Susan Mehiel: The Man Behind the Curtain - Part 1
Obama and his government sanctioned community organizers
I came to the first announcements of Obama’s Affordable Care Act with an interesting background. I had spent much of my career in healthcare administration (marketing) and was familiar with the “man behind the curtain” nature of the Finance Guys who held the keys to the kingdom. Their computers held, among other things, the patient and system data that determined service reimbursement from insurance companies and government programs.
We newly minted healthcare marketers discovered a treasure trove of customer (patients) data including geographic and purchasing trends within the hospital finance departments. In the long-term care industry, government reimbursement systems were critically important to determining site locations for new facilities and product offerings of Medicare, Medicaid, and Private Pay resident accommodations.
So, when I was first was able to read the bill, sometime in 2009, I was curious about their plans for more government control and the impact on private business. After Obama announced he wanted to transform our healthcare industry, one could guess where this control was headed. One portion unrelated to hospital services or reimbursement did jump out at me…the funding of Community Organizations to enroll the underserved.
The title “Community Organizer” came to mind. While I was getting a college degree and working my way up the corporate ladder, the President was learning the power of the community organization and how to use its power for his purposes. Back in 2009, I was seeing the seeds of the federal government, and particularly the President and his cadre, create a funding stream for community organizing across the country…with his name on it – Obama Care.
“In August 2013, HHS’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded $67 million in grants to 105 organizations,” https://aspe.hhs.gov/reports/community-action-agency-activities-affordable-care-act-outreach-enrollment-insights-case-studies-0
Millions of dollars were spread across the country every year since the passing and implementation of Obama Care. If we were to scour every federal department’s budget, I’m sure we would find similar funding streams and they’re still there today, probably on steroids! Billions of taxpayer dollars have been used from our bloated budget to recruit and fund an ongoing army of Obama warriors.
After the Big Steal of 2020 and the data shown by True the Vote and others with evidence of printing illegal ballots, stuffing of boxes and illegal harvesting, we now can imagine who was on the front lines of the Steal. Ever wonder who those non-governmental organizations or groups were who printed and distributed the ballots to the ‘stuffers’ who went from drop box to drop box? We know it had to be a well-organized operation and well-funded by not just the likes of Zuckerberg but also, We the People!
When Obama Care was created and passed, he couldn’t have known there would be someone like Donald Trump who would step up and run for office on the GOP ticket who couldn’t be bought. However, he did know that it would take longer than eight years to totally transform our country into their Communist-lite Socialist Utopia. Obama needed to ensure he had at least four more years. So, a secret army, prepared to do whatever it took, was needed. And his Affordable Care Act was just the ticket.
So, now you know…the Rest of the Story.
