Remember those ridiculous “I [heart] Obamcare” stickers from years ago? Where are they now?
They were peeled off their bumpers in the middle of the night the same way the abomination of Obamacare was passed. While Nancy Pelosi paraded in D.C. with an oversized gavel, the actual passing of Obamacare took place in the dead of night.
The Democrats in congress passed it forcefully and quickly and hoped no one would notice. It was equivalent to flatulence.
It still stinks today.
No democratic campaigns on the processes of Obamacare, they only allude to the dreams of it that will never manifest.
So lurid was the rollout of the programs website that the non-American model who’s pleasant face graced the landing page had to go into hiding.
One of the more despicable details to emerge from the legislation, is the attempt to enter American’s homes and dictate legal trends to patients, grossly altering their lifestyles.
Most of this is hidden from the American people of course becasue the idea of Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton sending agents to creep around your house is utterly revolting.
It’s also a possibility now unless serious action is taken to curtail these incursions.
Please see the next page for details on Obamacare’s home visits.
Bunch of paranoid Repub nuts….Lanelle Markgraf Martin they don’t want to argue this subject with me….
Don’t forget the death camps
And your a dam idiot to…
Repub nuts…boy ain’t that the truth! 😉
You have a right to refuse home visits. A friend is on medicare and needed surgery which she got. She received calls repeatly even after she had recovered. She told them to quit calling and they did. No more intrusion.
What imbeciles elected this idiot ??? And are they regretting their vote ?
It is happening. They showed up twice at my doorstep. They left from doorstep, not setting one foot in my house either time. He called it a check on the census. Wanting more detailed info…. Like health insurance, Democrat or Republican, how much money we made, religion and so on. He did have somebody with him and that person never got out of the vehicle. I opened the door and almost had to chest bump him so he would move. They even called. Call it what you want, but he was just a bit to pushy for me.
good to see people are still reading this. here is something I would like to add. Are you conservative? For traditional marriage? Own guns? Well your benevolent government wants to label you with a mental health problem through MANDATORY DEPRESSION SCREENINGS, and while they’re at it, TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO OWN A GUN. So why don’t you thank Republican Congressman Tim Murphy (Pennsylvania CD#18) and other liberals & neoconservatives promoting such oppression & tyranny? Ron Paul lays it out…
Mandatory Depression Screening is A Depressing Thought
by Ron Paul
The United States Preventive Services Task Force recently recommended mandatory depression screening for all Americans. The task force wants to force health insurance companies to pay for the screening. Basic economics, as well as the Obamacare disaster, should have shown this task force that government health insurance mandates harm Americans.
Government health insurance mandates raise the price of health insurance. Consumers will respond to this increase by either choosing to not carry health insurance or by reducing their consumption of other goods and services. Imposing new health insurance mandates will thus make consumers, many of whom are already suffering from Obamacare’s costly mandates, worse off by forcing them to deviate from their preferred consumption patterns.
Mandatory depression screening will not just raise insurance costs. In order to ensure that the screening mandate is being properly implemented, the government will need to create a database containing the results of the screenings. Those anti-gun politicians who want to forbid anyone labeled “mentally ill” from owning a firearm will no doubt want to use this database as a tool to deprive individuals of their Second Amendment rights.
If the preventive task force has its way, Americans could lose their Second Amendment, and possibly other, rights simply because they happened to undergo their mandatory depression screening when they were coping with a loved one’s passing or a divorce, or simply having a bad day. As anyone who has been mistakenly placed on the terrorist watch list can attest, it is very difficult to get off a government database even when the government clearly is in error. Thus, anyone mistakenly labeled as depressed will have to spend a great deal of time and money in what may be a futile attempt to get his rights back.
Mandatory depression screening will endanger people’s health by increasing the use of psychotropic drugs. These drugs often have dangerous side effects. Their use has even been linked to suicide. The fact that almost every mass shooter was on psychotropic drugs is another good reason to oppose any policy that will increase reliance on these medicines.
The Preventive Services Task Force’s mandatory depression screening mandate is based on the fallacy that diagnosing mental health problems is analogous to diagnosing cancer or diabetes. Even mental health professionals acknowledge that there is a great deal of subjectivity in mental health diagnosis.
Consider that until 1973 homosexuality was considered a mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association. Today, some mental health professionals think that those who believe in limited government, free-market economics, or traditional values suffer from mental disorders. If mandatory depression screening becomes a reality, it is likely this mental health screening will be expanded to cover screening for other mental illnesses. This could result in anyone with an unpopular political belief or lifestyle choice being labeled as “mentally ill.”
Even if mandatory health screening could be implementing without increasing costs or threatening liberty it would still be a bad idea. Government health care mandates undermine the basic principles of a free society. If it is legitimate for government to tell us what types of health care we must receive, then it is also legitimate for the government to tell us what to eat, when to exercise, and even how to raise our children. To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, a tyranny imposed for our own good is the worst form of tyranny because it is a tyranny without limits. All who love liberty must therefore oppose mandatory depression screening, or any other health care mandate.
Because I was laid off from the oil field and applied for help while I was looking for another job it gives them the right to intrude on my life? And when I tell them its none of there business they become more aggressive, pull my kids out of class to interview them without my knowledge or permission that’s supposed to be OK? All because I filed unemployment and received Food stamps for 2 months? Oh yeah when I applied one of the questions was do I own guns. You know what the FIRST question was when they made initial contact, ” Where do I store my guns?” Of course they are secured with trigger locks. But it was the first question after they introduced themselves. I do not now nor have I ever had a record of any kind.
NOT coming into MY house.
