   With those cost increases people are going to have to get a second job just to cover their helath care costs. Of course that is assuming they have a first job and can find a second job in the first place.

   Well, Nancy, now we know.
   And I don’t think we like it.
   BTW, who came up with the estimates on the cost?? C’mon, this insurance for people with pre-existing conditions is for people that couldn’t get coverage–because the insurance companies KNOW that these folks will cost way more, on average, to care for.
   Apparently, several somebodies are THAT STUPID…

   One of the questions I have been asking at work(I am a DoD Civilian employee), but have not been able to get a clear answer is this. Most of the unions are getting waivers, but the Federal employee workforce at DoD is not all unionized like many thing. The Union is voluntary (so many of us do not join). The union has a separate health insurance policy for their members than the non-union Federal employee has. So far I have not been able to get a straight answer if only the union health insurance policies will get the waiver or if both union and non-union will get the waiver. The fact that they cannot give me a straight answer tells me that it is most likely only going to be the union workers policies that get the waiver which they will use as a way to try to “convince” more people to join the federal employee union.

   Note to GOP Candidates: It’s ObamaCare, Stupid!

   Failing to anticipate the obvious consequences of a decision is not just incompetence, of which there is plenty to go around in this administration. It is a mortal sin in politics if the opposition is thereby handed an opportunity to concretize pernicious abstractions. Objectionable principle can now be framed in a practical context and get the proverbial light bulb to reach incandescence, making it possible to see clearly what was hitherto deliberately hidden by legalese fog.

   I’m talking about, of course, ObamaCare, seen by the citizenry at large as a long and complicated laundry list of stipulations and caveats buried in fine print — something or other about mandating heath insurance coverage allegedly for the good of all. I daresay most Americans haven’t read this monster, including Nancy Pelosi, judging by her infamous comment that “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

   The pernicious abstraction that is now front and center in a new light thanks to the ineptitude of Sebelius and Jarrett is that the administration, in cahoots with a Democrat-controlled Congress, acted on a phony, potentially unconstitutional right when it passed a sweeping law regulating the behavior of citizens in the marketplace.

    HI HAPPY_SCRAPPER–#15. From your keyboard to God’s Inbox. However, I don’t have a good feeling about the upcoming SCOTUS decision on Obama”Care”. They are doing 5 to 4 decisions on cases that should be 9 to 0 picks if they were really doing their Constitutional duty.
    ***
    Mark Levin has a lot to say about the politicization of the SCOTUS over the last 100 years. And the resulting damage to our liberty and country. This is the same court that decided that the Black slave Dred Scott could be owned by another man–kindov like a cow, not like a human with God given rights. The same court that approved the detention of loyal Japanese Americans during WW2 and FDR’s paranoia. Or his need to cover up his failed judgement in not doing a better job as Commander in Chief in the month prior to the Pearl Harbor attack.
    ***
    Recently we’ve seen the Kelo decision that approved using eminent domain powers to take away modest people’s homes so a big rich resort could be built on their land by a private company. We’ve seen the courts trash valid state constitution changes on “gay” marriage. Our Second Amendment rights hang by a 5 to 4 margin now.
    ***
    We’ve gotten the “Wise” (aka biased) Latina and the Kagan clown put on the court so far. If one of the 4 conservative Justices or the middle of the road Justice Stevens retires or dies it will be a 5 to 4 approval of any of Comrade Obama’s liberal / socialist / statist / marxist / communist dreams. And an open superhighway to His dreams of the new United Socialistic States of Amerikka.

    It has to do with will and leadership. There are at least 18 major pieces of House legislation stalled in the House coutesy of Harry Reid.

    Every week if Boehner and McConnell had a pair they would have a joint press conference and highlight these under, “The Will of the American People Held Hostage, Day xx.”

    Re: The new healthcare regulations…

    1. There are a lot of people that depend and count on others to pay (in labor or dollars) for their health care.

    2. Preventive services cost more in dollars than treating diseases. (you can easily speculate as to why on many fronts)

    3. Ask any non public sector physician if the new healthcare laws will save money. There will be no surprise in the answer. Ask a public secotor physician (university or public health/public hospital supported physician) if it will save money…

    3. If someone else pays for it, then there are’t any personal reasons to control costs.

    4. There isnt any provision of personal responsibility for getting health care services. There is only government mandated responsibility with regulation and physician mandated responsibility. (Essentially physicians are held responsible for your behavoir and financially punished for your actions.)

    4. Most physicians are torn between compassion for those needy who need services and the knowledge that government supported medicine will destroy healthcare, and financially bankrupt medicine and the government.

    5. Physicians do have compassion for the truely needy but dislike medical scam artists and sleezy medical vendors (Especially ones that promise free equipment if your insurance/medicare covers it. You have seen the ads on TV…) They scam people in requesting equipment they dont need and flood physician offices with phone calls and faxes demanding prescriptions, despite refusals.

It’s also a result of how the federal government structured the high-risk pools.

    Incredible. Failure is success. The facts indicate the the incompetence, lies, and phony assumptions that Obamacare is based on and we’re to believe that this is somehow a sign of the intelligence and skill of the people that put it together.

    Obamacare’s Pre-Existing Condition Plan Costing Twice as Much Per Enrollee as Originally Estimated Promised

    “Under MY plan, the cost of healthcare will go down for millions of Americans.” – Pres. Barack Hussein Obama, Prevaricator in Chief

    Funny how Obama’s absolute’s… those “it’s a fact” statements, regarding anything that flies out of his a$$ mouth, conveniently evolve into a guiltless error in judgement, or an “underestimation” by White House Staff, OMB, CBO, and other hirsute intellectuals.

    This is yet one more piece of evidence to prove my accusation that “everything a liberal says, the exact opposite is always the truth.”

    I want to see how his latest “prediction” plays out…you know, the one about algae displacing fossil fuels. By this genius’s estimation, a theoretical idea, one where there is zero evidence that what he claims is even possible, it is essential to keep pouring tax dollars into it’s research… because it’s…POSSIBLE?

    By golly, I believe this man-child would spend tax money promoting unicorn farts as “green” energy, if he thought the public would fall for it!

    The Obama administration says that the high cost of PCIP patients shows that the high-risk pools are serving the exact population it hoped to target: Americans with significant health-care needs who previously could not afford coverage. It’s also a result of how the federal government structured the high-risk pools.

    Incredible. Failure is success. The facts indicate the the incompetence, lies, and phony assumptions that Obamacare is based on and we’re to believe that this is somehow a sign of the intelligence and skill of the people that put it together. Sadly, at least half the country will believe this BS if they can pull themselves away from American Idol and Entertainment tonight long enough to be are aware of it. We really are entering an Orwellian atmosphere in this country.

    Even scarier… Ms Malkin just tweeted, from Detroit: “This is what America’s job creators & wealth producers look like!”
    Yes, she said she’s in Detroit…
    Home of Gov’t Motors, union-central, et al.

    (talk about Orwellian…)

    RINO Romney (aka Obama-Lite) finally said during the debate that he’d repeal ObastardCare. Since the RepublicRAT establishment is hell-bent on Willard (from the RAT movie of the same name), we had better get a whole lot more TEA-backed (R) senators elected to keep this LIBERAL in line, or this country, plain and simple, is just screwed!?! Thre will simply NOT be enough money floating around to cover this bill!?!

    The “pre-existing condition” section of Obamacare is the proof that the government and liberals in general have not even the most basic understanding of the concept of “insurance”.

    Insurance is a socially-sanctioned gambling process. It’s an individual saying “I think I’m going to have more than X amount of medical costs over the course of the year” and another party saying “I think you’ll have less”. They reach an agreement on the wager and strike a deal.

    A pre-existing condition makes the odds of the former being right 100% of the time, and Obamacare requires the second party to make the deal even though they know they are going to lose.

    Would liberals be so willing to bet their wonderful cash cow of state-run Lottery if they knew that it was required to pay out more than it took in?

    Recently we’ve seen the Kelo decision that approved using eminent domain powers to take away modest people’s homes so a big rich resort could be built on their land by a private company. We’ve seen the courts trash valid state constitution changes on “gay” marriage. Our Second Amendment rights hang by a 5 to 4 margin now.

    That’s why the much-derided “nose holding” is so important. I’m not voting for the President this election. I’m voting for the Supreme Court he will nominate (2 or 3 justices). Even RINOs can nominate good justices.

    If Obummer wins, it’s curtains for liberty with a stacked court.

    … Funny how Obama’s absolute’s… those “it’s a fact” statements, regarding anything that flies out of his a$$ mouth, conveniently evolve into a guiltless error in judgement, or an “underestimation” by White House Staff, OMB, CBO, and other hirsute intellectuals.

    Here here. Tru dat brah.

    ya know what? Fine, if these nitwits want to legislate a pre-existing condition program for people who have been denied “insurance” becasue they were already sick…

    go ahead and sign it into law (youdid) just…
    DON’T CALL IT INSURANCE!
    Because if you try to buy a policy for flood insurance AFTER your damn hosue floats away then it aint NOT INSURANCE!
