Obamacare wins? See you in 2014 (Husseincare tax 'a marathon not a sprint')
Politico ^ | 10/18/13 | DAVID NATHER

Obamacare wins!

Now, let’s talk about that website.

**SNIP**

They also have to find enough success stories — people who have gotten their health coverage and are pleased by the experience — to counteract the comments Republicans are circulating from people who are complaining that the premiums are too high. There are people who are successfully signing up, on the federal website as well as state-run marketplaces like the one in Minnesota. But they haven’t been able to overshadow the stories of people who can’t even log in.

“Since at the end of the day, Obamacare is a marathon and not a sprint, the president and Democrats are well positioned,” said Democratic strategist Chris Lehane. But the only way to make the marathon shorter, Lehane said, is for the administration to be effective in telling the success stories.

ObamaCare is the Warsaw Ghetto, while they prepare for the “Final Solution.”

It is all very well that some people may be able to now get coverage in their medical expenses, but for that one person covered better than before, ten people (or more) are going to suffer a decline in the amount of coverage, or sharp rise in the costs of whatever coverage they get, or both.

The quality of care delivered to EVERYBODY will decline, by the stress now placed on the system. There will be fewer professionals available to deliver those services, and now greater demand (read competition) for those services. When the scarcity of any commodity becomes a consideration, the price rises, or the delivery declines if the price is not allowed to rise.

And price controls on services delivered (but not on the premiums paid) are a big part of the “efficiencies” that the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010” was supposed to enforce. The other big part is the denial of services, regardless of the promises made, that are a de facto death sentence. Services delayed are services denied.

Mandates are not your friend. One size does not fit all.

...counteract the comments Republicans are circulating from people who are complaining that the premiums are too high....

Because there are NO objective journalists at Politico or the mainstream media who are interested in the facts.

Go ahead, Obamugabe enablers. You'll eventually be destroyed by the scorpion. By then it'll be too late for you.

Democrats are well positioned,” said Democratic strategist Chris Lehane.

Well positioned for an ass-kicking in '14.

Keep up the hallucinogenic drugs, Chris.

Love ya.

If the sign up problem continues anybody that doesn’t get Obamacare will have a viable excuse for not expecting to pay a penalty. If Obama dies not eliminate the individual mandate for the first year, the GOP will run on that.

Are any if these Medishare? We know people who have that and are happy with it. These probably don’t cover as much as many employer plans, but they are still pretty good.

This one is Medishare:

Medishare is probably the biggest of the three, and even has a PPO going, which I suppose makes it easier to use at the front end. There are pluses and minuses to each of them. We are thinking it through very carefully.
