Happy to say I’m from Oregon, “from” being the operative word.

‘From’ and still stuck in Oregon, I’m formulating a post that demonstrates what an unmitigated disaster this is.

However, I’m completely at odds with how to address the unbelievable ‘inattention’ this is getting from conservative media and Republicans; I just don’t get it.

I’m extremely busy and hope to have something middle of the week...if somebody else doesn’t actually do a story on the broad picture first, metaphorically-written with a very, very sharp pen...

In the real world...every single elected guy...Republican or Democrat...would be thrown out of office in the next election. But, sadly, this is not the real world.

And the $300 million? It’s as if it never existed. In some Twilight Zone...

It wasn’t their money. It was from Obama’s stash. Why should they care?

"IF YOU LIKE YOUR PLAN, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PLAN. PERIOD. AND YOU'LL SAVE MONEY."

HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK Once upon a time in Obama's Utopia, tolerant compassionate Democrats kindly conferred cheap affordable universal healthcare on us American who are total scum.

Even though we are all rank cowards on the subect of race, for the first time, we undeserving misogynist, racist, homophobic Americans were going to have our health needs taken care of by our benevolent government.

Kindly Democrats (who despise the 1%) conferred cheap health benefits on all of us Americans, not just those intolerant greedsters with money (who create all the jobs that make the economy run smoothly).

Benevolent Democrats in Capitol Hill offices dreamed of millions of formerly uninsured Americans, and their illegal brethren, marching in lockstep to the polls to vote for kindly Democrats---the givers of all good governmental things.

Kindly benevolent Democrats would sail to electoral victory b/c they stood up to the evil insurance-medical-industrial complex on behalf of us cowardly, undeserving Americans.

Peace, happiness and universal well-being would reign over the land.

And we'd all live happily ever after.....even with astronomical deductibles, drug rationing, and I-PAB Death Panels looming in the distance.

===============================================

O/CARE---DIRECT FROM THE MADOFF FLIM FLAM PLAYBOOK

Skyrocketing premiums, ruinous deductibles, impossible co-pays......none of it was ever mentioned when Democrats marched in lockstep to foist this scam on Americans. The Obamatons dreamed up a bunch of oily phrases that would put Madoff to shame:

<><> O/Care is"freedom"---not being tied to employers' health care.

<><> millenial subsidizing the elderly is "Individual shared responsibility".

<><> the unforgettable "we're going to aggregate the numbers" penalty (WRT employers forced to downsize to escape onerous O/Care mandates).

<><> Speaker Nancy Pelosi's laughable “we'll find out what's in it when it becomes law.”

===========================================

Obamacare is a total misrepresentation, sold with broken promises. Saving costs was a big one. In 2009, the Congressional Budget Office set the net cost of Obamacare at $599 billion over 10 years -- citing a gross cost of $848 billion less $249 billion in tax revenues and other cost savings.

But recently the CBO revised the 10-year price tag to more than $2 trillion. Economist Jonathan Gruber, the father of Romneycare -- which was the template for Obamacare -- recently admitted that well, no, costs will not be going down. "Covering people with health insurance doesn't save money," said Gruber. "That was sometimes a misleading motivator for the Affordable Care Act.

BTW, the law isn't designed to save money. It's designed to improve health, and that's going to cost money." So, Obamacare won't save money, but at least those too poor to afford health insurance will now lead healthier lives, right?

Guess again.
