Last week was Advocacy Week at Nova and the student ADPAC leaders invited me to speak to their D1s during a lunch and learn. I showed them a PPTX (thank you, Elaine!) of the issues, how DDOH works, the accomplishments organized dentistry has procured over the years and what we're currently working on. The event was on Halloween Day, very fitting to pick that day to invite the likes of me. The kids were great and very interested. I was impressed by the student leaders who organized the event. They are engaged, know the issues and have a passion for their profession that we could use in the FDA. Needless to say, this was a complete 180 from the boycott (ACD Ethics Workshop) Nova extended me earlier this year. Proof positive why we must never back down! Nova's College of Dentistry is under new management and we shall soon see what changes, if any, will be implemented by the new dean. Now let's tackle Obamacare.
Never mind the spiel and promises, it was all a lie, like most of Obama's rhetoric. Here's my translation of his bullet points, complements of my patented BS decoder. "If you like your insurance you can keep it, period, end of story" is really "If WE like your ins. you can keep it but it's gonna be our call, not yours, period, end of story". "The website will be operational on Oct. 1" is really "The website is a rigged piece of crap, purposely designed to fail so you can't log on and see how much higher your premiums will be, for how much less coverage and benefits". "Americans will be able to browse the site and choose a plan that best suits their needs" is really "We'll take all your private personal info and only then can you look at plans that force your grandma to have Viagra coverage and your husband to have maternity". Ironic but not surprising, is the fact Obamacare was sold as a vehicle to give ins. to those who were uninsured. It's not doing that at all but it is taking ins. away from those who had it. It's like tearing a huge gash in your radiator and trying to refill it with an eye dropper. There are already some political stress cracks in Obama's cement-faced deception. 16 Sen. Dems, 15 of whom are up for reelection next year, are already in a panic and went to the WH to cry for help. What they will find is Obama doesn't give a rat's rear what happens to them in 2014. He's built a reputation for throwing anyone under the bus once he's used them, and this will be the same end result. The early returns are not good. While a pathetic 6 people signed up the first day and the next few days have been little better, 4.2 million Americans have already gotten booted by their ins. carriers. McDonald's can't serve junk food this fast!
I love the way the koolaid drinkers are still clinging to their delusion and hubris. As always, they'll sooner cut their jugular than admit that their "wait and see" chatter is over and we're waiting but not seeing squat. And I'm not talking about losers, the permanently indolent or others who have no product, I expect that from the dead end crowd. I mean educated people who work hard and pay taxes. There's an "educated" couple in SF who just got burned on a decent, affordable policy with Kaiser but swear they still like and support Obama. Couples are getting divorced to apply as "single". I wonder how the gay community will handle this? Their single issue of total devotion and advocacy is "gay marriage". How will their zeal to get hitched hold up against the advantages of applying as single? Ah, those unintended consequences. I've seen the same irrational delusion from some of my FB pals. Michael Savage was right about liberalism being a mental disorder. See the SF loony couple's story below.

How about that GOP? My God, they're a total joke! Anyone who actually gives $ to the RNC needs to be admitted, via Baker Act, to the nearest padded room. This Tuesday was a major blown opportunity to kick the Dems in the groin by electing a real conservative as Gov. of VA. Terry McAuliffe is about as charismatic as a mohel in a room full of Arab toddlers. Ken Cuccinelli was 30+% down in the polls, after months of being outspent 10 to 1 and an endless barrage of attack ads. The GOP gave him a pitiful $3 million, they gave Bob McDonald $9 million when he ran for VA Gov. Despite all of that, Cuccinelli lost by only 2%! Why? Obamacare, it stinks worse than the infamous NY Garbage Barge. It's likely that the shutdown cost the GOP votes in a state next door to dysfunctional DC, full of govt. employees. A conservative black minister for a running mate sounds good. But not if he loudly attacks gays and abortion. That egg was laid by Cuccinelli alone. Nevertheless, had the GOP supported him, those deficits could have been overcome. It's clear the GOP Establishment is ashamed of its base and we're headed for a civil war. I predict a major RINO hunt next summer and many of the old guard RINOs may be gone after tough primary opponents. In red states, we won't see the AK debacle where Lisa Murkowski came back and beat Joe Miller, the guy who beat her in the primary. Moron shoulda shaved! In red states, whoever knocks off McConnell, Grahamnesty or Boo Hoo Boehner will win it all. Notice Graham is beating his canary chest about holding up any Obama nominees until a serious Benghazi investigation is held? It's nothing but posturing by a RINO who knows he's in the cross hairs.
Even Chris Christie's landslide win was a fix. He was opposed by a weak, unknown lady with little or no $ support. This was in exchange for giving VA to the Dems, he never went there to help Cuccinelli. But Crisco will have to be content to stay as Gov. of NJ. Exit polls on his triumphal night also include the sobering reality that NJ voters elected him but will support Hillary over him in 2016. That means he'd join the dubious club of Al Gore and Mitt Romney, guys who couldn't even carry their home state. RINOs forget that in a blue state they are always paper to the Dem's scissors. Don't believe me that the Left will turn on him fast? See for yourselves.
As it becomes painfully obvious that Obama is radioactive, we'll see more and more politicians who are up in 2014 saying or doing anything to avoid being on the same podium with him. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) is 1 of the nervous 15 and made sure she had a very important "prior engagement" 220 miles from where Obama will be when he comes to New Orleans. That way, not even Obama's outdated Blackberry will pick her up.
The accomplice media is also starting to grow weary and realize they're Obama's stooges. One thing I've noticed is they just rip the disastrous website, as if we're so stupid to think the biggest problem is that site. Oh, wait, many of us ARE that stupid! The reality is the website is a political check mate for Obama & the Dems. The longer it stays down, the bigger joke it and its namesake become, even if it keeps the public from seeing what degree of damage awaits their wallets. At some point it has to be fixed, though that could take months. But if and when they do finally fix it, then we're really gonna see the SHTF. Then it won't be a trickle, it'll be millions of Americans who see the true cost of Barry's signature "affordable healthcare". Americans may not care about things like Benghazi, IRS or NSA- unless it directly affected them. But the very "I want mine!" type of selfishness that got Obama reelected will be a double edge sword when these single issue laggards don't "get theirs". Even the younguns who turned out in record numbers are seeing their "young & healthy" rates go up 2-4X, ouch! The 16% unemployment rate they have is salt in the wound. Without these younger Americans buying that overpriced coverage, the program will implode. I already see what looks like a massive case of nationwide civil disobedience and His Majesty's own royal loyal guard is running for the drawbridge.
I will close with a little quiz you can throw at any liberal who tries to backpedal or otherwise defend this disgrace of a law. It's only 2 questions:
1) If you bought any electronic gadget, car, home security system, etc. that wouldn't work; then, when you tried to log on or call the company, you got an error message or were told "it's a glitch, be patient", would you excuse and accept that?
2) Let's dispense with analogies. If you bought private medical ins. and were unable to verify benefits, contact the carrier by phone or online or get any practitioner to accept it, would you be ok with that and keep paying for the policy?
I posted my quiz on my FB page and not one lib would touch it. All they could do was lob insults. The latest tactic, a hallmark of the desperate left, is to call anyone who opposes Obamacare either obstructionist or a racist. Do not back down or let these zealots define you. Stay strong and press on! If you need any more ammo, use this. This law is already costing twice what was originally stated and repeated warnings the site would crash were ignored. If this is the total dysfunction and dishonesty of what is only the opening step of the mess, how can we trust a govt. that can't even run a website to control our healthcare? How many of you think your pts. would hang around if in the first appt. of a big treatment plan you told them it would cost twice the amount and you had no idea when they could book their next appt.?
