Think they’re panicking now? Wait until they realize that the young, healthy people who plan on enrolling has already plateaued.
Doctor’s receptionist: You got cash, money order, or major credit card?
Obamacare enrollee: I got my BamaConnect Insurance card here.
Receptionist: That and 4 bucks will get you a small one at Starbucks. Cash or credit up front.
Enrollee: I spent all my money on the premium to get this card.
Receptionist: Well, now you’re sick and broke, but wiser for the experience. I can help the next person.
I sincerely doubt that. Obama will continue to spend hundreds of millions to "promote" Obamacare, and he'll simply raid the Treasury (with the help of the GOP) to prop it up financially.
Making exemptions for expediency, political cover, and by fiat is the surest way to create universal contempt and non- compliance for almost any law.
So, the people who already bought Obamacare paid more for the privilege? Santa got my letter!
Emperor Obama makes up and ignores laws as he sees fit.
Every republican candidate next year needs to run on a promise to repeal the law.
While millions lose insurance, the Obama’s spend taxpayers’ millions vacationing in the Hawaiian sun.
Obama stepped in it. And each time he tries to step out of it he steps in it again.
Time for a War or a Waco or some poor innocent ‘Gay’ victim or.... anything to distract us.
Too bad they are not in full Hari-Kari mode. I would buy them the katanas.
On Fox last night (I think it was the Kelly Files) an insurance analyst said he examined the “hardship insurance” and it was the worst of both worlds: it was not less costly than the Bronze plans, and placed the policy holder into a “hardship pool”, not the standard pool.
Same rubber duckie, different color.
Just day before yesterday, at the good-ol-boys round table salon and tea & crumpets tête-à-tête in our local country propane and hay store, we were reviewing possible future scenarios regarding the devolution of obamacare and obama. I posited the following:
1. That if the Republicans would just twiddle their thumbs pretty much about everything for next 3-4 months, obamacare would become so unraveled that the Democrats would be forced to beg the Republicans to save them, and that regardless of any legislative changes that might thereby result in a bipartisan fashion, obama would veto it all, preferring to see the complete destruction of the medical system and the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, as well as the total destruction of the Democrat Party for at least two generations, rather than admit he was wrong about something.
2. That it was highly likely that obama would soon totally panic over the chaos wrought by obamacare and descend into utter lawlessness by attempting to govern completely by diktat, and that therefore there was also a reasonable probability that obama’s attempted dictatorship would eventually become so severe that Congress would be forced to initiate impeachment.
It would appear that this second prediction is now starting to come true.
First of all, why would insurance companies break the law just because obama asks them to?
Second, all those people who already bought expensive insurance on obamacare can simply stop paying premiums. They’ll still be covered for 90 days.
**White House in ‘Full Panic Mode’ Over Obamacare**
With good reason! Read this excellent analogy, ObamaFlowers, that I got in an email and then pass it on.
Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers, My name is Trina. How can I help you?
(Customer) Hello, I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number.
(Receptionist) Yes, I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November – or maybe December. But I can help you.
(Customer) Thanks, I ordered a “Spring Bouquet” for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife.
(Receptionist Interrupting) Sir, “Spring Bouquets” do not meet our minimum standards, I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses.
(Customer) But I have always ordered “Spring Bouquets”, done it for years, my wife likes them.
(Receptionist) Roses are better, sir. I am sure your wife will love them.
(Customer) Well, how much are they?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package.
(Customer) What’s the difference?
(Receptionist) 6, 12,18 or 24 Red Roses.
(Customer) The Silver package may be okay, how much is it?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, what is you monthly income?
(Customer) What does that have to do with anything?
(Receptionist) I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out of pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid department.
(Customer) FlowerAid?
(Receptionist) Yes, Flowers are a Right, everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can’t afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge.
(Customer) Who said they were a Right?
(Receptionist) Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it Constitutional.
(Customer) Whoa.....I don’t remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding Flowers as a Right.
(Receptionist) It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but ObamaFlowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a “Tax”. Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a Right.
(Customer) I don’t believe this...
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is you monthly income sir?
(Customer) Forget it, I think I will forgo the flowers this year.
(Receptionist) In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income.
(Customer) Why?
(Receptionist) To determine what your ‘non-participation’ cost would be.
(Customer) WHAT? Your can’t charge me for NOT buying flowers!
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It’s $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income.....
(Customer)interrupting) This is ridiculous, I’ll pay the $9.50..
(Receptionist) Sir, it is the $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater.
(Customer) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a ripoff!!
(Receptionist) Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%.
(Customer) Look, I’m going to call my Congressman to find out what’s going on here. This is ridiculous. I’m not going to pay it.
(Receptionist) Sorry to hear that sir, that’s why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone your are using.
(Customer) Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING?
(Receptionist) So they get your GPS coordinates sir
(Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door)
(Receptionist) That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers, have a nice day...and God Bless America.
How many time must socialism fail before the progressives understand it?.
My Ladyfriend has been trying to get her application processed for the past 3 days. I don’t like to feed the beast but she needs insurance and makes abut 12,000 a year so...thought she might get some help. But, no luck....
The wheels are off the bus.
Was a law not passed and to change that law and dates does it not have to go back through the House and Senate? Is this not impeachable not to mention the first law suit the whole obamacare thing caves in a real court of laws?
Unless somebody made Obama king and I missed it somebody explain how any of this stands and is real law now.
Apologies to Pee Wee for the analogy. At least Pee Wee brought a smile to my face.
No mention of impeachment or unlawful usurpation of the legislatures power by the executive.
