It takes an army: Tens of thousands of workers roll out Obamacare
Economic Times/ Reuters ^ | 21 June 2013

Call them Obamacare's army. From the chief actuary at the California health insurance exchange that President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law established to the legions of call center staffers who will help people trying to buy insurance through such state exchanges, the number of people working to implement "Obamacare" has reached the tens of thousands, a Reuters analysis has found.

But the precise size of this workforce is shrouded in secrecy. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) did not reply to a question asking how many people it has hired or assigned to implement healthcare reform, and companies with government contracts worth tens of millions of dollars are similarly tight-lipped.

Just another money scam by unions to get cushy jobs that they can then harass conservatives with. IRS redux.

The House could vote tonight to restrict funding it. They know Obama would use EOs and shift funds to it. This would create a showdown between the House and the White House. They don’t want to fight.

As for Romney, he has a well-documented history of going back on his promises. He’s a known liar without shame. His goal was to get the political power and then excuse himself from whatever promises he made on the campaign trail.

(Romney) promised to repeal 0bamacare.

The chance that he would have actually done that is about the same as Ted Kennedy going for another swim in cold waters.

Using ObamaCare To Create A Permanent Democratic Majority
http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials-perspective/061813-660457-california-democrats-fund-left-wing-groups-with-taxpayer-dollars.htm

What is known so far suggests that California politicians are exploiting health reform to enroll millions of the uninsured in the Democratic Party and fill the coffers of left-wing interest groups with taxpayer money.

The idea is to create an army of IRS type snitches. This will be the Gestapo. If you own a gun, go to Tea Party rallies, or don’t buy insurance, expect a visit from anyone of the numerous fascist government agencies.

One of the Perks of this job should be the ability to “Exempt Yourself and Family”

Might already be the case.
