Fmr Obama Admin Official and MA Gubernatorial Candidate: Broken Promises Don't
Matter, Obama Goal to Make Health Care a Human Right
Rep. Lee Terry: Healthcare.govAre Things Worse than They Seem?
Say, who's up for an update on two state governments, entirely controlled by
Democrats, who have completely fouled up their state health-insurance exchanges?
Who would make potential top seeds in the NCAA-style bracket of worst state
exchanges?
In Maryland, the blue-on-blue blame-shifting and finger-pointing in this year's
Democratic gubernatorial primary is going to be delicious:
Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Heather R. Mizeur on Monday called
the rollout of Maryland's online health insurance exchange a "debacle"
and said the General Assembly needs to "step in and make it right."
"Our current situation has been a twin failure of leadership being
asleep at the wheel when the program was being designed and then
overpromising that everything was fixed when it wasn't," said Mizeur, a
state delegate from Montgomery County.
She became the latest member of her party to pointedly question the
leadership of Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration on the project,
which has been overseen by Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown, a leading
Democratic candidate for governor.
Meanwhile, members of the state's Congressional delegation are asking if it's too
late to scrap the state exchange for now and switch everyone over to the federal
exchange website:
U.S. Rep. John Delaney (D-Dist. 6) of Potomac continued on Monday to
press Maryland officials to switch to the federal health insurance
exchange while the state system is being fixed.
The state exchange, where individuals facing a federal mandate to
have health insurance can find coverage, has been plagued by delays
and inefficiencies since opening in October. The state system had
signed up 18,257 Maryland residents as of Dec. 28, 2013, about 12
percent of its March 31, 2014, goal of 150,000 enrollees.
Apparently this is a real option: "On Friday, Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) told reporters
at a press briefing that he remained open for the state to move to the federal
exchange, even if just in part or on a temporary basis, according to the Associated
Press."
Meanwhile, in Minnesota:
Minnesota's legislative auditor said Monday that probes are needed to
detail all the problems at MNsure, and find out why troubles that

blocked people from getting health insurance weren't identified more

quickly.
The federal government has backed MNsure with about $150 million in
grants including about $70 million spent during the 12-month period
that ended in June, Nobles said. The size of the expenditure last year
automatically triggers an audit, Nobles said, adding that the review is
scheduled to begin Tuesday.
Nobles said he's also planning a review of IT security measures on the
MNsure website, and wants to launch a third probe of the overall health
exchange project. The investigation would look at MNsure's contracts
with software vendors, the effectiveness of the agency's management
as well as its governance structure, Nobles said
About 1,000 applicants were told in late December they'd have to
delete their applications and start over. Another 1,100 applications
were lost in the system and required rescue from computer limbo.
Remember, these are both states with Democratic governors and Democratic
majorities in both houses of their state legislatures. There's no way to blame this on
Republicans -- not that our friends on the left won't keep trying.

TIME EXPIRING FOR OBAMACARE TO AVOID DEATH SPIRAL
OLDER ObamaCare ENROLLEES RAISE FEARS ON COSTS -- The New York Times, Wall
Street Journal and Washington Post all front stories this morning on fresh concerns
about who's signing up for health insurance under ObamaCare. Michael D Shear and
Robert Pear write in the NYT: "People signing up for health insurance through the
Affordable Care Act's federal and state marketplaces tend to be older and
potentially less healthy, officials said Monday, a demographic mix that could
threaten the law's economic underpinnings and cause premiums to rise in the future
if the pattern persists. Questions about the law's financial viability are likely to
become the next line of attack from its critics, as lawmakers gear up for the
midterm elections this fall. Republicans quickly seized on the government's progress
report on Monday as evidence that the health insurance law would not work. But
administration officials expressed optimism that more young people would sign up
in the months ahead, calling the latest enrollment numbers 'solid, solid news' for
the health care law."
REPUBLICANS apparently have no appetite for another fiscal battle over Obamacare
- Hill Republicans are starting to whip up their wish lists for the debt limit battle later
this year. Missing from many of those lists: Obamacare. The debt limit will have to
be hiked sometime between late February and early June, depending on various
government estimates. But congressional Republicans from across the ideological
spectrum are already skeptical of trying to extract concessions from Democrats on
the Affordable Care Act - a dynamic that triggered an unpopular government
shutdown last fall."

Whether its big government or big insurance companies, both have the wrong
people making decisions for the medical needs of beneficiaries. The cost of
healthcare is so out of the reach of average people today, that the arguments of
libertarian-minded independents that we should let the individual fend for
him/herself if they want to, is unrealistic. No individual making $100,000 or less can
afford to pay for the course of treatment for any number of illnesses that make up
the experience in the U.S. Today. I gladly surrender to the actuaries to work out the
mortality rates for life insurance, which is a shared risk worked out in the private
sector without the help of big government, except for regulatory and oversight
functions. These are not the same folks that I want second-guessing physicians, any
more than I want liberal democrats doing it.
Obamacare Death Debt: States can Seize your Assets to recoup Medicaid Costs
five-facts-about-obamacare-enrollment
1. Young Adults are Underrepresented
2. Obamacare Plans are too Expensive with Taxpayer Subsidy: In
Pennsylvania, 76 percent of enrollees that selected a plan were eligible for
premium subsidies. Nationwide, 79 percent of exchange enrollees qualified
for taxpayer subsidy. Thats a good indicator that Obamacare exchange plans
are far from "affordable."
3. Despite a December Surge, Enrollment is Behind Expectations
4. Signing Up is Still a Headache: Janet Bernheisel from York purchased a
Highmark plan on December 19th, but Highmark hasnt been able to accept
her payment. Janet isnt alone, Jeanne Patterson from Drexel Hill couldnt use
her new Independence Blue Cross policy when she went to the ER with

The Lack of BHO/Sebelius Meetings

In many respects, this is a side-show, but it does reflect an overall attitude that
once the bill had been signed and approved by the SCOTUSnothing else truly
mattered; BHO controlled 1/6 of the economy. A Government Accountability Institute
study found only a single meeting between Sebelius/BHO recorded on any White
House calendar or log during the three years after the passage of the bill. As
Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large and Government Accountability Institute
President Peter Schweizer noted on Fox Newss Hannity, though, the White House
visitor logs showed that Sebelius only went to the White House for social functions
with dozens or hundreds of people. While discussing this Blockbuster Report
on Hannity, he claimed, if BHO met with Sebelius and left the meetings off the
books, Sebelius would be the only cabinet secretary whose meetings with the White
House had been concealed. [The Government Accountability Institute report found
that, since ObamaDontCare was signed on March 23, 2010, Obama met with
various Cabinet secretaries a total of 277 times, but his presidential schedule did
not document a single one-on-one meeting with Sebelius. There was, though,
one instance of Secretary Sebelius meeting jointly with the President and Secretary
of the Treasury Timothy Geithner.] Pat Caddell concluded BHOs Failure to Meet
with Sebelius Showed Inexperience, and Fox & Friends hosts were speechless that
BHO/Sebelius had never met one-on-one.
Presser Jay Carney claimed the two met regularly, albeit Off the Record, but
provided no details regarding scant interactions, claiming that cabinet secretaries
do not get frequently entered into the visitors logs; this enhanced the question as to
whether they had met. Because the White House had dissembled rather than
having been forthcoming, SCHWEIZER and Rush Limbaugh concluded Obama Didnt
Meet with Sebelius Because He Doesnt Care, and he opined that the infrequency of
meetings reflected Obamas lack of compassion toward those hurt by the healthcare
law. In reaction, the HHS released a statement indicating that Sebelius has been to
the White House countless times since becoming Secretary.She is frequently at
the White House for meetings related to the implementation of the Affordable Care
Act, including dozens with the President in the last year alone. In fact, she met with
the President just yesterday, an HHS spokesperson said, scrambling to defend
against this revelation.]. NBCs Peter Alexander and ABCs Jonathan Karl Pressed
Carney for any details but, ultimately, the Most Transparent Administration In
History Shrouded Obama-Sebelius Calendar In Secrecy. As a result, BHO the Admin
was Under Fire for Selective Release of Data and for Secret Sebelius Meetings. [The
media may be tiring of BHO selectively releasing ObamaDontCare data that gets to
the heart of nothing, but makes the program look like it is much more popular than
it likely is. For instance, BHO claimed that, between Sunday and Friday,
Healthcare.gov enjoyed 3.7 million visits.]
Politico Destroyed the White House Claim of Secret Obama-Sebelius Meetings
[When Barry Met Kathy: Almost Never, It Turns Out], publishing an update
dismantling White House claims that BHO-Sebelius had held dozens of unrecorded
one-on-one working meetings over the last three-and-a-half years leading up to
ObamaDontCares unveiling. It found that, Either the president was derelict in his
duty beyond comprehension in not meeting with the cabinet secretary in charge of

remaking one-sixth of the American economy, or he indeed did meet frequently with
Sebelius, which only begs another question.
REP. PHIL GINGREY (R-GA.), whos running for the Senate, questioned Sebelius about
how often she met with Obama leading up to the botched ObamaDontCare rollout.
Gingrey wrote At the heart of these conflicting accounts are-yet again-the issues of
transparency and accountability, or lack thereof. President Obama and Secretary
Sebelius must provide taxpayers more answers about who in the administration
knew what, and when he or she knew it. When officials received warnings of
problems, how high up the chain of command did they go? When questioned,
Sebelius became Flustered. In any case, BHO-Sebelius Metone day after the GAO
Report had emerged; that was the only specific date that either HHS or the White
House mentioned while claiming Sebelius and Obama regularly meet.

This week the Congressional Budget Office, which played a major role in the way the
administration sold the Affordable Care Act aka ObamaDontCare, released a report
finding President Obamas signature law will reduce hours worked by the equivalent
of 2.5 million jobs.
The Obama administration announced Monday its delaying part of the
ObamaDontCare employer mandate for a second year, exempting mid-size
businesses until 2016 and giving big businesses more time to ramp up to full

coverage. Its the latest move to counter a torrent of criticism from the business
community about the health laws impact on employers. The Treasury Department
said employers with fewer than 100 workers wont have to provide health care to
their workers in 2015.

The penalties for uninsured are not very high in 2014 [$95 per person (up to a
family maximum of $285, or 1 percent of family income, whichever is greater)], but
the penalty will increase more than sevenfold in the next two years, with the fine
running as much as $695 per person by 2016. The family maximum would be as
high as $2,085 (or 2.5 percent of family income, whichever is greater).

OBAMADONTCARE NAVIGATORS. The House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee is expected to release a report Monday indicating ObamaDontCare
navigators, people responsible for helping consumers enroll for ObamaDontCare,
are not required to undergo background checks. ObamaDontCare navigators have
already given consumers faulty information and have encouraged consumers to
commit tax fraud:
Navigators have been giving enrollees misinformation, the documents indicate,
according to the Breitbart report. The documents also suggest navigators have also

put consumers health, social security numbers, yearly income and other tax
information at risk.
Documents call into question the effectiveness of the Navigator program and the
Obama administrations ability to safeguard consumer information, the committee
report concluded.
Some ObamaDontCare navigators, the report says, encouraged consumers to
commit tax fraud by underreporting income in order to qualify for
ObamaDontCares health insurance subsidies.
UNINSURED. The Heritage Foundation explains the steps necessary to help the
uninsured:
Level the playing field. People who arent offered health insurance through their
workplaces deserve to be treated the same as those who do get coverage at work.

To fix this, Heritage has suggested a tax credit or tax deduction that would be the
same for everyone. This would help offset the cost of insurance, making it more
affordable.
Get coverage and keep it. Many people become uninsured because they lose a job
or change jobs. Heritage proposes making insurance policies more personalso
that you can keep your policy, even if you change jobs. That way, your policy stays
with you, even in an uncertain economy.
These two ideas would bring vast improvements over the health insurance market
we have known. And they would go a long way toward helping people affordand
keephealth coverage.

Fraud,

REPUBLICANS RUSH TO THE RIGHT ON OBAMADONTCARE, HEARTENING DEMS Republican Senate candidates are shackling themselves to hardline antiObamaDontCare positions as they fend off challenges from the right, a dynamic
thats made it difficult to lay out nuanced health care plans. Its delighting
Democrats, who say their candidates will be able to talk about fixes and solutions,
while Republicans continue to toe the repeal-at-any-cost line. Republican pollsters
warn that its hard to paint many of the current GOP incumbents as not antiObamaDontCare enough, and that it could backfire on opponents who try. Of
course, the longer ObamaDontCare remains in effect, the harder it will be to repeal
in its entirety anyway. But the question of how to replace the health law is barely
getting lip service in GOP primaries so far:
ADMINISTRATION: PAPER APPS BEING PROCESSED IN REAL TIME - Paper
applications for the ObamaDontCare exchanges have created a virtual mountain of
work for Serco, the contractor hired by CMS to handle them. But so far, theyve all
been processed in real time - about three to five business days - according to the
administration. CMS has processed all paper applications received by the end of
November, and by the end of the week we will have notified those consumers via
mail, email or phone calls about their next steps to complete enrollment, said
spokesman Aaron Albright.
ISSA-HHS CLASH ESCALATES - A high-profile clash between Rep. Darrell Issa (RCalif.) and the Obama administration escalated Friday, with Issa accusing HHS of
pressuring contractors not to cooperate with his investigation into HealthCare.gov.
The companies, CCSI and MITRE have turned over the documents Issa requested,
but not before the Oversight Committee chairman said HHS had been illegally
pressuring them. HHS has argued that it cant trust Issa to protect the secrecy of
sensitive documents. On Friday, Issa said the administrations campaign to gag the
companies broke the law.
COUNTDOWN TO ENROLLMENT DEADLINE FOR JANUARY COVERAGE: 7 days.
--HealthCare.gov was taken down for extended maintenance from midnight until
8:30 a.m. on Sunday. Thats a bit longer than the typical 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. off-peak
period tech officials have been using to make repairs to the much-improved system.
Pros Susan Levine reports: The agency that oversees the website within the
department said in a blog post earlier today that it had nearly resolved major
problems involving the back end of the system and the data files that must be
transmitted from HealthCare.gov to insurers so that coverage can be issued. Nearly
15,000 consumer applications were missing these 834 forms from October through
early December, but an analysis pegged the percentage of missing forms at 0.38

percent between Nov. 24 and Dec. 5, down sharply from 15 percent for a two-week
period in October.
SEBELIUS SLAMS TEXAS ROADBLOCKS FOR NAVIGATORS - HHS Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius took to the pages of the Dallas Morning News on Sunday to defend
ObamaDontCare navigators and decry efforts by Republicans to stifle, intimidate
and impugn the reputation of people helping Texans get covered. With so many
Texans lacking affordable coverage, now is not the time to be putting up roadblocks.
We should be helping navigators and other assisters in their important work, not
demonizing, demoralizing or deterring them, she wrote.
IN FLORIDA SWING, SEBELIUS TOUTS PERSONAL INSURANCE STORIES - HHS
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius swung through Miami Friday to tout the states
enrollment efforts in the federal ObamaDontCare exchange. Floridas enrolled more
people than any other state relying on HealthCare.gov, even Texas which has a
larger population. In a blog post, Sebelius described a trip to the Miami Dade Library
to chat with people who had signed up. If you dont have health insurance, or dont
like what you have, I want to invite you to shop for a new affordable plan in the
Marketplace, like Marcelo, Mick and Nancy, she said, naming residents she met
who had obtained coverage.
OLDER ENROLLEES OUTPACE YOUNG ON RHODE ISLAND EXCHANGE - The states
got 2,649 enrollees and more than 1,000 of them are in the 55-64 age bracket.
Another 600 are ages 45-54. And in the coveted young invincible category of 18-34?
517 enrollees. Other stats: the vast majority of enrollments were in mid-level
silver plans, and about 80 percent of enrollees are in line to obtain premium tax
credits.
HAWAII MAY TURN EXCHANGE INTO STATE AGENCY - Hawaii lawmakers are eyeing a
U-turn on the states ObamaDontCare efforts. After standing up the states
exchange as an independent nonprofit, theyre looking at converting it into a state
agency, a nod to the dismal start to its enrollment efforts, the Honolulu Star
Advertiser reports. Pressed by lawmakers, the Connectors interim executive
director Tom Matsuda revealed that the organization needs to sign up 50,000 people
- 10,000 individuals and 40,000 small business workers - this fiscal year in order to
be sustainable by the end of 2014, when $204.3 millon in federal grants expire,
according to the report. http://bit.ly/1c361nV
GOP: MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND REPEAL OBAMADONTCARE - Republicans ushered in
the Christmas season with more warnings about the peril of ObamaDontCare. Sen.
Pat Toomey, in the weekly GOP address, ripped the health law as a wholesale
government takeover before offering an outline of familiar GOP alternatives: Giving
individuals the same tax credits that employers receive for offering health
insurance, pooling small businesses to lower costs and making it easier for
insurance to be carried across state lines. We should offer some hope and good
cheer. The truth is there are good reasons for hope, if we can just change direction,
Toomey said.

Congress should repeal the price controls of the automatic Clinton-Gingrich
sustained growth rate (SGR) cut in Medicare physicians fees that was enacted in
1997. Each year, Congress has delayed it, meaning that the following years cut,
according to the formula, is more draconian, explains the Association of American
Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). The 2014 cut under SGR would be 24.4%. Since
most doctors overhead is 50% or more, a doctors actual payment might be zero
or he might have to pay to work.

A quarter of uninsured ready to face ObamaDontCare fine
Insurers wary of Obama administration claims about back-end website fixes
We have also been told that the sites error rate was .077 percent, the response
time averaged under a second, and a whopping (and improbable) 93% of
consumers did come back later after they were asked to due to the site being too
busy.
As The Hill points out, though, that data is all hollow happy talk that tells us nothing
about what really matters. What the White House refuses to disclose, or claims it
doesnt yet have the data to disclose, just happens to be the information that will
tell us if ObamaDontCare is or is not working:
The Obama administration is selectively releasing data and metrics on
ObamaDontCare to bolster its case that the rollout is going better in the month of
December.
Tidbits of information from federal health officials especially figures that show
improvements at HealthCare.gov have become a key tool in the effort to reboot
the law in the eyes of the public.
But the limited nature of the releases has created conflict with the media and put
the spotlight on outstanding areas of concern for the rollout, such as the enrollment
sites back end.
The White Houses definition for an enrollee is to blithely change the definition of
the world enrollee to someone who has not yet enrolled, but has only selected an
insurance plan and placed it into a shopping cart. Studies show that the
abandonment rate for shopping carts is 67%.
Up till now, though, the media have breathlessly reported enrollment numbers
spoon-fed to them by the White House without doing any of their own independent
reporting to find out how many have actually enrolled. Maybe those days are
coming to an end.
The Hill points out the other vital metrics the White House has thus far not released:
Since late October, federal health officials have touted traffic to the site, error rates
and page load times almost daily in an effort to illustrate positive changes.
Enrollment figures are only discussed monthly, and leaked sign-up numbers are not
confirmed. Vital information for judging the growing risk pools, such as applicants
ages, goes undiscussed.

The administration appears to have largely chosen data over anecdotes as the most
powerful way to communicate site improvements to the media.
The metrics released are difficult to independently verify, but provide easy
headlines and talking points for anxious supporters of the Affordable Care Act,
including congressional Democrats.
While we are sure to be hit with all kinds of selective data leaks before the end of
the year that are only meant to make ObamaDontCare look successful, The Hill
reports that a number that will not be released until the end of the year is a
breakdown of those who are truly enrolled -- in other words, those who have
actually paid for a premium.
The fact that the White House always has positive data that sounds good but means
nothing, but never the data that matters, has raised the suspicions of the American
people from the beginning. It is good to know now, that after two-plus months of
this Administration Hustle, the media has apparently had enough.
Media Tires of White Houses Selective Release of ObamaDontCare Data
Apparently the media is growing tired of the White House selectively releasing
ObamaDontCare data that gets to the heart of nothing but makes the program look
like it is much more popular than it likely is.
We now know that Sebelius was warned in April that Healthcare.gov was behind
schedule and would not be ready in time to be properly tested for a national rollout. We have also been told that the president was caught completely off guard by
the sites collapse, and that his first hint that there was a problem came a few days
after the site launched.
If the two met frequently, as the White House now claims, that just doesnt add up.
How is it that Sebelius met frequently with the president but never once warned or
informed him about the potential for catastrophe?

Happy ObamaDontCare Deadline Day! The News Is Still Bad
Youve got to pick a plan by the end of today (and send in that payment!) to make
sure you have health insurance for the coming year.
Say, AP, hows that going?
As a key enrollment deadline hits today, many people without health
insurance have been sizing up policies on the new government health
care marketplace and making what seems like a logical choice: Theyre
picking the cheapest one.
Increasingly, experts in health insurance are becoming concerned that
many of these first-time buyers will be in for a shock when they get

medical care next year and discover theyre on the hook for most of
the initial cost.
The prospect of sticker shock after Jan. 1, when those who sign up for
policies now can begin getting coverage, is seen as a looming problem
for a new national system that has been plagued by trouble since the
new marketplaces went online in the states in October
Hospitals are worried that those who rack up uncovered medical bills
next year wont be able to pay them, perpetuating one of the problems
the new health care system is supposed to solve.
The Affordable Care Act doesnt actually make care affordable.
To celebrate, Senator Joe Manchins calling it a meltdown:
President Barack Obamas healthcare law could have a meltdown
and make it difficult for his Democratic Party to keep control of the U.S.
Senate next year if ongoing problems with the program are not
resolved, a Democratic senator said on Sunday.
Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who has urged delaying a
penalty for people who do not enroll for health insurance in 2014 under
the law, told CNN that a transitional year was needed for the complex
healthcare program, commonly known as ObamaDontCare, to work.
If its so much more expensive than what we anticipated and if the
coverage is not as good as what we had, youve got a complete
meltdown at that time, Manchin told CNNs State of the Union
program.
It falls of its own weight, if basically the cost becomes more than we
can absorb, absolutely.
And look at the poll result that Obama gets to unwrap this week!
Support for the countrys new health care law has dropped to a record
low, according to a new national poll.
And a CNN/ORC International survey released Monday also indicates
that most Americans predict that the Affordable Care Act will actually
result in higher prices for their own medical care.
Only 35% of those questioned in the poll say they support the health
care law, a 5-point drop in less than a month. Sixty-two percent say
they oppose the law, up four points from November.
The uninsured remain persistently difficult to reach -- almost as if they dont care
nearly as much about obtaining insurance as they say to pollsters:
Despite White House and state efforts to promote the Affordable Care
Act, some people still dont have health insurance or any idea how to
sign up for it.
Take Corryn Young, a 32-year-old dental hygienist in Fort Collins,
Colorado. She knows she needs to get health insurance but is a little
vague on the details.
What my income would qualify me for, when I need to be signed up,
what type of deductibles they have to offer - that kind of stuff
overwhelms me, she says.
There are people available to help Young with all those questions. The
White House has set aside more than a quarter of a billion dollars
nationally to pay navigators to give people face-to-face help buying
coverage and applying for new subsidies to make it more affordable.

But all the effort had netted about 23,000 customers for private
insurance in the states marketplace as of Dec. 14 -- only about 17
percent of the way to the states goal of enrolling 136,000 people by
the end of March.
In Maryland, theyre having a blue-vs.-blue Christmas:
Maryland gubernatorial candidate Doug Gansler is incensed over the
botched rollout of Affordable Care Act. Hes aghast at chronic problems
with Marylands online enrollment platform and stunned that a state
with literally the smartest people in the country would have hired a
company from North Dakota, of all places, to help put its exchange in
place. The whole spectacle, Gansler fumes, is almost like a Saturday
Night Live skit.
The punch line: Gansler, Marylands current attorney general, is a
Democrat.
With his popularity dropping, Obama seems to be distancing himself from his
signature legislation.
Even the Sexiest Man Alive cant make this unpopular, unworkable law appealing.

all, was a tweet of a 20-something male in onesie pajamas, asking us to drink hot

volunteering (see below).

Why Obamacare is a Fantastic Success
By Wayne Allyn Root

>> There are 2 major political parties in America. Im a member of the nave,
stupid, and cowardly one. Im a Republican. How stupid is the GOP? They still dont
get it. I told them 5 years ago, 2 books ago, a national bestseller ago (The Ultimate
Obama Survival Guide), and in hundreds of articles and commentaries, that
Obamacare was never meant to help America, or heal the sick, or lower healthcare
costs, or lower the debt, or expand the economy.
The GOP needs to stop calling Obamacare a train wreck. That means its a
mistake, or accident. That means its a gigantic flop, or failure. Its NOT. This is a
brilliant, cynical, and purposeful attempt to damage the U.S. economy, kill jobs, and
bring down capitalism. Its not a failure, its Obamas grand success. Its not a train

wreck, Obamacare is a suicide attack. He wants to hurt us, to bring us to our

knees, to capitulate- so we agree under duress to accept big government.
Obamas hero and mentor was Saul Alinsky- a radical Marxist intent on destroying
capitalism. Alinkskys stated advice was to call the other guy a terrorist to hide
your own intensions. To scream that the other guy is ruining America, while you
are the one actually plotting the destruction of America. To claim again and again
in every sentence of every speechthat you are saving the middle class, while
you are busy wiping out the middle class.
The GOP is so stupid they cant see it. There are no mistakes here. This is a planned
purposeful attack. The tell-tale sign isnt the disastrous start to Obamacare. Or the
devastating effect the new taxes are having on the economy. Or the death of fulltime jobs. Or the overwhelming debt. Or the dramatic increases in health insurance
rates. Or the 70% of doctors now thinking of retiring- bringing on a healthcare crisis
of unimaginable proportions. Forget all that.
The real sign that this is a purposeful attack upon capitalism is how many Obama
administration members and Democratic Congressmen are openly calling Tea Party
Republicans and anyone who wants to stop Obamacare terrorists. Theres the
clue. Even the clueless GOP should be able to see that. They are calling the
reasonable peoplethe patriotsthe people who believe in the Constitutionthe
people who believe exactly what the Founding Fathers believedthe people who
want to take power away from corrupt politicians who have put America $17 trillion
in debtterrorists?
Thats because they are Saul Alinsky-ing the GOP. The people trying to purposely
hurt America, capitalism and the middle classare calling the patriots by a terrible
name to fool, confuse and distract the public.
Obamacare is a raving, rollicking, fantastic success. Stop calling it a failure. Here is
what it was created to do. It is succeeding on all counts.
>>
>> #1) Obamacare was intended to bring about the Marxist dream- redistribution
of wealth. Rich people, small business owners, and the middle class are being
robbed, so that the money can be redistributed to poor people (who vote
Democrat). Think about it. If youre rich or middle class, you now have to pay for
your own healthcare costs (at much higher rates) AND 40 million other peoples
costs too (through massive tax increases). So youre stuck paying for both bills. You
are left broke. Brilliant.
>> #2) Obamacare was intended to wipe out the middle class and make them
dependent on government. Think about it. Even Obamas IRS predicts that health
insurance for a typical American family by 2016 will be $20,000 per year. But how
would middle class Americans pay that bill and have anything left for food or
housing or living? People that make $40K, or $50K, or $60K cant possibly hope to
spend $20K on health insurance without becoming homeless. Bingo. Thats how you

make middle class people dependent on government. Thats how you make
everyone addicted to government checks.
Brilliant.
>>
>> #3) As a bonus, Obamacare is intended to kill every decent paying job in the
economy, creating only crummy, crappy part-time jobs. Why? Just to make sure the
middle class is trapped, with no way out. Just to make sure no one has the $20,000
per year to pay for health insurance, thereby guaranteeing they become wards of
the state. Brilliant.
>>
>> #4) Obamacare is intended to bankrupt small business, and therefore starve
donations to the GOP. Think about it. Do you know a small business owner? I know
hundreds of them. Their rates are being doubled, tripled and quadrupled by
Obamacare. Guess who writes 75% of the checks to Republican candidates and
conservative causes? Small business. Even if a small business owner manages to
survive, he or she certainly cant write a big check to the GOP anymore. Money is
the mothers milk of politics. Without donations, a political party ceases to exist.
Bingo. Thats the point of Obamacare. Obama is bankrupting his political opposition
and drying up donations to the GOP. Brilliant.
>>
>> #5) Obamacare is intended to make the IRS all-powerful. It adds thousands of
new IRS agents. It puts the IRS in charge of overseeing 15% of the U.S. economy.
The IRS has the right because of Obamacare to snoop into every aspect of your life,
to go into your bank accounts, to fine you, to frighten you, to intimidate you. And
Obama and his socialist cabal have access to your deepest medical secrets. By law
your doctor has to ask your sexual history. That information is now in the hands of
Obama and the IRS to blackmail GOP candidates into either not running, or
supporting bigger government, or leaking the info and ruining your campaign. Or
have you forgotten the IRS harassed, intimidated and persecuted critics of Obama
and conservative groups? Now Obama hands the IRS even more power. Big Brother
rules our lives. Brilliant.
>>
>> #6) Obamacare is intended to unionize 15 million healthcare workers. That
produces $15 billion in new union dues. That money goes to fund Democratic
candidates and socialist causes- thereby guaranteeing Obamas friends never lose
another election, and Obamas policies keep ruining capitalism and bankrupting
business owners long after hes out of office.
>>
>> Message to the GOP: This isnt a game. This isnt tiddly-winks. This is a serious,
purposeful attempt to highjack America and destroy capitalism. This isnt a train
wreck. Its purposeful suicide. Its not failing, its working exactly according to plan.
Obama knows what hes doing. Stop apologizing and start fighting.
>>
>> Oh and one more thingConservatives arent terrorists. We are patriots and
saviors. We represent the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. We are the heroes

and good guys. Unless you get all this through your thick skulls, America is lost
forever.

Democrats Insist Medicaid Expansion Works Wonders, Despite Evidence

This sentiment, expressed by Eugene Robinson, is increasingly commonplace on the
left: "Now that the fight over Obamacare is history, perhaps everyone can finally
focus on making the program work the way it was designed. Or, preferably, better."
Excuse me. The problems of the program aren't our fault. This thing didn't turn into
a national pain in the neck because those of us outside government aren't helping
enough. Nobody asked us to build the website. Nobody asked us to set up the
requirements of insurance plans that spurred four to five million cancellations. We
didn't make the president promise that people could keep their plans, or that they
could keep their doctor, or that their premiums would go down $2,500. We're not
the ones who insisted that requiring insurance companies to cover pre-existing
conditions wouldn't result in higher premiums for everyone. And we're not the ones
insisting people buy insurance they say they don't need on an exchange that
doesn't work or fork over one percent of their income and greater portions in the
future.
Robinson writes as if the primary problem with health care today is the 25 states
with Republican governors that have chosen to not expand Medicaid. He must have
missed the much discussed new study revealing that "Medicaid coverage increases
emergency department use, both overall and for a broad range of types of visits,
conditions, and subpopulations, visits for conditions that may be most readily
treatable in primary care settings."
Keep in mind, the Medicaid expansion is constantly touted as saving money
because, advocates theorize, the access to preventative care will reduce those
expensive trips to the emergency room for primary care. The only problem is that
this Oregon study shows the theory doesn't work, meaning this is not the cost-saver
the administration promised. And, oh, by the way, the New England Journal of
Medicine found "Medicaid coverage generated no significant improvements in
measured physical health outcomes in the first 2 years."
So if it doesn't make people healthier and it doesn't lower health-care costs . . . why
are we doing it? And why is it some outrageous crime for a state to say, "eh, no,
we'll pass on that"?
In other Obamacare news, Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., announced he's "filing suit
in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin to make Congress live
by the letter of the health-care law it imposed on the rest of America. By arranging
for me and other members of Congress and their staffs to receive benefits
intentionally ruled out by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the
administration has exceeded its legal authority."
Oh, hey, the site's still not working: "More than 100,000 Americans who applied for
insurance through HealthCare.gov and were told they are eligible for Medicaid or
the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) remain unenrolled because of
lingering software defects in the federal online marketplace, according to federal
and state health officials."
The administration now insists there's no "magic number" to get the exchanges to
work, a claim that PolitiFact rates "mostly false," pointing to past statements by

Sebelius and other officials setting the goal at 7 million paid enrollees. In the
administration's defense, there is no "magic number" because numbers aren't
magic.
