Unbeknownst to almost every Member of Congress, Obamacare contains $105 billion in direct implementation spending that bypasses Congress’s normal appropriations process.

Why we MUST Defund Obamacare’s Secret Stash!

OBAMACARE: Many of its changes don't kick in until 2014. But the law is forcing dramatic consolidation and reducing choice in the industry...

The Republicans who now control the House of Representatives hope to repeal or defund ObamaCare, but the law has already yielded profound, destructive changes that will not be undone by repeal or defunding alone. Active steps and new laws will be needed to repair the damage.

The most significant change is a wave of frantic consolidation in the health industry. Because the law mandates that insurers accept all patients regardless of pre-existing conditions, insurers will not make money with their current premium and provider-payment structures. As a result, they have already started to raise premiums and cut payments to doctors and hospitals. Smaller and weaker insurers are being forced to sell themselves to larger entities.

Doctors and hospitals, meanwhile, have decided that they cannot survive unless they achieve massive size—and fast. Six years ago, doctors owned more than two-thirds of U.S. medical practices, according to the Medical Group Management Association. By next year, nearly two-thirds will be salaried employees of larger institutions.

Consolidation is not necessarily bad, as larger medical practices and hospital systems can create some efficiencies. But in the context of ObamaCare's spiderweb of rules and regulations, consolidation is more akin to collectivization. It means that government bureaucrats will be able to impose controls with much greater ease.

With far fewer and much larger entities to browbeat, all changes in Medicare and Medicaid policies will go through the entire system like a shock wave. There will be far fewer individual insurers, doctors, hospitals, device makers, drug manufacturers, nursing homes and other health-care players to resist.

There is little mystery how the government will exercise its power. Choices will be limited. Pathways to expensive specialist care such as advanced radiology and surgery will decline. Cutting-edge devices and medicines will come into the system much more slowly and be used much less frequently.

This is why simply defunding enforcement of the individual mandate and other upcoming directives will not be enough: Given all this consolidation, limits on treatment choices are already becoming hardwired into the system. Lawmakers must take concrete steps to stop and reverse this. . .

ObamaCare Is Already Damaging Health Care

Conservatives: Dick Morris reminds us what we need to do now

Republicans need to remind America that the huge increases they are now paying in their health insurance are concrete evidence of the impact of the mandates in Obamacare. They need to point out that the $500 billion in Medicare cuts are coming and that, already, reductions in physician fees are driving thousands of doctors to close their doors to Medicare patients. The Republicans need to explain how Obamacare creates an entirely new entitlement and will swell the deficit.

Awake Ye Conservatives!

Tea Partiers, start your engines. The great battle for the soul and future of America is about to begin.

ObamaCare knockout: America awaits GOP's punch

Real hope in the fight against Obamacare

This is not pie-in-the-sky stuff, this is about serious people with very serious ideas:

First, this is about a candidate running in the Republican primary for Congress in the 3rd District of Massachusetts:

Stopa is not your typical candidate. Stopa is a Physicist specializing in computation and nanoscience in the Physics Department at Harvard University, and director of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network Computation Project. So let's just say the guy pays attention to details.

One of the details on which Stopa has focused is the repeal of Obamacare, using Massachusetts' experience with Dukakiscare as a model...

The Massachusetts Model For Dismantling Obamacare

Secondly, on August 25th in the Wall Street Journal, Grace-Marie Turner (president of the Galen Institute) explained the specifics of how a Republican Congress could begin the process of repealing Obamacare in Putting the Brakes on Obamacare

And third: Yesterday, Dr. Hal Scherz (a pediatric urological surgeon at Georgia Urology and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta who also serves on the faculty of Emory University Medical School) explains how he and his colleagues at http://docs4patientcare.org/ are enlisting thousands of doctors in an unorthodox and unprecendented action! (Hint: this will drive Obama and his cohorts absolutely CRAZY :-)
