ObamaCare Information

I recently received this message from a Friend who keeps himself informed and I quote it here:

"The per person Medicare insurance premium will increase from the present
monthly fee of $96.40, rising to: $104.20 in 2012; $120.20 in 2013; And
$247.00 [yes: $247.] in 2014. These are provisions incorporated in the Obamacare
legislation, purposely delayed so as not to 'confuse' the 2012 re-election campaigns."

As I prepared to include the above information in a Blog Post here I checked it out in Snopes.  Here is the information I found on the Snopes website and I quote here:

"However, the per person monthly Medicare insurance premium will be increased from the 2009 premium of $96.40 to $104.20 in 2010 and to $120.20 for the
year 2011, AND a yearly increase to a wonderful $247.00 in 2014."

As stated above, this is a monthly deduction from the monthly Social Security Payments that Senior Citizens receive.  I would suggest that it is the Democrats that are striving to have Senior Citizens consume Alpo or some other dog food so that they can continue to obtain the drugs that they may need.  I say this because it is the Democrats that normally tell Senior Citizens that it is the Republicans that want to deprive the Senior Citizens a proper standard of living.

So much for all this hype that it is the Republicans that want to throw Grandma and Grandpa under the bus!!!!!

I am therefore posting this information here so that all may see the impact of the ObamaCare Law that had to be approved so we could see what it contained.  From my own point of view I do not like what it contained.  I would suggest that it contains a poisen pill that No Citizen of the United States of America should have to swallow.  The fact that it would be deducted from the monthly Social Security Payments to Citizens makes it difficult to dispute.

The Flower Child would like to share this observation to the previous comnment:

"It would be Great If "We The People" could trust our duly elected leaders."

It would have been much more appropriate for all of us Citizens to know what was in this Bill, as well as all the others prior to it being passed. At least we should have had the truth quickly after it was passed. We all know that our economy is currently suffering because those with appropriate funds to employ and expand their business organizations do not now trust our duly elected Leaders, including the President and the members of our U. S. Senate and our U. S. House of Representative.

Too bad that there are so many unemployed or underemployed because of this lack of confidence.

We have our Lawmakers saying one thing, snopes saying more things, the AAPR and depending which national paper you read, the Wall Street Journal or the Washington Post; you may wonder what the real truth is.

I can appreciate Council Person Benedict's Comment here, but all that aside, We The People find it difficult to believe most, if not all duly elected leaders. This, my dear friends is most unfortunate; but the case/viewpoint of far too many Citizens/Voters/Employed/Unemployed.

Who/What Media Organization is a Voter/Citizen to believe.

Somebody please tell me.
Please.
