\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: “Eleven Republican attorneys general…” By the way, that is the correct way to say it. Obama says “attorney generals.” He\u2019s Harvard educated, and he says that, just like “corpseman,” in the Marines, and 57 states and other things. Regardless, “Eleven Republican attorneys general say that the Obama [Regime] is breaking the law by repeatedly making changes to Obamacare without going through Congress,” and they\u2019re right. <\/p>\n

“The attorneys general specifically criticize Obama\u2019s executive action that allowed insurance companies to keep offering health plans that had been cancelled for not meeting Obamacare\u2019s more rigorous standards.” This is the old “if you like your doctor, you can keep it.” Well, that was a lie. You were never gonna be able to keep your doctor. You were never gonna be able to keep your plan. Never. It was a three-year lie. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So when the lie was exposed and the public opinion on Obama and Obamacare began to plummet, the president went out there and said, “You know what? Okay, I\u2019m gonna do a deal for you. If you want your old plan, I\u2019m going to allow the insurance companies to offer it to you for another year,” and the insurance companies said, “We can\u2019t. We\u2019ll be in violation of the law. The plans that we were offering aren\u2019t legal anymore.” <\/p>\n

One of the reasons — and there were many. One of the reasons is that practically every Obamacare policy must include contraceptives, birth control pills, abortifacients and whatever else. Whether you want \u2019em or not, whether you need \u2019em or not, you\u2019ve gotta pay for other people. Well, your previous plan didn\u2019t have that. The Regime requires that practically every new plan contain that ingredient, and therefore you couldn\u2019t keep your old plan. So then Obama just made a snap of the fingers.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m going to allow the insurance companies to continue to offer same for one year, which conveniently would take you past the November midterm elections.” The insurance companies said, “Wait a minute. Those are long gone. We just can\u2019t offer them. We can\u2019t break the law.” It\u2019s gotten to the point now where the insurance companies — and this is also by design. The insurance companies just can\u2019t keep up. <\/p>\n

There is no way that they can even operate anywhere close to profitability, which means they\u2019re soon to go out of business, which is also by design. But now the Regime… You may have heard the whispers. The Regime is floating the possibility of maybe bailing out the insurance companies just for a while. Now, the Regime and everybody the Democrat Party, their dream is socialized, nationalized medicine. That\u2019s called “single payer.”<\/p>\n

The term “single payer” sounds great, and it is a disguise term. Single payer? Well, yeah, I\u2019m all for that Mabel, single payer. But what it really means is bye-bye private-sector health care and insurance. It means the government is in charge of all of it, and most people don\u2019t want that. Single payer doesn\u2019t really convey that to the low-information voter. That\u2019s what the Democrats want. <\/p>\n

But they\u2019re not ready for it, as we see. <\/p>\n

They can\u2019t even run what they\u2019ve done now. They can\u2019t even do this. It\u2019s just an absolute disaster. So they need a little more time to get ready for single payer<\/a>, which means they need the insurance companies in the private sector to stay in business a little longer than they intended, which means they may have to bail \u2019em out like they bailed out GM and like they bailed out a bunch of “green” sector energy companies and so forth, and like they bailed out anybody else they wanted to bail out, bankers and Wall Street. <\/p>\n

They may have to bail out the insurance companies, and that would be an absolute disaster. We don\u2019t have to money for this kind of thing. It\u2019s just a total disaster. So what these attorneys general are doing, finally… If you have a president who\u2019s gonna ignore the Constitution, he\u2019s gonna get away with it if there\u2019s no push-back. He\u2019s gonna get away with it, if nobody says, “No, stop, you can\u2019t.” He\u2019s gonna get away with it if there\u2019s no challenge. So it\u2019s at least a start. <\/p>\n

But that means that there are 38 or so other state attorneys general who are not joining the lawsuit. Many of them are Democrat. Of course, they\u2019re not gonna join Republicans in this. But in so doing, they are endorsing impeachable acts by the president. They\u2019re endorsing it. He\u2019s behaving in ways that are illegal. He does not have the constitutional authority to do what he\u2019s doing. He can\u2019t just snap his fingers and change any law, whether it\u2019s got his name on it or not.<\/p>\n

But he\u2019s doing it, and this is an attempt to stop it. <\/p>\n

There are a lot of people helping this effort, and we\u2019ll see where it goes, but it\u2019s about time that we had some push-back on this. Now, the Republican Party hasn\u2019t pushed back because the Republican Party believes the American people don\u2019t have a problem with this, and they\u2019re just scared to death of what the public might think of them for stopping Obama from doing something. So they\u2019re just totally acquiescent in whatever Obama wants to do. <\/p>\n

But these 11 attorneys general finally had their fill, they\u2019ve had enough, and they say that everything that Obama\u2019s doing here — this latest health care “fix” — is flatly illegal under federal, constitutional and statutory law. Did you hear…? I don\u2019t have in front of me, so I may not have this dead to rights. Didn\u2019t the Regime send out some e-mail to people warning supporters about how to deal with a potential impeachment of Obama or some such thing? (interruption)<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah. Yeah. That\u2019s right. It\u2019s a fundraising warning. The Democrats are fundraising off of a phantom, potential impeachment of Obama. There isn\u2019t gonna be any impeachment of Obama. The Republican Party would have to do that. Do not doubt me: They\u2019re not going to go anywhere near that. That isn\u2019t gonna happen. So the Democrats are using these phony scare tactics, fundraising off of that. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Dusty in Charleston, West Virginia. Great to have you on Open Line Friday. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. How are you, sir?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fine. Thank you much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I was calling pointing out that during the push for the Affordable Care Act, the president and other supporters of the law were constantly referencing the possibility that someone could lose their life savings, lose everything they have in the event that they didn\u2019t have adequate coverage and would, you know, fall ill or have some sort of accident.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. “One illness away from bankruptcy.”<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. Right. When the conversation started, they immediately eliminated tort reform from the equation, and that just goes against that kind of belief. I don\u2019t know why the president doesn\u2019t share the same sentiment that a business owner, small business owner or physician could lose everything that they have, everything that they worked for to build up their business or their practice, if they were to have to go through some sort of litigation or some sort of frivolous lawsuit or malpractice.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you being serious?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Or you\u2019re being facetious?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. I mean, I think I know the answer to the question. But, I mean, I\u2019m just pointing it out. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, because this president doesn\u2019t care about that. Small business is the villain.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Business is the villain. The free market, capitalism, the private sector is the villain. They\u2019re where all the mean people are that don\u2019t care about their employees\u2019 health care, and so the government has to come in and do it for \u2019em. So the tort bar suing people left and right, putting them out of business, is exactly what they deserve. That\u2019s what your modern Democrat Party believes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
