NYT Admits Obamacare Nothing More Than A Socialist Redistribution Scheme

The New York Times has finally admitted a fundamental truth about former President Barack Obama’s widely panned health care law, the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.

“Obamacare raised taxes on high earners and the health care industry, and essentially redistributed that income — in the form of health insurance or insurance subsidies — to many of the groups that have fared poorly over the last few decades,” the notoriously leftist rag conceded.

Exactly!

It is and has always been nothing more than a socialist redistribution scheme to rob so-called “high earners” — *cough* the MIDDLE CLASS *cough* — and funnel their hard-earned money into the pockets of those who “fared poorly.”

Of course, Obamacare neglects to consider the factors that have led some to faring poorly. If someone chooses to be a pot-smoking hipster doofus, for instance, he’s entitled to as much of our money via Obamacare as a disabled veteran who genuinely deserves help.

Why? Because in the mind of former President Obama, anyone who lacks financial security is a victim, regardless of his or her personal decisions.

Are you poor because you play video games all day? THEN YOU’RE A VICTIM!

Are you poor because you wasted all your money on drugs? THEN YOU’RE A VICTIM!

Are you poor because you avoid working out of laziness? THEN YOU’RE A VICTIM!

Are you poor because you chose to not pay attention in school? THEN YOU’RE A VICTIM!

You’re a victim, you’re a victim, you’re a victim — that, ladies and gentlemen, was the mantra championed by Barack Hussein Obama for eight whole years.

And unfortunately, that mantra wound up becoming the basis for a horrible law that continues to persist, despite GOP control of the White House, the House and the Senate.

Granted, the House and the Senate have at least begun forming possible repeal/replace bills — though to be quite frank, the proposals offered by them so far sound more like Obamacare Lite than anything.

But even given that, the Left is nevertheless frantic with fear that Republicans intend to “redistribute” all this money back into the hands of its original owners.

Except that allowing the money to flow back into the hands of those who actually earned it wouldn’t be a form of redistribution, dear snowflakes. It’d be Republicans finally undoing the socialist mess your martyr, Barack Hussein Obama, left us with.
