By five, I mean, literally, five. Here’s an image from today’s email from the White House.
From a communications perspective, this is a pretty stupid email. Everyone who has been paying attention knows that Healthcare.gov is a gigantic mess, and most people who have logged onto it have not been able to buy insurance through it. Everyone also knows that the White House and HHS have been hiding the ball on Obamacare’s enrollment numbers from the beginning. How may have enrolled? That’s for them to not really know and for you certainly not to find out.
So, in effect, the first hard number that the White House releases is five.
One of the five highlights another idiotic aspect of Obamacare.
It covers all sorts of stuff! If you can afford it.
Psst — nobody tell Daniel that Obamacare forces him to pay for services that he, as a man, could never possibly use! Unless he wants to get himself on the pill, anyway. Does the bronze plan cover sex changes?
The fact is, Daniel and all other Americans have been forced into the health insurance high-risk pool regardless of their age or health status. As a young man, Daniel is either getting subsidized through someone else’s policy and taxes, or he is subsidizing others by paying his own way. And the even better news is, Daniel now has to buy this insurance or face off against the IRS.
Awesome!
With a bit of investigative work, you could find out. I bet every single one is another T bone.
Daniel will be shocked when he discovers that he’s now eligible for “free drug treatment” and not “free drugs”.
The phoniness continues.
They should be ashamed. But like mmost MARXISTS they could care less.
I wonder if a Chad H is one of the five?
I wonder if Daniel will ever ponder...whose paying that other $200/month for me?
First of all, these people are “made up”. Second, if there really is a “Daniel” college student. He won’t be a college student forever. Then let’s see how happy he is.
... What makes you think these statements are from real people? Obama and his shills are propagandists and trained professional liars
Where's Julia???
That’s the point. T bone wasn’t a real person. Just another one of Corey Booker’s imaginary friends.
My gosh, this administration is pathetic and none of them has a clue as to how bad this looks for them. It would be better to not even list these names.
Icing on the cake, Gibbs is out there distancing himself and MSM can’t figure out how to rescue their guy without losing credibility with the low infoers.
They seemed to lose all hope and became catatonic appearing when they realized even Gibbs couldn’t spin it.
Once again, we were told the point of this law was to “insure the uninsured.” Yet one example after another, we’re hearing about people who already had insurance simply signing up to get a taxpayer-funded discount.
If that had been the pitch from the beginning, who in the public would have supported this? “We’re going to take money from some folks and use it to give some other folks cash back on their insurance costs!” Cue the violins...
If one is named “Julia”, I guess we’ll know.
The true premium that the exchange policy now offers for a 22-year-old non-smoker with a $3,000 annual deductible is $270 a month, which is about triple what an individual policy now costs before Obamacare take effect.
His premium may have gone down. But what about his deductible and copay? Those could easily overwhelm any savings in premiums with one visit to the ER.
This pure Boo Chit.
There is no Part Time idiot, at the age of 22, who is going to basically pay another car payment.
Further, he didn’t have catastrophic insurance before. That is still another expensive option.
He works (2) two part time jobs and is now so gleeful he has $270 less each month to spend on chicks and drinks?
Don’t think so.
******************************************
The Lie from Salt Lake City? Gimme a break. A family of (5) five now has complete coverage for only $850?
And! And! He qualifies for subsidies and will pay some vague amount less? LOL
Fk me.
**************************************
Kathy and her husband will pay $260? Is that for both or each?
Why is her deductible so much less than the 22 year old above. His is $3,000 and pays only $10 more per month but, but, Kathy and her husband will only have a $1,500 deductible?
A $2,500 delta.
Oh and as far I know, Dental Care, for adults isn’t a part of ObamaCare but, a quick Google shows it may be purchased separately in some states? Maybe?
Bunk
Kansas is right next to Missouri. So show me.
********************************************
Tracy of Pennsylvania couldn’t afford Health Insurance until October 1???
She only spent 90 seconds applying? ROTFLMAO!!!!!!?????
You can’t apply for anything online that only takes 90 seconds and certainly not for something so overwhelming as this bogus program.
There is too much information you have to give that makes 90 seconds not just improbable but impossible.
Stupid and a blatant lie.
Maybe she lives in Missouri.
**************************************
They did save the best for last though.
Butch, in Little Rock, pays $$1,069 for he and his wife under his private plan? Really? It says he’s retired so I assume he’s over 60. I don’t know anyone who pays only $1,069 for a couple at that age but, that really isn’t the point.
The math doesn’t add up, erh subtract or...hell, I can’t figure it out.
Apparently, he is going to save $13,000 per year????
How in the Fk is that going to happen?
He currently pays $12,828 per year for insurance and will now save $13,000 per year?
Is getting a check back for $172 bucks each year and still get health insurance?
Bizarro World and utter Balderdash.
