Like your health insurance? You may be losing it.
Like your health insurance? You may be losing it because of Obamacare.
I like this quote best:
“You’re going to be forcibly upgraded,” said Bob Laszewski, a health care industry consultant. “It’s like showing up at the airline counter and being told, ‘You have no choice, $300 please. You’re getting a first-class ticket, why are you complaining?'”
Sadly, I don’t think it will be this good. Many will decide the first class plan is simply unaffordable, and will instead opt out, paying the IRS fine instead. The result, fewer people having health insurance.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

What’s the real difference between this and being held up and forced to empty your wallet?
“Stick em up, this is your federal HHS and the IRS. About your healthcare insurance….you’ll either pay up now for this mandatory overpriced premium health policy or you’ll be fined, your wages will be garnished or you’ll go to jail. That’s your choice. Thank you for cooperating with your friendly federal IRS agent and HHS navigator thugs.”
This is the most un Constitutional law that has ever been conceived and passed in America, both party’s have finally found a way to control the people from birth to death.
All of these offences and abuses of power are beginning to add up.
“The result, fewer people having health insurance.”
But, I suspect, more people able to access health care, as they find the many providers I expect to go to a cash business model.
It’s been one of the Big Lies, promulgated by both parties, but mostly by Democrats, that health insurance is synonymous with health care. It isn’t, and never has been, but most people have been brainwashed into believing that it is so. Politicians want folks to believe that, because it gives them power.
As with most things, when you start throwing large amounts of money into a system (see Big Education), you disrupt market forces, leading to a ‘problem’ that needs to be ‘fixed’.
Yes, it’s the economic theory of “crowding out” whereby regulations, fees and barriers to entry force private enterprises out of business leaving only government agencies and those organizations accepting government subsidies to survive and thrive.
