Palin responds to the passage of ObamaCare



Sarah Palin has just posted a new Facebook note on ObamaCare’s passage. She advises, “Never forget”!  
Out-of-touch Congress Sounds Our Clarion Call to Take a Stand 
We’ve been reminded many times that elections have consequences. Yesterday we saw the consequence of voting for those who believe in “fundamentally transforming” America whether we want it or not. Yesterday they voted. In November, we get to vote. We won’t forget what we saw yesterday. Congress passed a bill while Americans said “no,” and thousands of everyday citizens even surrounded the Capital Building to beg them not to do it. Has there ever been a more obvious exhibition of a detached and imperious government?
In the weeks to come, we can expect them to try to change the subject, but we won’t forget. Don't let them move on to further “transformational” steps while forgetting what Congress just did against the will of the people. Though Obamacare will inflict billions in new taxes on individuals and employers, at least it creates some jobs: the IRS might have to hire as many as 16,000 new employees to enforce all the new taxes and penalties the bill calls for! And that doesn’t include all the other government jobs from the 159 new agencies, panels, commissions and departments this bill will create. As the private sector shrinks, we can count on government to keep growing along with the deficits needed to keep it all afloat. (Is this the kind of “change” Americans asked for?)
In the end, this unsustainable bill jeopardizes the very thing it was supposed to fix – our health care system. Somewhere along the way we forgot that health care reform is about doctors and patients, not the IRS and politicians. Instead of helping doctors with tort reform, this bill has made primary care physicians think about getting out of medicine. It was supposed to make health care more affordable, but our premiums will continue to go up. It was supposed to help more people get coverage, but there will still be 23 million uninsured people by 2019.
Though they’d like us to forget, we will remember the corrupt deals, the corrupt process, the lack of transparency, the deceptive gimmicks to game the CBO score, and the utter disregard for the will of the American people. Elections have consequences, and we won’t forget those who promised to hold firm against government funding of abortion, but caved at the last minute in exchange for a non-binding executive order promised by the most pro-abortion president to ever occupy the White House.
All along we’ve said that we want real health care reform, but this isn’t it. We mustn’t be discouraged now. We must look to November when our goal will be to rebuke big government’s power grab, reject this unwanted “transformation” of America, and repeal dangerous portions of Obamacare that will bury us under more Big Government control.
This is just the beginning of our efforts to take back our country. Consider yesterday’s vote a clarion call and a spur to action. We will not let America sink into further debt without a fight. We will not abandon the American dream to government dependency, fewer freedoms and less opportunity. Change is made at the ballot box. If we work together, we can renew our optimistic pioneering spirit, revive our economy, and restore constitutional limits.
Stand tall, America. November is coming!
- Sarah Palin 

Palin is correct about not forgetting what the Democrats have done. Come November we should vote them out with a vengeance. Rather than sitting around in despair, we should all be moved to action to repeal ObamaCare and to make sure nothing else gets shoved down our throats.

What she said.
Not only is Obama a liar, he is clearly a scoundrel.
Would anyone like to explain to me how this magical health care is going to be paid for?
I can tell you that in Canada, more money goes to bureaucrats, not doctors.
I'd make sure the politicians that voted for this fiasco never worked even as janitors again.
But that's just me.

Exactly, precisely and for a very long time. I promise I won't post this again, Clifton. D.C. turns some very good people into zombies. It is going to take some time to weed them out.

Osumashi:

You are correct, the way Obama Care is designed with its penalties, more people will opt to pay the penalty than buy health care and Washington will get richer for it. Insurance agencies not so much.

Janelle:

You are right, it will take at least 4 cycles to rid ourselves of everyone who voted for this mess. Stay vigilant.
