ObamaCare was pitched largely on the basis that, in exchange for its large price-tag, it would enable people to get out of emergency rooms and into doctors’ offices — but the people who build hospitals say the effect will be exactly the opposite, as they gear up to build more emergency rooms.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, in an attempt to market ObamaCare to seniors post-passage, has put together a 4-page color brochure touting its supposed benefits. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says the pamphlet – which was mailed to Medicare recipients – is “nothing short of government propaganda paid for by the taxpayer.”

“The $5B allocation attached to [ObamaCare’s] High Risk Pool initiative appears to represents a number dictated more by political feasibility than a fair assessment of true program cost.”

According to a new study, ObamaCare provides disincentives for businesses to hire new workers and provides incentives to invest in capital rather than in labor — since, for example, hiring a 25th worker would cost a business $5,600, in addition to wages and benefits.

After 14-straight electoral victories in running for Congress, Alan Mollohan’s career as a representative from West Virginia comes to an abrupt end in the wake of his vote for ObamaCare, as he’s routed in the Democratic primary by a challenger from his right.

“We’re going to do everything we can to make sure this law never, ever goes into effect,” says House Minority Leader John Boehner — as the Republicans also plan to challenge the confirmation of Donald Berwick as the new administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Newt Gingrich thinks ObamaCare can and should be repealed, but until Americans elect enough ObamaCare opponents to Congress and the White House to bring that about, he says that ObamaCare opponents (almost all of them Republicans) have a duty to use Congress’s power of the purse to deny funding and thereby thwart its implementation.
