Grasping at Straws: WaPo Writer Claims Young People Starting to Sign Up for ObamaCare
NewsBusters ^ | October 12, 2013 | P.J. Gladnick

If Washington Post writer, Sarah Kliff, of the WonkBlog had been the music director aboard the Titanic, the last tune played on the deck of the sinking ship would probably have been Happy Days Are Here Again. I make that claim because Ms Kliff has taken upon herself the role as pollyannish cheerleader for the "train wreck" known as ObamaCare.

In her latest desperate search for a nonexistent silver lining, Kliff has conjured up what she imagines to be an indication that young people might, could be, maybe, possibly are interested in signing up for ObamaCare. Here is Kliff imagining what she so desperately hopes to be true based on nothing real:

A REAL journalist would now be investigating WHO got the contract ($100 million that grew to over $500 million) to design the ObamaCare software system that crashed instantly and HOW much that company donated to the Obama campaign.

I have been trying to find out if credit and debit cards are taken on the obamacare website, or is payment made some other way?

I bet if I walked down the street and into the bars and took a random survey of most under 25s, few would know what I was talking about if I mentioned the ACA. Fewer than that would know that they’re going to have to sign up or possibly be fined. But even then, I doubt few will sign up unless absolutely forced. But if they cannot be denied coverage for any reason, and the fine for not signing up will be substantially less than paying the premiums, why the h... should they sign up?

I know absolutely nothing about your question, but on an obamacare website there are supposed to be insurance policies offered by insurance companies. Not much in the way of options, so I read, because so few companies are participating in this, but be that as it may, the insurance you purchase is from a company offering that has been approved by obamacare, and I assume you would end up going through that insurance company to pay, but who knows? - what with this monstrosity??

The mediots posing as journalists for the Media are a bunch of idiots, who spew the DNC's lies as news.

Only “hundreds” have been able to sign up for a health care plan at the Obamacare websites. The Wall Street Journal reported:

Okay now we will try the landline # 1-800-318-2596 listed above or 1-800-318-2596 = 1-800-FAU-CKYO.

If you put your debit card info on the 0bamacare website hackers will clean out your bank account.

Liberals live in their own self described fantasy world. They selectively embrace information that fits into this fantasy world and reject anything that does not. The result for them is a life that they would like to be living.

The rest of us live in a real world and understand that human nature, not leftist ideals and government policy rule behavior. These two worlds can never coexist, something that our so called conservative leaders in Washington should recognize.

She came to WP by way of Politico and Newsweek...nothing in her credentials except solid liberal lying journalism. Why would anyone expect her to tell the truth. There isn’t anything in it for her.

Look really closely at the “Please stay on this page” picture. The one with the three sets of icons depicting Healthcare.Gov at work (or not as the case).

1st Set, bottom icon.....a couple of frigging “toe-tags”

This is their real goal.

There's an old political joke told around Boston that explains where the $600,000,000 went.

It seems the town had decided to erect a statue to some bigwig and the job had been sent out for bids. Three bids had been submitted. Charlie Flaherty submitted one for $1000. Tom Finnerty had submitted one for $2000. And Billy Bulger submitted one for $3000.

The Town Council calls in the bidders to interview them. "Charlie, how did you arrive at your bid?" Charlie says "I've done such jobs before and I know the costs."

"Tom. And you?" Tom says "It's a complicated job and I wanted to leave room for allowances."

"And you, Billy? How did you get such a high figure?"

"Well, I figured $1000 for you, $1000 for me, and I'd have Charlie here build the statue."

Billy got the job.

$200 million for you, $200 million for me, and we'll let the low bidder build it. Not bad graft.

They are starting to sign up in large numbers. If they can actually complete the log on process and fill out the application without being ejected from the site they could actually sign up for Ogabecare. But that ain't gonna happen.
