Obamacare has failed to attract the uninsured ... it has just shifted people who were insured on to public exchanges where they get a better deal on a subsidy for coverage ...

The irony is... even the people I know that are poor and in great need of insurance because of an existing condition... even THEY haven’t gotten Obamacare!

Heck! If they can’t even get all the sick with pre-existing conditions to sign up... they have zero chance getting the young and healthy to sign up.

Nearing a tipping point.

Once the insurance industry wakes up to the fact this is all a game of three-card monty intended to put them out of business and give us single payer, they are gonna pull out and start screaming bloody murder for repeal.

Better smart late than never I guess.

Obamacare's magic fomula was it was going to get people who weren't paying for healthcare to pay for healthcare... because it would be a cool thing to do.

What could go wrong?

OOPS, THOSE "TRANSPARENCY-LOVING" OBAMATONS NEVER FIGURED ON ACTUAL DISCLOSURES....in a required SEC filing, Humana insurers disclosed to investors, "as a result of Dec 2013 federal and state regulatory changes allowing certain individuals to remain in their previously existing off-exchange health plans, the Company now expects the risk mix to be more adverse than previously expected."

The change Humana is referring to is Obama's unilateral "administrative fix" aimed at allowing individuals to remain enrolled in plans that had been cancelled--imposed by Obama's signature healthcare law mandates. Obama announced the "fix" after a storm of criticism over his broken promise that anybody who liked their plan could keep it.

UT, OH---DEMOCRAT TROUBLE AHEAD Paranoid about his wife's chances in 2016, Bill Clinton publicly called on Obama to "honor the commitment he made" that people should be able to keep their health care plans.

But State Insurance Commissioners w/ the power to do so, could not fix it.

When that fixit failed, the Clinton camp began distancing itself from Obamacare. The massive problems associated with O/Care are raining down on the not-amused American electorate.

=================================

SIGNING THE BIG EFFIN' DEAL

"Those Democrats leering over my shoulder owe me bigtime. This
healthcare bill insures we have a permanent Democratic majority."

" All except those Tea Party types, swallowed hook, line and sinker my promises that they could:
(1) keep their existing health plans,
(2) keep their own doctors that they like,
(3) keep their 25-year-olds on the family health plan,
(4) never be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition,
(5) sign up instantly on my tech-savvy government Web site,
(6) buy insurance only after becoming seriously ill."
(7) save $2,500 in annual premiums in the bargain....
(8) All without any new taxes."

"Them sonovagun Tea Partiers will rue the day they criticized my wonderful bill."

================================================

JUST AN EDUCATED GUESS (CACKLE)-- O/Care is a debacle b/c Dems are hiding it as an election issue.

Nanzi Pelosi Says Dems win in 2014 Focusing on The 3 R’s: Recruiting, Raising Cash, Raising Issues.....but Nancy plumb "forgot" to mention "Obamacare"--- the signature legislation of their president. Dems once said they were so s-u-r-e Americans would love Obama's wonderful healthcare plan, that O/Care is a winning Democrat issue.

=================================================

Dems seem to have gotten the heebie jeebies about Obamacare. Is this why? (cackle)

As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act :

OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have your choice of doctor.”

Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.

LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1940's ERA EUROPE Obama And The Dumbos marched in lockstep. The persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."

According to plan. The sooner Obamacare wrecks the insurance industry, the sooner they can implement single-payer which is what they wanted in the first place.

Aetna could be forced out of Obamacare: CEO

"That's just what they'll be expecting us to do."

With all the “blogged law changes” to Obamacare, I don’t see where any company could be held accountable for not following the letter of the law. They should just ignore it and offer whatever policies their customers want at a rate that makes sense. When the FED comes after them, they can use our governments own words as their defense. If it goes to trial, I doubt there would be a jury that would convict.

We are now a fairly lawless nation.
