The Obamacare Train pulled into the station this week. Just a few glitches on the bridge to a brighter healthcare future.
You know that tremendous decline in the unemployment rate over the last year? I bet you didn’t know the Feds and all the states hired hundreds of thousands of drones with your tax dollars over the last 8 months to convince millions of other drones to sign up for “free” healthcare, also paid for with your tax dollars. It appears our politician leaders haven’t been too forthcoming with how many call center drones and door to door Obamacare “consultants” were hired. But with the Feds admitting to at least 20,000 and every state hiring 5,000 to 10,000 Obamacare solicitors, the total hiring probably reached 400,000 or more.
Well guess what? April 1 has arrived. These drones are no longer needed. Today’s Challenger & Grey layoff press release sums up the situation:
The top job-cutting sector in March was health care, which announced plans to reduce payrolls by 5,768, bringing its year-to-date total to 10,984, which ranks fourth among all industries. “We continue to see downsizing in the health care sector, as hospitals adjust to lower Medicare reimbursements and cutbacks in Medicaid funding. There has also been a surge in job cuts among the workers hired to sign-up Americans for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. With the sign-up period ending on March 31, call centers around the country have been purging their payrolls of these temporary employees,” noted Challenger.
The unemployment rate will continue to decline as these 400,000 drones will be able to leave the labor force because they now have free healthcare.
After reading this little blurb, the critical thinking region of my brain started to tingle. The Obamanites just dumped 7.1 million drones into the healthcare system but the healthcare industry is ramping up layoffs due to cuts in funding from the Federal government. That sounds very promising for our future care under Obamacare. It seems we have the train of trillions in added costs towards the deficit steaming towards the train of less options, less doctors, worse care, higher premiums, and government rationing. I’m sure it will end well.
Admin, I think you should add a t-shirt to the doom store that reads, “When all else fails, manipulate the data…” I’ll buy it. We should have a slogan of the quarter contest for doom shit, with the price of admission being you’ve gotta buy the winner or something.
I find it utterly amazing that Obama pulls a number, 7.1 million, out of his ass, knowing full well it’s a complete bullshit lie. But he has no qualms about lying, as he’s a pathological liar. When the truth comes out, like it did about “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan”, it’ll be the MSM’s job to brush the truth under the rug, again, and like always.
The website crashed on the final day of sign up. People that have signed up, and even paid, were not issued insurance and have no coverage. Millions that signed up had health insurance that was cancelled, and they needed new policies that now cost twice or three times what they used to have. And millions more are getting free healthcare (Medicaid). It’s not free to hospitals and doctors that are gullible enough to take it, however, since they won’t get paid for providing “free” healthcare. Well, actually, it is free, since nobody gets paid for it. Somehow, the day after this debacle, Obama pulls a number out of his ass, whatever number he wanted. Pathological liars aren’t troubled by facts and truth.
The actual number of people that were uninsured before Obamacare than now have health insurance and paid is a little less than 900,000, and this will cost $2.6 trillion (although it will probably be double that), several hundred thousand for each enrollee.
The healthcare system is already suffering under the yoke of the FSA (Medicaid), and the hospital closures and doctors getting out of medicine will be staggering. A hospital or doctor simply cannot stay in business seeing Medicaid patients. That doesn’t matter to Obama and his minions, all that matters is how many “signed up” and are covered. He doesn’t give a shit whether they can get healthcare or whether they live or die. And he sure as hell doesn’t care about the healthcare system. He’s never mentioned it once since he took office, because he knows what Obamacare will do. Fucking lying hypocrite piece of shit. He needs to be impeached.
Obama’s numbers are a lie, a fantasy, like everything else he does….

Sigh, too bad all the elected fucknuts that brought us the ACA were not on the train, and why is that? Why do those fuckers always get a free pass?
Obamacare “happy ending”
‘Guys, hot ladies are waiting to talk to you’: What deaf Obamacare customers were greeted with after being mistakenly directed to a sex chat number instead of insurance line
That’s right Comrades,
Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama has thrust it upon us. From free Platinum Titanium Gold Plans™ to a happy ending with a filthy skunk young, insatiable Obama-nymph, we now have everything we ever could have asked for.
I certainly was pleased when I was placed in the virtual waiting room for 3 hours, then disconnected, then reconnected, ultimately being sent to a video sex chat line (all for free). You see Comrades, it is Dear Leader’s wish that we all have a happy ending while enrolling in his signature achievement, ObamaCare. To me, his rerouting us to video sex chat, is just a small glimpse of what else he has in store for us. The man is a supreme leader.
Now I ask all of you, What other leader in the entire galaxy would have thought of this? The answer; No one, that’s who. Does anyone think Super Vlad would have thought of this?
The answer is No. No Comrades, not even Super Putin could have come up with such a glorious ending to the most pleasant enrollment experience ever. Thanks again Comrade Obama. By the way, my lady friend was asking if there is a woman’s only waiting site for a little late night enrollment pleasure (just in case I’m out of town of course)?

Seven Times Government Has Given Out Numbers to Phone Sex Lines
April 2, 2014 By Matt Vespa & Dan Joseph
“Welcome to America’s hottest talk line! Ladies, to talk to interesting and exciting guys free, press one now. Guys, hot ladies are waiting to talk to you. Press two to connect free now.”
That was what some callers to California’s Affordable Care Act Health Exchange website heard when they called to try and sign up for health insurance.
Apparently, the number that was posted on the website had one digit wrong. As a result, customers who were rushing to sign up for Obamacare on the last day of open enrollment, ended up being offered a chance to talk dirty to some sexy singles.
While this may appear to be just one more ridiculous example of utter incompetence, brought to you by the people who are now in charge of the nation’s health care system, this isn’t the first time that a government phone number intended to help citizens has resulted in callers being offered some steamy conversation.
In fact, it happens surprisingly often.
Here are some of the most recent examples of this bizarre phenomenon.
1. In 2008 a phone line was set up by U.S. Department of Fish & Wildlife, in order for Americans to purchase a stamp that would allow them to hunt ducks during the upcoming season. A card provided listed two numbers where the stamps could be purchased. The first number listed was 1-800-STAMP24. But, due to a printing error, the alternative number to call if that number was busy was listed as 1-800-TRAMP24.
While the duck stamps cost $15 a piece, when duck hunters called the number listed they were offered a far better deal. For only $1.99 a minute a recorded message offered callers the opportunity to “..talk to the girls that turn you on.” WHAT A DEAL!!
Interestingly enough, in a rare display of federal government frugality, the fish and wildlife people decided that it would be too expensive to reprint the cards with the correct number – and let duck hunting enthusiasts figure it out for themselves for the remainder of the season.
2. In 2012, Florida Governor Rick Scott directed Floridians to call the state’s Department of Health if the wanted information about a fungal meningitis outbreak.
During his announcement, Scott inadvertently gave out the wrong number which led callers to an automated message featuring a sultry young female who said “Hello boys; thank you for calling me on my anniversary,” and then directed the concerned citizens to a menu featuring a host of “naughty options.”
It is unclear whether the young girl featured in the recording had fungal meningitis. But, it’s pretty likely.
3. In Florida, a year later, deputies in Lake County printed up a brochure that listed the rights of victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. It also provided an emergency hotline number, which directed people to a sex line instead. When dialed, a recorded message said, “Welcome to America’s hottest talk line. Ladies, to talk to interesting and exciting guys free, press one now. Guys, hot ladies are waiting to talk to you.”
4. Last February, a Georgia woman inquiring about her child-care services was directed to a sex hotline, despite dialing a government-issued phone number. The woman, thinking this was an error, dialed the number at least four more times, but still got directed to the adult phone service.
5. In October of 2013, San Francisco residents, fed up with the noise from the Nike Women’s Marathon, were directed by the city to call 1-800-RUN-NIKE to voice their complaints. When dialed, a woman told the callers to “unzip that fly, baby.”
6. In Santa Fe County, New Mexico, the local government site listed two phone numbers on its contact page. Do I really have to say where those two numbers led constituents to? The sex hotline numbers were subsequently taken down.
7. Last January, it was discovered that a former child seat information line operated by the Colorado State Patrol had turned into a phone sex line. According to KDVR-TV, Denver, the Colorado Children’s Hospital and the Colorado Department of Transportation listed the state patrol’s child seat safety hotline as 1-877-LUV-TOTS.

AWD….Doc’s taking only Medicaid can make a living just taking it. Problem is they probably aren’t the type of Doc that you’d want to treat you .
I would imagine that in the future my dogs Vet will do a better job of treating me than a Doc from Obozocare .
BUCKHED
A doctor cannot run an office and take Medicaid. I ran my own office for years, and had to sell out because of Medicaid non-payment. They pay $24 for an office visit, and it takes 6-9 months to get paid, if ever. So, to pay for the heating bill, electricity, staff, billing, taxes, FICA, rent, equipment and other supplies, you have to see 40 patients a day to make a profit, which is impossible. So, you can see Medicaid patients and go bankrupt, or not see Medicaid patients. It simply isn’t possible, and Obama is adding 16 million more people to Medicaid. Go luck using it.
No incentives whatsoever for employers to pay the 2k-per-employee penalty and dump everyone into Obamacare just as small businesses have commenced with doing (though in their defense, with few other options available or just simply folding-up-shop under the additional expenses/economic oppression).
Sometimes I amuse myself by pouring through the commentary of Cultural-Marxist “Progressive” websites with their Libtard posters and their loony, steadfast ideological blinders (millions of innocents and the best health care system in the world must be sacrificed at the altar of holier-than-thou-healthcare-for-all despite over a century of failed collectivist experiments and a hundred-million murdered the world over). I’ve long drawn the conclusion they’re just the worst of malleable dupes (like Communist/Race Hustler Obama) led by the noses of the truly-unimaginably-sinister (like Bolshevik “Obamacare chief-architect” Emmanuel) who know EXACTLY what they’re doing:

Employers Say Obamacare Will Cost Them $5,000 More Per Employee
Businesses reveal in confidential survey that Obamacare will add up to $200 million in costs
Obamacare will cost large companies between $4,800 and $5,900 more per employee and add hundreds of millions to their overhead, according to a new survey.
The American Health Policy Institute conducted a confidential survey of 100 large employers—those with 10,000 or more employees—asking what costs they expect to incur from Obamacare over the next decade.
Factoring in the health care law’s added mandates, fees, and regulatory burdens, employers anticipate cost hikes between $163 million and $200 million in 2016, a 4.3 percent increase. By 2023, employers will be paying 8.4 percent more than “what they would otherwise be spending” for their employees’ health care.
In the next 10 years, the total cost of Obamacare to all large American employers is estimated to be from $151 billion to $186 billion, according to the study.
I simply cannot wait for the government, local, retirees and eventually employees, get dumped into these exchanges.
Then they can find out what it feels like to get it good and hard.
I’m sure the big companies won’t find the millions in employee cuts to balance out the costs. Most have already stripped American operations bare to offshore and then executive-pocket the profits. We all know they will find a way to strip another strata of jobs/Americans to pay for this shit.
That is something the money-for-nothing-crowd continues to refuse to see. Businesses HAVE to be profitable or they go out of business (unless you are union/connected, at least for now).
Adding billions in compliance costs and rules, plus billions more in upcoming wage increases (the Repubs will cave, you watch, they want the positive tv spots), will NEVER equate to more jobs.
Anecdotally, two Elias Brothers’ Big Boy restaurants went out of business within five miles of here in the past couple months.
I’m sure the new high-tech jobs will be around soon to employ those whom have lost their jobs.
No? Well then, we all know a few tens of thousands in student loans will fix everything.
We are so screwed.
