As it stands today, 3.5 million Americans have had their health insurance cancelled due to Obama care and the number could go as high as 16.5 million according to industry experts. So the 30 million uninsured that this inept Legislation was intended to aid has now reached 33.5 million and may go as high as 47 million before the exchanges are even open. I don't think this was an accident, I believe it was by design.

  Obama care will only work if it has initial high enrollment numbers in the exchanges themselves. I believe shortly after the implantation of this program they realized it was going to suffer from low turnout from the young contributors, That is to say that all their data pointed to the majority of young people being more likely  pay the fine rather than purchase health insurance through the exchanges. To salvage the program the needed a surrogate; enter private policies.

 Private insurance policies work differently due to the fact that there is no "group" statistics" to dilute the cost of  potential losses to the insurer. Therefor the insured is scrutinized more harshly, the cost is higher, and the unneeded benefits are stripped away from the policy to bring the price down. An example is that a 56 year old single man will not need maternity benefits or annual free breast screening so that benefit is removed from his policy to offset the higher non group  cost he has incurred.  Obama care had offered to grandfather these policies in but after learning the despairing projections from the “Youth Turn out" they decided to tighten the criteria to include 10 benefits that are not negotiable. Now the 56 year old single man has to have a plan that includes breast exams and other things that he does not need. This was a godsend for many private insurers who could now cancel their clients due to the inability to provide compliant coverage at a reasonable cost.

 You see, many of these private policies were written for people with pre-existing conditions. By cancelling these policies they eliminated these pre-existing policies and lowered their own risk. In short, Obama care purposely aided big insurance companies in purging their roles of the most vulnerable (those with no group policies and pre-existing conditions) in order to facilitate a need for Obama care . They have now brought in as many as 16 million people who have no place to go except the exchanges. A nice bi-product of this action is that when they count the policies in a year or so and tally up the effectiveness of the program they will use the estimated 14 to 16 million canceled private policies as proof that at least half the 30 million expected were helped. They will conveniently ignore the fact that they themselves caused these people to lose the coverage they had.

 This is not a new game, In the 30s and 40s in Chicago it was common for organizations to create a problem and then offer their services to solve it. It was called "The Protection Racket" and the people who carried it out were known as "Racketeers" and the organization was "Organized Crime". Americans should expected more from their Government than the actions of a Chicago Racketeer.

  I'm new to your webpage and this is my first blog ever:

  I'm just an everyman, I, like so many others have sat idle over the last 10 years as our constitutional rights and privileges have slowly  and meticulously stripped away. I will no longer sit back and wait for a Calvary that is not coming. I have come to the realization that the only ones to get us out of this debacle are ourselves. So what can I do. I have no control over this situation.

 The Tea Party attracted me for one reason only; FEAR. It may sound bad, but fear is a powerful way to control your adversaries, unite your constituents, and BEGIN to control your own environment. And the one thing I have noticed over the past few years is that politicians on both sides of the fence FEAR the TEA PARTY movement for its simplistic honesty and basic agenda. The litmus test for fear in Republicans seems to be compliance on the issues. For the first time in my lifetime I saw politicians begin to bend to political pressure that was Conservative in nature rather than "one more" liberal concession.  The test for Liberal fear has and always be hatred, Liberals have an unnatural, unhealthy, overreaction of hatred towards fear. this is evident in their contempt and hatred to anything that threatens their social agenda. I have never witnessed liberal America HATE anything more than the Tea Party, (Although Sarah Palin runs a close second). Their very lack of composure is very telling.  

 So what exactly do these politicians fear? I think it can be summed up by "lack of compliance". For the last 30 years or so we have been treated to the wisdom of puffed up little farts with a socialist agenda in their back pocket and a list of demands to be filled for the socially disenfranchised. A list that was guaranteed to gain them constituents. Their political strategy was, and continues to be, that If you rob Peter to pay Paul you can always count on Paul's support. Of course some Republican politicians were bound to jump on the bandwagon and try to do the same, These "Middle road" Conservatives have traded party ideology for the votes of a few. But this only works for them if we all remain compliant. Compliance with the party, Compliance with the socialist agenda, Compliance with the national media who aids in these socialist endeavors.

 So fear brings change, lack of compliance invokes fear, And "We The People" have the power to control our environment through non compliance with media, political agendas of our ideological adversaries, even if they wear sheep's clothing and pretend to be looking out for us.  

  I would love to see this movement increase its recruitment efforts, Arrange more protests, localize more of its efforts, boycott, advertise and reveal the true nature of its ideological adversaries. 

  I love this country, I'm 53 years old, born in 1960. Since I was a child I have watched it slowly change from a proud nation of patriotic Americans with high morals and values into a Godless, graceless, nanny state of morally bankrupt souls.  

 So who knows, maybe this TEA PARTY is part of the answer, Maybe here I can make a difference, Maybe the Calvary is on its way and I can be in it.
