Obama seeks Christmas Miracle--otherwise more people lose coverage from Obamacare than gain it

More people will lose insurance than gain it due to Obamacare this year. To pretend otherwise, President Obama Friday used funny math that omitted millions of people who have lost insurance due to the new law.

WASHINGTON, December 22, 2013 - President Barack Obama must be expecting a Christmas miracle. Otherwise, Obamacare will cause more people to lose health care insurance this year than to gain it. He's dismantling Obamacare, jettisoning whole chunks as he tries to save his own creation at the expense of crippling it and creating public chaos. Not relying on divine intervention, Obama has his whole team scrambling to change rules, to re-interpret and to re-define how everything is done and measured. Insurance companies complain that he’s causing utter havoc with his constant changes (usually outside his legal authority) that will make the already-high Obamacare prices even worse within a year. But Obama is focused on January 1st, trying to prevent everyone from recognizing the truth: the “Affordable Care Act” has made insurance more expensive than ever, totally Un-Affordable.

A fourth of the state-level Obamacare programs have lost the heads of their programs. Oregon's program is sending out distress robocalls, telling those who tried to sign up that it's hopeless and to quit trying!

A lot of those people who lost their insurance are going to get sick and need that health care.

They will be facing terrible hospital bills and they will be screaming like raped apes. Their families will be listening as will their friends, Many of them will be black.

Obama my boy?? The Sh*t is about to hit the fan.

I do believe it was planned for the people to be thrown off their insurance so that they would panic and immediately sign up and create the first gathering for the roll-out.

But what do you do when people get a gut feeling that you are lying to them? And when they figure out that for them to sign up just might give them some financial headaches in the form of higher rates and potential identity theft problems.

Now Obama is resorting to enticing us into it through sexy ads.

Who wants to make serious decisions regarding healthcare insurance when nearly naked men are dancing suggestively in Christmas attire.

Does Obama think we buy insurance with our loins and hinter regions? Sex may sell a sports car but it never sell insurance.

The most despicable aspect of this entire power move is the thousands and thousands of Stage IV Cancer patients who have been traumatized by the cruelty of the Democrats in designing of ACA's rules in order to take away the very insurance policies which have been allowing aggressive treatment for their disease!

Patients and their families, right at Thanksgiving and Christmas, have been faced with the agony of knowing that lives may be shortened because of the votes of each Democrat who first voted for the Bill, and then voted against the 2010 Republican legislation to prevent the cancellations.

Each Democrat should be called to account for hurting even one brave American who has battled cancer and is now experiencing fear and hurt because of politicians cowardly and coercive actions on behalf of a leader who cares for nothing but power and forcing ideological change in America.

I've heard the plan was to screw this up so bad that we would demand a single payer system. But when the government screws up so bad, lies about it, admits that its screwed up and then makes a series of fumbling changes, who in their right mind would beg that very same government to take over the whole thing?

Liberals think everyone else is stupid and expect us not to see this. So who's really stupid?

Why not? They voted their regional parts.

You are correct. Everything about Obamacare, the website rollout, the ads, the “unexpected” problems, the quick fixes that make things worse is all pre-orchestrated.

When most Americans find themselves without health insurance and are taking to the streets with torches and pitchforks there will be one last fix and it has already been taking shape. The vast majority of new sign-ups are for... Medicaid.

The government, with the blessing of the Republicans in both houses will expand Medicaid to cover all. The sheeple will love it because it is all FREE!!!!!! Except, of course, for those who will be footing the bill through higher taxes but who cares about the 1% anyway?

Once we are all enrolled as a nation in Medicaid the government may now confiscate all that personal wealth and property to pay for the medical debts that were accumulated by the previously-living users.

Voila! The state now owns and controls everything. Lenin is frowning in Hell because he never thought of it.

(usually outside his legal authority)

For the Love of God, will someone tell me how he continually does that without any meaningful push back from ANY arm of our government? Are they all gutless or are they secretly happy to see the steady accumulation of power?

-— Are they all gutless or are they secretly happy to see the steady accumulation of power? -—

I’m not sure, but Mark Levin is convinced it’s the latter.

This job will be delegated to the media-convincing the public that fewer with coverage is more; higher costs are cheaper; higher deductibles means more coverage. I wish I was being sarcastic but if you watch MSNBC, that is exactly the message that is being promoted.

You have to remember that the “democrats” who voted FOR the bill were elected by “democrats”. I have no pity for those people. It’s really sad that millions will suffer because of dumb ass voters.

They’ve tried so many different ways but Obama Claus doesn’t have anything coming out of his bag for the American people this year.

You’d think the insurance companies would be consulting with constitutional scholars so they can learn just which “order” from Obama they have to obey.

Good thing we got this global warming going on. At least they won’t get sick by freezing.
