Government Takeover: White House Forces Obamacare Insurers To Cover Unpaid Patients At A Loss

Of all of the last-minute delays, website bungles, and Presidential whims that have marred the roll-out of Obamacare’s subsidized insurance exchanges, what happened on Thursday, December 12 will stand as one of the most lawless acts yet committed by this administration.

Insurance companies sowing the seeds for their own demise.

Excellent posters! However first they have to relearn that it was Democrats who were pro-slavery and the Republicans were not.

I wrote some time ago about the necessity for there having been an under-the-table promise. We all know the insurance companies were supporting deathcare on the promise they were going to get 30 million new customers. And they had to know the Kenyan really wanted National health care. But even if that happens somebody, somebody as large as all the existing insurance companies put together, would be needed to run it. And with the Kenyan promising no losses the rest of the promise has to be that the companies would each get a piece of the “administering.” That’s also why AARP likes it.

I don’t believe the Kenyan has a clear path laid out to get from deathcare to nathealthcare and all those dim voters who supported this krap are in for some real heartburn. Maybe they can use those obamaphones to stop the bleeding-—just strap it on to an owie and wait for it to heal.

Before it became the law of the land?

Everything is corrupted by “Crony capitalism”. They were likely assured of perpetual bailouts (see AIG, Wall Street etc) and premium subsidies.

They disgustingly supported ObamaCare because it forced everyone to buy health insurance, of course they also may have had to wait until the RATs “passed it so they could see what’s in it”.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

insurance companies this time

How about "again".

Remember AIG?

Thanks for the ping. More Marxism by edict.

I’m not sure which is worse:

1) The surety of knowing that our stalwarts in Congress (Boehner, McConnell) would cave into Obamas demands or

2) That Obama knows they’d cave and isn’t doing it anyway just because it’d look bad if he did

[Chode]

you were saying???

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE ARMAGEDDON

It’s beginning to look a lot like Armageddon
Bama’s still squatting in the White Hut;
Uses a teleprompter so well, it’s Jarrett can’t you tell
Soros and globalists like the show.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Armageddon
Hurtling over the fiscal cliff;
Michelle’s spending all she can, while still blaming the white man
Liberal fascism for sure.

Well there’s commies n muzzies n Benghazi but no worries says the propaganda press ministry of spin;

Ayers n Davis Black Panthers n Operation Furious Solyndra don’t forget Cloward Piven;

And the ruling class of corrupt Congress hacks are giddy all over again.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Armageddon
Bama’s still squatting in the White Hut;
No birth documents to show, the Usurpers gotta go
Reggie Love is waiting under the mistletoe (oh no!).

It’s beginning to look a lot like Armageddon
ObambiCare they say is the “law of the land”;
Justice Roberts violated his oath, Barry Soetoro still smokes
And our troops keep dying in ‘Stan.

Everyone: READ THE FULL FORBES ARTICLE FIRST. IT IS EXCELLENT AND NAILS OBOMACARE FOR WHAT IT IS. I haven't read an article with such clarity on the subject of the left and obomacare, as I have this article. Please read the article FIRST.

It is the Chicago way! Protection money!

In 1938 Czechoslovakia was forced into an annexation of their most defensible territory to avoid war with Germany. They would have been better off to refuse the agreement, expel all ethnic Germans from the Sudetenland, and fight it out right then and there. They wound up losing their country the following year anyway. They would have at least been able to bloody the Nazis badly, and gone down like lions, rather than lambs had they defended themselves when they could.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Everyone ignore my last post! I do think cherokee1 has it right. The insurance companies don’t want to fight. They’ve been assured that each of a handful of big companies will become regional administrators of the coming National Healthcare System. Of course, like at Munich in 1938, the “last territorial demand” will prove to be a lie, and the private insurance companies will be dissolved, with their functions transferred to the new HSA, modeled after the TSA, but by then it will be too late.

Of course AARP is loving it. They’re so far up obama’s ass they don’t need to talk about it.

[KTM rider]

Obamacare or "the Un-affordable Healthcare Act" is not law as the president and his minions contend.

Law is passed within the parameters of established government

Obamacare is extortion and nothing more,

there was absolutly no justification for the federal government to hijack the healthcare industry to steal money it did not earn, anymore than it would be to seize the auto insurance industry for profit.

The SCOTUS wants to call it a "tax" but that is a stretch because they know it is extortion and they are complicit also.

Thank you for posting the Washington news article. The comments after the article affirmed that people are waking.

[IIntense]

You most likely won’t hear them. You may be bawling so loudly yourself because you are on the “Titanic” along with them.
