Originally published November 15 2013 Obamacare fix affirms Obama as absolute dictator with power to change laws as he pleases by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor (NaturalNews) In a desperate bid to save the rapidly collapsing Obamacare socialized medicine program, President Obama announced a fix yesterday that would allow health insurance companies to avoid cancelling whatever plans havent already been cancelled due to Obamacare itself. In doing so, Obama effectively declares himself absolute dictator over all laws across the country, assuming the power to enforce, ignore or alter laws at he pleases. The problem with this is that such powers do not exist in the Office of the President. Like everything else surrounding Obamacare, Obama himself is simply inventing new powers as he goes along and hoping no one will question his assumed (illegal) authority. The unexpected compromise was announced amid growing revolt within Mr. Obamas own party over his broken promise that Americans who liked their insurance could keep it. But it sparked another backlash as some legal scholars questioned whether the president had the authority to create the loophole, reports the Washington Times. It also, by the way, thrust the insurance industry into a state of chaos where insurance companies now have no idea whats going to be law tomorrow, next month or next year. Apparently Obama can simply change his mind at any time and decide that insurance companies are suddenly engaged in mass criminal activities which can then be prosecuted under the law as it is written. Beware of presidents who claim absolute power over Congress This is how Hitler rose to power, of course. Its how every tyrant throughout history got his start. Its also precisely what the United States Constitution prohibits in Article II, Section 3, where the language demands that the President take care that laws be faithfully executed. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say any President can simply choose to selectively ignore laws passed by Congress. Thus, Obamas new fix is blatantly illegal from the start. Even if it were legal under the U.S. Constitution, it is clearly discriminatory, allowing the White House to essentially decide which insurance companies get to be ignored by the law and which companies will be prosecuted for illegally keeping policies in place that violate the Affordable Care Act as written. This only creates yet more centralization of power in the White House, giving them the tools to silence dissent among insurance companies by wielding prosecutorial discretion as a political weapon. Obama unleashes economic despair and market chaos on America The health insurance industry is now suffering from a case of regulatory whiplash. Obamas enforcement of federal law seems to change with the direction of the wind, and his highly irresponsible, immature actions are causing extreme market destabilization. At this point, insurance companies have no idea what to believe. Nor do consumers who are shopping for plans. Healthcare.gov remains in a disastrous state and even though Obama has now announced his unconstitutional fix for people to keep their health care plans, there exists no government-legalized mechanism for insurance companies to reinstate policies already cancelled! Thus, all the policies already cancelled are dead and gone forever. So its not even clear how Obamas so-called fix helps anyone at all. Like everything else in the Obama administration, this fix is nothing more than deceptive smooth talking to gloss over a problem and promote the delusion that everything is working just fine. Obamas campaign promise of hope and change has become a joke. Sometimes hope is little more than false hope pretending to be real. And sometimes, the most charming, slick talking salesman is actually a con artist. Kevin Trudeau is in prison right now for lying about a weight loss book. Obama lied to the whole country about a far more serious issue, and he gets rewarded with even more power in his unconstitutional effort to fix the very problem he caused in the first place. Whats wrong with this picture?
