Fake News And Fake Republicans Champion Obamacare

The biggest tax to be forced on the American people was anchored on a foundation of lies. Americans were told that the Affordable Care Act or “Obamacare” would not increase the deficit, would lower families insurance costs per year by $2,500 and if Americans wanted to keep their doctor, they could, none of which came true.  The cascading shower of lies from the administration was staggering and only outdone by the non-existent accountability by the fake liberal media that was pervasive from the very beginning.
The liberal Democrats who created this socialist debacle never consulted a single doctor and didn’t care that it would pass without one Republican vote. What was most important was that it was carefully marketed as healthcare while hiding the real fact that the government would control one-sixth of the American economy with this first step toward a single payer system.
It was a massive, intrusive program designed to force insurance companies out of the healthcare insurance business. To redistribute wealth from the middle class to individuals in lower income brackets and eliminate doctors from private practice while forcing millions of Americans to lose their coverage and have their hours or jobs cut so that employers could comply with its mandated madness.
From the very beginning, it was a stacked deck against the American people who were spectators of an illicit magic show where the nations healthcare system disappeared before everyone’s eyes and whose replacement was used both as a distraction and a tool to confiscate freedoms and consolidate power into the hands of a few.
Like fake news, “fake” Republicans were pretenders masking a hidden agenda of staying in power and creating a bigger government.  These phony charlatans voted more than fifty times to repeal Obamacare, but the more they voted to repeal, the more apparent it became that it was all grandstanding. These House Republican frauds knew their repeal vote was meaningless since it would never get past Obama’s veto ability.
Fake Republicans had no intention of honoring their 2016 campaign promise to repeal and replace Obamacare. While they knew Obamacare was hurting their constituents, they also believed the fake liberal media’s predictions of a Clinton landslide victory. And with a Clinton victory, their empty promises wouldn’t hurt them politically.
But soon after Republicans promised to do away with Obamacare, something unforeseen happened, something so outrageous that both the liberal Democrats and fake Republicans would be looking to each other for help – Trump won.  And with Trump winning the White House, the needs of Americans were put first, which was a bad thing for the Washington establishment.
In desperation, Democrats created the Russian scandal out of whole cloth.  And demanded impeachment every time Trump forgot to cross a T or dot an I.
And fake House Republicans praised each other’s efforts by creating a watered down version of Obamacare in the hopes that the American citizen, familiar with not being heard, would feel some sense of victory and be thankful for any little thing they could get.
However, a small group of House Republicans remembered what they had pledged on the campaign trail and criticized the House plan they determined did not go far enough. And conservative media outlets reminded Americans the promises made during the election cycle and urged them to demand better. It remains to be seen if Obamacare will be completely shelved and replaced with one where Americans have the freedom to choose what insurance coverage is right for them.
Perhaps the only good thing that can be attributed to the abomination known as Obamacare is the way it exposed the common ground between liberal Democrats and fake Republicans. As the new House plan emerges, the American citizen will now see and understand how the fake liberal media, liberal Democrats, and fake Republicans work together to protect their swamp.
