Obama said House Republicans' new budget proposal and coming attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act "should be familiar because it was their economic plan in the 2012 campaign. It was their economic plan in 2010."

Yes, that silly idea of not spending more money than you have. Not as responsible as spending a Trillion dollars you don't have every year.

Not that I'm happy about the R leadership either.

Real quote from a real friend who is self employed and just participated in the ACA (after many frustrating attempts to get through the broken site).


quote:


It did eventually "work" in ie, for values of work that include so many popups it triggered my spyware detector shit even after I continued to decline to add my name to 4 different lists to sell me "services unrelated to health care." However, I remain unable to access a provider directory to choose a primary care doc, and unable to find out whether the best bet plan that I ended up railroaded into will cover the doctor who has been the family doctor for over 30 years. Before tax, factoring in copayment a and routine care, this plan will run me 12% of my projected 2014 income (for a family of 3) which means that I have to find a way to increase my income by about 15% pretax this year to afford it. In the event that one of us needs major medical care, there is still a $6k deductible per person as far as I can tell, or $18k total. Meanwhile, it would have cost me about a thousand bucks in fines to be uninsured. For this to prove affordable, I have to hope that I, like, have in curable cancer this year. And all of this best case so that about 2% of Americans tops MAY have bought insurance this way. That is staggering and for a statistically insignificant number of people. Rest assured that if, in my first month, this does not cover at a reasonable rate, basic preventative care, I will drop this bullshit coverage like a hot potato.




This isn't some Internet anectdote. This is a real person who I really know.

Editorial from the San Diego Union.

On Obamacare, no one has less credibility than Obama
By U-T San Diego Editorial Board . April 2, 2014

On Tuesday, President Obama trumpeted reports that more than 7 million Americans had signed up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.

But during his “victory lap,” did the president say how many people had actually paid their premiums? Did he say how many of those who signed up were previously uninsured — the key target of the health law — as opposed to people who lost their coverage because of Obamacare?

No and no. This slippery lack of candor has been the president’s signature approach to his signature policy.

Most notably, he said if people liked their current health insurance, ACA would let them keep it. As hundreds of thousands of Californians found out, that’s not true.

Obama said you could keep your doctor, too. Now he admits that wasn’t true.

He said ACA would save the average family $2,500 a year. Now that claim has magically disappeared — because it’s obviously untrue.

The whoppers have never stopped. This year, the president has repeatedly said that health coverage available to single people costs no more than their cellphone bills. Bunk. Individuals’ cellphone bills average $70-$80 a month, far less than insurance for singles.

That wasn’t a “victory lap.” It was propaganda from a politician. When it comes to Obamacare, no one has less credibility than President Obama.

Inmates getting coverage under ObamaCare, as states shift cost to feds

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration often touts that people with pre-existing conditions and countless others can now get covered under ObamaCare. But there's another group that's starting to benefit from the law -- prison inmates.

Cash-strapped state and local prisons increasingly are using the Affordable Care Act to pay for their inmates' medical costs, taking advantage of a little-known provision that lets them shift some of those expenses to the federal government.

Ohio, Illinois and Iowa are among the states trying to offload the rising costs of health care – which include mental health programs – by enrolling inmates into a new expanded Medicaid program when they get sick.

But it doesn't stop there. The states also are working to enroll them even before they're released from prison, so they have coverage when they get out.

Currently, 26 states and the District of Columbia are proceeding with a Medicaid expansion which allows them to extend medical coverage to single and childless adults. Jail operators in at least a half-dozen of those states are then, using that criteria, extending coverage to inmates. The shift means the federal government would pay some emergency costs that used to be entirely covered by the states and counties -- plus, inmates are started to get coverage for when they leave.


LOFL

Can Obamacase be any worse?

My employer is now offering ACA insurance to indigents who do not qualify for the "City Contract" currently in force for this area.
Yes, we (my employer) pays the premiums for these individuals & then we claim $xxxxx for the treatment/care we provide.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner....
(My employer has it's own insurance department now - we make more from claims on the insurance we provide and pay for than if we just treated the uninsured and sucked up the non-claimable costs)
Guess who foots the bill for this....

First, full disclosure. I am not a Fan of John Kerry. Rather dislike the fellow, and I can give the reasons if anyone cares.

I will say he does not seem to have been the kind of Commanding Officer that got his men killed seeking glory and fame. Also he has married a couple of really rich women, and isn't that a dream of many men?

That said, It's kind of amazing. I thought the State Dept. under Hillary and the Executive Branch of this regime had pretty much driven American credibility and respect as low as it could go.

Boy, was I wrong.

next step
I know we have some brave and innovative corporate heads here - that have a command of the helm of their business or maybe the board of a business.

If you want out of this mess. There is a set method of ways to do it. And legally with in the scope of the law - as it is written.... however who knows how they will interpret the law next week... or even tomorrow.

(it is as capricious and malevolent as it gets - and indeed - I don't know why we are not Revolting over it either)

My methods work, I am currently talking to a local conglomerate in S Korea about implementing them there as a market test.

there is infinitely more business flexibility and assumptions of theories here. The balloon is going up - details as it happens.

So he calls Ryan's budget a stinkburger? What do you call Barry's Budgets that didn't get a single vote in the Senate?

Naturally he says this to a bunch of college kids who aren't aware of current events, although would Regime Stenographers like David Gregory or Brian Williams make note of it either?

Just a partial recap.

If you gave Barry a lot of money, he gave you a wavier for Obamacare. I am not aware of anyone getting a wavier that did not give a lot of money to Barry. If the next President doesn't have that little point investigated ( because THIS one never will ) I will be very disappointed.

I plan on being very disappointed. Barry is giving me plenty of practice.

This won't surprise anyone who noticed that Obama told his minions to deal with it, went to have a smoke, watch tv, and get ready for the Important part of his job. Going to Vegas to ask for larger bribes. ( while people died, and Flag officers were relieved of duty for trying to do their duty.....
