ObamaCare finds its Level
American Thinker ^ | November 10, 2013 | J.R. Dunn

Posted on 11/10/2013 2:11:27 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

ObamaCare promotion has now sunk to the lowest level conceivable: fake e-mail "testimonials" blasted out to unrelated comment threads. These are in imitation of the "sister-in-law" employment ads that have infested internet threads since the days of Hammurabi: "By gosh, my sister-in-law makes $3,587.53 a week over the internet, working only three hours a day, etc."

Here's an almost identical comment that appeared yesterday, on a thread to an article dealing with how to identify psychopaths (a topic of some interest to me, since I know about fifty of them):

epk1118

Thank God for Affordable Health Care. We have been paying $1730 a month for bottom end Blue cross Blue Shield for some time now. With AHC we now can get the best care and only have to pay a little over $ 800 a month. Thank you Obama for making this happen. If you see negatives on here it is for sure they are GOP people trying to hurt Obama at our health care lose. Don't listen to them please!!!!

Note the similarities: the bogus personalization, the overwrought enthusiasm put in the most simpleminded terms, the specific, odd monetary figures added for verisimilitude. The only difference is that the "sister-in-law" emails generally don't feature a villain -- or for that matter, a savior. ("Thank you Obama...")

This is from hunger. You can't get more desperate than to resort to this type of promotion. It reeks of "scam" from the first word to the last.....

It will likely turn into a Santa, at least for awhile...

Congress will start applying “fixes”, wait and see...

Those “fixes” will be more subsidies and the postponement of the mandatory signup (source of revenue). What will happen is there will be far less revenue and much higher costs making it just another free bee entitlement program that doesn’t even begin to pay for itself. As long as magic money pays for it all, many will be pleased... Never mind insolvency... That’s left to another day...

“...who don’t pay attention or maybe just aren’t all that bright who believed the moron in the white house.”

But I think the media deserves a good part of the blame.

I/we knew a lot of current policies weren’t going to pass muster under Obamacare. This was written about in various places. I don’t blame the low info voters for not reading FR or NRO or other such sites. But you know gosh darn well that reporters from the MSM read them.

Now the media is acting “shocked, shocked” that this is happening, like it’s news to them. But it’s not, THEY KNEW TOO and again and again they chose protecting their “god” Obama rather than doing their constitutionally mandated job of informing the public.

If people actually die because of this debacle the blood is on their hands too.

Those fixes will also provide opportunities to include lots more pork.

And just think of the potential “unintended” consequences that are likely to develop when changes are made to the thousands of pages of law and regulations that nobody understands.

Try as they might it won’t work for the 5 million people who have lost their health care insurance and can’t find these “cheap” alternatives. And wait until the premium rises for the other people who currently have insurance including these dorks who are writing this garbage. They’ll be the first to start complaining.

Spam emails---another indication of----as Ntl Journal journo Ron Fournier famously dubbed it---Obama's "orchestrated deceit".

Fournier was referring to Obama colluding w/ his political team in an effort to force irate cancelled policyholders to forget the 30 odd times Obo/robo said, "If you like your plan, You can keep yur plan."

Obama apparently conspired to assemble a last-minute meeting of his political team, so that Obama could read notes the team placed on the dais; he actually pointed to the words as he spoke them, to get them right---(your first-grade reading teacher told you pointing was a no-no).

Pointing to each word, Obama "claimed" what he actually said was, "you can keep your plan IF it had no changes before the law was enacted."

A blatant unconscionable lie. Obama even lied about lying.

P.J. O’Rourke was right when he stated that the government will never admit failure. “It’s not failure, it’s underfunded”
Didn’t Ozzy say something about going “off the rails on a crazy train.”

I am a Kenyan prince in need of your help. You see I have come to a large sum of money but am unable to obtain control of said funds in order to expatriate them to the united states. I am writing to you to ask that you sign up for affordable insurance through our website and in return we will forward subsidies and provide you with healthcare. This healthcare will guarantee you birth control, unlimited abortions, psychiatric consultations (trust me, you need them), and vaccinations against illnesses. You will save $2500 a year for each policy! The benefits to you are many and you must sign up to find out what they are. Please go to our website and agree to pay $1200/month and after providing me with all of your personal information I will allow you a large deductible against all benefits! I have in my possession a certificate from Nancy Pelosi and signed by Harry Reid attesting to the validity of this offer. It bears the seal of the IRS and also of my high office to demonstrate my truthfulness. Please respond by March 15 or we will be forced to appropriate your cooperation by more direct means. We look forward to your conversion inshalla.

Reminds me of when Penny told Sheldon something he said was "jibber jabber", he proceded to tell her where the term "jibber jabber" came from, she interrupted him saying, "Oh my gosh, you're going to jibber jabber about jibber jabber".

Probably not the specific article you are asking for, but go to

http://www.minddisorders.com/Flu-Inv/Hare-Psychopathy-Checklist.html

If you have a further interest, I recommend you read Dr Robert Hare’s book “Without Conscience”. It gives the average Joe what I think is an in depth view of just what a psychopath really is. It’s a must read for victims.

...who don’t pay attention or maybe just aren’t all that bright...

I would suggest a minor correction on your statement. Make the "or" "and/or."

This reminds me of how Jews in the Nazi concentration camps worked with the German camp guards to herd their fellow Jews into the gas chambers and when those same ‘helpers’ were used up they were sent to the chambers themselves.

The private insurers early on bought into the Obamacare scam and when Obama is done with having them ‘help’ they too will be discarded and destroyed in favor of Single Payer.

Private Insurance Sector May Take On Larger Obamacare Role
Sunday, November 10, 2013 09:52 AM

By: Elliot Jager

Facing pressure from the public and Washington lawmakers, the Obama administration may be laying the groundwork for using the insurance industry to directly sign up large numbers of uninsured Americans, The Washington Post reported.

Insurers have been working behind-the-scenes on contingency plans should they be asked to step-in and take a larger role, The Post reported.

The White House is also turning to private insurers for technical help to fix the HealthCare.gov site. Starting this week industry computer specialists will work directly with those writing code for HealthCare.gov.

One of these spammers hit a Facebook homeschool page last night when the very sweet page owner, The Home Scholar, simply asked people to respond with Yes or No, if they've had their policies cancelled:

Debbie Collins Yes or No doesn't cover it. Yes I lost coverage but also discovered I have major financial plusses under Obamacare. We are $800 per month better off! I am not a liberal but feel like I have been duped by Republicans on this issue.

"Debbie" was shot down over and over again, very politely, by a number of women.

My response:

Debbie, if your story is true, you are as rare as a unicorn. The woman who mentioned that her premium went up by $450 is paying for YOUR insurance. I think a sincere 'thank you' is in order.

Her response (typical):

Debbie Collins: Wow people - just wow!

Debbie Collins: One hundred percent true! Unfollowing this thread!

Debbie Collins: And before I go - I'm from UK socialised medicine inside of capitalism. An amazing thing I will NEVER allow to be told is evil.


Of course I was called to task by another woman there. Oh well.

We have to attack these people, and call them out on their lies. For myself, I AM SO WEARY OF THE LIES. More than 6 years of nothing but lies and deceptions coming from the Obama regime. And then they PAY others to perpetuate their lies and those people are happy to do it.

Personalize and ridicule. Feel free to copy and paste.
