Sebelius: No more ObamaCare delays

Published December 31, 2013 FoxNews.com

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, on the eve of the ObamaCare launch, told Fox News she doesn't anticipate any more delays for the health care law.

The secretary voiced confidence in the law as her department announced what it claimed was a "surge" in enrollment. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said Tuesday that more than 2.1 million people have enrolled through the federal- and state-run marketplaces.

"I'm thrilled that we're going to have millions of people for the first time that have health security, and it should be a great New Year for lots of families across America," Sebelius told Fox News in an exclusive interview, as she left a downtown D.C. restaurant Tuesday afternoon.

Sebelius acknowledged there could continue to be hiccups going into 2014. "There always are," she said. "People change plans every year."

But she predicted a relatively smooth transition and said she doesn't see more delays in the future.

The administration, though, has announced a string of delays and exemptions over the last several weeks. Among the changes, the administration recently announced it would let people whose health care policies were canceled under ObamaCare buy bare-bones "catastrophic coverage" plans which would have otherwise been unavailable.

No more delays. An apocalyptic tone for the obamacare obamaincarnation of desolation.

Revelation 10

5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Ever notice the parallel between the "thousands of pages of obamacare that noone read (but had to pass it to know what was in it)" and the "whoso readeth, let him understand" WRT the obam... abomination of desolation?

1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Flee fornication indeed. Obamacare is penetration by beast.gov.

Since it changes every day, how can anybody define it or keep score? The 15,000 new attorneys and accountants the IRS hired for this aren’t nearly enough...Obamacare has become the amoeba that engulfed the healthcare industry.

To use the official insurance industry definition, "enrolled" means all paper work completed and approved and the first month's premium has been paid.

I doubt that's what Kathy meant.

Be careful there Bob. Hugh difference between Medicaid, which is what you meant and Mediccare, which is what you wrote.

Even if 2.1 million sighed up for the first time, it would still mean more people lost their insurance they were told they could keep, based on what I have seen.

Last-minute surge pushes Obamacare sign-ups to 1.1 million
Alastair Jamieson, NBC News

A last-minute surge took the number of online sign-ups for President Barack Obama’s signature health coverage to 1.1 million, federal officials said early Sunday.

What "Surge"? ObamaCare Enrollments Remain Dangerously Below 60 Percent Of Target
Forbes
12/30/2013 @ 12:15PM

When I was in school, 60 percent was an “F.”

ObamaCare’s Exchanges are in even worse shape than those lame figures suggest.

The administration had hoped to enroll 3.3 million paying customers by the end of the year, which would bring them 47 percent of the way toward their goal of enrolling 7 million paying customers by March 31. Those 2 million “sign-ups” are not paying customers yet, though the administration would like to give the impression that they are “enrollees.” Anecdotal reports suggest that only 5-15 percent of sign-ups have actually paid their first premium and are in fact enrolled.

At this point, it seems impossible for the Obama administration to meet its target of 7 million paying customers by March 31. Doing so would require them to enroll more than 5 million paying customers in the next three months, instead of just 3.7 million.

The secretary voiced confidence in the law as her department announced what it claimed was a “surge” in enrollment.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Translation:

” Go to sleep you stupid American citizens, while we nationalize our health care system, regulate the salaries of doctors , nurses and med techs,and set up our death panels to ration health care.”

All of these failures are quite purposeful, to destroy the health insurance industry, to destroy US exceptionalism in health care, and to destroy the middle class, rtedistribute wealth to racial and ethnic minorities, who according to Obama were allegedly exploited to make America, its historic justice.”

THIS IS FASCISM FOLKS.

They always already had health care.

Federal law required every hospital in the country to treat a person in an emergency, regardless of their health care status.

Ask any large city about how many gang members they patch up every night to go out & repeat their bad behavior.

Millions for the first time has to be a lie. They have had 2.2 million sign up, (a dubious claim), where most get dumped into Medicaid, and, 5.5 million lost their individual health insurance due to zerOcare.
