Before & after…
So “School Boy Jay Carney”, (who’s trying desperately to look like a man with that beard), tells the WH Press Corps there are 2.1 million Americans enrolled in “Obamacare”. Really? Let’s take an honest look.
1. Insurance industry insiders are reporting there have been 6.1 million policy cancellations, (not including families members associated with those policies), since the “roll out”. This tells us the fundamental premise of “Obamacare” is flawed. Less folks have healthcare today, than when they started this experiment.
2. It appears as though upwards of 40% of “enrollees” have not yet paid their premiums, and thus are not actually covered, bringing the number to a more realistic 1.2 million actual customers receiving benefits. And of those, it’s estimated that at least half are subsidized/Medicaid/older enrollees and not the young healthy folks needed to foot the bill.
3. Insurance analysts are predicting that small business with 50 or less employees, (18-24 million Americans and their families), will cancel their health insurance, reduce work weeks, and lay off workers to meet payroll as the “employer mandate” comes on-line. And the same will go for companies with 100 or less employees, (40 million Americans and their families), totaling nearly 80% of all small group plans in the united States. Sobering, isn’t it?
4. And lastly, those plans or plan extensions not meeting the “ten (lobbyist approved) benefits” as spelled out in the PPACA, will eventually be terminated as well, putting the final nail in the coffin of the American healthcare system as we know it, and paving the way for the always intended “single-payer” as a final solution.
I interacted on social media with a fairly well-to-do Liberal recently, who seemed to personify the “head in the sand” attitude of many in our country today. His take on “Obamacare” was simply, “let it play out and see what happens, then vote accordingly”. Thinking back on that Facebook conversation, I have to wonder. What would our country look like today had that been the attitude of so many who sacrificed everything for this great ideal. Would there even be a United States? Buckle up…
