ObamaCare + Amnesty is Bad Medicine for American Workers


The combination of ObamaCare and the "proposed" Gang of 8 Amnesty Bill is going to be bad medicine for American workers.  This video is worth watching if you want to understand what's in store for us with the combination of these two bills, should it ever become reality.  

Mr. Obama is focusing on immigration reform now that he's successfully ruined our health care system.  Ted Cruz gives a very clear explanation of what the consequences will be if the Gang of 8's Amnesty Bill makes it to Obama's desk:

In short, NumbersUSA explains:
Under ObamaCare, companies with 50 or more employees must provide all low-wage workers with a sufficient health insurance policy. If the company fails to do so, it faces a $3,000 fine per worker that's not tax deductible, so that actual penalty could be as much as $5,000 per employee when you consider the tax consequences.
As Sen. Cruz pointed out yesterday, S.744 grants legal status and work permits to most of the 11 million illegal aliens currently living in the United States. But the bill also exempts them from ObamaCare, so if an American company with at least 50 employees has a job opening for a low-skilled worker, the company would actually benefit financially by hiring the amnestied illegal alien over a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident who also wants the job.
In the video, Senator Cruz gives several scenarios of what could happen when a small company is confronted with complying with these bills.  It's scary to think that Americans may lose jobs to illegals given amnesty by our government.  
Most businesses will do what's best for their bottom line, especially if they are struggling to stay open.  If hiring illegals who have been given amnesty will keep them running, it's a no-brainer.
According to this article, the House is "balking" at a broad immigration bill.  Does anyone trust either the Senate or the House to do the right thing?  I sure don't. 
Imagine how many low information voters are just getting a taste of what ObamaCare is going to do to them.  Chances are they have no idea what's in store for America if/when "immigration reform" comes to town.

  1. The combination of ObamaCare and immigration will be the final blow. I will never forgive Marco Rubio.

  4. Choosing to be ill informed is a costly choice. Low information voters, those of us to whom watching 'Two and a half Men' and 'Dancing With The Stars' have significantly more impact on their daily schedule than reading the Wall Street Journal, will pay for their sloth dearly.

    It's about time. And I can't say I will have one lousy ounce of sympathy for these idiots and their newly imposed medical expenses, owing to the damage they have caused by electing this marxist to the Oval Office (twice).

    Then it is good time to unionize USA workers to improve the situation for all people.

    1. Oh right, I see. If all USA workers are unionized, then they'll all get waivers from Mr. Obama and won't have to sign up for ObamaCare. Why didn't I think of that?

      Hey, I didn't think you'd come back after getting so ticked off at me for asking about your deductible. Let me guess, you never signed up for ObamaCare.

  6. Note to the young lady who stopped by to comment on this post. Your comment is not posted because, although I welcome differences of opinion, I expect the opinion to be reflective of the post. Your rant about the right-wingers who hate liberal women had nothing to do with ObamaCare and Amnesty, so it has been deleted and marked as spam. Next time, please read the intro to the comment section before wasting your "precious" time...TROLLS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

  7. Google search "Affordable Boat Act" if you are truly interested in just how stupid the ACA is! And make sure Ema gets it, love to hear her opinion! NOT!

  8. The Affordable Boat Act

    The U.S. government has just passed a new law called: "The affordable boat act" declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a new boat, by April 2014. These "affordable" boats will cost an average of $54,000-$155,000 each. This does not include taxes, trailers, towing fees, licensing and registration fees, fuel, docking and storage fees, maintenance or repair costs.

    This law has been passed, because until now, typically only wealthy and financially responsible people have been able to purchase boats. This new law ensures that every American can now have a "affordable" boat of their own, because everyone is "entitled" to a new boat. If you purchase your boat before the end of the year, you will receive 4 "free" life jackets; not including monthly usage fees.

    In order to make sure everyone purchases an affordable boat, the costs of owning a boat will increase on average of 250-400% per year. This way, wealthy people will pay more for something that other people don't want or can't afford to maintain. But to be fair, people who cant afford to maintain their boat will be regularly fined and children (under the age of 26) can use their parents boats to party on until they turn 27; then must purchase their own boat.

    If you already have a boat, you can keep yours (just kidding; no you can't). If you don't want or don't need a boat, you are required to buy one anyhow. If you refuse to buy one or cant afford one, you will be regularly fined $800 until you purchase one or face imprisonment.

    Failure to use the boat will also result in fines. People living in the desert; ghettos; inner cities or areas with no access to lakes are not exempt. Age, motion sickness, experience, knowledge nor lack of desire are acceptable excuses for not using your boat.

    A government review board (that doesn't know the difference between the port, starboard or stern of a boat) will decide everything, including; when, where, how often and for what purposes you can use your boat along with how many people can ride your boat and determine if one is too old or healthy enough to be able to use their boat. They will also decide if your boat has out lived its usefulness or if you must purchase specific accessories,(like a $500 compass) or a newer and more expensive boat.

    Those that can afford yachts will be required to do so...its only fair. The government will also decide the name for each boat. Failure to comply with these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment.

    Government officials are exempt from this new law. If they want a boat, they and their families can obtain boats free, at the expense of tax payers. Unions, bankers and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$) are also exempt.

    If the government can force you to buy health care, they can force you to buy a boat....or ANYTHING else..

    Yeah...it's that stupid...

    "If the government can force you to buy health care, they can force you to buy a boat....or ANYTHING else.. "

    And seat belts in your car too, and safety glass for car windows too, and minimum DOT tire requirements too, and drive 55 on highways too, and "truth in advertizing" too, and clean air too, and safe working conditions too, and uniform weights and standards too, and ......

    Yes USA's governments do supply goods and services for the people. And that AIN'T stupid.

    1. Ema, you sound like a committed liberal based on your comments here, so, maybe you can answer a question I've asked many over the last four or five years. Would you articulate how your liberal views and belief system are preferred and will help our country going forward? What would be your argument to convince us conservatives to come over to your side?
      To now, not one of thirty or so has been able to answer except with snark and attacks. Perhaps you will be the first?

  10. I do not get why a number of Republicans and all Democrats are willing to favor illegal immigrants over American workers. To reward breaking the law? To harm Americans' financial means. No amnesty!! Repeal Obamacare!!

    Ted Cruz gives a good explanation in the video.

    1. Hi Teresa, Hope you are feeling well these days.
      The best way to guarantee votes, is to promise people something. Look what happened when Mr. Obama promised that we'd be able to keep our health care plans and doctors. People voted for him. So, making promises for amnesty to illegals will guarantee their vote and/or support when they are given the right to vote...which will be a lot sooner than the 10 years their claiming these people have to wait. Once amnesty goes through the Dems will be saying it's "not fair" that they can't vote.
      The stupid RINOs think that by pushing for amnesty they will get the votes. They're wrong.
      They aren't worried about Americans because they are already in the voting pool. It's the people who aren't that have to be taken in to boost the electorate.

  11. Obama Hates big business, yes the stock market has been doing well lately, but ask yourself why. Their over head and employees have been cut o the bone. that’s why we have such high unemployment. These democratic moron don’‘t see that and can’t understood it. But it’s true, think about it. Some people think at if the Market is going up then things are wonderful! But no, it’s not so wonderful at all, that another typical stupid idea by someone who has no idea what is happening in business.
    Small firms, particularly the Mom and Pop shops have been closing their doors like no other time since the Great Depression. And the threat of upcoming Obamacare will make it worse. It’s not hard to see the reasons for pessimism. Yu don’t have to be a Rocket Scientist. And as for the rich, Obama has promised to tax them to death as will the new Mayor of New York who sounds like a off-spring of Obama. Two peas in a pod. Just wait until New York becomes another Chicago. You can say what you want about Bloomberg’s Nanny State programs, but he had the best record against Crime in America. And that’s going to be gone. He will bring back David Dinkins’s failed policies and give the City back to the Crooks, Hoodlums, Racist Riots, and panhandlers./ The safe streets will become a Horror again as they did Pre Rudy Giuliani, who cleaned New York up and made it into ac lean and prosperous city, where Terrorists wanted to come to. You can Kiss All That Good-bye now!
    It is not hard for Obama to threaten our country. We already have enough problems that we desperately need to work on. He works like this.
    If we were an alcoholic, he would offer us a drink.
    If we were a fat person on a diet, he would offer us chocolate.
    1. Right now we have runaway entitlements that are driving us into debt and he champions those in need as if it is a sacred duty.
    2 We have a border problem to our south and he takes the side of the illegals.
    3 We have racial tensions and he ignores black on white crimes while making a national issue of one white on black one.
    4 He came in promising to reform, to come down on the rich, and none of the crooked bankers have been arrested but given bailouts as well.
    In every place that we need to make hard choices to survive, he works against our resolve and our judgement.
    There's nothing wrong with being rich, working hard so that you can enjoy the good life is that’s what the American Dream is all about! Suck that up Liberals...

    1. Right on you are! The rising stock market benefits the ones the O criticizes the most, the 1% don't you know.. I'm told a big part of it is the fed channeling printed money through to artificially make the market look good and help out his ratings.
