Draggingtree Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Nov 28 Give it an effing rest, Obama! By: DrJohn They won’t stop. They just won’t stop. There is no pause to the Obama propaganda machine. There is nothing too sacred not to be violated.Loathe peaceful holidays? Detest the spirit of agreeableness and good will that tends to pervade during this time of year? Well, if you’re longing for it to be ’tis the season of debates, irritations, and shouting matches, you’re in luck: The Obama administration thinks the holidays are the perfect time to gather round and discuss … Obamacare. Over at Weasel Zippers, ZIP has done a great job of noting how Obama and his OFA Nazis constantly dun, cajole and berate people into accepting their mindsets and carrying our their dictates. For example, it’s the GOP’s fault that Obama is so utterly incompetent with regard to Obamacare: http://floppingaces.net/2013/11/28/give-it-an-effing-rest-obama/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Cancer Patient Who Spoke Out Against O-Care Gets Audited by IRS Jim Hoft 11/28/13 Earlier this month cancer patient Bill Elliot went on FOX News to discuss how he lost his health insurance thanks to Obamacare http://youtu.be/gxCG7cZdKhc (Snip) He went on FOX News where his story was picked up by C. Steven Tucker, a health insurance broker who helped him keep his insurance. Now suddenly Bill Elliot is being audited for 2009 with an interview only scheduled in April 2014. Assuming he lives that long. That might be a coincidence, but Tucker is being audited back to 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearvision Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Interesting. The IRS can't actually enforce the fine if you don't have insurance, but they sure could audit you each and every year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollyannaish Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Exactly! It happens over and over and over. Starting with Joe the plumber. It is naked tyranny and I say that without exaggeration. The GOP seems too cowardly to stand up for their own interests, let alone regular folks. When the power of the government is brought down on an average citizen who dares to criticize it openly, we are way way beyond simply punishing political enemies. It is a line that has been crossed that is indefensible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollyannaish Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 That's hilarious! I think being laughed at is probably harder on the president than being yelled at. He has such a thin skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Eliana Johnson: In the Trenches With the ObamaCare Army One group of navigators planned to sign up 5,800 people by March. So far: zero. Eliana Johnson Nov. 29, 2013 Durham, N.C. Even when the Obama administration was under the impression that the launch of the Affordable Care Act was going to work splendidly, with a first-rate website, the plan still called for "navigators" to help people sign up. Now, with the ACA website Healthcare.gov hobbled, and even many of the president's supporters grumbling that the law may need a radical rethinking, the work of the tens of thousands of these helpers is more vital than ever. How's it going? Not well, to judge from a visit with navigators in North Carolina, one of 34 states that decided not to open their own health-insurance exchanges. (Snip) Such unshakable confidence in ObamaCare among its proselytizer-navigators, despite its bungled debut, will be essential if the law is to succeed. The Affordable Care Act "makes a lot of sense," Mr. Correa says. "It's kind of like the youth is taking care of the elderly. Young people are paying more but using the system less, and older people are paying less but using the system more." That line might be a hard sell to a skeptical public, but it reflects the essenceand one of the many challengesof ObamaCare. ________________________________________________________________________ After reading this, for some strange inexplicable reason the term Fluster Cluck pops into my (so called) brain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearvision Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Not that I'm opposed to lower monthly cost and higher copays/deductibles as I think this would help drive down medical costs.... If O'care is going to drive down the monthly cost people pay, but then triple their out of pocket costs for use, you will probably find a lot of people signing up will get worse healthcare as they won't use if for minor stuff.

Valin Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 WSJ: ObamaCare Mission Accomplished The system isn't working and the website isn't fixed. Great news: The White House says that Healthcare.gov and the 36 federally run insurance exchanges are finally good to go. The only thing missing from Sunday's relentlessly upbeat progress report was President Obama in front of a "Mission Accomplished" banner. Sunday's eight-page report was intended to meet Mr. Obama's deadline for fixing the site after its October 1 debut was a calamity. But the more important goal was politicalnamely, claiming enough progress to prevent Democrats on Capitol Hill from joining the GOP demand for delaying the individual mandate to buy insurance or even the entire program. (Snip) Our favorite line in the report is the HHS boast that "the team is operating with private sector velocity and effectiveness." That sure is a remarkable two-month turnaround for the same team that took three and half years to botch the initial launch at a cost of more than $1 billion, according to an analysis by Bloomberg Government. If this miracle fix is real, the White House will open the ObamaCare black box to an independent audit, or maybe start by answering questions honestly. But on a conference call with reporters Sunday, HHS refused to say how much progress the team had made on technical problems that are seeding insurance companies with bad information about who is signing up and for what products. It knows the insurers will keep quiet lest they make themselves political targets. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Todays ObamacareFail News Talking about damning with faint praise: today the tabula rasa folks over at Slate.com proudly announce that HealthCare.gov is no longer a total disaster. The story isnt exactly brimming with confidence: But how fixed is it right now? Well have a better idea once we have the signup and enrollment numbers for December. But the Progress Report published by the administration on Sunday offers a couple of clues. The Progress Report is itself a good sign: While selective in what it presents, the information it offers is meaningful and relevant, and none of it seems blatantly fishy to me. This is a drastic change from anything the administration or the contractors were offering even a month ago, and they should get credit for making these numbers available (assuming theyre true). Methinks they ought to be ready to change their site name to BlankSlate.com. Meanwhile, Salon.coms Brian Beutler (Beutler? Beutler? Anyone. . .) thinks the drive for the repeal of Obamacare is officially dead. Officially?? What, did the Justice Department issue an official memo or something? Because I didnt get a copy. But if its officially over, well then well just have to shut up I guess. Because Salon.com has spoken. (Snip) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
