Obamacare's Failure In One Chart

Confirming our fears from a few days ago, the early numbers are in for Obamacare... and they are not good. Of course, listening to "bloggers" an be bad for your health, but it seems, very few of the million of "uninsured" have decided that it is as crucial as the "leader" has exclaimed. As Millard Brown Digital reports, fewer than 1% of those trying to register for health insurance under Obamacare have completed the enrollment process. The following inverted pyramid highlights the dismal reality of the Affordable Car Act so far...

If that upside down pyramid was drawn to scale it would have an itty bitty needle tip.

You mean Obama-?

[apillar]

And it get even worse for Obamacare:

It is being reported on Drudge that of the 36,000 that managed to enroll, many of those applications are being rejected once they are forwarded to the insurance companies because they are incomplete or have bogus information.

[SMARTY]

I was going to say, invert this thing and it illustrates (to scale) how the few will PAY for all the rest.

The pressure will just build and build and build against this boondoggle until it gives. People in other socialized medicine schemes before often had the option to go elsewhere. Case in point, Britain: when a plane ticket from London to New York was sometimes only $200, the answer became obvious to desperate cases, and offloaded them from Britain’s NHS and did not become crying shames. But now this mess is claiming the elsewhere. The only question before us is just when and just how. The eventual parting will be very illustrative.

More takers for one-way trip to Mars than for Obamacare

[cripplecreek]

Sounds like a fair number of successful signups may be fraudulent.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

I wonder how many of these so-called “visitors” and “sign-ups” are legitimate or if some gov’t mule/s keep/s visiting the site to jack up the numbers.

[Raebie]

They need the final tip at the end.

“# of people who SUCCESSFULLY completed enrollment”

Insurers are reportin significant data issues in their transmission files. This is a total cluster.

Remember---"we have to pass it to see what's in it?

Now the monstrosity unfolds---QUADRUPLING PREMIUMS, QUADRUPLING COPAYS...plus the new COPAY to check in to the hospital, and the new COPAY to CHECK OUT.

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

Remember---"we have to pass it to see what's in it?

WAIT'LL DOCTORS SEE THEIR INCOME DEMOLISHED. October 2014 will usher in a new diagnosis coding called ICD 10. Even the CMS official responsible for initiating this monstrosity has admitted that PHYSICIANS NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO ADEQUATE CAPITAL TO FUND THEIR PRACTICES FOR 6-8 MONTHS as this change will produce almost no revenue for that time period. Will your doctor be bankrupt around January 1, 2015?

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

Remember---"we have to pass it to see what's in it?

O/CARE'S MASSIVE PRIVACY INVASION Doctors, hospitals, and other health professionals are being pressured to adopt electronic medical record systems and send patient information to the federal government's medical database by 2015. If they don't comply, they'll be penalized with reduced payments for services. This means the government will own your personal, private information, and you have no say in the matter.

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

Remember---"we have to pass it to see what's in it?

Emerging errors include duplicate enrollments, spouses reported as children, missing data fields and suspect eligibility determinations. One insurer said one enrollee had successfully signed up for three of its health plans.

Multiple enrollments? Could mean multiple identities---the conniving latino trick to get their filthy hands on more US benefits.

The more cynical among us might conclude the Chi/criminals in the WH have been ordered to salt the stats to make the O/care debacle look better.

BTW, insurers better check to see that all the enrollee are still alive and that Valerie is not employing the Chi/criminal politics MO----like the tried and true dead-and-buried-voters trick.

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

Mmmmmmmm....this is so reassuring (/snix).

DAILY CALLER.COM--Kansas Obamacare ‘navigator’
has outstanding arrest warrant / by Michael Volpe

>

Rosilyn Wells — the Director of Outreach and Enrollment for the Heartland Community Health-care Center (HCHC)-- was hired as an Obamacare "navigator" despite her shady financial history: (1) a bankruptcy in 2003, (2) a 2007 civil charge from a local check cashing business for writing a bad check, (3) being more than $1700 behind on her state tax bill, and, (4) having an outstanding arrest warrant in nearby Shawnee County. Wells lives and works in Douglass County.

Intelligent people know that Obama has been a disaster, but for some reason people are still voting democrat as proved on Wednesday in Jersey. Virginia is up next. Obama could be considered the worst President in history, but he is getting everything he wants so showing he is awful proves nothing.

[pgkdan]

All part of the plan! Obamacare was never designed to work. It was designed to make people think they were going to get something for nothing and then when it failed the rat’s could step in with a plan for single payer universal coverage and save the day. A single payer universal plan is the end game and all of the current b.s. is just part of the process to get us there.

The pressure will just build and build and build against this boondoggle until it gives.

I hope it gives, but I dont think the bureaucrats and politicians will allow it. Its too valuable to them.

Besides, Washington DC has made an artform of creating, then 'fixing' problems.

I'm afraid defunding is the only way to kill it.

[NEMDF]

Yes, and they should add a section for the widest section of “Number who are required to obtain health insurance”... or along that line, to show the true picture.

[NEMDF]

The next question will be, of those who “signed up”, how many will actually pay a premium for coverage... and then how many will pay it beyond the first month or two?

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

“The next question will be, of those who “signed up”, how many will actually pay a premium for coverage... and then how many will pay it beyond the first month or two?”

And the question after that will be, “Who is going to pay insurance premiums for those EBT card-holding, welfare recipients”?

Unfortunately, that answer is simple: We, the taxpayers.
