New video of Gruber shows him describing how to make Husseincare wither on the vine - just ignore the law. Surely the Kenyan would completely understand how to do that.

When two liberals finish a conversation they both walk away thinking that they have just finished talking to the dumbest person they have ever met

Stupid American voters.

“a lot of Americans have no idea what insurance is about.”

In regards healthcare insurance, that’s absolutely true...and these guys took full advantage of that.

[Dr. Sivana]

'A lot of Americans have no idea what insurance is about'

Insurance is about spreading the risk of the expense against unaffordable remedies among many people so that the remedy can sometimes be provided.

If you want to provide for loved ones in the case of an untimely death, you buy life insurance.

If you want to provide compensation for someone or someone's property you hurt with your car, you buy auto insurance.

If you want to be able to replace or repair a house destroyed by a tornado or fire, you buy homeowner's insurance.

If you want to be able to pay for cancer treatment or some other ailment that falls outside of planned medical maintenance and minor expenses, you get medical insurance.

Sebelius' required coverage for artificial contraception has nothing to do with insurance. Sebelius' implementation of Obamacare, that was fought for up to the Supreme COurt, has NOTHING to do with insurance. It has everything to do with what procedures will be paid for by the Obamacare taxes.

Can we start a campaign to get the new congress to make their medical insurance straight OBamaCare without the phony supplements they now have made themselves entitled to? Shouldn't they have to play by the rules they vote for? Might drive a few more to retire/leave or perhaps change the law.

Actually, it’s a stretch to call it (ACA) “insurance”. It’s a mandatory wealth-transfer program.

[Usagi_yo]

Insurance is a tool of society to mitigate risk and indemnify happenstance.

If it’s run by government, then it’s not insurance. It’s government, a tool of government. The IRS has their big greedy hands in Obamacare. If that’s not enough proof then I don’t know what is.

Everybody is in the same plan, everybody has the same coverage. Premiums are calculated from last years medical expenses, but not administrative. Every premium goes towards medical expenses, no ‘lock box or borrowing from the fund since every year the pool is set to zero — progressive schedule on premiums if you like.

Too bad a bunch of U.S fortune 500 companies will be totally put out of business and 300k people out of work. :/ <— sarcasm tag.

Yes, It’s socialistic. No I’m not a socialist. It’s just the employee/employer relationship paradigm is changing just as Alvin and Heidi Toffler predicted.

Ex-HHS Secy Sibelius says Americans have "very low" financial literacy about insurance terms because insurance is complicated,” she said WRT the botched Obamacare atrocity which took form under her reign.

Mmmmmmm.......sounds a lot like Madoff's tactics---to shrug off, and demean, the suckers he was ripping off.

REALITY CHECK when govt con artists screw-up---they resort to conman parlance to cover their ***es.

They stupidly backed themselves into a corner, so they do what any practiced conman would do.......they blame their victims.

We're just "too stupid" to figure it out.....we need the govt's help.

What does Sibelius know about this?

HHS “Started” Individual Obamacare Applications Prior To Deadline; Obtained Personal Info From States
Shark Tank / FR Posted on Friday, April 04, 2014 by M. Thatcher

In the closing days of the open enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) , the US Dept of Health and Human Services (HHS) was mailing out letters notifying certain Americans that the govt agency had already started a healthcare coverage application on their behalf.

The HHS letter stated that the information they used to begin the application for individual Healthcare was obtain by the state agency in charge of implementing Obamacare.

The next step for the individual would be to visit the web site Healthcare.gov and complete the already started application to see if they qualify for “Marketplace coverage.”

News of the HHS letter was first mentioned by a listener of the popular “Daybreak with Drew Steele” Show on Fox 92.5, which is out of Fort Myers, Florida.(Excerpt)

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

NEED TO KNOW:

(1) which states participated in giving confidential information to HHS, and,

(2) how would state agencies know which of their citizens would want or need a new Obamacare-compliant policy.......without violating that individual's privacy--and without consulting the individual?

(3) for an application to be legally enforced, the individual would have had to sign it.

(4) Who signed the app? (Forgery must be considered.)

(5) When a third party commits you to a financial transaction, that person is considered your fiduciary....and CANNOT act WRT a payment method or other financial burden that conflicts with your best interests.

Sebelius said, adding that many people close to Obama had expressed skepticism or outright opposition to the plans.

“But was it worth it? You bet,” she said.

This arrogance of the left is breathtaking. "Sure we destroyed industries, jobs, the economy and even lives for an idea we thought might be bad. Was it worth it? You bet."

[Diogenesis]

Why is everyone who created, or runs,
OBAMACARE/RomneyCARE not controlled by it, but is EXEMPT?

Special, aren’t they?

“The former Kansas governor said the fallout from Gruber’s comments were already hurting the healthcare law he helped shape, and could be worse after he is grilled by the House Oversight Committee.”

It were? They does? Idiot journalists.

[USS Alaska]

Former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Tuesday dismissed the recent comments by ObamaCare consultant Jonathan Gruber, though she acknowledged that “a lot of Americans have no idea what insurance is about.”

Although very condescending, sebelius is correct in that many Americans have no clue about health insurance...since they think that they shouldn't have to pay for it...or anything else.

Communism on parade.

'A lot of Americans have no idea what insurance is about'

OK, Sebelius, explain how pre-existing fits into insurance.

“He didn’t influence the members of Congress who actually wrote the legislation.”

Really? And exactly who are/were those members who “actually” wrote the legislation?

[M-cubed]

Americans have “very low” financial literacy about insurance terms like “deductible” and “copay.” <<

Yeah....Nobody can understand those words.....maybe converting them to Spanish will help....../s

[newnhdad]

democrats sold it as everyone getting free stuff. Now, since the lie has been exposed, they blame everyone for believing them.

[MaggiesPitchfork]

Oh, NOW she wants to call it “insurance”. For the past several years they called it “health CARE”. Is this going to be like global warming/climate change/disruption where they change the terms every couple of years hoping to grab the loyalty of different levels of ignorant voters?

[TexasFreeper2009]

“He didn’t influence the members of Congress who actually wrote the legislation.”

ROFL

members of congress didn't write the legislation!!!!

health insurance lobbyists did!

[Fester Chugabrew]

A lot of Americans know what Kathleen Sebelius is about.
