The coming investigation into Obamacare

Matt O'Connor Contributor

I have written extensively about the corruption inside the Obama administration and the inevitability that the “grown-ups” will eventually get to the bottom of the Obama administration’s hijinks.  The hallmark of the administration’s political bribery and graft is, of course, the so-called Obamacare legislation — legislation that contains 2,841 pages, includes some 2,200 references to the new role of the Health and Human Services (HHS) czar, and creates 600 new authorities that CANNOT be challenged, 150 new bureaucracies and boards interposing between doctors and patients, and 17 new mandates governing insurance companies.

Also slapped onto Obamacare, as you will recall, is the unilateral takeover of the entire private student loan industry.  I guess that’s the “cherry on top” of Obamacare — a cherry that now essentially makes it illegal for the student loan industry to be run by the private sector. What a nice touch.

Every day, new discoveries are made about what lurks inside the Obamacare legislation, about how it will sap Americans of their decision-making power and place the government in between Americans and their health care providers.  Insurance companies will be faced with mandates on pricing and coverage and will be unable to square the two due to the fact that the mandates violate the very principle of insurance, which is to analyze risk through likely probabilities — and then to charge enough to be able to pay claims, fund reserves and cover administrative costs.  What administrative costs?  The costs associated with paying the salaries of the millions of hardworking middle class folks who happen to be employed by the health insurance industry.

At the end of the day, the Obamacare legislation was written to turn private medical insurance and the health care industry as a whole entirely on its head.  Many insurance companies will simply go out of business because they just won’t be able to compete under Obamacare.  Millions of jobs will be lost in the health insurance industry and in related industries.

The administration knows that Obamacare was passed through corrupt means, the American people know this and will see that their voice is heard in November and then heard when the “grown ups” with subpoena power start investigating the people behind the Obamacare disgrace.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
