The Obamacare health insurance mandate reminds me of a bunch of Chicago gangsters selling protection. I can just envision Obama (Al Capone), Rahm (Frank Nitti), Pelosi (Teets Battaglia), and Reid (Jack Zuta) sitting around a smoke-filled speakeasy planning to provide “protection” to the neighborhood merchants.
“We’re gonna provide you protection, see…and you are gonna take it, see…or else, see.”
Only in this case, the neighborhood merchants happen to be every citizen in the United States. While they force you to purchase insurance, at the same time, they are forcing their competitors out of business. There is plenty of bribery, arm-twisting, naked shower finger-pointing, and rampant strong-arming that make Al Capone’s exploits look like an episode of the Brady Bunch. Just today, Dick Durbin (Big Jim Colosimo) admitted on the floor of the Senate that premiums under Obamacare are likely to INCREASE versus the average cost of private insurance…what a fabulous time for the racketeering of health care.
Poll after poll after poll shows that Americans are strongly opposed to a government acquisition of the United States health care system. But Al “Obama” Capone and his henchmen are going to use every dirty, underhanded method perfected in the mean streets of Chicago to accomplish their mission.
Where, oh where, is Elliot Ness ??
