He's not a socialist


For a while, I've made the case the the Obamunists were not socialist at all. Instead, I like to refer to them as "Regulists".

You see if you are a socialist, (meaning the goods and services are provided by the government) you are accountable for price increases, shortages, and inefficiencies etc.

But the Regulists are more evil than that.

You see they just regulate companies and industries and when they pass along huge cost increases to their customers as a result of government regulation, they become the bad guys, not the Regulists who put the wheels in motion in the first place.

They just join the chants against the evil capitalist system.

No where has this been more prevalent than the health insurance business.

Want to know why companies are discontinuing health car? Maybe this is why............

The Franciscan University of Steubenville has announced it will drop health insurance coverage for students because the cost of the plan is expected to double under Obamacare. The university also took issue with a federal mandate that their insurance plan provide free birth control.

The small Catholic school in Ohio posted a statement on their website stating they “will not participate in a plan that requires us to violate the consistent teachings of the Catholic Church on the sacredness of human life.”

The university told Fox News that in addition to dropping its student insurance coverage, it will no longer require students to carry insurance. The university said it would maintain their current health insurance coverage for employees.

”This is putting people in a position where they are having to choose between their faith and their morality — and now an unjust cost,” said Mike Hernon, vice president of advancement. “These sorts of regulations from the government are forcing our hand in a way that’s really wrong.”

Hernon said students must have insurance – either through their parent’s policy or through the university’s basic plan. The plan currently costs approximately $600 per year. However, Hernon said their health care provider informed them that under Obamacare, the policy would double in price to $1,200 and the following year it would triple.

“We couldn’t believe the price (increase),” he told Fox News. “We had them go back and reconfirm it. They said it was dictated by coverage limits that were released by the Obama administration.”

Who do you think will be the first out there holding a pitch fork complaining about those evil health care profits?
