With the election right around the corner, the media is talking about the real, important issues facing the American people — Big Bird, bayonets, and binders. In the heart of America, however, the Tea Party Patriots have been educating the public on what exactly the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) will do to the American health care system.
The main thrust of this effort is The Determinators, the first original Tea Party Patriots film. A mere 58 minutes long, it delves into some of the most important flaws in the Affordable Care Act, including its rationing capabilities and violations of some of the most basic rights of Americans — including freedom to not have insurance.
The launch of The Determinators officially took place on October 17, when thousands of Tea Party activists around the country showed the film at their homes. Tea Party Patriots then shipped 360,000 copies to undecided voters across America. The final part of the push was the publication of the YouTube page for The Determinators. As of earlier this afternoon, this 58-minute film had over 445,000 views in only nine days — an impressive average of 40,000 viewers per day.
Since the start of the general election, both candidates seem to have decided to focus on the debt and the economy — well, at least Governor Romney has — almost to the detriment of pointing out how negative Obamacare is for America. The Affordable Care Act does little good for the country, and plenty of bad, including centralizing control of the lives of citizens and increasing taxes by over $700 billion.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court ruled Obamacare constitutional. So we are left with only one reasonable option to prevent its full implementation: repeal it in its entirety. This won’t happen unless the public actually realizes how bad the law is, which is why Tea Party Patriots launched The Determinators.
With politicians launching tired ad after tired ad, many Americans find the Tea Party’s focus on principles refreshing. If you haven’t already watched the movie, I encourage you to do so. Then reach out to undecided voters and inform them of the devastating effects of Obamacare that will impact our nation unless it is repealed in its entirety.

Please by this on to ROSS KAMINSKY.
Ross, watch it if you have the balls to do so.
This film will show you CLEARLY why social issues other than your bank account are critical to public and political discourse and the survival of a free Republic. Wake up fool. You think you stand for liberty and the sovereignty of the individual. You know nothing.

I hate this worse than you, Quin, but while you MAY be able to use the vile Obamacare to get rid of Obama(I doubt it), you will NEVER see it repealed. Any more than Social Security or any of the other things that enraged many at first but later became things even they began to think of as "theirs".
Repeal used to be viable when we actually went through an amendment process to increase the powers of .gov, like say with Prohibition. Not any more, buddy. While the facades of a Republic may still be in place you will find the workings behind them is no longer what they were. They don't work for being the beacon of human liberty now, just for the expansion of the central State.

Very sobering and gut-wrenchingly scary. We are in a very dark place as a country. I pray for God's mercy even though we deserve his judgment, which the passage of Obamacare and the election of its namesake surely already are.

We now have Medicare and Medicaid refusing to fund hospital trips within 30 days or so of the last one. So if you recover from an operation and fall down the stairs, you are out of luck.

geronl, et al,
Please do not use MediCARE and MediCAID in the same sentence. They are not the same...One is an entitlement that is due to folks who have paid for it (Medicare) and the other is more wealth transfer (charity)...medicaid.
while we are on the subject...Veteran's Beneifts & Military retirement, social security and medicare are all entitlements. They are benefits that people have gained "title" to...ie they are property. Welfare, Food Stamps and Medicaid are NOT entitlements. People receiving them have not earned them or paid for them. They are charity pure and simple.
It may be true that the folks receiving food stamps have an "entitlement mentality," but that's a separate issue.

I saw this video and it is truly scary. Dr. Gray makes a compelling case for the repeal of ObamaCare (actually should be called ObamaDoesn'tCare). This awful plan will end medicine as we know it in this country. There is nothing good for the future of our nation is O is reelected.
