The opposite of freedom is enslavement -- the denial of the exercise of our
free will and free choice.
When a government engages in enslavement, under the guise of legislation
and taxation, it is tyranny.
Obamacare is exactly that -- and more -- as explained by *G. Keith Smith, MD
*is a board-certified anesthesiologist and the co-founder of The Surgery
Center of Oklahoma. <http://www.surgerycenterok.com>
In an article he wrote for the *Association of American Physicians and
Surgeons (AAPS)*, Dr. Smith points out that not only are Americans
*COMPELLED* against our will to participate in Obamacare because we can't
opt out of it, the Unaffordable Care Act is a Ponzi scheme that exploits
and enslaves young Americans who, under Obamacare, are *COMPELLED* to
acquire and pay for health insurance (which most of them, being young and
healthy, don't need) in order to subsidize the healthcare costs of older
and sicker Americans.
That is why the POS in the White House has unleashed his army of brain-dead
Hollyweird "celebrities" to pimp for Obamacare. Alas, too many young
Americans are themselves brain-dead and eager to lend their support to the
Unaffordable Care Act against their own interests.
Below is Dr. Keith Smith's article in its entirety.

By G. Keith Smith, M.D. - AAPS - Sept. 3, 2013
At a physician’s roundtable years ago, I asked Senator Orrin Hatch why I
couldn’t punch out of Social Security, happy to leave all that I had paid
“into the system” on the table. Why couldn’t anyone, I asked, willing to
leave behind all they had paid in, be allowed to walk away from these
entitlements, as long as they were willing to forgo a future claim to these
“benefits?”
He wouldn’t answer me. The answer is obvious, though, isn’t it? *Without
the current “contributions” of the young (and yes, draws on the credit line
of the unborn), the current beneficiaries would discover that these
programs were bankrupt.*
Virtually all of the legislators that brought us Medicare are dead and gone
now. All of the legislators who brought us Social Security are dead and
gone. This is no coincidence, for these men realized that it was
politically much more popular to give away government goodies paid for by
the young and unborn than to tax the very same people who were to “benefit”
from their “ideas” and “programs.”
Dead now, these criminal politicians have largely escaped the harsh
judgment they deserve for buying votes with property that would belong to
future generations. Currency depreciation (“inflation”—the current
political class’s favorite way to rob the young for the benefit of their
current constituents) has the same effect on future generations.
This is the essence of *a Ponzi scheme*. That is *a fraudulent investment
scheme that pays investors not out of profits but out of money paid in by
later investors.*
If you think about it, *all government programs are Ponzi schemes.* It is
becoming increasingly clear that the same can be said about the
[Un]Affordable Care Act. I call it the UCA, instead of the ACA.
*UCA can’t let young people out for the same reason that Social Security
can’t. Young workers aren’t paying or saving for their own benefits, but
for older, sicker people.*
* UCA rules force insurers to charge them more than they actually cost to
help offset the higher cost of insuring older and sicker people. *If the
young don’t sign up, premiums for everyone in the insurance pool will
dramatically increase, as will the cost to the government.
*People generally don’t volunteer to be overcharged so that strangers can
be undercharged. Hence the individual mandate, and tax penalties.*
Young adults are beginning to see the reality as the UCA takes shape, and
understand how they wind up losing from every angle. *Hence the $600
million advertising campaign and multimillion dollar Navigator program to
steer people into the program as quickly as possible. UCA promoters know
how hard it is to take away an entitlement once people are trapped in it.*
The idea is to entice people with subsidies so they won’t notice how
outrageous the premiums are. When enough are lured away from private
insurance—the “crowding out” effect shown so well with the Children’s
Health Insurance Program (CHIP)—private insurance will collapse. Like
Medicare beneficiaries now, all Americans will be without options for major
medical insurance.
*The success of the UCA hinges on the successful fleecing of the young
people. This is the same immoral basis for Medicare and Social Security,
“programs” that are still alive because participation in these Ponzi
schemes is involuntary. *With Bernie Madoff, at least people could take
their lumps, having learned their lesson and move on. They didn’t have to
continue to give him money after they learned what he was up to.
I am optimistic that today’s young people will reject the shackles that
many of their elders have embraced.

*In 1997, Dr. Keith Smith co-founded The Surgery Center of
Oklahoma<http://www.surgerycenterok.com>,
an outpatient surgery center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, owned by 40 of the
top physicians and surgeons in central Oklahoma. The center operates on the
principle of the free market and is arguably the only one of its kind in
the U.S., ****gaining the endorsement of policymakers and legislators
nationally. *Its website displays all-inclusive pricing for various
surgical procedures. Many Canadians and uninsured Americans have been
treated at his facility, taking advantage of the low and transparent
pricing available. More and more self-funded insurance plans are taking
advantage of Dr. Smith’s pricing model, resulting in significant savings to
their employee health plans. His hope is for as many facilities as possible
to adopt a transparent pricing model, a move he believes will lower costs
for all and improve quality of care.
