You May Already Be an ObamaCare Enrollee
Frontpage ^ | November 11, 2013 | By Daniel Greenfield

Good news, you may already be an ObamaCare enrollee. The number of people who have actually bought an ObamaCare plan is slightly lower than the number of people who voted for the Communist Party candidate for president.

(The Communist Party endorsed Obama. But the Socialist Workers Party, Socialist Equality Party, Socialist Party USA, Green Party and Party of Socialism and Liberation all ran candidates. 3 out of 5 of them were even black. And they performed about as well as ObamaCare.)

But Obama has an answer. He’s just going to expand the narrow-minded definition of enrolled beyond its parochial confines.

Why should “enrolled” be limited to someone who bought health insurance? Why not include people who tried to buy health insurance or people who might one day buy it?

I have a former scrapped aircraft carrier sitting in my eBay shopping cart. I haven’t found the 2 billion dollars to pay for it yet, but it still counts.

I wish I had all of the guns and ammo I have put in internet shopping carts in the past 5 years.

If you do not agree that ObamaCare is a resounding success, you hate health care.

50,000 enrollees.

And Stalin’s wheat fields produced record harvests of billions of bushels, every year.

I LOVE the picture they featured on this Front Page article - it’s that bizarre one where Obama can’t figure out how to go through a gate with an open umbrella...priceless!

Maybe just a chip malfunction.

   As though in confirmation of this, a trumpet call floated from the telescreen just above their heads. However, it was not the proclamation of a military victory this time, but merely an announcement from the Ministry of Plenty.

   'Comrades!' cried an eager youthful voice. 'Attention, comrades! We have glorious news for you. We have won the battle for production! Returns now completed of the output of all classes of consumption goods show that the standard of living has risen by no less than 20 per cent over the past year.


from 1984 by George Orwell

and yes comrade (in case they're listening) - Forward!

I think that the insurers might have a more narrow definition of "enrolled".

Remembering that book makes me angry. It’s going to come here soon.

Normal socialist response: if the facts don’t support your conclusion, then change the facts.

This sounds like a typical British practice of "stacking" patients in ambulances so as to not bust their ER waiting time metric:

Patients facing eight-hour waits in ambulances outside A&E departments

An investigation by The Sunday Telegraph shows that the number of patients forced to wait at least two hours parked outside A&E has risen by two thirds in just one year.

(snip)

Last year this newspaper revealed that Monitor, the regulator of NHS foundation trusts, had warned hospitals not to keep patients in ambulances in order to comply with the government target of treating all patients admitted to A&E within four hours.

Monitor said that hospitals who used the technique – known as “stacking” – risked “serious implications” for their patients and tied down ambulances needed to respond to emergencies.

Although the practice began under Labour, the extent of this has risen sharply under the Coalition. Local newspapers have found instances of as many as 14 ambulances queuing up outside a hospital A&E department.

In a letter to trusts last year, Monitor specifically warned hospitals against “gaming to meet health care targets”. “We would encourage all trusts to ensure that such practices are not taking place at your hospitals,” the regulator’s letter read. “Evidence of foundation trusts carrying out these practices would be taken very seriously by Monitor.”

Oh Yeah...

Wasn't it something like 500,000,000 ?

The trouble with unsupported Obamarx guesses, it is always, well.. extreme?
