ObamaCare to "Control" the People
http://www.breitbart.tv/shocking-audio-rep-dingell-says-obamacare-will-eventually-control-the-people

Hat tip: Powerlineblog
The Empire Strikes Back
We wrote here
about the consequences of Obamacare that are beginning to be felt, even
before its provisions are implemented: Caterpillar said Obamacare will
cost it an additional $100 million in the first year; Medtronic warned
that the new tax on its products "could force it to lay off a thousand
workers;" Verizon told its employees that it "will likely have to cut
healthcare benefits to offset the new costs;" and AT&T announced
that it will record a $1 billion non-cash expense in the first quarter
and "will be evaluating prospective changes to the active and retiree
health care benefits offered by the company."
Congressional Democrats, evidently stung by the bad publicity, are
trying to strike back.
Dems are now shaking down CEOs who don't get with the program. In the
attached letter, Henry
Waxman not only orders the CEOs of AT&T,
Caterpillar, Deere & Co, and Verizon to testify before the Energy
and Commerce Committee, but also to produce internal analyses and
emails related to their statements. They don't expressly subpoena the
CEOs, so we can hope that they tell the Dems to GFY, though somehow I
doubt that will happen.
