On Monday, at the Rose Garden, as the President was endlessly talking about his signature program, Obamacare, a young woman standing behind him nearly fainted. The victim of the long winded President, Karmel Allison, has diabetes and is 20 weeks pregnant. It is mind boggling that the White House would force someone in her condition to stand and endure an Obama speech. Unfortunately, for the President, his entire speech was overshadowed by the drama on stage. Instead of a well choreographed presentation of the wonderful aspects of Obamacare it was another disaster for this ill fated program.
In fact, the staging strategy for the President's speech was as well planned as the Obamacare roll out. It has been over three weeks into Obamacare and Americans still do not know how many enrollees have successfully navigated this glitch riddled website. While many Americans have wasted an entire day trying to log on to the website, others have been placed on hold for hours on the program's hotline.
Some experts have called for the entire website to be scrapped, while others have predicted that millions of lines of code will have to be replaced.
Needless to say, this debacle demonstrates once again that government is incapable of operating any program efficiently. The Obama administration successfully passed the Affordable Care Act in March of 2010, squeaking out a narrow, partisan victory in Congress. Knowing that so many Americans were uncomfortable with Obamacare, it would have made sense for the administration to present a flawless launch for the program on October 1. Instead, despite over 42 months of preparation, the roll out has been a nightmare. In fact, contractors have now admitted that the final testing for the site only began in mid-September. Once that failed, the President should have been notified immediately and the program's launch should have been delayed. Instead, Obama was supposedly shielded from the truth and the launch date was not changed.
This program has been placed under the umbrella of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Many in Congress are demanding answers from HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, while others, such as Congressman John Fleming (R-LA) are calling for her resignation. After first ducking Congress, Sebelius has finally agreed to appear next week for what is surely going to be a confrontational exchange.
It is so bad that Democrats and the White House and now hinting that a delay in the individual mandate will be forthcoming. This is what Republicans were asking for in the budget debate, but the President refused the supposedly outrageous demand. Ironically, Democrats may eventually have to relent to the delay after realizing that Americans cannot be penalized for not buying health insurance on an exchange that does not work.
It is such a disaster that, after three weeks, New York, among other states, can boast almost no enrollees. In other regions of the country, such as Louisiana, states are providing consumers very few, if any, health insurance options. The President claimed his plan would offer lower prices and plenty of options for Americans. In reality, Americans are losing healthcare coverage due to Obamacare, premiums are rising rapidly and options are dwindling.
In just two states, Florida and California, 460,000 people who buy their own insurance have been dropped by their providers. These unfortunate souls will be forced to use healthcare exchanges that do not work.
Clearly, in the first few weeks of Obamacare, the President's program has created more uninsured Americans. It is no surprise that experts predict that 30 million Americans will still be uninsured by 2016.
So, a program that will cost trillions of dollars, takeover our health care industry, and drive private insurers out of business will ultimately fail in its basic mission to provide insurance to the uninsured.
No wonder Ms. Allison fainted on Monday. In the uncertain days ahead, Obamacare will cast a fainting spell on untold millions of victims.
people faint because the big narcissist always uses up all of the oxygen in whatever room he is in.
She did not faint. One does not recover from a faint by swooning. The action is blood draining from one’s head. A look from Osama Obama cannot cure that. It can only be fixed by gravity to the head in relation to the body, getting blood back into the head.
She may have dozed off. Perhaps she was trying to get him to shut up. Perhaps it was an act.
The kids here watched it on ‘Red Eye’ who were making fun of the idea that it was staged. The fainter (of the kids, often taking a dive while in Church), said, just as I was about to, ‘no, you don’t recover from a faint by being steadied by someone’.
No sale.
Lots of people probably faint when they see the premiums and the deductibles — if they can make it that far on healthcare.gov.
If the original 30 million unisured were given a HSA of $1 million each, the cost would have been “only” $30 million - far less than the marxist nightmare we have now.
You mean like feigning? A feigning spell, a particular kind of Obama shenanigan?
Is he sure about that? Yes, mostly Medicaid, but still...
ALBANY, N.Y. — Nearly 174,000 New Yorkers have applied for health insurance through the state's new exchange, and more than 37,000 have fully enrolled, the state Health Department said.Nearly two-thirds of the new enrollees registered for Medicaid because of their income levels; New York has more than 5 million people on Medicaid. The rest of the new enrollees, more than 13,000, picked private insurance, the Health Department said.
I do believe I read that the feigning “fainter’s” husband profited from the Obamacare web-site bad build. More Obama crony capitalism in action.

Obamas Fainting Women Travelling Circus Act
Obama really is psychotic.
She and her husband live in San Diego. Who’s dime flew them to the Rose Garden and why?
You mean like that guy that fainted on Glenn Becks’ old Fox TV show? He hit the ground and there was no stopping him.
Amazing, with all those other people standing behind Obama, that the one standing closest to him Swooned.
Being Diabetic and being Pregnant is not something to be taken lightly. The Woman should not have been traveling, much less standing behind a Communist Instigator making a Propaganda Speech.
Chalk one up for the Useful Idiots. Maybe she was just on the way to the Planned Parenthood Clinic. After all, according to a certain ditzy Democrat Woman running for the Governorship in Texas, the Girl was barely Pregnant anyway.
“as the President was endlessly talking about his signature program, Obamacare, a young woman standing behind him nearly fainted.”
I’m kinda like that, too, except with me it’s the dry heaves.
Affordable Care Act of 2010. Estate recovery will be forced on millions of people who might have otherwise gone without insurance. Why? Because the plan is that millions more Americans have health insurance. That would be accomplished by expanding Medicaid and implementing premium assistance (subsidies). When a person is found to be eligible for Medicaid, they will be automatically enrolled into their state's Medicaid program. Those forced into Medicaid will, due to the federal law, also be forced into estate recovery. Their estates will be partly or fully taken over by the federal or state government when they die
Surprisingly the kids over on the Daily KOS are catching up with this idea pretty quickly... Medicaid Estate Recovery + ACA: Unintended Consequences?
Hey IDIOT WRITERS....it was a FAKE FAINT!!
It didn’t look to me like either that she fainted
I think you’re off by a few zeros.
