Obamacare... an oxymoron

I was listening to the podcast of Rush Limbaugh's Friday show. And along with other things he mentioned Obamacare. This is the common term used for the sickening piece of legislation this administration passed in March.

Upon thinking about this I decided that really, that term is an oxymoron. Because, in fact, Obama does not care. If he did care, he would not have signed the piece of legislation that hands over 1/6 of our economy to the government. A bill that allows the government to decide whether or not you get treatment. A bill that increases the interest on student loans in order to pay for health care. A bill that funds abortions with OUR money. And most importantly, a bill that 55% of Americans oppose.

Does this sound like a man that cares for you? Does it sound like someone who cares about what the American people want? Does it sound like a leader?

I get that calling it health care reform is just as bad. Obamacare was coined to call it what it is, a total health care overhaul by one man who has decided what is best for you and your family. But I think putting Obama and care in the same word is a terrible misappropriation.

Calling anything Obamacare is like calling something Pelosipretty or Bidenclassy. It makes no sense. It's an oxymoron.

So I've come up with a few alternatives. They are slightly more appropriate considering the bill in question. Maybe destroy doctors care. Or perhaps bankrupt the heath industry care. Or you're not worth saving care. All of these are very applicable. I think the last one is the catchiest.

Unfortunately, Obamacare has already become the term of choice these days. I do believe it is a more fitting term than the liberals use. While I hope "you're not worth saving care" catches on, I think the most important thing is to stop this bill by supporting those who want to repeal it.

Which is where I will pick up next time. I just hope that now when you talk about you're not worth saving care and you hear the term "Obamacare" you'll think of the paradox the term carries.
