If profiteering from the rigged system is bad, how much worse is it that the government itself reported twice since July that basic information to determine enrollment and subsidy eligibility was not verified by the federal Health Insurance Marketplace or insurance exchanges examined in California and Kentucky? To test the system, investigators submitted 10 fictitious applications. All 10 were approved. One study concluded the government "could not verify" $2.8 billion in financial assistance payments through April 2014.
Central planners never can include enough protections and contingencies to thwart self-interested human behavior. Neither can Washington foresee how markets will behave by artificially limiting and directing responses.
How was such a beast born? Taxes.
Taxes feed mammoth government. Taxes pay bureaucrats to control you. Taxes reward political cronies at taxpayers' expense. You can't persuade people who already have your money that they shouldn't spend it. You must deny them the money. Follow the money to see who's in control. It's not you.

The Kenyan has his fingers crossed that this scam can last just one more year then he’s outta there. It’s somebody else’s mess once his ass hits the road.
Of course Pelousy knew; all the Demonrats knew, all the Republicrats knew, the hold outs just had to have their price met and paid.

This is why socialism fails. It isn’t just the fact they run out of other people’s money. It’s why they do
The Obamacare penalty is a better deal than Obamacare.
Whoopie!!! Another of wimpy’s legacies down the tubes!!!
In a perverse twist of fate, Obamacare made it possible for me to get better insurance. When Fubocare rolled out, my provider cancelled my HMO ( I guess being a male at more than 70 years of age, they thought I needed the ability to get an abortion, etc., which my then current MC Advantage Plan didn’t cover). And the efffing insurance carrier didn’t offer me ( ten year customer) any alternatives, they just said, “you’re cancelled.” Well, there was good news here, because of the cancellation, I was now “eligible” to obtain whatever coverage I wanted ( you can’t upgrade as you age under normal circumstances). So through AMAC ( and I can’t say enough good things about them and their insurance people) I was able to get a Medicare Supplement Plan “F”, which is the best available, for very little more than I was paying for MC Advantage ( with all it’s copays and restrictions on doctors and having to have your PC physician approve your seeing a specialist). So it’s been good for two years now. But today the insurance company called to see if I would “be interested” in taking their MC Advantage Plan. When I told them no, and explained how much I liked the Supplement F, she told me that they were not going to offer that coverage any more, but that as a current subscriber, I was grandfathered in and could keep it. So what we have here is Supplements are costing the carriers too much, whereas with MC Advantage (which is $hit coverage) the insurors get a fixed amount of money from MC and they limit coverages and the doctors you can see. So for me, the only question is, how long will it be, before the Supplements are cancelled for everyone?
Obama and the RATS have really screwed everyone!

I would like to see an honest and non-biased look at the fortunes of those who wrote this mess. What do you want to bet that the authors of Obamacare have made loads of money off of it?
I know there were a few liberal academia types that contributed, but those in the industry have probably made major bank on this (like most big government bills - big winners and big losers).

You thought Obamacare was really about providing healthcare? Its just another one of his scams to rape the taxpayer (other than carbon credits and climate change EPA fees)
cough!
cough!
“You thought Obamacare was really about providing healthcare?”
No, not at all, but I still have to try and provide for my own healthcare in the environment that The Halfbreed has established. Maybe you’re still a young person, so you have time on your side to see this mess fixed. I am extremely fortunate at 75 to be in excellent health, but that is not the case for many who are my age. So while I agree Obamacare was never about health care, but rather control of the populus, there is still the matter of health maintenance with which we each have to deal irrespective of that fact.
Cough up some more $$$$
That was a sarcastic rhetorical question to make a point not aimed at you personally...: )
What are those of us who are Seniors on Medicare, pre-paid taxes, and Tricare Life, for career Military over 65. Supposed to do? It is limited coverage, controlled by the Feds and DOD. We have co-pays, and are DOD MANDATED to use Military dispensaries or Express Scripts. Which has been sued for fraud by different states. It was a 2014 cumbersome pilot program made permanent in 2015. And we get no COLA raise in 2016. Yet the cost of food has gone sky high. Even at the Military Commissary.
We don’t have dental, vision coverage or hearing, and those 3 items are very expensive. VA due to disability provides hearing aids for my husband who served 20 years and retired as a SCPO and has high freq. hearing loss due to jet engine noise as he worked the flight deck before they knew about hearing issues. I just learned I have an enlarged heart and a small leaky valve to go with all my other health issues. None of them treatable or curable. Inadequate pain control drives up the BP into heart attack range.
Living humans? Okay, but they have to draw the line at some point.
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding this
to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our turn is
coming again soon. We stand united against Islamic
extremists, oxymoron or not.
Good that you described the details. We need more of that.
I’m dealing with a different set of headaches, but I appreciate your situation.
BTW, there’s a tinnitus ping list if you’re interested. Let me know.
Obama could literally take the Constitution out of the National Archives and use it to wipe his butt and it would be less disrespectful than forcing us to raise his rape baby, Obamacare.
Pelsosi and the rest were all in on the massive scam and should be held accountable
