Another Sales Pitch
Is Barack Obama aware that he is the Commander-in-Chief and not a
salesman? Today marks a new concerted effort on the part of this
administration to sell ObamaCare to the American people. They still think their
main problem is their sales pitch.
The problem is that Healthcare.gov
still isn't up to private sector standards. The failure of the website
to handle traffic is absurd, but there is another bigger issue for
those who have already attempted to use the site. According to the
Washington Post, as many as one-third of people who think they've
enrolled in ObamaCare may not actually be
covered come January 1st. That's right - mistakes in the enrollment
forms could effect as many as one-third of those who think they've
signed up for coverage.
Americans are having a hard time trusting government right now as it is.
The fact that their information is not secure doesn't exactly entice
people into giving up their most
private information. This system relies on a need for trust, which is
currently absent. And unfortunately for Americans, and politically for
Democrats, things are likely to get
worse. As Marc Thiessen in the Washington Post
writes, the website is not really the problem. He's absolutely right.
The website is nothing more than a
reflection of incompetence, but the underlying issues of ObamaCare are
what Americans are stressing about and what Democrats will be held
accountable for in 2014.
But if we hunker down and wait until 2017, ObamaCare will work
splendidly by then, right? Wrong. By then, if not repealed, we will
simply have resigned ourselves to the
mediocrity of our new government-run healthcare system. Democrats would
rather us "settle" for ObamaCare than fight for better coverage, better
care, more competition and a
lower costs.
Here are some stories about ObamaCare that I'm almost positive the president will not be touting on his
sales tour... |

More Website Work Remains
Sean welcomed Washington insider Jamie Dupree to Tuesday's show to
discuss the ongoing work on the disastrous HealthCare.gov website.
Dupree explained that while many
improvements to the site have been made, there is still quite of work
left to be done. Federal officials acknowledged that more work is
needed on the "back end" of the site,
to make sure that consumers actually get health coverage and that
insurance companies get the information they need to start those
policies. However, The Washington Post
reported that "enrollment records for a significant portion" of those
who have signed up on healthcare.gov could contain errors, affecting
"roughly one-third" of enrollees. To
