Seriously.. this is happening again!? People trying to apply for Monday’s midnight OBAMACARE deadline are being greeted again with the website ‘currently unavailable’ messages.. this is beginning to feel like a big joke—maybe it’s just an April fools prank and the website will announce on the 1st of April, “April Fools, you got until midnight tonight instead!”
Sex sells. Even health care. You can sell health care two ways, perhaps. On one hand, you can show young professionals without insurance, struggling to get by, working long hours, trying to make ends meet for their families, and battling to stay healthy—Obamacare comes along and now can aid them in their struggles. Or, on the other hand, you can just remind them that they can have more sex. Apparently that is what Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, along with the ProgressNow Colorado Education, are doing in their ‘thank Obamacare’ campaign.. they decided to go with a new advertising campaign, aimed at 20 somethings, telling them that when you find out your partner has insurance through the affordable health care act, you can bang him/her. A history of inspiring government propaganda now being replaced with sex..
The only catch to all this? Porn sites are typically user friendly. Healthcare.gov is not.. Good luck finding a mate.
NBC news reports this:
President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.
They found two!
Of course it probably took a combined 565 hours to sign up, but they found two!
This is getting beyond comical, more like… really embarrassing.
This is just becoming a mess … So many surprises ..
The report says, in part:
By all accounts, the new policies will offer consumers better coverage, in some cases, for comparable cost — especially after the inclusion of federal subsidies for those who qualify. The law requires policies sold in the individual market to cover 10 “essential” benefits, such as prescription drugs, mental health treatment and maternity care. In addition, insurers cannot reject people with medical problems or charge them higher prices. The policies must also cap consumers’ annual expenses at levels lower than many plans sold before the new rules.
But the cancellation notices, which began arriving in August, have shocked many consumers in light of President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their plans if they liked them.
OBAMASHOCK: Healthcare.gov website STOLE copyrighted scripts! And the site STILL does not work!? Shameful.. technologically shameful..
It got to the point today where the President had to have a special address in the Rose Garden the mess—and someone actually passed out during the event! The woman was probably exhausted from trying to create an account on the .GOV website..
What a major goof up this all is..
Hospitals, a reliable source of employment growth in the recession and its aftermath, are cutting thousands jobs amid falling insurance payments and in-patient visits.
BOOM!
Another great week.
From FORBES:
With respect to the definition of “cancer,” downgrading some conditions as no longer being “cancer” can and will used to justify reducing “unnecessary” screening tests (e.g., mammograms for women between ages 40-49). Mammograms can now detect the condition known as “ductal carcinoma in situ” (DCIS), which would no longer be called a cancer under the new proposal
Even cancer? Disease? ….is anything in this land of our land NOT political!?
I read about this a few days back.. I am somewhat appalled by our civilization sometimes, especially in circumstances like this.
Wesley Warren suffers from a terrible affliction. And yes, some will choose to make funny quips and comments.. but this story actually has a profound ability to teach us a lesson: Health insurance is a necessity in the modern world, as civilization is better when it’s less about profit and more about care and compassion.
People are not being compassionate about Warren’s immense scrotum.. it’s a headline sure to garner laughs and smiles.. But it’s a personal hell for him to deal with.
Be kind, humanity. You, too, may one day have an embarrassing problem. I hope and pray that yours will not be due to the fact that a for profit health system gave you less than adequate care or even completely cut you out of the system..
…they decided that big thing about military valor and lying.
Oh yea, and health care stands, Chief Justice Roberts sided with Obamacare.. and the rest is history.
The Obamacare high court arguments start..
