Obamacare Impact: The American Dream is in Trouble
June 25, 2012 at 7:19 pm in News, Obamacare Impact Stories by Tea Party Patriots 2 Comments
Students have the most to lose, both now and down the road. Many students are left with nothing but frustration and uncertainty as they see their dreams slip away. Education funding will likely decrease across the board, as states make cuts to pay for expanded government programs like Medicaid. Because of increasing costs and violation of religious freedom (not to mention Moral Consciousness), the Franciscan University of Steubenville was the first to drop school health insurance. Other religious institutions are expected to follow.
As a medical student, I worry about the future of health care. Health care decision making should be between a physician and patient, not by Washington DC. Increased government takeover will only lead to restricted access to care, as well as a decline in the quality of care. Like many others, my own dream about improving the lives of others is on the line as well. How is a person supposed to get better with restricted access to care!? To put it simply- They Don’t!
However you look at it, Obamacare comes back to bite you. The biggest impact Obamacare has had on students and young people is the weakened economy. According to Forbes, 60% of college graduates cannot find work in their field. CBS reports that a half of college grads can’t find full time jobs. Even the teen unemployment rate is three times the national average.
In the end, the added debt due to Obamacare will leave our generation with higher taxes and a weaker America. The window of opportunity to undo this nightmare is closing, fast. We must act now and restore the American Dream!

We should hold these truths to be self-evident.
Health care should be a fundamental unalienable Right for all citizens.
The health of a nation should not be a commodity to be bought or sold.
Without health there can be no Life.
Without health there can be no Liberty.
Without health there can be no pursuit of happiness.
“When it shall be said in any country in the world my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want; the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am a friend of its happiness: When these things can be said, there may that country boast its Constitution and its Government”
― Thomas Paine, Rights Of Man
Corporations are not people.
Money is not free speech.
Jim, Corporations are not people? Are your serious………. mine is, it’s made up of myself, brother and father.
Sometimes if feel like shutting everything down, letting 30+ people go and living on your dollar for a while…….. or do you even have a job?
Every person in this country has health care, this was about who is going to pay for it..
I pray for my kids and grandchildren, the country that I grew up in is no longer exist.
