An “arrest record” should have absolutely nothing to do with finding a job. I think they meant “conviction record” in this case.
The “Free Lunch” crowd getting something for nothing, and that is reported as a good result. Work is for suckers!
“I haven’t seen any news articles about young healthy people signing up for Obamacare. I suspect virtually all of the 51,000 early adopters are old, sick, and qualify for either a 100% Obama subsidy or Medicaid. “
Judging by the healthcare.gov facebook page, it does appear the only people happy and signing up are those with heavy or entire premium covered by subsidies. If you are a productive citizen, this system screws you hard. I figure the economy will surely be tanked by this time next year with everyone’s discretionary income swallowed up by this beast. But hey, I’m just a bible toting, gun carrying, greedy conservative so what do I know.
Just heard a caller into talk radio say that her grandson (who is an optometrist) said that even eye doctors are required to weigh you and ask certain questions (having nothing to do with your eyes) because of obamao-”care” requirements.
Ah, so all is proceeding exactly according to plan.
Honest working people better stock up on KY (by the quart), the fun is just beginning.
BC keeps sending me letters, telling me I am grandfathered in and don't have to do anything to keep my plan, just keep paying the premiums. But what my premiums will be in January never seems to make it into the letters. I spent an hour on the phone with them, being shuttled from one person to the next (they were all very polite) until one said that BC probably wouldn't decide on my premium until about 3 weeks before my policy renewal date.
My wife & I are already planning on how we are going to handle not having insurance. Talked to doctors about cash terms. The hospital is a joke. They give gobs of charity to "the needy" (I know the scoop on a lot of those around here who are getting free care via charity - a lot of them ought to be kicked out on their asses, IMO). But the hospital is unwavering in their dealings with those of us who have insurance plans with less than optimal coverage. The wife and I each have a $5k deductible. They won't cut us 1¢ of slack on our bills.
Another nice thing for those of us not on charity. The hospital now makes automated collection calls 20 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE BILL. I was steamed. I called them and told the lady that 30 days is standard everywhere, including my customers and suppliers. I told her that if I got another one before a bill was 30 days, I would pay them $5 a week until hell freezes over. Really set me off.
“...As of Wednesday, about 25 people enrolled for health insurance with the help of certified in-patient “navigators” at the Cowlitz Family Health Center’s five locations and 14 partner locations....”
********************************************************************
Let’s see, 19 “locations” (5 + 14) with God knows how many taxpayer funded “navigators” per location has managed to sign up 25 people in the first 1 1/2 weeks. Highly efficient operation these progressives have built—something proudly to write home to Mama about.
And of these 25 “successes”, they cite two examples—both of whom are unemployed (apparently long-term and likely permanent) and who will be paying ZERO for their insurance and “co-payments”.
Where are the “healthy, young and productive” who the progressives said would be (stupidly) signing up for Obamacare to “pay the freight”? You can bet your boots that if they existed the mainstream media would be parading them before the nation in a victory parade. I guess that while they are “low information” enough to vote for nit-wits such as Obama they are not stupid enough to sign up for something that will not benefit them.
What have Obama and his progressive minions wrought for our nation?
Gomert on Beck’s show now, saying that Boehner is now in a meeting with Obama, and is “giving up on 98-99% of Obamacare, so they [RINOs] can say that they got something from Obama.”

Sure if you qualify for Medicaid and get your health care for free what’s not to like. However I’m sure there are many in Washington who are getting sticker shock from the rate increases.
As far as the WA state website goes, it was AFU the first couple days. It is better than the federal site, because you can shop rates without fully registering. The first couple days, no matter what you put in for a family configuration, you got a quote for a different random family. That seems to be fixed.
What I wonder about is this subsidized co-pay program the out of work drug counselor is getting. So on top of free premiums this guy has no co-pays? What about deductibles? For anybody getting stuck paying for their care the premiums are just the beginning of their pain. The deductibles are going to crush people too.
