And so we are treated to more HHS Secretary Sebelius conference call audio, where we hear her talking about an “encouraging and holistic” outlook in terms of the “Obamacare” enrollment numbers. “Holistic”? I’m sorry, but this nightmare is getting more and more frightening by the day.
The White House is still one million short of “their” anticipated numbers to date, and four million shy overall, of the seven million mark projected for the month of March. And, we still have no logistical breakdown of the actual enrollees, how many have paid their first premium, and whether they’re actually covered or not. Unfortunately for President Obama, this smoke and mirrors game will only work for so long. Insurance companies are finally beginning to wade through the mess created by the worst website roll out in modern technology times, and it looks pretty scary by any measure.
Percentage wise, young folks have little interest in the expensive policies necessary to balance the “Obamacare” budget, no matter how many “meet and greets” with the POTUS, Jokin’ Joe Biden is handing out. Moreover, people are starting to take a hard look at this “more bang for the buck” thing, and realizing their deductibles vs. care ratios are a lot less bang, and a whole lot more buck.
When we look at this collectively people, even the most optimistic “Obamabot” has to be “losing that lovin’ feeling”. The numbers simply don’t, and won’t ever add up.
