From what I've heard over the past two days, even smart folks are having difficulty navigating the O-Care system.
Half of the Obama voters are dumb as a box of rocks. Of course, many Obama backers didn’t vote for him because they’re stupid to know how to (1) get to the polls and (2) pull the lever. They’re dumber than a box of rocks. The other half of Obama voters smart enough to make it the polls and vote for Obama are stooges who might be good in one area of living, but too naïve to know how the world works.
Many elderly still do not own or know how to operate a computer. My elderly parents had a computer, but only my mother knew how to use it to send e-mails. When she died, my father never bothered to learn how and to his death earlier this year never sat down at a computer. In fact, he didn’t know how to operate a micro-wave oven because she always did it for him. My older brother had to show him how to use one. And this was a man who could build a house virtually all by himself when younger and an expert carpenter.
IT’S NOT FREE! SOMEBODY (US TAXPAYER) PAYS OUT THE WAZOO FOR FREELOADERS!
The other day I heard Rush on the radio and he was saying even after the establishment of Obamacare, 20million of the populace will still be without health insurance.
I know what you mean. My mom asked my dad if she could get the same sites on their computer that I could get on mine and he told her “Of course you can! It’s the Internet!” The whole concept is just beyond folks of a certain age. ( My son and his cousins still crack up over that one).
Surprise, surprise, they will find they aren't getting much back after they doc them the fine for not having a health insurance policy! That's how the feds are getting the student loans paid back too!
Dr Drew? That TV rehab and sex doctor? He was being critical of Obama voters?
A few years back, I received a phone call from someone looking for some technical information for a project she was doing. I later discovered she was getting paid for this, as well.
I couldn’t answer her question precisely, due to a lot of variables, and she was unable to provide me enough information so that I could narrow it all down. I directed her to a comprehensive website on the subject, one I have used in the past. She snottily replied that she would have to go to the library to use a computer.
This is someone who owns land, rents out property, does various other labor. Someone who once described her dream job as being a Lifestyle Counselor and being paid to tell others how to live *sustainably*. She could afford a computer. She has access to the Internet at the library. But what she wanted was for someone to hold her hand, walk her through a process and, I suspect, actually do the work for her, preferably for free. It is pure laziness.
IMO, that 15% is mostly reactionary elderly and a few off-the-grid types. I know of households where one partner refuses to use the Internet or send an email, while the other is comfortable with both. I also know people who refuse to pay for a computer or Internet access, but have no problem asking someone else to let them use theirs. This process has been taught in the lower grades for over 10 years. There are affordable devices available.
The so-called Navigators are supposed to assist people with Internet sign-up. The Dems understand their base.
I live rural. There are houses within 4 miles of me that are not even on the grid.
Having a computer isn’t even a consideration. Knowing how to use it isn’t either.
From the beginning of Obamacare, the number of ‘uninsured Americans’ was said to be 30 million.
Now, we are being blasted with non-stop commercials & the number of ‘uninsured’ is suddenly 48 million.
Where did another 60% come from?
The only guess I have is Layoffs.
“The freeloaders better get hip to the Husseincare penalties REAL quick. “
No so fast, my friend. I believe the feds can add in a little deal that says “The only people who have to pay the penalty are people who care about their credit” because minorities and women will be hit hardest by the penalty.
Oh and illegals don’t have to pay the penalty.
People switched to part-time lost their insurance
