Washington Free Beacon by: David Rutz

Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) had a sharp exchange over their differing health care plans at Sunday’s NBC debate, with Clinton fiercely defending the Affordable Care Act as she continues seeking the title of President Obama’s successor.

Clinton was asked by Andrea Mitchell if it was fair to say, as she has charged, that Sanders wanted to “kill” Obamacare, also known as the Affordable Care Act, with his universal health care plan. However, Sanders voted for Obamacare as a member of the U.S. Senate.

“When you’re talking about health care, the details really matter, and therefore we have been raising questions about the nine bills that he introduced over 20 years as to how they would work and what would be the impact on people’s health care,” Clinton said….

Am I the only one getting the idea that Comrade Sanders smells blood in the water?

Obamacare: Cancellations, Sticker Shock Right on Schedule

healthcare.gov site

 

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” or not as millions of Americans receive cancellation letters of their healthcare policies and news that their healthcare premiums are skyrocketing.

As predicted, many Americans who received a reprieve last year have (or will be any day now) received cancellation notices of their healthcare plans s letters.

Courtesy of Obamacare, their policies have been ordain illegal, leaving many no other alternative but to purchase a more expensive/ substandard government-approved policy.

The official talking points as expected lays the blame at the feet of healthcare insurance companies while ignoring the fact that Obamacare legislation was written with the intent of forcing Americans onto the healthcare exchanges.

Kaiser News

Cancellations are in the mail to customers from Texas to Alaska in markets where insurers say the policies no longer make business sense. In some states, such as Maryland and Virginia, rules call for the plans’ discontinuations, but in many, federal rules allow the policies to continue into 2017.

Insurers sending the notices to some customers include Anthem, one of the largest insurers in the country, Baltimore-based CareFirst, Health Care Services Corporation in Chicago, Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif., Humana in Louisville, Ky., and Golden Rule, an Indianapolis subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group.

One reason behind the switch is that insurers determined they can make more money selling plans that comply with the Affordable Care Act, often at higher premiums that may be subsidized by the government.

“They’re getting a lot more revenue, often for the same person,” said consultant Robert Laszewski, a former insurance executive….

Continue Reading

The number of Americans receiving cancellation letters less than four weeks before the mid-terms elections is expected to exceed the several million who received cancellation letters in 2013.

Washington Post

Some of the small-business cancellations are occurring because the policies don’t meet the law’s basic coverage requirements. But many are related only indirectly to the law; insurers are trying to move customers to new plans designed to offset the financial and administrative risks associated with the health-care overhaul. As part of that, they are consolidating their plan offerings to maximize profits and streamline how they manage them….

Affected are those with healthcare plans private or through their employers living in New Jersey, Colorado, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Vermont, Virginia. That, of course, includes anyone who purchased their healthcare insurance through professional or trade associations, i.e., doctors, lawyers, accountants and private contractors.

Adding to that, more than 10,000 illegals will lose their Obamacare coverage canceled for failing to provide proof of citizenship.

STICKER SHOCK

2015 Obamcare rates bronze plans

 

The cost of premiums effective January 1, 2015 promises to leave those Americans who purchased certain plans reeling when exchange enrollment begins next month (November 15th, post November elections).

According to Investor’s Business Daily, the cost of the cheapest bronze plan in 16 cities will “jump an average of 13.9% for 40-year-old non-smokers earning 225% of the poverty level ($26,260).”

In Seattle, the cost of the cheapest bronze plan, after subsidies, will soar 64%, from $60 to $98 per SCREENSHOT OBAMACARE BRONZE PLAN INCREASE MONTHLY PREMIUSM EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1 2015month, for individuals at this income level. Some other cities seeing notable gains include Providence (up 38%, from $72 to $99 per month); Los Angeles (up 27%, from $88 to $111); Las Vegas (up 22%, from $100 to $122); and New York (up 18%, from $97 to $114).

Ironic isn’t it that cities run by Progressives will suffer the biggest increases?

Finally, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services dispatched emails to insurers demanding that they not reveal the process or results of the testing of the Obamacare exchanges.

obama shhh

Wall Street Journal

The email alert spells out exactly what is expected of participants: Insurance-industry officials “will not use, disclose, describe, post to a public form, or in any way share Test Data with any person or entity, including but not limited to the media,” unless the recipient also has agreed to the confidentiality provisions.

The new confidentiality agreement won’t just cover the industry data that will be included in the marketplace’s testing environment….

Read full article

In other words, the Obama administration, in an attempt to control the message plans to issue talking points that the healthcare exchanges are up, running and that it’s all good, well because, Americans are too stupid to think for themselves. (sarcasm)

 

See: If you like your plan you can keep it unless it’s Humana, Aetna or United HealthOne.

This is a great post.

I just emailed this post to my niece in Virginia who attempted to debate me on the merits of Obamacare just a few days ago.

HHS has placed posters throughout her neighborhood with an image of a young black woman making claims that Obamacare saved her life.

My niece was shocked when I informed her that the poster was government propaganda and even more so once I informed her that the virtues of Obamacare was based on deception.

As much as I love this young woman, I found her lack of comprehension when it comes to the deceptive tactics and rationale behind the Obama administration (HHS) dispatching such propaganda exasperating to say the least.

Informing her that she was being deceived may have been a little too much to handle but all I can do is try.


The Rio Norte Line

When I was in Panama City, my doctor suspected that I had developed sleep apnea. The NHS says:

Sleep apnea (AP-ne-ah) is a common disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep.

Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes. They often occur 5 to30 timesor more an hour. Typically, normal breathing then starts again, sometimes with a loud snort or choking sound.

Sleep apnea usually is a chronic (ongoing) condition that disrupts your sleep. You often move out of deep sleep and into light sleep when your breathing pauses or becomes shallow.

How long did it take to get sleep monitoring  in Panama City in the terrible, horrible, unworkable and broken American healthcare system?

Two days to get an appointment, 5 days to collect the equipment and get monitored. One week from initial diagnosis. Total.

I moved to…

From Bullying the American People to SCOTUS (or trying to); Obama Still Trying to Moonwalk Around Assault on SCOTUS – UPDATED

At 00:24, Obama says “so there is not only an economic element, an illegal element to this but there’s a human element to this and I hope that’s not forgotten in this political debate….”

Every time Obama speaks, a misrepresentation (and I use the term lightly) cascades from his mouth.  Talk about being “sympathetic” (2:08), really?  Wasn’t it Obama who during his shove of Obamacare down the throats of millions of Americans used the analogy of the red pill v the blue pill…..repeatedly?

How sympathetic is that?

Get your head out of arse, Barack and stop quoting Hollywood.


UPDATE 04/05/2012:

As of this afternoon (04/05/2012), the Obama administration continues to moonwalk around Obama’s assault on the Supreme Court.

From Jay Carney

to Eric Holder.  Below is Holder’s half-hearted response to the Fifth Circuit of Appeals who called Obama to task for his assault on SCOTUS.

Top Ten Reasons to Repeal IPAB Health Rationing Board

AMERICAN FAMILY VALUES

“1.) IPAB rations health care

The Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) was created in President Obama’s Health Care law to help cut $500 billion out of Medicare over 10 years. The only tool it can use for this purpose is formulaic cuts to reimbursements for doctors and hospitals. The panel is barred from implementing or even proposing real reforms that would change how Medicare works. Medicare reimbursement rates are already low. Cutting them further will of necessity force many providers to stop accepting Medicare patients. For rural and disabled Medicare recipients, this could greatly impede access to care. If IPAB’s cuts are allowed to take effect, it will inevitably lead to rationing and care denials.

2.) IPAB punishes Health Care providers

IPAB forces Health Care providers to choose between cutting off access to their patients and eventually going bankrupt. Right after ObamaCare passed, Medicare’s top numbers-cruncher, the Chief Actuary, estimated that IPAB’s 10-years cuts will cause 15 percent of America’s hospitals to go out of business. By the way, none of the IPAB members is allowed to be a practicing physician….”

(Medicare) Let’s kill old people for the good o…, posted with vodpod

The correct title of this video should be “Obamacare: Let’s kill old people for the good of the ‘collective” but no big deal.

Who said young folks don’t get it.  This young man from New Jersey total gets it.  America, there is hope for our young.

I think that I’ll send this video to every Progressive that I know and living in NYC, that is a lot of people.
