How to Protect Yourself From Obamacare

[Townsend]

Only 14,999 Oklahoman's have gotten to the point of "choosing an Obamacare plan."  There are no numbers for the actual fraction of who have been enrolled, because they are "not tracking that data" for some odd reason (**CAUGHS "Bullshit"**).

So Obama minion Tom Vilsack, who campaigned for president Obama (after his own anemic run for president). A man who's went from being governor to co-chair of the DNC, to becoming a lobbyist, to being appointed as secretary of agriculture by President Obama (who doesn't hire lobbyists) says that Obamacare is super awesome!

Got it.

I can't imagine Oklahoma's "racist tea bagger" farmers would be big Obama anything fans.

It's good for them damn it!. . .and Obama has given them no other choice because he knows what's good for them!  Stupid heartland hicks, clinging to their God and guns.

Something tells me not a F would be given about any of that.  I doubt his administration wants those folks to be healthy and live longer.

I've come to the conclusion that the corporate mandate, the individual mandate and all of the other provisions in Obamacare need to be enforced thoroughly, and as written.

This is what I have been saying. It's passed, it's gotten a sort of seal of approval from the courts, and Obama was reelected. Quit screwing around.

This is a pretty funny republican gambit addressing Obama's refusal to enforce laws as written...

And now, the take down from Trey Gowdy:

Looks like another "executive change" to Obamacare is in the works.  This time the president is going to "relax" the 80% rule that requires insurers to spend 80% of premiums on actual healthcare.  This will give the insurance companies some leeway in covering the costs associated with the low enrollment #s and lack of young participants required to fund the system.

I expect that after March, we will begin to see plans form for a "bailout" of the healthcare industry to avoid losing insurer participation in the exchanges.

I'm surprised the admin hasn't tried this to get young folks to sign up yet?

President Obama jumbled his facts when asked about "skyrocketing" premiums for people who get insurance through work. He was correct to say that, generally, the Affordable Care Act isn't to blame for "skyrocketing" employer-sponsored premiums, but he made two dubious claims to back up his argument:

• Obama said "people forget that the average premium was going up 15% a year before the Affordable Care Act," leaving the mistaken impression that he was talking about employer plans. That's true of premiums in the individual insurance market — for people who buy their own insurance — but not of rates in the large employer market, which was the context of the conversation.

• The president also went a bit too far in saying that the only impact on employer plans was a requirement to offer a minimum set of benefits. Employer plans do face other new requirements, some of which have had a small impact on premiums.Most Americans get their insurance through work, and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that that won't change. It estimates that 158 million Americans will get insurance through their employer in 2018, 7 million fewer than if the law hadn't passed. That's a net decrease, which is a combination of some workers gaining coverage, some losing an offer of coverage and others choosing to not take the employer's offer.
