The current medical system that Americans are living under is Obamacare.
Obamacare was passed on a strictly party line vote by Democrats with not one Republican in the House or Senate voting for it.
We were told it was the wonder of the ages; that Democrats had finally fixed American healthcare.
That was in 2009.
What's interesting is that for the entire 2020 campaign Democrats, the same ones who gave us Obamacare, are saying that our current health system, Obamacare, is horrible and must be eliminated immediately.
The Democrats who gave us Obamacare, which they now say is a horrible disaster, are telling us that one of their proposed new medical systems will be much much better than their old medical system.
Essentially for this entire campaign so far Democrats have been running on the promise that this time they'll fix what they broke before.
Clearly Democrats who are enamored with say medicare for all or single payer or whatever aren't happy with the Obamacare they praised a few years ago.
But with the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett(ACB) that's all changed. Now we're being told that by Democrats that Obamacare is in fact the ultimate good for the American people.
What's brought about this sudden change? ACB that's what.
Democrats hate her because she's got 7 kids, two of whom she and her husband adopted and who are Black, because she's Catholic, but mostly because she believes that the job of a judge is to decide how to apply the law as written to specific cases not to create law to fix what the judge views as "problems" with the laws passed by Congress.
The entire Democrat social agenda from coddling criminals to abortion to redefining sex as gender has been imposed on America by activist judges on the Supreme Court.
Congress voted against redefining sex as gender multiple times.
Legalizing abortion by judicial fiat overturned the laws passed by all 50 states including ultra liberal New York.
51,000,000 Americans voted against redefining marriage.
Yet the same Democrats who bitch about the electoral college being unfair are perfectly happy that 5 unelected lawyers who are mostly white and all well off financially could legalize abortion, redefine marriage, and let men compete in women's sports.
That's why they will fight ACB tooth and nail. Not because she'll legislate conservative causes from the bench but because she won't act as a queen and impose her beliefs on us.
Democrats are using many different attacks on her; she's a racist because she adopted Black kids being the most bizarre at the moment.
One of those is that she'll overturn Obamacare.
In order to make that argument compelling the very same Democrats who've spent the last year telling us how horrible Obamacare is and how it has to be replaced with one of their new schemes have to suddenly turn on a dime and declare Obamacare to be great.
After all if Obamacare is as bad as those Democrats have been saying why would anyone care if ACB would overturn it?
What's interesting is that Democrats won't talk about the history that would make it possible for her to overturn Obamacare.
You may already know but if you don't here's a short refresher course:
1) In order to get Democrats to support Obamacare it couldn't include new taxes. Obama's henchmen said that if people refused to buy Obamacare coverage they'd have to pay a fine. That allowed Obama to lie to us about how it didn't include new taxes.
2)However some smart people took the law to the Supreme Court because the Constitution doesn't allow Congress to collect fees from Americans if those Americans refuse to do something.
3)The Supreme Court agreed that Obamacare as written was unconstitutional.
4)If the Court had been honest they would have ruled that way and then required Congress, through the democratic process, to revise Obamacare to include new taxes not fees.
5)But because we the people hated Obamacare so much we'd voted the Democrats out so they couldn't get a revised Obamacare through the Congress
6)Because the Supreme Court loves Democrats instead of making the Democrats sell Obamacare with taxes to the American people the Court decided to rewrite the law for them skipping the whole bothersome convince the people and have Congress vote on new laws thing.
7)The Supreme Court declared that when one reads the law that was voted on one is to replace the word "fee" with the word "tax". The Court did not rule that every Obama speech, every Democrat talking point, every Democrat claim that stated that Obamacare didn't involve any new taxes be changed.
Essentially the Supreme Court gave itself the full authority of Congress and the President to pass a new law.
That's why if we have a majority of honest judges on the Supreme Court Obamacare is at risk. Honest judges, like ACB, know that they don't have the authority to revise and pass laws; that power belongs to the elected branches of government.
It still however doesn't explain why the same Democrats who've been condemning Obamacare for months would be bothered if Obamacare was returned to Congress for revision.
The reason for that is that Democrats know that telling Americans ACB shouldn't be on the court because we need to ensure that abortion is legal for any reason at any point in pregnancy isn't a winning position given that 81% of Americans support very significant limitations on abortion.
The "she'll repeal Obamacare" charge is just a made up thing; like the sexual assault charges against Kavanaugh where the most credible woman the Democrats could find didn't remember when or where she was "attacked" and whose life long female friend said that no party like the woman described had ever occurred.
All that ACB could do would be to vote with the majority in saying that Obamacare is constitutional so long as the Congress revises it to change fees to taxes.
It would be the fact that the voters won't elect people to pass Obamacare that would keep Obamacare from being kept in place.
