Thanks Obamacare … UPS and UVA Ending Spousal Insurance Coverage … What Happened to Obama’s Promise that You Can Keep Your Insurance If You Want To
MISLEADER IN CHIEF: THANKS TO OBAMACARE, UPS AND UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA ENDING SPOUSAL INSURANCE COVERAGE …
Remember when President Barack Obama promised Americans that under Obamacare, you can keep your insurance coverage if you like it? Well guess what, HE LIED! As reported at the NY Times, United Parcel Service has told its employees that it will stop providing health care coverage to their spouses who can obtain coverage through their own employer. Thus, spouses who have a lesser coverage in their employment, but are provided heath care will no longer be able to be covered under the better UPS health care insurance plan. This is happening in many other companies and as it turns out Universities as well. UPS and UVA are dropping spousal coverage and citing increased health care costs. Wait, wasn’t Obamacare supposed to cut health care costs as well? I guess it all depends on what “nobody” is?
THE OBAMA LIES: “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan, PERIOD! No one will take it away, no matter what.”
United Parcel Service has told its white-collar employees that it will stop providing health care coverage to their spouses who can obtain coverage through their own employers, joining an increasing number of companies that are restricting or eliminating spousal health benefits.
U.P.S., the world’s largest package delivery company, said its decision was prompted in part by “costs associated with” the federal health care law that is commonly called Obamacare. Several health care experts, however, said they believed the company was motivated by a desire to hold down health care costs, rather than because of cost increases under the law.
In a memo addressed to employees, U.P.S. said, “Limiting plan eligibility is one way to manage ongoing health care costs, now and into the future, so that we can continue to provide affordable coverage for our employees.”
The memo also estimated that about 33,000 spouses were covered under its insurance plan for white-collar employees and that “about 15,000 of these would have health care coverage available through their own employers.”
The University of Virginia is going the same.
The University of Virginia will no longer provide insurance coverage to the working spouses of its employees, a move university officials hope will save “millions of dollars.”
Starting Jan. 1, employee spouses who have health insurance coverage under their employers cannot get coverage under UVa’s plan. If the spouse is covered under a plan defined by the Affordable Care Act as “minimum value” and “affordable,” he or she will no longer be eligible.
Cutting off working spouses with access to health insurance is part of the university’s plan to save money in the long-term, said UVa spokesman McGregor McCance.
CAN WE PLEASE REPEAL THIS LIE AND START OVER FROM SCRATCH!!!

Barack Obama Goes Golfing Yet Again as Egypt Burns With a Bain Capital Donor, Yes That Same Bain Capital
Barack Obama goes golfing again on Martha’s Vineyard with Bain Capital Donor … Could Obama be more of a Hypocrite?
Once again Barack Obama goes golfing as he shows he could care less about what is going on in the United States or abroad. Egypt is burning as the death toll rises and Obama golfs. And now it would appear that this time Obama went golfing with an Obama campaign donor who has ties to Bain Capital. Yes, the same Bain Capital that Barack Obama demonized his 2012 presidential campaign opponent Mitt Romney for being involved with. Isn’t that something? Could this president be more two-faced? Obama attacked the evil Bail Capital during the election, but now he chums around with them and goes golfing with Bain donors. Doesn’t that speak volumes about this president? Remember during the debates when Obama said your job as President was not to maximize profits (VIDEO)? I bet there are many out of work individuals who after 5 years of Obama would beg to differ.
Remember when Bain Capital was evil, not now for Obama as he golfs with campaign donor who has represented the venture-capital firm Bain Capital
President Barack Obama hit the golf course Sunday with a campaign donor who has represented the venture-capital firm he repeatedly attacked in the 2012 election.
Mr. Obama is spending some of the last hours of his eight-day vacation on Martha’s Vineyard with Eunu Chun, a lawyer who has represented Bain Capital.
Mr. Chun, along with some other supporters with Bain Capital ties, raised funds for Mr. Obama’s re-election bid last year. The Obama campaign made Republican nominee Mitt Romney‘s ties to Bain Capital an overwhelming issue in the campaign, and Mr. Obama spent much of last year criticizing his opponent for his time at the firm.
As Weasel Zippers reminds us, Obama has gone golfing 140 times since he has been president, which is 116 more rounds than Bush played in eight years.
As the Middle East burns Obama’s only brush with the dessert sand is that of a sand trap while golfing on Martha’s Vineyard. Or a water hazzard as NRO opines.
Oh and we can’t forget Saturday’s day on the golf course with comedian Larry David, the star of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm and former U.S. trade representative Ron Kirk and businessman Glenn Hutchins, a part owner of the Boston Celtics basketball team. So as Jammie Wearing Fool reports, ‘Three Dead, 14 Wounded in Saturday Shootings; Obama Yuks It Up Golfing With Larry David’ but this president could care less. How come Obama did not find a microphone to say, he could have been any one of these kids? That’s right, there was no political value in doing so … FORE!!!

The Divider in Chief Barack Obama: Republicans Who Don’t Support Obamacare Want to Hurt the Sick and Stick It to Americans … Oh the Irony, Obama Has Stuck it To America For Years
Even on vacation Barack Obama takes time away from golfing to prove he is a liar, a hate monger and the Divider in Chief …
Barack Obama starts out by saying over the past two weeks he has been visiting with Americans across the country to secure a better bargain with the middle class. Obama stated we needed to rebuild an economy that rewarded hard work and responsibility and “an economy built on the corner stones of middle class life, good jobs, a good educations, a home of your own, a secure retirement and quality, affordable health care. What a joke, who does this rodeo clown think he is kidding? Obama has had how long to fix the economy? Instead he made Obamacare his number one priority as Democrats had control of the House and Senate. The result was, along partisan line, Democrats and Obama forced Obamacare down the throats of Americans. Now this failed healthcare plan is hated by Americans. No body wants it. Not just Republicans, but the very people who passed it. It is Obama who has put in delays into the implementation of Obamacare. Let’s not forget this delay of out-of-pocket expenses that will cost Americans. It is labor unions, federal government employees, the IRS and Democrat politicians who suddenly want to be no part of Obamacare, while others are supposed to be forced onto the train wreck. Barack Obama promised the American public that would of the pillars of Obamacare was that keep your own insurance. Guess what, “HE LIED!!!”
Even on vacation Obama finds time to make a hate-filled, slanderous Weekly Address to blame Republicans for his failure as a President. Instead of acting like a leader, Obama continues to play Chicago style, hate politics and to divide and conquer. His Weekly Address was shameful. Nothing more than completely shameful. It is reprehensible that the United States elected such a miserable, hateful individual who just lies to the American people to make political points. But, anyone who dares questions him is a racist. However, one thing is for certain Powerline call is it 100% correctly … Barack Obama, the hardest working man in demagogy
It is pathetic that Obama is still campaigning for Obamacare. But just curious, how did healthcare become a right endowed by Our Creator? Oh, because Obama said say by decree.
From the White House website Aug. 17, 2013:
Many Members of Congress, in both parties, are working hard to inform their constituents about these benefits, protections, and affordable plans. But there’s also a group of Republicans in Congress working hard to confuse people, and making empty promises that they’ll either shut down the health care law, or, if they don’t get their way, they’ll shut down the government.[Editors note: Who is making empty promises? Obamacare was nothing more than a lie. Remember when Obama said, “If you like your health plan, you can keep it?” Remember when Obama guaranteed that ObamaCare would “lower premiums by $2,500 per family per year?” Obama also promised that is you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, PERIOD! However, as stated at Town Hall, pretty much ever promise made was a lie. The reality is that just the opposite has occurred. Obama made promises he knew he could not keep, but it sounded good during an election as he knew the truth would not come out until after he was reelected for a second term. Now Obama looks to delay certain parts of Obamacare that are a disaster so that Democrats will not be affected in the 2014 midterms.What about all the jobs that Obamacare was supposed to create? Jobs created for who, the IRS?
Think about that. They’re actually having a debate between hurting Americans who will no longer be denied affordable care just because they’ve been sick – and harming the economy and millions of Americans in the process. And many Republicans are more concerned with how badly this debate will hurt them politically than they are with how badly it’ll hurt the country. [Editors note: These threats sound like the same ones he made about sequestration. Remember how Obama and Democrats said that sequestration cuts would damage the economy?
A lot of Republicans seem to believe that if they can gum up the works and make this law fail, they’ll somehow be sticking it to me. But they’d just be sticking it to you. [Editors note: Obamacare is a jobs killer. Who's sticking it to who? 74% of business are either going to fire or make employees part time. Just how small is Barack Obama. He thinks this is about sticking it to him. His disaster of a healthcare plan is sticking it to America. It was Democrat Senator Max Baucus, one of the architects of Obama care who is now calling it a train wreck.
Remember these promises America … They were all lies and that is why so many Americans are against Obamacare
Some even say that if you call their office with questions about the law, they’ll refuse to help. Call me old-fashioned – but that’s lousy constituent service. And it’s not what you deserve.
Your health insurance isn’t something to play politics with. Our economy isn’t something to play politics with. This isn’t a game. This is about the economic security of millions of families. [editors note: All Obama has done is play politics with health care and jobs. Who is delaying parts Obamacare until after the 2014 midterm elections? Who has done nothing to create jobs, full-time one, not part-time. Folks, Obamacare is such a joke that half of Affordable Care Act Call Center jobs will be Part-Time and will come with no Health Benefits benefits. Oh the irony.
See, in the states where governors and legislatures and insurers are working together to implement this law properly – states like California, New York, Colorado and Maryland – competition and consumer choice are actually making insurance affordable.
So I’m going to keep doing everything in my power to make sure this law works as it’s supposed to. Because in the United States of America, health insurance isn’t a privilege – it is your right. And we’re going to keep it that way.
Thanks. And have a great weekend.
Yea America, have a good weekend as I pander to the middle class about jobs and then vacation with the ultra rich on the tax payers dime. You have a good weekend while Egypt burns and falls into complete chaos while I golf. Every one have a good weekend as I deflect the attention away from the fact that I am a total failure as president and create division and blame others.
Daily Commentary – Friday, August 9, 2013 – Obama Now The Top Target For Late Night Comediens
- With the election over and Republicans in the background, Obama is now front and center. Anthony Wiener is in second place

In the Wake Unprecedented Embassy Closings, Obama Goes on Tonight Show: Hey NSA … President Barack Obama Tells Comedian Jay Leno that “We don’t have a domestic spying program.”
More from the Comedian in Chief …
So let’s get this right, President Barack Obama’s first comments made following the unprecedented closing of dozens of Embassies and Consulates across the Middle East and North Africa are made on the Tonight Show? Seriously! More US Embassies were closed than were after the 9-11 terror attacks and this guy goes on the Tonight Show? This is how serious this man is as a president.
The jokes on you America … You reelected me
During last night’s appearance on ‘The Tonight Show,’ President Barack Obama told comedian Jay Leno that … “We don’t have a domestic spying program.” Wow really, don’t tell the NSA that. I guess one needs to ask Obama what his definition is of a domestic spying program. Which is exactly the reason why this clown, the Comedian in Chief went onto the ‘Tonight Show’ in the first place. Obama knew he could get away with saying anything and would never get a tough follow up questioning calling him on his bullsh*t. Barack Obama also said the U.S. is not overreacting by closing some U.S. embassies for a week.Nah, it is not over-reacting, but wasn’t it this same very president who was running for reelection in 2012 the man who said that Al-Qaeda was decimated and on the run? Yea, no over-reaction here Jay. Of course that was Jay’s turn to then ask, didn’t you say they were on the run, isn’t that what you ran on and told the American people? Instead, we got crickets.
Then President Barack Obama had the audacity to tell Leno the following, “The odds of dying in a terrorist attack are a lot lower than they are of dying in a car accident, unfortunately.” Mr. President, maybe you would want to say that face to face to the family and loved ones of our heroes killed in Benghazi, U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith and Tyrone S. Woods.
