Can You Hear the ObamaCare Train Wreck Now?
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 10/1/2013 | IBD Staff

Posted on 10/02/2013 6:57:44 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

Glitches: The federal government had 1,288 days to build the ObamaCare exchanges, where millions are supposed to enroll. Yet they were crashing across the U.S. on opening day. Your health care is in the best of hands.

Since late last year, administration officials told anyone who'd listen they were on track to open the ObamaCare exchanges on time by Oct. 1.

Last December, Gary Cohen, who has been heading up ObamaCare implementation efforts, told state regulators that "10 months from today, people will be signing up for health insurance." The next month, he said again that "yes, we will be ready."

In March, Cohen was "absolutely confident that every state will have an exchange that will be functioning and ready" by ObamaCare's official start date.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a congressional panel in April: "We are determined and on track to meet the Oct. 1 deadline." A month later she was "very confident that we will be successful" in "having marketplaces in every state around the country starting Oct. 1." She said it again in June.

It's not supposed to work. It's all part of the Cloward-Piven strategy.

Failure will prove that we need a "single-payer" system, where every health care dollar passes through the fingers of the feral government and unionized feral government employees.

It will be interesting to see just how quickly they come out and explicitly say that we need to adopt something like Britain’s National Healthcare System. It’s clearly their goal, but how long will it be before they actually say it?

Suffice it to say I’m a reasonably intelligent person who’s more computer literate than most low info voters and Mahdi supporters. Nevertheless, I’ve run into bad software that sends me in maddening cyber circles that are vastly less horrible than the cyber circles ObamaCare has created for every person to will try to enroll. Indeed, it looks like an IQ test that can only be passed by somebody with IQ of 130 or above will be administered to a lot of people who are at 100 or less. That’s a recipe for chaos and absolute frustration among Obama voters especially. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch. Let’s hope it produces a massive revolt, like that one that got the original Medicare prescription drug benefit repealed.

I hear the train a’ coming
It’s rolling’ round the bend
And I ain’t had no healthcare since
I don’t remember when

I’m stuck in Socialism
And it keeps dragging down
But that train keeps on a’ rollin’
Perhaps we’re too far gone

Great!

The Obozos with Obozocare are feeding the creative minds of Freepers and other conservatives across the nation.

An excellent statement posted in the comments in the article:

In Texas the voter photo ID law has been declared by Eric Holder to be discriminatory against minorities because of the burden of acquiring the ID. After reading about the process needed to sign up for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act , one can only conclude that this Act is especially discriminatory against minorities. The information needed to qualify to vote is insignificant compared to enormous amount of information needed to buy insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Eric Holder needs to look into this.

Furthermore, signing up to vote is a voluntary right; signing up for the Affordable Care Act is mandatory with a penalty if you don't. Since only a small fraction of the information that is needed for the Affordable Care Act is needed for the photo ID, why not just grant the photo ID at the same time?

I’m not bleeding edge so if I was fool enough to enroll in this puke bucket of an entitlement, I would have waited until all the kinks were worked out. If they couldn’t work them all out in the time allotted for enrollment, my name stays out of the database.

The Obummer lackeys are working overtime to reinforce the less damaging term of “glitch”. I don’t know about you, but what I’m hearing and according to my experience, this is a CRASH.

Every conservative in front of a microphone needs to use the word “crash” instead of “glitch”. We cannot allow them to dictate the terminology.

Never underestimate the ability of the people to tolerate terrible government programs. Public schools anyone?

Would you please spare some time to use IBD’s great one word left out of Obozocare ads, Mandate.

I have to travel to see my Ortho foot doctor.

“The One Word Missing From All Those ObamaCare Ads”:

A recent IBD front page article/editorial was based on the one word that the Obozocare Nazis never mention.

That word is Mandate, where every American is forced or mandated into accepting and paying for ObozoCare.

The main target of the Mandate are the young health Americans not in need of this costly witches brew.

If they are not mandated/forced to join, Obozocare will die on its own.

This link will take everyone to read about the missing word, Mandate, in every pro Obozocare ad and propaganda coming out of the outhouse and congress:

Let’s hope it produces a massive revolt, like that one that got the original Medicare prescription drug benefit repealed.

If you want to kill Obamacare deader than a doornail, find a plaintiff who has zero income and incurs the penalty.

The penalty is $95 or 1% of income, whichever is greater.

With $0 income, that $95 becomes a direct tax and is therefore unconstitutional. It is no longer an income tax once it hits someone without an income. You can't tax zero!

At the very least the individual mandate will fall then if not the whole thing. Once the mandate falls, the premiums will skyrocket and it truly will be the "UNaffordable Care Act"

You’ve picked up on a good one here. Another, closely related point is that working through this almost impossible website is much like trying to pass the most adversely hostile literacy test ever conceived, IOW it antagonistivally discriminates against blacks and other minorities.

I’ll bet there’s rich folks eatin’
in them fancy dinin’ cars
they’re prob’ly drinkin’ coffee
and smokin’ big cigars
I know I hear it comin’
I know it CAN’T BE FREE
but that train keeps a’wreckin’
and that’s what tickles me

Actually THIS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et3fVvAbL7k should be the theme song for Obummercare.
