Obamacare Troubles
Obamacare’s purpose is to expand health care to those who did not have [health care]. The process included democratic advocacy groups signing people up for coverage. It affected businesses that could not afford the insurance. People had their policies cancelled. We still do not know how many people have health insurance versus those who do not.

The California legislative and California Health Insurance Exchange gave millions in taxpayer dollars to community organizers and unions. They have recruited people to enroll in Obamacare and sign up to be the democratic voting majority. This came about thru Senate Bill 35 which was sponsored by Senator Alex Padilla who is now running for Secretary of State. It allows voter registration to be part of the health insurance exchange.

Obamacare also has a negative impact on employment. Businesses with fewer than 50 employees and who work less than 30 hours a week are not required to provide health insurance. This resulted in businesses cutting staff and hours, due to the unaffordability of increased health insurance premiums.

Nearly five million people have had their health insurance policies cancelled because of Obamacare. Their coverage did not meet the law’s specifications for covered benefits. Many of them do not qualify for government subsidies and could not purchase the more expensive health plan. This resulted in people opting out of medical coverage. The IRS will now fine them and have access to our medical information.

Please contact your elected representative’s to repeal Obamacare. Reference www.calwatchdog.com.
