ObamaCare
Imploding

Okay
folks, I know you think the C-Span Channel that broadcasts all those
Congressional hearings is boring, but, really, you should have been around to
watch the Senate Finance Committee's hearing Wednesday on the Affordable Health
Care Insurance Oversight.


Folks,
you haven't seen so many faces of misery since you watched Les Miserables for
three and a half hours...and they were all Democrats. And one of them,
Senator Max Baucus, was the primary sponsor of Obamacare in the
Senate!


Now,
try to follow me here because this gets pretty complicated. (It seems that
Nancy Pelosi was right; you DO have to pass Obamacare to find out what's in
it...and the Democrats are now learning what the Republicans warned them
about. It's an unworkable mess that is throwing millions of Americans off
the health care rolls!)


Okay,
apparently, tens of thousands of American employers began throwing workers off
their health care plans and opting to pay the much lower federal fine for not
offering health care for their workers. Thousands more are even now
converting their full time workers to part time workers by limiting working
hours per week to less than 30, in compliance with Obamacare rules.
(Remember when Paul Ryan and the Republicans predicted employers would do
this? Remember when Democrats were warned that employers would move to
save operating expenses by moving their entire work force into federal
healthcare exchanges?)


Now,
these workers who have lost their health care benefits are busy trying to sign
up for state health care exchanges. (There are Internet sites available if
your state has agreed to sign up to Obamacare). However, when these
American workers, soon to be without employee provided health care, go to the
Health Exchange to sign up, they are finding they are not qualified! It
seems that during the signup process, applicants are required to fill in various
income and benefit data, which then flows over to IRS computers who then are to
spit out what your premium costs will be and how much federal tax credits you'll
receive in order to receive subsidies to help you afford health care premiums
that are as much as 30% more than you were paying under your employer’s plan!


Big
Problem! The IRS is only allowing somewhere around 9% subsidy support for
Obamacare Health care Exchange premiums that are priced so much higher than the
worker was paying under his employer plan! (Surprise, Surprise!
Remember Republicans warning that forcing working Americans to pay for the 30
million leaches who pay nothing for their health care under Medicaid would drive
the premiums of working Americans higher?)


Second
Big Problem! The IRS computers won't mate up with the Health Care Exchange
computers because the IRS computer system is obsolete! So when workers try
to sign up for Obamacare the IRS and the Health Exchanges are telling applicants
to go to pound sand!


And
so fireworks really broke out at the Finance Committee hearings on Obamacare
yesterday afternoon. Senator Max Baucus, (Dem), said.."how could this
happen? I'm hearing from my constituents that they and their families have
been left out in the cold and are without health care because the Exchanges are
not accepting them!". Quote from Senator Bill Nelson, (Dem), Florida "my
constituents are not going to be happy to hear this administration failed to
implement the necessary changes to accommodate health care applicants...someone
has to pay for this!" Similar outrage was professed by Senator Ron Wyden (Dem)
from Oregon.


Sadly,
Obama Program Director for the Health care Affordability Act was on hand to lend
testimony. All he could seem to do was sympathize with his Democratic
buddies, saying that maybe the problems could be ironed out by the end of 2014
but could offer no ideas about how that could be done.


An
Update! This morning a Harvard economics professor came on CNBC and
announced that, according to a federal study his group just completed, the
Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, is going to be forced to
come back to this same committee, hat in hand, and request $700 billion dollars
more be allocated to Obamacare just to pay for those automatically covered under
current federal programs.


Also,
sadly, the Wall Street Journal reported that, in addition to the 30 million
Americans not currently covered under Obamacare, we can expect tens of millions
more who will be left in the "no health care Twilight Zone"; those who were
doing just fine with their employee health care plan until Obamacare was
implemented this year. And many of those who were working 40 hour weeks
will find themselves deemed "part time employees" working less than 30 hours per
week and unable to afford Obama's premiums even if they could get through the
application process.


And,
as usual, while the working poor and the rapidly declining middle class will be
out in the cold without any health care, the Medicaid/Welfare leaches have no
worry. They are covered by that $700 billion dollar pot of gold that
Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services will be demanding from
Congress soon!


Sad.
Doggone sad.
