More ObamaCare rate shock awaits… after the elections, of course (Pelosi knew)

Democrats’ strategy for keeping their ObamaCare losses to a minimum in the 2014 elections is a combination of denial and obfuscation. The “denial” part consists of loudly insisting that nobody is complaining about ObamaCare any more, so it must not be that big of a political liability for them. The fact that people across the country are complaining about ObamaCare is irrelevant; this is a Jedi mind trick, not a reasoned argument.

As for the obfuscation part, well, that’s simple: the Administration contrived to keep 2015 insurance premiums under wraps until after the election. The new and improved HealthCareDotGov is supposed to be able to handle open enrollment a lot better than the crash-tastic nightmare dumped on the American people last year. (You’ve forgotten about that, right, voters? The Democrat Party certainly hopes so.) Alas, there wasn’t time to load the new premium schedule into the website before the 2014 elections, because of sunspot activity, or zombies, or maybe it was a gypsy curse. Anyway, you’ll just have to wait until after you’ve voted to receive your delightful ObamaCare surprise.

By the way, can I ask a question about the finances of HealthCareDotGov? The biggest disaster in the history of the Internet cost a billion dollars to create, and another billion dollars to fix. Those who complained about these costs were told to stop worry about how the Department of Health and Human Services spends every last dollar – there was plenty of cash to pay for all this, no problem, and only a lemon-sucking, green-eyeshade-wearing Republican sourpuss would carp about the price tag. But now the same Department of Health and Human Services claims it doesn’t have enough money to deal with the Ebola crisis. Isn’t it fair to say that the disastrous launch of the ObamaCare website gobbled up all our Ebola money? Too bad nobody was responsible for managing that project and making sure it came in under budget, huh?

This is the part RATS want to 'fix' - right?

What am I supposed to feel sorry for people?

People like me WARNED THEM this would happen.

And they sneered. They called us “racists”. They accused us of wanting to kill poor people.

And even in light of these new revelations - as if the old ones weren’t bad enough, the Democrats who brought us this are still (largely) going to win re-election. Because complete idiots support them.

Now they can all kiss my ASS! I’m glad their healthcare rates are SKYROCKETING. They keep voting for it. So let them enjoy it.

But Nasty P. Lousy keeps mumbling “affordable....affordable....affordable.......

[ripley]

“Because complete idiots support them.”

They’re worse than complete idiots.
They consciously support someone who swears to uphold the Constitution and then knowlingly undermines it, ridicules it, circumvents it and subverts it.

Yup. Much, much worse and dangerous than idiots.

IMHO

[SpaceBar]

From day one I have been saying that the surest way to be rid of obamacare is to fully implement it without delay, using door to door searches and police dogs if necessary.

[zwerni]

How are you immune to the skyrocketing costs? It affects all of us...

[Tzimisce]

How are you immune to the skyrocketing costs? It affects all of us...

I'm not immune.

But every time I speak up about it I'm called a "racist".

[eyeamok]

And CONGRESS has allowed it, they could have stopped every delay since day one. They are all complicit.

Keep in mind, Obamacare is a HUGE voter fraud machine----plugging unsuspecting enrollees into Democrat voter rolls.

Local couple upset after receiving pre-marked voter registration card from "Covered California" (Cali O/Care)
10news | 03-29-2014 | Preston Phillips / FR Posted by Kevin in California

A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from the state's 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.

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

Watta surprise (cackle). Turns out Obamacare is a vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power.....w/ a multi-billion dollar slush fund.

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........

....the reasons for all those O/Care delays, fixits, exemptions, waivers, extensions, etc, are becoming crystal clear.

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

Obama signs 2010 health care bill--Nancy Pelosi is ecstatic.

"Those Democrats leering over my shoulder owe me bigtime. This
healthcare bill insures we have a permanent Democratic majority."

"All except those Tea Party types, swallowed hook, line and sinker my promises that they could":
(1) keep their existing health plans,
(2) keep their own doctors that they like,
(3) keep their 25-year-olds on the family health plan,
(4) never be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition,
(5) sign up instantly on my tech-savvy government Web site,
(6) buy insurance only after becoming seriously ill."
(7) save $2,500 in annual premiums in the bargain....
(8) All without any new taxes.

"Them sonovagun Tea Partiers will rue the day they criticized my wonderful bill."
