The 'Obamacare' fiasco

President Obama has started a daily campaign to tout the benefits of Obamacare. Today he said "The website is up and working and people are signing up for Obamacare in large numbers". Representative Joe Wilson from Georgia who became famous for yelling out; "You lie!" during Obama's State of the Union speech in 2009 was a prophesier.

All politicians lie but Barack Obama has taken it to a different level. He knew nothing about Bengazi, the IRS scandals, the NSA spying scandals, Fast and Furious, etc., etc., and like all presidents his loyal followers were willing to also lie to protect him. Other than the four patriotic Americans who were killed in Bengazi, the American people were not hurt directly as a result of any of these scandals - they just were not told the truth.

But the lies about Obamacare - "You can keep your insurance", "You can keep your doctor", "The average family will save $2500 per year", were serious lies that will be hurting a lot of Americans. Five million have already lost their insurance and it is estimated that ten times that could lose their insurance next year. And the latest lie is that the system is "up and working". It is estimated that 30 % of people who have signed up actually don't have insurance and will be surprised when they try to go to the doctor for the first time. During hearings two weeks ago all four security experts were asked under oath if they thought the Obamacare website was secure from hackers and identity theft; they all testified "No".

And the final lie was announced tonight: The system for payment and calculating subsidies from the website to the insurance companies has not even been designed yet! So the governments solution; they will let the insurance companies "estimate" the subsidies owed them and the government will send them a check and reconcile the payments at a later date...think about that; millions of our dollars being sent to the insurance companies based on the "honor system".

While at the same time Obama will be out every day until Christmas telling us how great Obamacare is, and that it is "up and working well". Like Joe Wilson, I say "You lie!"

I read today that Amazon.com handled 26.5 million purchases on November 26th - a sales rate of 306 items per second. This is a classic example of what private sector business people can do. Obamacare is a classic example of government incompetence at a level the American public has never seen.
