15 Reasons Why The Obamacare Decision Is A Mind Blowing Disaster For AmericaMichael Snyder, Contributor So now America is headed for a complete and total disaster as Obamacare is fully implemented over the next several years. It was a 5-4 decision to uphold Obamacare, and the swing vote was Chief Justice John Roberts who was appointed by George W. Bush. After the vote, it is hard to have any faith in the U.S. Supreme Court. Many constitutional conservatives kept voting for Republicans in the hope that the direction of the Supreme Court would change, but it hasnt. Prior to the Obama administration, Republicans controlled the White House for 20 out of 28 years. If Republicans were going to fundamentally change the nature of the Supreme Court, that was their opportunity. But it didnt happen. That sounds really bad, but that is the truth. And thanks to the Supreme Court, we are stuck with Obamacare at least for now. The following are 15 reasons why the Obamacare decision is a mind blowing disaster for America. #1 According to the U.S. Supreme Court, the federal government has the power to force you to buy private goods and services. Now that this door has been opened, what else will we be forced to buy in the future? #2 Obamacare is another step away from individual liberty and another step toward a nanny state where the government dominates our lives from the cradle to the grave. #3 The IRS is now going to be given the task of hunting down and penalizing millions of Americans that do not have any health insurance. In fact, the Obama administration has given the IRS500 million extra dollars outside the normal appropriations process to help them enforce the provisions of Obamacare that they are in charge of overseeing. #4 Obamacare imposes more than 20 new taxes on the American people. You can find a comprehensive list of Obamacare taxes right here. If you love paying higher taxes, then you are going to absolutely love Obamacare once it is fully implemented. #5 In an attempt to control costs and promote efficiency, Obamacare limits the treatment options that doctors and patients can consider. This is likely to result in a decrease in life expectancy in the United States. #6 Obamacare is going to impose nightmarish paperwork burdens on doctors, hospitals and the rest of the healthcare system. This is going to significantly increase our healthcare costs as a nation. #7 Obamacare is going to send health insurance premiums soaring. This is especially true for younger Americans. #8 Many small businesses are going to be absolutely crushed by the provisions in Obamacare that require them to provide expensive health insurance coverage for their employees. This is going to make them even less competitive with companies in other countries where businesses are not required to provide healthcare for their workers. This is also going to make it even less attractive for businesses to hire new employees. #9 Obamacare is going to make the emerging doctor shortage in America a lot worse. Surveys have found that we could potentially see hundreds of thousands of doctors leave the medical profession because of Obamacare. #10 Obamacare has already forced the cancellation of dozens of doctor-owned hospitals. #11 Obamacare is going to result in a much bigger federal government. In order to fully implement all of the provisions of Obamacare, hordes of new government bureaucrats will be required. #12 Thanks to Obamacare, you are going to have to wait much longer to see a doctor. Just look at what happened once Romneycare was implemented in Massachusetts. In fact, we have already seen the start of this process in Massachusetts, where Mitt Romneys health care reforms were nearly identical to President Obamas. Romneys reforms increased the demand for health care but did nothing to expand the supply of physicians. In fact, by cracking down on insurance premiums, Massachusetts pushed insurers to reduce their payments to providers, making it less worthwhile for doctors to expand their practices. As a result, the average wait to get an appointment with a doctor grew from 33 days to over 55 days. #13 Obamacare contains all kinds of insidious little provisions that most people dont even know about. The following is one example from the Alliance Defense Fund. Did you know that with ObamaCare you will have to pay for life-saving drugs, but life-ending drugs are free. One hundred percent free. If this plan were really about health care wouldnt it be the other way around? #14 As if the U.S. government was not facing enough of a crisis with entitlement spending, it is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls. You and I will be paying for all of this. #15 The Congressional Budget Office estimates that Obamacare will add more than a trillion dollars to government spending over the next decade. Considering the fact that the U.S. government is already drowning in debt, how in the world can we afford this? So what do you think about the Obamacare decision?
