That's okay, Libertas.  Alan Grayson (Floridians re-elected that lunatic) and Jan Shakowksi have introduced a bill which would make it illegal for businesses to downgrade their employees to part-timers, so that'll fix things.

And, additionally...even if anything is made illegal...wtf is gonna enforce it?

Moonbat effing nuts does not begin to explain these looters!!!

In the name of the general welfare, to protect the people's security, to achieve full equality and total stability, it is decreed for the duration of the national emergency that:
Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board, such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.
Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.
Point Three. All patents and copyrights, pertaining to any devices, inventions, formulas, processes and works of any nature whatsoever, shall be turned over to the nation as a patriotic emergency gift by means of Gift Certificates to be signed voluntarily by the owners of all such patents and copyrights. The Unification Board shall then license the use of such patents and copyrights to all applicants, equally and without discrimination, for the purpose of eliminating monopolistic practices, discarding obsolete products and making the best available to the whole nation. No trademarks, brand names or copyrighted titles shall be used. Every formerly patented product shall be known by a new name and sold by all manufacturers under the same name, such name to be selected by the Unification Board. All private trademarks and brand names are hereby abolished.
Point Four. No new devices, inventions, products, or goods of any nature whatsoever, not now on the market, shall be produced, invented, manufactured or sold after the date of this directive. The Office of Patents and Copyrights is hereby suspended.
Point Five. Every establishment, concern, corporation or person engaged in production of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth produce the same amount of goods per year as it, they or he produced during the Basic Year, no more and no less. The year to be known as the Basic or Yardstick Year is to be the year ending on the date of this directive. Over or under production shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Unification Board.
Point Six. Every person of any age, sex, class or income, shall henceforth spend the same amount of money on the purchase of goods per year as he or she spent during the Basic Year, no more and no less. Over or under purchasing shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Unification Board.
Point Seven. All wages, prices, salaries, dividends, profits, interest rates and forms of income of any nature whatsoever, shall be frozen at their present figures, as of the date of this directive.
Point Eight. All cases arising from and rules not specifically provided for in this directive, shall be settled and determined by the Unification Board, whose decisions will be final.[1]-Directive 10-289

[Libertas]

Yes, my bad, I was skipping a step...10-289 should preceed Order 66.  Didn't mean to screw anybody out a few more fleeting moments of life...

"Atlas Shrugged"?

[Libertas]

Yes.  10-289 is from Atlas, Order 66 from StarWars.

Different visions to the same ending...

10 reasons why obamacare will ruin medical care and your life

Here are the ten most important points that I tell my patients:

1.Your private insurance premiums will cost more and more each year.

2.You will lose the choices and flexibility in health insurance policies that we have had available up until now.

3.As reimbursements continue to drop, fewer and fewer doctors will take Medicare (for those 65 and older) or Medicaid (people younger than 65).

4.Fewer doctors accepting Medicare and Medicaid causes an increase in wait times for appointments and a decrease in the numbers and types of specialists available on these plans. Consumers would be wise to line up their doctors now.

5.Studies from various organizations and states have consistently shown that Medicaid recipients have longer waits for medical care, fewer options for specialists, poorer medical outcomes, and die sooner after surgeries than people with no health insurance at all. Yet an increasing number of Americans will be forced into this second-class medical care.

6.As more people enter the taxpayer-funded plans (Medicare and Medicaid) instead of paying for private insurance, the costs to provide this increased medical care and medications will escalate, leading to higher taxes.

7.With no eligibility verifications in place, millions of people who are in the US illegally will be able to access taxpayer-funded medical services, making longer lines, longer wait times, and less money available for medical care for American citizens… unless taxes are increased even more.

8.Higher expenditures to provide medical services lead to rationing of medical care and treatment options to reduce costs. This is the mandated function of the Independent Payment Advisory Board: to cut costs by deciding which types of medical services to allow… or disallow.
If you are denied treatment, you have no appeal of IPAB decisions; you are simply out of luck, and possibly out of life. This is a radical departure from the appeals process required for all private health insurance plans. Further, the IPAB is accountable only to President Obama, and cannot be overridden by Congress or the courts. IPAB is designed to have the final word on your health.

9.Under current regulations, if medical care is denied by Medicare, then a patient is not allowed to pay cash to a Medicare-contracted physician or hospital or other health professional. Patients who need medical care that is denied under Medicare or Medicaid will find themselves having to either: 1) look for an independent physician or hospital (quite rare these days); or 2) go outside the USA for treatment.

10.Expect a loss of medical privacy. Beginning in 2014, if you participate in government health insurance, your health records will be sent to a centralized federal database, with or without your consent.
Oh, is that all?

That's okay, Libertas.  Alan Grayson (Floridians re-elected that lunatic) and Jan Shakowksi have introduced a bill which would make it illegal for businesses to downgrade their employees to part-timers, so that'll fix things.   

Just another example of how all these things are features, not bugs. Democrats acting like they got caught flatfooted by some supposed oversight but -- don't worry! -- they're going to fix it. They're going to fix it by unleashing another coercive measure. This is why most things are a win-win for socialists, even when they supposedly screw up they get to offer a correction in the form of more and more government.

Once you start down the path of taking from some and giving to others, the whole thing becomes an unstoppable avalanche of coercion. People find workarounds and other ways to avoid this or that diktat, so they clamp down on that with more coercion. A managed economy is nothing else but a managed population.

God, these people.

The Roman Emperor, I forgot which one, did the same thing and the penalty was enslavement or death. Are we there yet? FOr even suggesting this, they should be dragged into the streets and hacked to death..

[John Florida]

  It's a bullsh*t minority vote move. The low information voter will see it as making sense and not even know that it can't be done,It's another fundraiser.
