So the O admin has admitted that the mess of CGI was bad and has now transferred the contract to Accenture..... So they will have to coordinate all that they do, in the manner that they have done with what has been done .... smells of success ;?/ not a federal problem, not a federal solution - but they will burn your money down while they struggle to figure that out. | ||

There are so few good lawyers, and the implications of lawyers swearing allegiance to the "BAR" and "Representing" clients and taking titles of nobility, Esquires, is just scary in America, sorry but the only good lawyer is Saul on Breaking Bad, and he wasn't for real... | ||

"We speak Spanglish" http://www.thewire.com/technology/2014/01/healthca regov-cyber-security/357068/#! Their Russian isn't any good either. From the article I posted ' We do not use machine translations' .....From YEARS of experience both in Insurance and Russian Language - I can assure you - they certainly do. hmmm - the cyrillic isn't making the leap from the tablet ;?/ (grrr) "You can be sure that you purchase quality health insurance at reasonable price, because all the conditions are clearly explained . Health insurance plans from private companies Insurance market Marketplace , all transactions are completely transparent. actual translation.... You Might be able to believe, that you could find characteristic medical insurance for legitimate cost - the rest of the page is just as problematic. | ||

Your 'home' is about to become a union shop location; and health care will be the Trojan Horse that it is allowed to set it's claws into private property. If you care for an older parent, or a disable child in home, and you file for reimbursement under the PPACA (and according to the law - you can) your house will be a 'union' shop if your state has an agreement for Home Health Practitioners and you benefit from the wage determination - ta-da; your house is now a union shop. If you bill as a home health care provider - you could now become a 'union' worker as well.

From http://www.nationalreview.com/article/356634/obama cares-hierarchy-privilege-mark-steyn " It’s a very strange law whose only defining characteristic is that no one who favors it wants to be bound by it." Congress and staff, Nevada AFL-CIO, etc. | ||

From the article : ' If any Republicans are trying to devise a health system that doesn’t involve employers, the IRS, and paperwork without end, they’re keeping awfully quiet about it.' nope - not quiet about it at all - BUT nobody wants to hear it, fund it, launch it, and take responsibility for it; they would rather just stick poke the fire that we have growing in front of us.... The pure polar opposite of this PPACA would work. ie 1)NO 10 essential benefits 2)Insurance tied to the individual NOT the job 3)Well tabulated and mitigated RISK considerations 4) NO Navigators 5) Carve out High Deductible and Catastrophic Plans 6) Cash Direct discounts and payment structures 7) Integration of Travel Med 8) Pairing DOWN of Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security 9) Liability BACK to the plantiff for false/ludicrious med lawsuits 10) the IRS OUT of health care 11) And the admission that we, as a society are mostly healthy - and not all on very of dying and needing a State Run Machine for every f'n breath we take. Nobody wants it - because it requires responsibility; which is NOT popular with government, and not something that I think is feasible with this Administration. | ||

And after dealing with the IRS for weeks --*man i HATE them---- The NON Lawfully present exemption. IF you are not in the US for 330 continuous days, you are NOT required to pay for the individual Mandate, nor purchase the PPACA 'insurance' from the Exchanges. You cannot be in the US, territories, or controlled sovereign land of the US. (so Grand Cayman is perfect  ) Those of you that are following along - and know about the 300+ Chinese Sovereign Entities on US Territorial soil - those are free gratis zones; ie live or work there - US Law does not apply there. Its a brave new world Komrade. Enjoy the show. In your down time, you might want to read the NDAA - another bill they passed to -you know - find out what was in it. | ||

As goes Aetna - so goes the rest of the market. http://tinyurl.com/lu3dubw This was done in Washington State 20 years ago. Aetna was the first to leave the state then; and 17 insures followed suit. And it will happen again - now on the national level - wait and see ; watch and learn. | ||

The title of the thread really needs to be The ACA is not working. President ignores ObamaCare horror stories as human, financial costs pile up As predicted, the Obama administration and many in the Democratic Party are trying to peddle the story that ObamaCare is now working because the healthcare.gov website is functioning better. But despite the questionable claims of easier access and more people enrolling in the ObamaCare exchanges, the ugly truth is the horror stories are piling up and, sooner or later, ObamaCare’s cheerleaders will have to confront the overwhelming evidence indicting them for repeatedly lying to the American people. As expected, President Obama used his State of the Union speech Tuesday to extol the virtues of ObamaCare, and also as expected, retold the story of one person positively affected by the program. But for each success there are countless failures. People’s Exhibit A: Josie Gracchi has breast cancer. Up until January 1st of this year she had insurance and was scheduled for a January 3rd biopsy and follow-up treatment at one the largest private cancer treatment centers in the world: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. But once 2014 arrived, her insurance was rolled into an ObamaCare health exchange. She now has no access to the surgeons she was working with, her biopsy and treatment have been postponed and she can’t find comparable doctors and surgeons through the ObamaCare website. She pleaded on television for help from the president, but has yet to receive an answer. People’s Exhibit B: Whitney Johnson of Texas is a new mom at 26 and suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. Her treatments were expensive, $40,000 every five weeks, but her insurance was paying for those treatments. Then came January 1, 2014 when the insurance was canceled; her insurance company is actually leaving the state of Texas because her plan no longer complies with ObamaCare. Whitney liked her plan, which President Obama and a cast of countless Democrats told her she’d be able to keep. She doesn’t know what she’ll do now. People’s Exhibit C: Gloria Cantor of Florida was told her insurance was being dropped because of ObamaCare. She has five brain tumors as well as tumors in her bones. Her insurance company told her that it can offer a different plan, but it will be more expensive. Another reason why “if you like your plan you can keep it” was labeled the “lie of the year” for 2013. People’s Exhibit D: Joan Carrico is a 60 year old registered nurse in Michigan suffering from cancer, now going on six years. She liked her insurance which was expensive but affordable. Then she was told by her insurance company that her best bet under ObamaCare would be a plan that would increase her premium anywhere from $4,500 to $6,500 per year, as well as a 10 percent federal tax. Remember when Obama told us families would save $2,500 a year under ObamaCare? Complete fiction. Question: What could be worse than being kicked off the health care plan you prefer when you need it most – when you’re suffering from a serious medical condition or debilitating disease? Answer: Having the government come after you in the form of the IRS following your decision to go public about your dire situation. People’s Exhibit E: Bill Elliot of South Carolina has stage four cancer and had insurance that covered most of his treatments. Then it was canceled because of ObamaCare. His doctor told him he is in full remission, his treatments have been working. He voted for Obama, in part because he believed the president’s words when he said “if you like your plan you can keep it.” But the new policy under ObamaCare would cost him $1,500 per month along with a $13,000 deductible, and it won’t even cover medicine or medical devices. Elliot went public about his dilemma, doing media interviews to bring attention to his situation. All of a sudden he received a letter from the IRS telling him they would be auditing him for tax year 2009. Moody’s Investor Service just downgraded its outlook for the U.S. health insurance industry from stable to negative because of serious concerns with the implementation of ObamaCare. Moody’s Senior Vice President Stephen Zaharuk said: "While we've had industry risks from regulatory changes on our radar for a while, the ongoing unstable and evolving environment is a key factor for our outlook change.” The cost of the empty promises and outright lies is enormous both in human and financial terms. What these people are experiencing is exactly what Moody’s Investor Service is so concerned about. ObamaCare is really NobamaCare. | ||

If your rep or sen voted for this thing with out reading it - vote them out. http://www.nationaljournal.com/daily/democrats-hea lth-care-brain-drain-20140130 these morons should be retired without pension - but of course when you write the rules (or they are applied capriciously ) it really doesn't affect them.... each will probably go to a nice cush lobbyist job - catering to 'navigating' the mess they created.... They should end up in a street somewhere - and Hillary can ask what it matters. | ||

And here they come; the idiots that see that 'Healthcare.gov' is not working, are indeed doubling down on full single payer - full exclusion of commercial insurance in the market place. Your life is now to be ruled by elected bureaucrats, crony lobbiests, inneffectual middle muddling apparatchik titular clerks, and of course - politically charged. http://www.fiercehealthpayer.com/story/oncologists -endorse-single-payer-system-universal-healthcare/ 2014-01-30 enjoy. | ||

Is there a new line of questions for tax filing this year? Asking whether or not you have healthcare? I guess that is how they get the fines.... if you don't have it? | ||
| Cityxslicker |
Most of your tax prep guys are already asking those questions - the fines go in for next year for coverage of THIS year. But your 'subsidies' are supposed to be coming already. more circus and balloons - pay no attention to the real issues of why our economy is failing; and how this beast is the death nails to the coffin | ||

The White House says that Obamacare software written in Belarus is untrue. I was worried for a minute but now I am relieved. I always thought the software was written by a crony of Moochelle.

ah - look at the bright side Komrade - you will have more time to tuck your family into bed, time for more hugs, and of course time to tell of the Mystery and Majesty of the O .... http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/07/opinion/krugman- health-work-lies.html?_r=0 from HHS release earlier 'Children who do not have a regular bedtime are more likely to suffer behavioural problems, according to new research. Erratic bedtimes can cause a similar effect to jet lag and the longer youngsters go without regular bedtimes, the greater the impact on their behaviour, experts found. They believe going to bed at different times could disrupt natural body rhythms and cause sleep deprivation. In turn, this undermines the way the brain matures and the ability to regulate some behaviours.' .... cue the ObamaCare Dream Police | ||

Government Health Care - with over forty years of data, performance, and evaluations.... still sub par. http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/30/health/veterans-dyin g-health-care-delays/ You think the gov't coming to your local hospital in a full take over for care continuum and reimbursement will do any better ? you are delusional at best stupid at the least. (yes - I said it; if your feelings are hurt, maybe you should learn some data and be less stupid) | ||

My nephew is having shoulder surgery on Monday for an injury he got while in the Army. He looked at having it done by the VA, but decided against it because his local hospital has a much better record on the outcomes of this surgery. Pretty sad that this is the best we do for our vets. Coming soon to a hospital near you. | ||

Military medicine nearly killed me back in 91. During the birth of my second child, they remembered to insert the epidural, but they forgot to turn it on. No issues with the birth of my first child, because prenatal and birth services were outsourced to a civilian facility. I know some folks have had good experiences with VA/military medicine. I never have. | ||

Why hasn't President Obama issued a new royal proclamation that "there shall be no poor and uninsured"? Easy peasy, problem solved! Clearly, it's Obama's fault. (Then he can have Michelle exiled because he has grown bored with her and wishes to remarry.. its good to be the king and to be able to issue these presidential proclamations!) | ||

Thanks for pointing out another screwjob by Obamacare , ff. Of course the O can just fit that by whim. He probably won't, unless he thinks it will cost the Party votes. |
