Health Reform: ObamaCare was supposed to be on a roll by now, promising 20 million signing up, low cost and stable premiums. Turns out it’s on a roll all right. It’s rolling towards the cliff.

Well, the health care companies sold their souls for this mess. No bailouts if they fail.
Relax, it’s working perfectly.
Single payer in 5, 4, 3 ...
Obamacare is failing only if it was designed to improve medical access and treatment. It was designed to make Single Payer inevitable. It is succeeding grandly.
Why should I care if insurance companies are making a little bit less than they were before?
They are the single biggest blight on American health care and we would all be far better off if they ceased to exist.
Hillary wants to continue and improve affordable healthcare which is only affordable to people who live in cardboard boxes and on public assistance
Another part of O care is the institution of another tax on the 1040.
I’ve suspected the politicians planned a transition to single payer, but where do the ins. companies fit within a single payer system? Would they be screwed?
Turns out Obamacare is a vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power.....complete w/ a multi-billion dollar slush fund financed by your tax dollar.
The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).
In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion.
=================================
FYI---A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from Obamacare website, Covered California. Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party.
================================================
O/Care passed by an historic Democrat party-line vote w/ a massive, multi-billion-dollar slush fund that was deliberately kept hidden from us "stupid taxpayers" by self-serving Grubercrats.
=========================================
The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, Democrats slavishly voted for Obamacare by an historic straignt-party line vote.
Not one Democrat told Americans about Obamacare's Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).
THE PAYOFF--WHO GOT THE MONEY? In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion, and, in 2015 and on, $2 billion
<><> Where is all that money going?
<><> Was cashing-in the incentive in getting the thing passed?
The sound of West Wing wire-transfers to states and to offshore banks is almost palpable.
=========================================
O/Care is a presidential blunder of Ceaucescu-esque proportions......a titanic tsunami taking down everything in its path.
The O/Care con artists are on a crime spree to work the dismal numbers----lots more tricks up their sleeves. Enrollees got conned into this scheme.. The enrollee numbers are so low, Obama ordered HHS to pump the numbers to dupe the taxpaying public into thinking the atrocity is popular....
==================================================
Some observers note that the Democrat-controlled Senate passed Obamacare after a series of unsavory transactions that purchased the aye votes of several shrewdly extortionate Democrats....with a huge pile of money still unaccounted for.
The most unsavory was then-Sen Landrieu's $4.3 billion Louisisana Purchase.
THE PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Sen Landrieu (recently lost her reelection bid) sold her aye vote in what Forbes Magazine dubbed The Louisiana Purchase that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu
FORBES REPORTED Democrats nailed Landrieu/s support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a (cough) drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount.

===============================================
BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied. Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare----not the measly $200 million but $4.3 billon was attached to the Obamacare bill earmarked for Landrieu.
=================================================
How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was calculatedly attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid (cough) "failed to catch and fix it," is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity.
The $4.3 billion handoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare....and how tax dollars were laundered to get lock-stepping Democrats' votes.

The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. We still do not know where these billions went.---O/care allocated some $6 billion tax dollars which has yet to be traced.

IRS Watchdog: $67 Million Missing from Obamacare Slush Fund WASHINGTON, D.C. – The IRS is unable to account for $67 million spent from a slush fund established for Obamacare implementation, according to a Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) report released today. The “Health Insurance Reform Implementation Fund†(HIRIF) was tucked into Obamacare in order to give the IRS money to enforce the tax provisions of the healthcare law. The fund, totaling some $1 billion of taxpayer money, was used to roll out enforcement mechanisms for the approximately 50 tax provisions of Obamacare. According to the report: “Specifically, the IRS did not account for or attempt to quantify approximately $67 million [from the slush fund] of indirect ACA costs incurred for Fiscal Years 2010 through 2012.†The report also found several other abuses of taxpayer funds, including: (Excerpt) Read more at atr.org ...

Say what? The IRS is unable to account for $67 million tax dollars from a slush fund for Obamacare implementation (sez a Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) report)?

Hey Aetna, don’t you mean Hillarycare? Obama is the Clinton’s lawn jockey who rode the Trojan horse to the finish line. Hillaryous Rotten Criminal gave birth to the foal. Why the long face? Living in the socialist stable health “INSURANCE” doesn’t smell so good when it turns to TOTALITARIANCARE, eh?
We’re living in the Land of Oz where “good intentions” trump reality and results. 0bamaFraud was shoved down our throats despite the intense opposition against it, and the Central Planners refuse to repeal it.
I know that SP has been the conventional wisdom--the direction everyone said healthcare would go when Obamacare failed, but why would ANYONE believe that the government could get SP right when they couldn't get Obamacare to work?
"Gee, this is a good start; let's put everyone into a healthcare system where the government directs all payments and standards for service!"
” . . . but why would ANYONE believe that the government could get SP right when they couldn’t get Obamacare to work?”
The VA medical system is a real example of a health care system run by the US government.
“...but why would ANYONE believe that the government could get SP right when they couldn’t get Obamacare to work?”
Who think the Socialists get SP to work where’s it’s in effect NOW? Just look at Canada, or even Britain.
It doesn’t work THERE, but people expect the US to pick-up the same mantle, tweak it and ‘magically’ work?
Socialism. DOESN’T. Work.
Yep, it was designed to fail. Designed to kill the insurance companies.
WHO profited the MOST from increased rates and higher deductibles?
NO BAILOUTS for insurance companies!
Yep but it’s kinda hard to read something that hadn’t been written when it was passed!
