Pawn Stars frontman Rick Harrison visited the studios of Fox and Friends for a quick interview and chat. The conversation, however, quickly went from jovial to dark when Obamacare was brought up.
“It’s really difficult to do business sometimes; just for my little pawn shop, the insurance for my employees went from $19,000/month to $30,000 last month,” said Harrison. The rest of the Fox and Friends cast were shocked at the increase.
Harrison continued his explanation on how ridiculous Obamacare is when he defeatedly stated, “I have 60-year-old women working for me that have to have pregnancy coverage now. I have some of the squarest ex-cops working for me that now have to have drug rehab.” These kind of wide-sweeping “coverages” are causing premiums to skyrocket, sometimes even forcing small businesses to either cut hours or cut employees altogether.
Co-host Steve Doocey kept attempting to have Harrison confirm that number as if the small business owner had misspoken. Unfortunately, Harrison was speaking clearly about the subject. This is an all-too-familiar conversation that countless small business owners are being forced to have around our country. Luckily, Harrison has an incredibly popular television show to keep him afloat; other businesses aren’t so fortunate.
Why are women in their 60’s being forced into insurance coverage for potential pregnancy? Why are upstanding citizens being forced to pay for drug rehabilitation? Laws like these are the reason that the Democrats got completely crushed in the recent elections: People are getting fed up with a fascist mandate set forth by a president with delusions of grandeur.
In an interview with NPR, Whole Foods CEO John Mackey spoke out against Obamacare, “Technically speaking, it’s more like fascism. Socialism is where the government owns the means of production. In fascism, the government doesn’t own the means of production, but they do control it — and that’s what’s happening with our healthcare programs and these reforms.”
Even Liberal media puppet CNBC reports that, “Obamacare is taking a toll on small businesses, according to a new analysis of the effects of the health-care reform law, which found billions of dollars in reduced pay and hundreds of thousands fewer jobs. Take-home pay at small businesses was trimmed by some $22.6 billion annually because of the Affordable Care Act and related insurance premium hikes… Individual year-round employees at businesses with 50 to 99 workers lost $935 annually, while those at firms with 20 to 49 workers are out an average of $827.50 per person in take-home pay.”
The Conservative Tribune said it best: “Obamacare must be stopped, rolled back, and eventually repealed and replaced with free market and patient centered reforms. Those reforms could save the few good things from Obamacare, while shedding the rest of the burdensome government regulation that came with it.”
Everyone has a right to a healthy life, but Obamacare is obviously not the solution to a complicated problem. America can no longer allow Obama to force his fascist ideals on the people by hiding behind the defense that he is “doing good.” Whenever someone tries to argue against Obamacare, they’re instantly cataloged as “racist” or “pro-death.” That isn’t the case at all; it’s simply that these business owners need to figure out a way to stay afloat while keeping their employees happy, and Obamacare is NOT the answer.
