No one wanted it.
No health care is actually delivered.
PSA and mammograms are decreased.
Cancer is no longer treated if early or late
(except for ANY staff or family or friend (paying)
of ANY EXEMPT Congressman).
Manchin plays both sides of the aisle. He is a DEM! Don’t ever forget that. He doesn’t really care if the majority of the people do NOT WANT Government healthcare.
For all intents and practical purposes, it HAS collapsed. The government lies daily about the numbers of people that have ‘enrolled’, dissembling what ‘enrolled’ vs. actually covered means in news conferences, yet publishes BS commercials with the all-present “I’m Covered” testament.
The truth is, no person with a bank account, savings or any real value to their lives would be signing up for this unless he/she has a pre-existing expensive condition, is pretty assured they will have completely offsetting subsidies, or they will get Medicaid.
In my opinion, anyone otherwise is gambling most seriously with the likely probability their identities, their money and their foreseeable futures will be stolen by Navigator-assisted felons.
More and more people are learning (finally) it is about the subjugation of most of us as slaves for the benefit of a few winners, those with the correct melatonin content.
Pajamaboy Shrugged. LOL!
“If it’s so much more expensive than what we anticipated”
If you had opened your eyes and ears way back when, we were already warning you about the true financial costs, how they would be way higher than what we were being told. But were you listening? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Exactly!
Could still collapse?
So there IS hope...
Adjust the product to the market???
Obama keeps trying to adjust the market to the product.
Won’t succeed. Read this great analogy that I got in an email and pass it on.
Obama Flowers - Have you ordered yours yet?
(Receptionist) Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers, My name is Trina. How can I help you?
(Customer) Hello, I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number.
(Receptionist) Yes, I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November – or maybe December. But I can help you.
(Customer) Thanks, I ordered a “Spring Bouquet” for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife.
(Receptionist Interrupting) Sir, “Spring Bouquets” do not meet our minimum standards, I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses.
(Customer) But I have always ordered “Spring Bouquets”, done it for years, my wife likes them.
(Receptionist) Roses are better, sir. I am sure your wife will love them.
(Customer) Well, how much are they?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package.
(Customer) What’s the difference?
(Receptionist) 6, 12,18 or 24 Red Roses.
(Customer) The Silver package may be okay, how much is it?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, what is you monthly income?
(Customer) What does that have to do with anything?
(Receptionist) I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out of pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid department.
(Customer) FlowerAid?
(Receptionist) Yes, Flowers are a Right, everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can’t afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge.
(Customer) Who said they were a Right?
(Receptionist) Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it Constitutional.
(Customer) Whoa.....I don’t remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding Flowers as a Right.
(Receptionist) It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but ObamaFlowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a “Tax”. Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a Right.
(Customer) I don’t believe this...
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is you monthly income sir?
(Customer) Forget it, I think I will forgo the flowers this year.
(Receptionist) In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income.
(Customer) Why?
(Receptionist) To determine what your ‘non-participation’ cost would be.
(Customer) WHAT? Your can’t charge me for NOT buying flowers!
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It’s $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income.....
(Customer)interrupting) This is ridiculous, I’ll pay the $9.50..
(Receptionist) Sir, it is the $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater.
(Customer) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a ripoff!!
(Receptionist) Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%.
(Customer) Look, I’m going to call my Congressman to find out what’s going on here. This is ridiculous. I’m not going to pay it.
(Receptionist) Sorry to hear that sir, that’s why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone your are using.
(Customer) Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING?
(Receptionist) So they get your GPS coordinates sir
(Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door)
(Receptionist) That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers, have a nice day...and God Bless America.
With all due respect, Senator Manchin (which frankly isn't much), the failure points you cite have already happened. What we need to do next is predict how bad the failure will be, what will be the consequences, and how we will with them.
Both parties are like a fabulously rich couple who have let the help have the weekend off and now have discovered a dead rat on the kitchen floor. Neither of them wants to deal with it, or even admit that it's there, but it's starting to stink. They're tip toeing past it with their pinkie fingers in the air and clothes pins on their noses, hoping it will just go away on its own.
I guess that’s why ol’ Joe’s first vote in the Senate after winning by campaigning against obamamcare was to vote to KEEP obamcare.
Wonder if Joe’ll vote to repeal obamacare the next time he gets the chance, or will he continue to mindlessly support obama. Personally, I’ll be betting on the “mindlessly” option.
SHUT UP JOE, you worthless turncoat.
No, Obamacare is sinking in the harbor just after it's release from dry dock. And Skipper Obama is insisting that passengers keep boarding the ship while the vessel is taking on water.
It will collapse!!! Idiots!!!!
Manchin’s vote was the deciding vote in passing ObamaCare. Never forget that Obama needed every Democrat vote, and he got them....so Manchin, Pryor, Landrieu, Begich et al each cast the deciding vote for this monstrous program. They should be held fully accountable for the consequences.
My comment on Politico:
Comrades, do not listen to nay-sayers like Joe Manchin! Obamacare is on track like Soviet locomotive at full speed! As Dear Leader Obama said to AFL-CIO in 2003, single payer is goal, and will take several steps and maybe ten years to become reality. Now it is 2013, and plan is on schedule, as soon as destruction of obsolete so-called “free market” medical insurance corporations is complete. All according to plan, comrades! Soon, single-payer National Socialist healthcare will be reality for all good comrades, like in best years of former Soviet Union! And best of all, with hard work by commissar-navigators in new ACA-NSA-IRS data-hub fusion centers, bad comrades from reactionary “tea party” groups will soon “get minds right,” or no operation or brat kids, or medicine for useless feeders like old granny! Like comrade Zeke Emmanuel says, only good comrades of productive working years need good National Socialist healthcare! For others, take pain pill, like said Dear Leader Obama!
