Obamacare only 'fair' to criminals

Health care for everyone! What a hippie, dippie concept. Reality is that the millions of people who refuse to work and the millions of present and future illegal aliens will soon have health insurance. And since we all know they can't pay for it, guess who will? Now all drug dealers, sexual predators, gang members and other assorted criminals will have health care cards the same as working men and women. And you will pay for it all because this president says it's "fair."

Throw in food stamps, rent and utility subsidies, and cash grants the first of each month and President Obama has finally pushed America to the point where there is no incentive to work at all.

Combine all of these freebies with drug sales, under-the-table employment and a myriad of other hustles and you see that this will very soon be a lucrative career choice.

This president has promised to protect present and future illegal aliens. When they realize they can get free health care cards, we will see millions more people suddenly appear on the American landscape. If all of this is "fair," then we may as well give free houses to the homeless.
