was not written well nor was it able to have been fully read & understood in the short time congress was given to vote on it.
so far, obamacare has not lived up to its billing. it's not affordable & the costs are continuing to rise; people are losing their doctors; about 1/2 of our states will not support the obamacare option; sign-up for people with existing conditions has been 'suspended'; there's that $63 dollar per head obamacare fee (for all individual & company healthcare policy holders); then there's that 2.3% medical device tax; tobacco users were going to pay higher premiums however, a glitch will allow them to escape that extra cost for one year; &, for those young people that don't have coverage, it will be cheaper for them to accept the penalty rather then obtain coverage........
as i said, this bill was not well thought out or well written nor was it given enough time to be read & fully understood however, it is now law to include the employer mandate portion of it. &, for you staunch supporters of it, labor unions representing 543,812 had received obamacare waivers compared to private employers representing just 69,813 waivers. what i find amazing is: unions that fully supported obamacare in the beginning are now very vocal about how much it will really cost them & want to be exempt from it.
by the way, just so you'll know: blue cross & blue shield have said their rates will be going up because of obamacare.........
