Former Chief Of Surgeons Group Calls Obamacare 'Fascism'

The Supreme Court has tossed aside the interests of the American people in favor of an all-powerful government-business coalition, charges the former president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.

“The guys in the black robes have chosen statism over freedom once again,” asserted Lee Hieb, M.D. “How can people be free when they are dependent on the government for their very health?”

On Thursday, the Supreme Court released its long-awaited decision in the King v. Burwell case, which had challenged the legality of taxpayer subsidies in states that did not set up their own Obamacare exchanges. In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled in favor of the Obama administration and the health law’s supporters, declaring the subsidies are legal and may continue.

The court determined that the law’s reference to exchanges “established by the state” includes exchanges established by the federal government.

But to Hieb, the ruling is not a benign act of generosity that will allow 6 million Americans to keep their health care. Rather, it is an affirmation of an unholy alliance between government and large private industries.

“Let’s call this what it really is – fascism,” Hieb said. “Fascism is by definition an economic arrangement wherein government partners with private industries, choosing winners and losers.”

Hieb, author of “Surviving the Medical Meltdown: Your Guide to Living Through the Disaster of Obamacare,” noted hospital stocks rose 8 percent immediately after the Affordable Care Act was upheld. She also said she received a notice a few weeks ago from Blue Cross Blue Shield that her health premium was going to increase 24 percent after it had jumped about 30 percent just the year before.
