Tout ça pour vous Monsieur le Président

In the current
fight over the government shutdown, Republicans are simply representing
the views of the American people.
Americans didn't ask for Obamacare, they don't want it, but now their
insurance premiums are going through the roof, their doctors aren't
accepting it, and their employers are moving them into part-time work
-- or firing them -- to avoid the law's mandates.
Contrary to Obama's promises, it turns out: You can't keep your
doctor, you can't keep your insurance -- you can't even keep your job.
In other words, it's a typical government program, but this one wrecks
your health care.
Also, the president did raise taxes on the middle class in
defiance of his well-worn campaign promise not to. Indeed, Obamacare is
the largest tax hike in U.S. history.
Among the other changes effected by this law are:
- Obamacare will allow insurers to charge 50
percent higher premiums for smokers, but prohibits insurers from
increasing premiums for those with HIV/AIDS.
- Nationally, Obamacare will increase men's
individual insurance premiums by an average of 99 percent and women's
by 62 percent. In North Carolina, for example, individual insurance
premiums will triple for women and quadruple for men.
- Health plans valued at $27,500 or
more for a family of four will be taxed at a rate of 40 percent.
- No doctors who went to an American
medical school will be accepting Obamacare.
- A 62-year-old man earning $46,000 a year is
entitled to a $7,836 government tax [Full

Why
should you have this in your wallet? Because this is the
prevailing
argument that even my local rag presents as factual re the CR showdown:

...
With important issues stacked up on its docket, Congress has so far
spent October allowing the federal government to shut down for lack of
a continuing budget resolution. This
happened because a minority of
hotheads in the House of Representatives had the absurd idea that they
could force President Barrack Obama to back down on the health care law
that is his signature accomplishment. ...
