Another Broken Promise?
So
it looks like the administration's promise that the website would be
fully functional by the end of the month is going to be yet another
broken promise. According to the WSJ
, "In updates for reporters on Thursday
and Friday, the Affordable Care Act's lead repairman Jeff Zients more
or less conceded that the website three years in the making won't work
until sometime after the end of this month." Beyond the website, the law
itself remains a disaster. Did you know that the administration is
considering a "fix" to ObamaCare that could cost almost $1 trillion? You probably haven't heard much about it because t
he mainstream media is reluctant to cover a news item
that would result in another broken Obama promise: that he wouldn't
sign a plan that adds one dime to the deficit. But this latest plan
being considered to expand ObamaCare subsidies to those above 400% of
the poverty line would result in increased costs.
I'm
not holding my breath that the president will be forthcoming with any
more apologies. Needless to say, his chief legislative achievement has
been a failure and it is now associated with lies and deception.
ObamaCare Will Hurt in 2014
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is kidding herself if she seriously thinks that ObamaCare will be a boost for Democrats in
2014. We are less than a year away from the next election, and it is
hard to see how ObamaCare will make such a miraculous turn-around in
that time. Not to mention the fact that the lies surrounding ObamaCare
will continue to haunt the president and the Democrats who parroted
them. Even the
Washington Post points
out, "President Obama likes to say he will never again be running for
office, but every Democrat knows he will be on the ballot figuratively
in 2014, and 2016, as well. Right now they are rightly nervous about
that prospect." I agree with Reince Priebus
who
said over the weekend that ObamaCare will be a "toxic" issue for the
Democrats: "We will tattoo it to their foreheads in 2014. We will run on
it. And they will lose because of it."

$26.7 Million Per User
By the end of this week we are supposed to get our first official
numbers on enrollment in the ObamaCare exchanges. Based on anecdotal
evidence and estimated numbers from the states, I can't imagine that it
will be a proud moment for this administration. Remember that the
success of ObamaCare hinges on millions of enrollees within the first
few months, and most of those have to be young, healthy Americans. That
is far from what we are seeing thus far. We have a few reports today
that continue to demonstrate how much of a massive failure this rollout
has been.
In North Dakota,
for example, only 30 people have signed up for ObamaCare while over
30,000 have lost their current coverage! Only five people have signed
up for coverage in DC. Breitbart points out
that
this means it cost the taxpayers an astounding $26.7 million per
enrollee thus far for the site! And what's amazing is that the worst may
be yet to come. Based on a McClatchy analysis of estimates offered by HHS in 2010,
the employer mandate could result in the loss of coverage for as many
as 23 to 41 million Americans! Combined with those individuals losing
coverage, over 50 million Americans total could lose their current
insurance because of ObamaCare. That's an outrage.

McCain Getting Pressure To Run - Posted by TCUFan
Interesting article. Haven't the heart to tell him the pressure is probably just gas. Take a Tums, Senator.
Part of me kind of hopes he runs. I need a good laugh.
