Default Obamacare

I have been around for a long time and seen many Presidents but NEVER one like this.

If you have watched Fox news in the past couple of days they played back old campaign speeches wherein it was said that: You can keep your insurance and you can keep your doctor. And too premiums will go down.

But were these deliberate lies or was it just more blather from a hopelessly inexperienced, incompetent ?

Fox says insurance company's are cancelling policy's in many states up to as many as 80%. And doctors are heading for the door wholesale. Insurance premiums are skyrocketing. For a young non-drinker as much as 260%. And the highest escalation so far is a reported 416%. *( My own Medicare/HMO premiums shot up 33% this year and will jump another 50% next year, a combined escalation of 83% ).

Regardless of which selection of culpability above we ascribe one thing that is not in question is the registration process on line to sign up. NO-one has been accepted yet. Even the website designers can't make it work for them.

Why? After costing over $400 Million ?

Because the administration made a last minute switch. Instead of being able to enter all personal data, answer the questions, fill out the forms, and credit card information first, then proceed to "checkout" to see prices. the switch requires committing first, THEN going ahead with data entry. In other words buy a pig in a poke.

According to reports this was done to conceal/hide the pricing from the applicant until after he/she had already committed. Because the prices are so whopping there was fear that the applicants would drop out and not commit.

What in the world is this? Blatantly dishonest and a bald faced scam. Repulsive.

Remember what Nancy Pelosi said ? You have to pass Obamacare to find out what is in it.

Just incredible.
