The ObamaCare ruse and numbers that lie
Posted by Diane Sori
"There will be additional challenges to implementing the law."
- Barack HUSSEIN Obama on announcing that ObamaCare met its enrollment deadline numbers
My, my how convenient is this...7.1 million Americans have signed up for ObamaCare by the March 31st deadline and they only needed 7 million to do so. So it seems they added in the .1 for extra good measure I guess.
Like we didn't know that would happen...just like Obama winning the election in 2012 before the first vote was even cast. The fix was in from day one...or in this case from the October 1st launch date of the anything but functioning HealthCare.gov enrollment website.
The needed numbers...covering enrollments in both private health care plans via HealthCare.gov and enrollments in the individual websites offered by 14 states and the District of Columbia...were 'supposedly' met with a website still NOT totally functioning and still without security or a payment portal to make your payments to because one hasn't been built yet...the needed numbers were met even though most enrolling went on Medicaid...the needed numbers were met by counting duplicates and incomplete applications...the needed numbers were met by...well you get my drift.
Now let's get this straight...as in the truth for a change...7.1 million Americans did NOT enroll in ObamaCare...7.1 million Americans might have signed onto the HealthCare.gov website but signing onto the site to peruse the exchanges does NOT a purchase make, especially when there's NO portal to make one's payments to. NO premiums paid means the individual will be in for a rude awakening when they go to the doctor and find out they do NOT have the insurance they thought they bought.
And so the joys that are the hallmark of the failure known as ObamaCare continue on.

And so the joys that are the hallmark of the failure known as ObamaCare continue on.
And let's NOT forget the 6+ million Americans who lost the
insurance they were happy with and could afford due to their policies
being cancelled for NO other reason than NOT meeting ObamaCare's
self-anointed ridiculous coverage standards. So even if the ObamaCare
released numbers were true...which we know they are NOT...that would
equate to an actual wash...meaning that for all intents and purposes a
breaking even has occurred for the number of those who lost their
insurance equates near to the number of those now purchasing
insurance...tit-for-tat and NOTHING more.
Now comes the details...trumpeting the first open enrollment period as a major success for NOT only meeting but surpassing the 7 million projected by the Congressional Budget Office needed to make ObamaCare viable, one has to wonder just how many of the previously uninsured actually are now insured...and true to form NO one knows at this time as the Obama administration will NOT release those numbers. But independent sources are claiming that only 27% of those who have secured a plan through the ObamaCare exchanges were previously uninsured. And only 53% of that 27% paid their first premium (I wonder how they did that when there's NO payment portal in operation) when 86% of those folks paid their premiums when previously insured. And this is a biggie...4.5 million previously uninsured have now signed up for Medicaid in states that expanded that program under ObamaCare...and guess who ultimately picks up that bill...we taxpayers do.
NOT good folks...NOT good at all.
Now
you know why Obama will NOT release
any numbers as jugging the books has become a fine art for this
administration...paper shifting of figures at its best...on par with
juggling the numbers of the monthly jobs figures in their favor.

And how will ObamaCare be sustained when a good percentage of those signing on to ObamaCare are Medicaid enrollees...meaning the government pays for their healthcare with our tax dollars and they pay NOTHING...as they happily become Democratic voters in the process. And what about the percentage of actual enrollees who are young and healthy being lower than the numbers needed to continue to fund this abomination.
So how pray tell can Jay Carney say words to the affect that “No one expected us to come back from the brink...but we have.” How
can his words have any modicum of truth to them...but hey...Carney's
words fit well into this administration's reputation for...dare I say
it...LIES!
LIES...LIES
told that on the last day open to enroll one million Americans
'suddenly' out of the blue decided en-masse to turn on their computers
and click onto HealthCare.gov to sign-up...LIES told about people
deciding at the last minute to dial into call centers...and LIES told
about folks at the last minute deciding to stand in long lines
at assistance sites all across the country. One million Americans
without health insurance just happened to do all this on the last
enrollment day...the exact one million number short just the day before.

Odd isn't it...sarcastically said.
And these out-and-out LIES and hiding of ObamaCare's true numbers
are the bane of the party loyal for why else are party members rushing
to propose fixes as they increasingly distance themselves from this
nightmare of an anything but health care plan and from the man whose
name it bears. And with the mid-term elections looming large, the
Democrats up for re-election know damn well that yesterday's bravado and
pats on the back are NOTHING but show, for the truth about the
sign-ups 
and
the cost factors involved in sustaining this nightmare NOT to mention
what it will do to the medical industry as a whole, still threatens to
overshadow any initial
victory Obama declares as ObamaCare remains unpopular across the board.
And knowing that the Republicans will keep hammering non-stop at all
the law’s inherent flaws, the Democrats know that the disaster that is
ObamaCare will help Republicans win back the Senate in a big way.

So hurry up November 4th for on that day both America and 'We the People' win and Barack HUSSEIN Obama finally loses...and as the saying goes,"payback is indeed a b*tch."

A triumphant President Barack Obama declared Tuesday his signature medical insurance overhaul a success, saying it has made America's health care system 'a lot better' in aRose Garden press conference.
Remember this woman? Click to refresh your memory about Obama's trustworthiness.
But buried in the 7.1 million enrollments he announced in a heavily staged appearance is a more unsettling reality.
Numbers from a
RAND Corporation study that has been kept under wraps suggest that
barely 858,000 previously uninsured Americans – nowhere near 7.1 million
– have paid for new policies and joined the ranks of the insured by Monday night.
Others were already insured, including millions who lost coverage when their existing policies were suddenly cancelled because they didn't meet Obamacare's strict minimum requirements.
The president took no questions from reporters,
but celebrated the end of a rocky six-month open-enrollment period by
taking pot shots at Republicans who have opposed the law from the
beginning as a government-run seizure of one-seventh of the U.S. economy.
'The debate over repealing this law is over,' he insisted. 'The Affordable Care Act is here to stay.' source - Daily Mail UK
First Class-Action Lawsuit Filed Against Obamacare Health Insurance Exchange
| NTEB News Desk |
Las Vegas (CBS LAS VEGAS) – Just
days after the deadline to enroll for insurance coverage through Nevada
Health Link, the first class-action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of
residents who say they signed up and paid their premiums – but were
never given coverage.
Attorney
Matthew Callister told the Review-Journal that about 40 people had
called saying they had also paid their insurance premiums but have no
coverage. As of last week, the Nevada Health Link had a “pends” list
totaling more than 10,500 people still without coverage.
Law firm Callister &
Associates filed the lawsuit on behalf of Larry Basich, who signed up
for state health insurance and paid premiums as far back as November,
but then was not covered following a Jan. 3 triple bypass procedure that saw his $400,000 in medical expenses passed between the wrong insurance companies, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court of Nevada on Tuesday alleges gross negligence and failure to do due diligence against the state of Nevada,
the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange (which runs Nevada Health
Link), and the company that won the contract to build the exchange,
Xerox.
Four companies had
responded with proposals to build the state’s Obamacare exchange, and
Xerox won in what state officials said was a standard process for the
national and state governments in reviewing bids
for technology contracts. Xerox won the bid after receiving the
highest-score on a state criteria list ranging from financial stability
to comparable contract experience.
