Polipundit take on obamacare and my own comments
Google Reader (1000+)
This is a good summation of the consequences of the passage of Obamacare in a dismal economic climate from POLIPUNDIT blogsite.
I here re-publish the most important points from Polipundit:
"The economy is nowhere close to recovering and, in some places, may be getting worse. Millions of people have been unemployed for a very long time and untold millions more live in fear of it. Spending, deficits and debt have grown beyond the hypothetical world of economists and into a realm that the average person understands. Against this, the Democrats are now steaming towards the greatest expansion in government ever and, more importantly, into the part of our lives that commands our deepest fears, our health and mortality. That they have done so in an openly corrupt manner, with side deals, special exemptions, special interest favors and patronage (a judgeship, really?), betrays a contempt for the legislative and political process that is almost unfathomable. Worse, they raise the specter that the government is an interest, separate, distinct and opposed to the people.....
"The Democrats cannot do this. Sure, they may get the votes to pass the Senate bill tonight, but ultimately they will be defeated. A representative democracy cannot long endure a political class that is so out of touch with the populace. In some respects, what happens tonight is almost beside the point. The politics are set. Some Democrats are deluding themselves that they can put this behind them and somehow survive in November. They are most assuredly wrong.....…"
US has reached a watershed with passage of this bill, which will allowed the gov't direct access and intrusion over our lives in the most private sphere, one's own health. One shudders at the aspect of the gov't directly imposing a mandate for each and every citizen to get health insurance, or pay an IRS-enforced penalty. This is okay for the 20-25% of the electorate who already are direct recipients of gov't assistance and/or are among the 31 million uninsured and are counting on gov't/taxpayers subsidizing their health care premiums. The middle class and wealthy will be subsidizing Obambacare for the 100 million lower/impoverished classes. What this will do for the US out-of-control deficit and for the already BK medicare system is a whole subject in itself.

How Obamacare will benefit as many as 5 million uninsured and /or welfare recipients in LA County:
How Obamacare will benefit as many as 5 million uninsured and /or welfare recipients in LA County:
LA county is the most impoverished big city in USA with 3 million welfare recipients. Many if not most of these are already on medi-cal/medicaid or receive LA County health relief so will easily slide into obamacare and be subsidized by US taxpayers. Add another 1-2 miilion impoverished/lower working class/laborers, those who have lost coverage due to recession and being unemployed/underemployed, or are currently not covered by their employers, and you will have as many as 5 million new Angelinos eligible for obamacare and 90% of them will be subsidized by US taxpayers. That is half of county poplulation.
Facts about LA Countys impoverished:
Close to 3 million or 30 % of LA county's population is receiving public assistance. Anyone care to rebut my assertion that CA, and LA in particular, is being filled up with poor illegal aliens and their anchors
LA city and county population is 10% illegal alien, and 30-40% of entire county population are recent immigrants(legal and illegal) here less than 30 years. Vast majority in either case are south of border immigrants. LA has 10 million souls which is 27 % of the states population. 3 million of those are on welfare assistance programs. 3 million is more than the population of all but two or three cities in entire US.
The vast majority of the 3 million In La county receiving public assisatnce
are either illegals or their Anchors. LA City itself is now 70% latino immigrant and much of the city is a vast illegal alien- spawned ghetto dump. Example: zip 90011 which is the old historic south central part of LA just below Dwtn may be the most polluted filthy ghetto in America. It is filed with nothing but illegals.
30 years of massive non stop infiltration of illegals into LA city/county/IE has resulted in the creation of the largest expanses of illegal alien-spawned ghettos in USA. These ghettos are sited all over the LA Basin in 1000's of gang- infested districts & hoods, and the entire territory runs nearly 100 miles from Inglewood all way east/NE to victorville, and 80+ miles from Santa Ana north all way to Lancaster.

Illegals gaming the CA healthcare safety net: part 2
To bad that illegals crowd into LA , are without health isurance, yet expect free county health treatment. Life is tough and we have 15-20% % UE in CA, and many US Citizens are without health care coverage and jobs If they have to go into crowded county hospital ER rooms they are pushed back and have to wait 5-10 hrs by uninsured illegal nationals who don' t have health coverage so crowd out american citizens and seniors from county hospitals.
LA is one gigantic, fraud infested, third world Tijuana-style dump where illegals are given sanctuary status and protected so i am not surprised that LA county won't cut back on health treatment to illegals .
I have to pay for health care coverage despite being out of work because if I get sick and go to ER i get a bill from the hospital and i have to pay ,unlike the illegals who use fake addresses, fake names and ID's to avoid paying for ER bills.
That is why i pay as little as possible to the state,county, and local Gov't in fees and Taxes, as my taxes would go to provide free medical to illegal alien nationals from Mexico. I hope that all state ballot propositions to raise taxes fail, and that the tax revolt succeeds. CA is a third world dump where illegals are welcome to drain and plunder the social security net at CA taxpayer expense.
