Opting Out On Obama
American Thinker
by Tony Gallardo

There is something encouraging happening in Obama's America: opting out. Barack Obama was swept into office on the promise that he would "transform America for the 21st century", usher in a new era of prosperity, be careful stewards of taxpayer money, end earmarks, provide transparency so that Americans would know how every dime was spent, make the world love us, lower the sea levels, and ... blah, blah, blah. >>>

Congress set the tone, bless their hearts, by opting out of ObamaCare right from the get go. They let it be known that ... "no, no, we are going to keep our healthcare benefits; ObamaCare is for all you little people out there; you doofuses that are too inept and stupid to make your own decisions." >>>

Even Obama is getting caught up in this movement. Despite making umpteen campaign promises to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, and signing an executive order on his first day in office announcing that it would be closed by the end of 2009, he has decided to ... well...opt out of his own executive order.

Can we all just resolve for 2011 to opt out of the Obama administration for the next two, or heaven forbid, six years?

The only way to run a national health care system in the black is to ration services, cut costs, or do both. It is inevitable that collectivized, socialized medicine will conclude that an individual life has only limited value and that therefore unlimited resources will not be allocated to saving any one person. It is likewise inevitable that doctors' salaries will tank, making entry into the medical profession less desirable, which in turn will make it necessary--as it is in England currently--to import more doctors trained in third-world medical schools.

How right you are Janice. HELLCARE should be defunded and/or killed altogether.

Healthcare Reform Law Requires New IRS Army Of 1,054
USNews
By Paul Bedard

The Internal Revenue Service says it will need an battalion of 1,054 new auditors and staffers and new facilities at a cost to taxpayers of more than $359 million in fiscal 2012 just to watch over the initial implementation of President Obama's healthcare reforms. Among the new corps will be 81 workers assigned to make sure tanning salons pay a new 10 percent excise tax. Their cost: $11.5 million.

Notice this new healthcare legislation requires 1,000 new IRS agents. NOT doctors, IRS agents! What does that tell you?

University of TN is one of the largest employers here. (ALCOA and TVA are the other 2).

RB works at UT and gets their health insurance for her, her husband and son. The University switched providers, her part of the premium went up $100/per month, for less coverage, and she had to fill out a raft of forms for each of them, regarding their health and all their dr visits for the last 2 years, to make sure that they will have coverage. Her husband has had part of his stomach removed years ago, prostate cancer about 7 years ago, and then had a melanoma behind one knee, a little over a year ago. She's pretty worried about their insurance. The Univ is giving employees a choice of taking the new, or staying with the old. If she had stayed with the old (BCBS), the premium she was paying would have doubled.

My son in law, works at UT Hospital....which has not been part of the University for several years. They were just switched from BCBS to Humana. My daughter said their premiums didn't change, but the coverage was reduced.

My brother, in Chicago, said his company changed theirs. My sister works for IBM, and she said theirs was changed too.  I asked my brother how that "hope and change thing was workin' for him"....not positive how he voted, which was why I made the comment only to him. I know his wife and my sister voted for Obama,     but in order to keep the peace ....we don't discuss politics. 

From what I have read, there are a lot of major employers quickly changing their employee health insurance bennies while they still can.
