BiGWand™ is honored to have a first time guest blog post written by Virginia State Senator Dick Black. Senator Black was a Marine Colonel, who flew 269 combat helicopter missions in Vietnam. While in office, he was the only member of the Virginia General Assembly to hold the Purple Heart Medal for wounds received in battle. Senator Black is a strong conservative who has fought for our nation on the battlefield, in the courtroom, and in the legislature. To read more about Senator Black's distinguished career click here.
Senator's Black's post goes hand in hand with today's video from Ken Cuccinelli's Community Chat Q & A session held on August 10, 2013, posted at www.BiGWand.net. Attorney General Cuccinelli explains how this train wreck of a law will impact our state and what precautions have been put in place to protect Virginia.
SENATOR BLACK:
WHY I OPPOSE MEDICAID EXPANSION
WHY I OPPOSE MEDICAID EXPANSION
One of the largest welfare
expansions in history!
This is the biggest
welfare expansion since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society program.
Obamacare's Medicaid expansion is intended to force Virginia to add
400,000 people to the welfare rolls.
States have power to reject Medicaid expansion. Fortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the requirement for states to expand Medicaid. We're left to decide whether to establish an Obamacare health insurance exchange and whether to add nearly a half-million Virginians to the welfare rolls.
I won't vote to socialize our healthcare system. Obamacare is a vast socialization of one-sixth of our economy. I'm not a socialist or a communist, and as far as I'm concerned, if they want to socialize healthcare, they'll do it without my help.
Blocking Obamacare requires blocking Medicaid expansion and refusing to establish a state insurance exchange. I consistently voted against Medicaid expansion and against laying groundwork for a Virginia Health Insurance Exchange. The Governor said Virginia wouldn't establish a state-based exchange or expand Medicaid, but his administration has quietly done the opposite.
Obamacare has begun to collapse under its own weight. On July 2, 2013, President Obama was announced his plan to delay the unpopular employer mandates until after the 2014 elections so as to protect those who supported the plan in the Legislature.
Obamacare is a slow-motion train wreck. Democrat Senator Max Baucus, who helped draft the law, now calls it a "train wreck." He decided not to run for reelection rather than defend his handiwork, which he admits is a failure. Insurance companies have begun pulling out of some states with exchanges.
No one can comprehend Obamacare. The bill was almost a quarter million words long. There are now 20,000 pages of regulations that would make a stack seven feet tall. Nancy Pelosi said we'd have to pass the law to comprehend it. She was wrong. Life is too short; no human can ever comprehend the act or its growing stack of regulations.
IRS can't be trusted to enforce Obamacare fairly. IRS has admitted targeting conservatives for "special scrutiny." Anyone who thinks the federal government won't withhold needed surgery from people it dislikes is blissfully ignorant of just how oppressive the federal government has become.
We need to repeal Obamacare. Medicaid expansion or setting up a state-run health care exchange would facilitate socialism in America. If President Obama wants socialized medicine, he'll have to get it without my help.
I won't vote for Medicaid expansion, and I urge everyone to obstruct Obamacare in any lawful way.
