Nic Horton Medicaid Expansion will “Cost Almost Double than Doing Nothing” part I
It is amazing to me that Repubican lawmakers are considering taking President Obama’s advice on anything in light of this article below.
Here’s Your Free Health Care. Would You Care to Vote?
The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard writes:
The 61-page online Obamacare draft application for health care includes asking if the applicant wants to register to vote, raising the specter that pro-Obama groups being tapped to help Americans sign up for the program will also steer them to register with the Democratic Party.
That may strike some as unseemly. After all, people go to jail for buying votes. But the real problem here is that ObamaCare is paying too much.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the average subsidy ObamaCare offers for private health insurance will rise from $5,500 next year to more than $8,000 in 2023. But according to the Washington Post:
The price of one bona fide, registered American vote varies from place to place. But it is rarely more than a tank of gas.
Indeed, as a rising furor over voter fraud has prodded some states to mount extensive efforts against illegal voters, election-fraud cases more often involve citizens who sell their votes, usually remarkably cheaply. In West Virginia over the past decade, the cost was as low as $10. Last year in West Memphis, Ark., a statehouse candidate used $2 half-pints of vodka.
At the high end, corrupt candidates in Clay County, Ky., once paid $100. But that was probably too much: It attracted one woman who already had sold her vote. The man who bought it first was outraged, and he beat up the man who bought it second.
ObamaCare overpays for everything.
Cartoons from Dan Mitchell’s blog on Obamacare
Third-Party Payer is the Biggest Economic Problem With America’s Health Care System
Published on Jul 10, 2012
This mini-documentary from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation explains that “third-party payer” is the main problem with America’s health care system. This is why undoing Obamacare, while desirable, is just a small first step if we want to reduce costs and boost efficiency

I have put up lots of cartoons from Dan Mitchell’s blog before and they have got lots of hits before. Many of them have dealt with the economy, eternal unemployment benefits, socialism, Greece, welfare state or on gun control.
These cartoons are sad but true.
Obamacare May Be a Joke, but We’re Paying a Heavy Price for some Amusing Cartoons
March 30, 2013 by Dan Mitchell
I’m not sure why political cartoonists have been revisiting the issue of Obamacare in recent days, but I’ve been enjoying their humor.
I shared three funny cartoons a couple of days ago, adding to my collection of Obamacare humor (see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here).
Now let’s enjoy three more, beginning with this gem from Lisa Benson.
Though we shouldn’t laugh at this cartoon. As we saw with both Medicaid and Medicare, entitlement programs routinely cost far more than original projections.
If you somehow think Obamacare might be different, watch this video.
Gary Varvel hits a different part of Obamacare, noting that the President’s promise of lower premiums is an utter fantasy.
And Michael Ramirez looks at the big picture.
