Democrat US Rep. Kurt Schrader (OR – 5th) Says “I Think the President Was Grossly Misleading to the American Public” on Obamacare … #You Lie

Grossly Misleading = LIE!!!

From The Weekly Standard, US Representative Kurt Schrader (OR-D) says that President Barack Onama was “Very misleading”  when he said over and over and over the promise that you can keep your health care plan, if you like it. More Democrats try and distance themselves from Obamacare and not the website, Healthcare.gov, but the lies that were told to the People in order to get the law passed.

“I think the president was grossly misleading to the American public. I know right away as a veterinarian, I have my own business, that my policies got cancelled even before the Affordable Care Act. I know that I would change policies on a regular basis, trying to find the best deal for myself and my employees. But a lot of Americans, a lot of Oregonians, have stayed with the same policy for a number of years and are shocked that their policy got cancelled.

“So I think the president saying you could stay with it and not being honest that a lot of these policies were going to get cancelled was grossly misleading to the American public and is causing added stress and added strife as we go through a really difficult time with health care.”

Only About 40,000 Americans are Said to Have Signed Up for Obamacare Insurance Plans on HealthCare.Fail … WH To Inflate Enrollment Numbers

WHAT PART OF OBAMACARE ISN’T A FRAUD ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

THUD … The WAPO is reporting that a meager 40,000 Americans are said to have signed up for Obamacare healthcare insurance plans through the beleaguered and “glitchy” website Healthcare.gov.  This number does not include the 440,000 people have signed up for Medicaid through Barack Obama’s signature piece of legislation. Hmm, looks like the Medicaid folks had no problem signing up for free healthcare. So 40,000 Americans have signed up for a plan where they may or may not receive subsidies and 440,000 have signed up for free healthcare paid by premium paying insured’s. Obamacare is setting up for an epic collapse.

Just how embarrassing is it going to be for Obama and how outraged are the American people going to be when they see so few signed up for Obamacare as opposed to the millions who have lost their healthcare coverage because their insurance policies were canceled due to Obamacare?

Roughly 40,000 Americans have signed up for private insurance through the flawed federal online insurance marketplace since it opened six weeks ago, according to two people with access to the figures.

That amount is a tiny fraction of the total projected enrollment for the 36 states where the federal government is running the online health-care exchange, indicating the slow start to the president’s initiative. The first concrete evidence of the popularity — and accessibility — of the new federal insurance exchange emerged as the White House has been preparing to release this week the first official tally of how many people have chosen coverage using the Web site, HealthCare.gov.

The figure of 40,000 disclosed Monday did not include Medicaid sign-ups. At least 440,000 people have signed up for Medicaid through the health-care initiative, according to Avalere Health, a consulting firm that has been tracking sign-ups. Budget forecasters have projected that in 2014 there will be a much more even balance between private insurance and Medicaid participants.

The story gets even worse, if possible. As opined at Weasel Zippers, in order to inflate what they know are embarrassing Obamacare enrollment  numbers, the Obama White House will be counting people who have a plan sitting in their online shopping cart as being enrolled. UNREAL, only the federal government is allowed to get away with such fraud. Try overstating your sales numbers in the real world or with a publicly traded company to give the false image that you are more viable than you really are. You would wind up in handcuffs.

So Barack Obama Obama and Democrats lied about Obamacare in that you could keep your doctors and healthcare plan if you want to, they would lower the cost of healthcare and that it would be budget neutral. Now they are set to fabricate the number of people who have actually enrolled. But that is the Obama, Alynsky, Chicago way.

The Obama Failure Continues … State Obamacare Exchanges Have Enrolled Only 3% of Their Target

The 3% President

EPIC FAILURE … Reuters is reporting that State Obamacare exchanges have enrolled 3%, 3 lousy percent of their target goal. This is not the government health exchange, Healthcare .gov that has been an embarrassing nightmare, but the state exchanges. Hey America, do you see now why Obama and Democrats are forcing you to buy insurance or else? No one is even doing so under threat of penalty and the IRS.

As Agent 86 of ‘Get Smart’ fame used to say … “missed it by that much.”

President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform has reached only about 3 percent of its enrollment target for 2014 in 12 U.S. states where new online health insurance marketplaces are mostly working smoothly, a report released on Monday said.

States with functioning exchanges have signed up 49,100 people compared with the 1.4 million people expected to be enrolled for 2014, according to the report by healthcare research and consultancy firm Avalere Health.

With enrollment in the federal HealthCare.gov website serving 36 states stalled by technical failures, the weak sign-ups for functioning insurance exchanges could be due to the administration’s difficulty to promote the program as a success, Avalere said.

The government is due to release national enrollment figures for the month of October this week. Open enrollment ends March 31, 2014.

Supporters of Obamacare and health insurers fear that scant participation in the private insurance exchanges will prevent them from becoming a sustainable new individual market, including the right mix of young and healthy members to offset coverage for older, sick people.

Jay Leno’s Turn to Rip Barack Obama: “Obama’s Better Off Smoking Crack Than Passing ObamaCare, Would Have Been Up 10 Points.” (Update: Carville Says Obama Should Take a Hit on Ford’s Crack Pipe)

Exactly why is Jay Leno losing his show, he has never been funnier. CRACK  OBAMACARE IS WHACK!!!

Comedian Jay Leno just shredded Barack Obama and joked about Obama’s falling poll numbers …  “Latest polls show President Obama’s approval rating down to 39%. And Toronto mayor Rob Ford’s approval rating went up to 49%. How does this make Obama feel? He’s better off smoking crack than passing ObamaCare, would have been up ten points. OUCH, THAT’S GOING TO LEAVE A MARK!!!

Just how bad is Obamacare when crack ranks above it? Obama, the “Comedian” in Chief should get a good laugh out of this one, or does he not find it humerus when he is the brunt of the joke?

From NewsBusters:

JAY LENO: And President Obama saw gravity today – not the film, his poll numbers, not good. [Light laughter] Latest polls show President Obama’s approval rating down to 39 percent. And Toronto mayor Rob Ford’s approval rating went up to 49 percent. How does this make Obama feel? He’s better off smoking crack than passing ObamaCare – would have been up ten points. Would have been ten points higher. [Applause]

Actually, have you noticed the president backtracking a little bit on this whole deal? Like at a fundraiser earlier this week, President Obama said, no, no, no. What he promised was that you could keep your healthcare plan if it hasn’t changed since the law has passed. You know, he’s such a good speaker, he almost believed it himself [Light laughter] and then his pants caught fire. That’s when I knew. [Laughter and applause] When I saw the pants caught fire.

UPDATE I: Democrat strategists tells Obama to take a hit off Toronto Mayor Ford’s crack pipe.

41 Million People Could Lose Their Insurance Plans Even if You Like Them & Forced Into Other Plans Because of Obamacare … What About the Employer Mandate?

OBAMA’S GREAT BIG LIE THAT HE NEVER THOUGHT WOULD COME TO LIGHT SO SOON …

President Barack Obama repeated over and over again to sell Obamacare, that narrowly passed along a one-sided, partisan Democrat vote ,“If you like your private health insurance plan, you can keep your plan. Period!” NOT EVEN CLOSE AMERICA. Obama and Democrats find themselves in the middle of a political healthcare firestorm as millions of insureds, who like their insurance, are being canceled from their current plans because of Obamacare. President Obama was forced to take to the airwaves and provide a half-hearted, lame apology, even though he and Democrats knew this would happen. During his faux-apology Obama continued the lie of those who would lose insurance. He claimed only 5% of the population in the individual market would be affected. Like some 15 million is some thing to sneeze at. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. What about the employer mandate? According to McClatchy, between 34 million to 52 million individuals could lose their insurance.

Reid, Obama & Pelosi … the clowns that rammed Obamacare down America’s throats

Even as President Barack Obama sold a new health care law in part by assuring Americans they would be able to keep their insurance plans, his administration knew that tens of millions of people actually could lose those their policies.

“If you like your private health insurance plan, you can keep your plan. Period,” Obama said as he pitched the plan, the unqualified promise he made repeatedly.

Yet advisers did say in 2010 that there were large caveats and that anyone whose insurance plan changed would lose the promised protection of being able to keep existing plans. And a report in 2010 said that as many as 69 percent of certain employer-based insurance plans would lose that protection, meaning as many as 41 million people could lose their plans even if they wanted to keep them and would be forced into other plans. Another 11 million who bought their own insurance also could lose their plans. Combined, as many as 52 million Americans could lose or have lost old insurance plans.

The lies continue from Barack Obama. Ever wonder why Barack Obama and Democrats “illegally” changed the Obamacare law so that the “employer” mandate would be delayed until after the 2014 elections? It was all about politics. Do you really think they did not now what was going to happen and individuals would be forced unto Obamacare plans? The only way Obamacare can work is for this to occur.

Obama insisted anew Thursday that the problem is limited to people who buy their own insurance. “We’re talking about 5 percent of the population who are in what’s called the individual market. They’re out there buying health insurance on their own,” he told NBC.

But a closer examination finds that the number of people who have plans changing, or have already changed, could be between 34 million to 52 million. That’s because many employer-provided insurance plans also could change, not just individually purchased insurance plans.

Administration officials decline to say how many employer-sponsored plans could change. But those numbers could be between 23 million to 41 million, based on a McClatchy analysis of estimates offered by the Department of Health and Human Services in June 2010.

So DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, do you still want to run on Obamacare as a positive in 2014, Hmm?

UPDATE I: And then there is the even more dire report from The Daily Caller where health care economist Christopher Conover, a research scholar in the Center for Health Policy & Inequalities Research at Duke University and an adjunct scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, says that if Obamacare is fully implemented, 68% of Americans with private health insurance will not be able to keep their plan or 189 million people.

“Bottom line: of the 189 million Americans with private health insurance coverage, I estimate that if Obamacare is fully implemented, at least 129 million (68 percent) will not be able to keep their previous health care plan either because they already have lost or will lose that coverage by the end of 2014,” he said in an email. ”But of these, ‘only’ the 18 to 50 million will literally lose coverage, i.e., have their plans entirely taken away. This includes 9.2-15.4 million in the non-group market and 9-35 million in the employer-based market. The rest will retain their old plans but have to pay higher rates for Obamacare-mandated bells and whistles.”
