ObamaCare’s Back-End Problems Come Front and Center Posted by Mike Ricci | December 9, 2013 | Permalink ObamaCare is causing families widespread sticker shock,  scaring small businesses, and sending doctors into early retirement.  Things can’t get any worse, right? Think again. There is now the matter of whether the millions of people kicked off their plans will be able to sign up for new coverage in time, raising the possibility that “the number of uninsured Americans actually goes up.”  It’s being called a “worst-case scenario,” and it's sure to be a prime topic of discussion when Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius appears before an Energy & Commerce subcommittee on Wednesday, One big hurdle right now is the government website’s “back-end” – a word you’ll be hearing a lot in the coming days and weeks. The back-end is essentially the make-or-break part of the site where your application should be submitted to the insurance company so it can be processed and you can be covered.  As it turns out, however, about one in four applications have run into errors – and “some applications aren't getting through, so insurers don’t know to follow up with these folks.”  As a result, according to Bloomberg, “there’s no way to tell how many people who think they’ve signed up for health insurance through the U.S. exchange actually have.”  That’s pretty scary in and of itself, but as the AP notes, “consumers who think they've signed up for a health plan may find themselves unable to access their coverage come January.”  Even if you do end up enrolled in a plan, it may well be the wrong one, warns one health care expert: “‘You could get a bad plan or incorrect plan, a plan other than the plan you picked, a plan where the premium was wrong,’ said Tim Jost, a professor of law at Washington and Lee University.  ‘You could end up with a plan that didn’t cover all the members of your family.’” (The Fiscal Times) Alarm bells are already going off in Minnesota, which is having problems similar to those on the federal exchange: “‘At this late date, the health plan companies do not have most of the names or information on individuals who have enrolled through MNsure,’ Julie Brunner, executive director of the Minnesota Council of Health Plans wrote…  At first, people were able to submit multiple applications.  That means the insurers have multiple enrollment documents for the same individual. … Some child-only policies list dependents. Other enrollment documents omit vital information.” (MPR News) Clearly, these are no mere bugs.  Even if a Christmas miracle occurs and all this gets sorted out, the back-end problems don’t end there.  The website also needs to be able to transfer “billions of dollars in subsidies” to insurance companies – a function that hasn’t even been completed yet.  As a result, the administration now says it will allow insurance companies to estimate how much they need, and that’s what will be paid out – a workaround Speaker Boehner addressed on Thursday “The White House is going to give taxpayer dollars to the insurance companies and hand out these subsidies under a so-called ‘honor system.’  So, they’re essentially telling taxpayers: ‘just trust us.  You won’t lose a dime.’  I don’t know why any American would trust this government after all the broken promises they’ve already seen in ObamaCare.” Here’s hoping Secretary Sebelius can provide the American people with some answers on Wednesday.

WHEN WILL ANYTHING BE DONE TO PROSECUTE THIS CRIMINALITY?

SIGN THIS PETITION TO STOP OBAMA'S PURGING OF MILITARY OFFICERS WHO SOPPORT CONSTITUTION

ALERT: Barack Obama gutting U.S. Military, purging leadership! Take Action: Demand a Congressional Investigation!

American Conservative,

The Constitution established the federal government in part to "provide for the common defense."

Sadly, Barack Obama appears to be doing all he can to cripple our armed forces, leaving our country vulnerable.

Since Obama took office, a record number of top military leaders have been dismissed from their posts.

According to retired U.S. Navy Commander J.D. Gordon, Obama has fired a top officer every "8.8 days" on average - mostly for political reasons.

Icelanders Overthrow Government and Rewrite Constitution After Banking Fraud-No Word From US Media

Can you imagine participating in a protest outside the White House and forcing the entire U.S. government to resign? Can you imagine a group of randomly chosen private citizens rewriting the U.S. Constitution to include measures banning corporate fraud?

It seems incomprehensible in the U.S., but Icelanders did just that.  Icelanders forced their entire government to resign after a banking fraud scandal, overthrowing the ruling party and creating a citizen’s group tasked with writing a new constitution that offered a solution to prevent corporate greed from destroying the country.

The constitution of Iceland was scrapped and is being rewritten by private citizens; using a crowd-sourcing technique via social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter. These events have been going on since 2008, yet there’s been no word from the U.S. mainstream media about any of them. In fact, all of the events that unfolded were recorded by international journalists, overseas news bureaus, citizen journalists and bloggers. This has created current accusations of an intentional cover up of the story by mainstream U.S. news sources.

RedState Briefing 12/09/2013

Morning Briefing For December 9, 2013 >> Today's Sponsor 1.  You Will Be Made to Care A Christian baker in Colorado refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding. A judge is now ordering him to do so or face financial penalties. Surely there are plenty of bakers who would bake a cake for David Mullins and Charlie Craig, the gay men who wanted the cake. But they went to Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Denver, CO. When Phillips declined because of his religious beliefs, Mullins and Craig went to the ACLU, which in turn complained to the state that Phillips was discriminating.
