Senate Democrats: Why Didn’t Someone Tell Us Obamacare Would Cut Medicare?

Yeah they passed the bill to see what was in it

But wait………………….didn’t the Democrats say that it was the Republicans that were going to throw granny off the cliff when it came to health care by taking away her Medicare benefits? And isn’t it Democrats who have been touting the philosophy that Americans have “the right to choose” but if you “choose” to keep your health insurance that Democrats deem “sub-standard” you can’t keep it? If a man chooses to keep a health insurance policy that doesn’t cover him for maternity care, well, boys and girls, that’s just substandard and he needs Obamaacare, at a much higher price, of course.

Well, I choose to drive a gas guzzling diesel pick up truck, and I would choose to have a toilet that uses six gallons of water that requires only one flush to operate, not the 1.6 gallon job that requires 2-3 flushes, if I were allowed to own one by the Democrats. I would choose to have the city spraying DDT to kill the C-130 mosquitos that infect my year after a hard rain, but then, the Democrats decided that would be bad so I can’t. So what if a bunch of kids die because they banned it?

The Democrats don’t want you to have “choice.” They want you to have what they want you serfs to have. They are so much more intellectual than you so they should be able to make those choices for you, especially if you want to kill your unborn child. Then they think you can choose that option, just as long as you don’t drop that baby in a toilet that uses 6 gallons of water.

My domestic water well was completed to over 400′, in a high-pressure aquifer that makes it an artesian that can bring water to the surface (overflowing in the pump-house) at certain times of the tidal year. (Folks, that’s 400’+ of rebound.) What’s my point?

If my current toilet needs to be replaced, I will have to buy a WATER-SAVING john.

Excuse me: water-saving? The only other well on this aquifer is over a mile away and there is no other demand.
Clowns.

Unless you drive to Canada or buy an “antique” refurbished commode, you cannot find a real, 5+ gallon-per-flush unit. “Low Flow” toilets have been mandated for years, thanks to “environmental” regulations out of EPA.

I understand that but you said:

And I wondered how it would be enforced. The government mandating them in manufacturing and actually requiring you to buy one are two different things. I know when I bought my present house, there was no mention of what kind of toilet was required. And when installing a new bathroom in a house in Louisiana, there is no requirement that it be a ‘low flow’.

@Redteam:

And I wondered how it would be enforced.

It’s enforced because if you have to purchase a replacement toilet, you can’t get one that has a greater GPF than 1.6 gallons. The government doesn’t tell you “It’s illegal to buy a toilet that requires 6.0 GPF” they just tell the manufacturers its illegal to sell them. Just like we will never be told that it is illegal to purchase a car that only gets 18 mpg, the government just places pressure on the auto industry not to build them.

It all boils down to enforcement due to availability.

@Redteam:

Yes. If you can find a used, or old stock, 6.0 GPF toilet, you can install it in your own home. Who would know? Oh, that’s right. This government is now tracking all of us because, you know, guys who use 6.0 GPF toilets are much more dangerous, according to John Kerry who says global warming climate change is a greater threat than terrorism, than the actual terrorists who blow people up at marathons or slaughter people at military bases.
