“They were running the biggest start-up in the world, and they didn’t have anyone who had run a start-up, or even run a business,” said David Cutler, a Harvard professor and health adviser to Obama’s 2008 campaign, who was not the individual who provided the memo to The Washington Post but confirmed he was the author. “It’s very hard to think of a situation where the people best at getting legislation passed are best at implementing it. They are a different set of skills.
The White House’s leadership of the immense project — building new health insurance marketplaces for an estimated 24 million Americans without coverage — is one of several key reasons that the president’s signature domestic policy achievement has become a self-inflicted injury for the administration.”
..... Notice how "political fear" is the thing that Washington is worried about ...... and not the personal economic fear that the citizenry of this country will be embroiled in over the next few months and years. The citizens are about to be broadsided by large increases in their expenditures in this failing economy which could well lead to their own personal economic collapse ..... and cold hearted Washington is only concerned about the political ramifications of the effects of the Affordable Healthcare act.
obama says do something and everyone bows down to him the way he bowed to the Saudi Prince. I have a feeling lots of people know the NSA can make you guilty of anything they want.
Comrades, so-called "glitch problem" at brand new website of National Socialist healthcare rationing system is result of deliberate sabotage by "tea party" wreckers. These reactionary running dogs are the puppets of the capitalist so-called "free market" insurance monopolies, desperate to delay start of National Socialist "single payer" system, as laid out by Dear Leader Obama to AFL-CIO in history-making speech of 2003. This history-making speech when Dear Leader announced plan to "transition" from so-called "free market" health system of capitalist exploiters, to new system of equal fairness to all good comrades, like in best days of former Soviet Union, and today in worker's paradise Cuba, and People's Democratic Republic Korea.
Soon National Socialist health rationing system will be smashing records like former Leningrad Red Star Locomotive Factory. Never-stopping commissars shall working around clock be to find and liquidate medical coverage of last dying-hard reactionaries, using most modern computers at ACA-NSA-IRS data hub fusion centers. Then all good comrades will surely reject "old thinking" and outdated capitalist ideas of so-called "liberty" and "free choice." In words of Dear Leader Obama, "Nobody believes more firmly than me that all citizens are equal. I would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where would we be?"
The goal of the 0bamacare website was to fail, thus creating DESPERATE VICTIMS who readily accept the government fix called 'Single Payer' (or die).
What's this?
Didn't we start out with "50 million Americans without health insurance"?
Then, it was 45 million. Then 40.
Now, it's only 24 million?
Doesn't this mean that the administration turned the whole health care industry on its head, then turned it inside out, merely to satisfy the health insurance needs of 24 million people?
Why the hell didn't we just buy them all a bare bones policy...???!!!
0bama is the kind of person who would think about constructing human beings in laboratories.
Who cares about the fascists' cute little parlor games?
I want to know how to destroy their movement.
You could condense this entire article into something on the order of “if the Republicans had only cooperated, everything would have been peachy-keen.”
Problem with posting the print version link is we don’t see the comments. Original version with comments:
before the ACA.
what was Federal and state law,
concerning the issue of insurance companies
being allowed (or not) to drop customers
that make big claims.
please be as specific as you can be.
Thanks for any responses!
“Since the day the bill became law, the official said, the president believed that “if you were to design a person in the lab to implement health care, it would be Nancy-Ann.””
Heck of a job, Barry. Heckuva job.
About Nancy Ann Min DeParle:
"DeParle was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and raised in Rockwood, Tennessee, where she graduated from Rockwood High School. Her mother died of lung cancer when Nancy-Ann was 17
She attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, where her major was history and her senior thesis was entitled "Uncle Sam, Hirohito, and Resegregation: The Tule Lake Segregation Center, 1943-1946." She was awarded a B.A. degree with highest honors and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and selected as a Phi Kappa Phi scholar. She was the first female president of the University of Tennessee student body and was a member of the Gamma Alpha chapter of Delta Gamma. In 1978 Glamour magazine named her one of the year's top ten college women.
After graduating from Tennessee she enrolled in Harvard Law School, but interrupted her studies there when she was awarded a Rhodes scholarship. As a Rhodes scholar, she went to Balliol College of Oxford University, receiving a B.A. from Oxford in 1981. After returning to Harvard, she earned a J.D. degree in 1983.
She is married to Jason DeParle, a reporter for The New York Times.
She has Chinese ancestry.
......DeParle has drawn criticism for her lucrative service on corporate boards after her tenure in the Clinton administration. Msnbc.com reported that she was paid more than $6 million, and served as a director of half a dozen companies that faced federal investigations, whistleblower lawsuits and other regulatory actions. Many of these companies have a stake in the health care reform that she led.
She served as a director of Accredo Health Inc., Boston Scientific, Cerner Corp., DaVita, Guidant, Medco Health Solutions, Speciality Laboratories, and Triad Hospitals. She was a managing director of CCMP Capital....... Source

-——a very difficult media environment........the issue is incompetence-———
Ho, ho, ho....... The crap has been accumulating for some time now. The bag has burst. The crap will now spill all over who knows what.
There are hundreds, nay thousands, that will be splattered with the offal spilling from the busted bag. There must be splatter insurance, a splatter suit, a splatter shield, to limit the stench covering crap damage to those thousands.
The easy solution, Cover Your Ass. Emit truth. Even better color the truth with a smattering of ass covering and soul satisfying fiction.
The CYA will extend from the depths of the minions in the doomed bureaucratic trenches into the halls of the Executive Office Building and perhaps across the street into the White House its self. Valarie will chomp the cyanide. There is no hope for her. Jay, poor old Jay, will hari kari with a microphone cord. The witch of the west will submit to having more work done in hopes of looking like someone else. Dingy Harry will wander off into Area 51, never to be heard from again.
The result is isolation. The President like Eva and Adolf in the Bunker, will find himself all alone. The Teleprompter screens will be blank.
