Reflections From a Murky Pond

The overwhelming majority of Americans, and not a few Liberals as well, think of Obamacare as an unremitting and unalloyed failure – a chimaerical disaster unequaled in American history.  For Americans, however, this is not exactly true; it does have an upside. The Obamacare upside is that it might just be straw that breaks the camel’s back when it comes to the labor unions and their strangling of American industry.

Indeed, last week the 22,000-member-strong United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers (UURWAW) – an AFL-CIO cell – not only ended their support of the PPAC, they are now calling for its repeal.

These provisions jeopardize our multiemployer health plans, have the potential to cause a loss of work for our members, create an unfair bidding advantage for those contractors who do not provide health coverage to their workers and, in the worst case, may cause our members and their families to lose the benefits they currently enjoy as participants in multiemployer health plans

– Kinsey Robinson, UURWAW President

Essentially, the union found out what was in it, had their noses rubbed into the fact that Obama lied through his teeth about much of it, and now want Obamacare to be scrapped before they go out of business.

Frankly, if this is the case in general and Obama will “gut-shoot” the unions, Americans might want to keep Obamacare around long enough for them to “bleed out” before scrapping it.

Taking a loved one to the hospital is never fun. When that loved one is elderly it’s even more painful because the prognosis is less often good.

An elderly man had a massive heart attack and the family drove him to the emergency room. After a while the ER doctor appeared wearing a long face.

“I’m afraid Grandpa is “brain-dead”, but his heart is still beating.”

“Oh, Dear God,” cried his wife, “We’ve never had a liberal in the family before!”

Sometimes the doctors have no choice to give the family the worst of news and pray that they can bear the horror and pain.

The misborn, bastard crotch-dropping of Obama and the coterie of Liberals wrongfully fouling America’s Congress, Obamacare, turned three today.

Happy Birthday, Obamacare!

Given that much of it still isn’t defined beyond broadly written laws and we’re already saddled with over 20,000 pages of new regulations, I’d say that this isn’t a happy birthday or anniversary for the American people.
