Breaking: Obamacare is a Train Wreck
— Ace

Jim Geraghty rounds up the latest disasters of Obamacare, with .gifs of train collisions.

I find this interesting and would like to subscribe to his newsletter. Oh wait I already do.

Just a big round-up here.

I'm not going to quote this, because Geraghty has summarized the news, and to summarize his summary would be silly. And seriously, who out there is lazy enough to require a summary of a summary?

Among the items he collects are -- get this -- employers reducing hours and number of workers to avoid Obamacare. In Illinois.

Who would have predicted that apart from everybody not named "The Obama Administration" or "The Allegedly Mainstream Media."

And this seems... interesting.

Carolyn Lawson, the IT expert who tried and failed to build OregonÂ’s online insurance exchange, complained to an Oregon Health Authority official that she was forced to leave under false pretenses in an email uncovered by the On Your Side Investigators.

Lawson emailed OHA chief operating officer Suzanne Hoffman in January to complain that a reporter had been given her personal cell phone number, and asked that the state “allow me to move on with privacy and grace,” after one of the worst health-care-exchange website launches in the nation left her career in tatters.

“I have done everything I have been asked to do,” Lawson wrote. “I stuck to the talking points even though I protested . . . that they were not accurate. I walked away quietly when asked to resign. I wrote the resignation letter per the script I was given.”



That's pretty bad. It's all pretty bad: She also claims, in an email, that a Cover Oregon official claimed that she (Lawson) had misled him (the interim director) about whether or not the website would be up and running on time. She says in another email:

“That never happened,” Lawson wrote. ”I provided all the information I had and never withheld anything.”

Now, I'm sure this is actually all Lawson's fault, and not the case of politicians and high bureaucrats throwing subordinates under the bus. I'm sure that OHA will be providing a full and complete refutation of Lawson's claims immediately.

On Thursday, OHA refused to comment on the emails on the ground personnel matters are classified.

Oh. Ohhhhhhhhh.

22 I watch the "news." I watch local news, cable news, and network news. Local and network "news" say nearly nothing about obamacare. Except today, for example, my local news said that the "glitches" in obamacare were "fixed" and enrollment is on the rise. If you still think obamacare will translate into anti-Democrat votes in '14, think again. Or, at least watch the news so you *know* what the rest of America *knows*, (or doesn't know, to be more precise).

28 And yet the hammer given to GOPe by the wreckage wrought by obamacare remains unused. The fact that GOPe is going balistic 24/7/365 speaks volumes. The GOP is even giving life lines to the donks by moving forward fixes that vulnerable donks can sign onto to help attenuate criticism for voting for it in the first place. The GOP is worthless, utterly worthless.

OT.

over at legal insurrection there is a video of a policeman being Zimmermaned. He pulls out his weapon and fires twice. I think it said other guy was a fireman. (big dude)The policeman made a near fatal mistake. he had him on the ground trying to cuff him. Well the fireman did this little fireman's carry move and turned the tables. he starts punching in the head repeatedly. The sick part is the person taking the video originally was hoping to get police brutality on tape. when the attack turned, the start yelling, "don't attack the police !! " it looked like the fman was dressed like he was at a wedding reception. UFB. add alcohol, instant ...

44 Ah, summary of summary.. I used to use the auto summarise tool in Word and keep summarising things I'd written over and over until they were down to just a couple of words. I was clearly a very bored child before we got the internet.

45 "On Thursday, OHA refused to comment on the emails on the ground personnel matters are classified."

What a choice of words. "Classified".

As though a state level health agency were somehow akin to the CIA or the Pentagon, handling national-security secret material.

The political cadres continue to wall and moat themselves off from the serfs.

What next? Are we going to see military style "black program" budgets start to show up down at the state government level too?

And how far below that level? I can't wait for my local city council to start encrypting the records of their deliberations because they're "classified information". NODIS/NOFORN. We could tell you but then we'd have to kill you.

66 Somewhat O/T, but check out this article from National Journal noting problems with O-Care. http://tinyurl.com/kcpg6vu This is a perfect example of how the media (here, Sam Baker) shade their articles to protect O-care as much as they can, even when they write a negative piece: "With the insurance market now viewed through the distorted lens of the endless partisan fight over Obamacare, it's going to be harder than ever. Republicans have pounced on the narrow networks, citing them as further proof that President Obama lied when he said the Affordable Care Act would not cost people their doctors." "The administration is in a tough spot on network size. Republicans have laid the whole issue at Obamacare's feet, even though it's a market dynamic that Obamacare really didn't cause.." Got it - endless partisan fight. Republicans pounced.... R's contend that Obama lied. R's laid the whole issue at Obama's feet. Why, this is just a big 'ole Washington mess, not really applicable to any one party.

68 Oh, and forgot- hospital offices are spending an hour or more on hold calling insurance companies trying to verify if an Obamacare patient has actually paid any premiums yet. This because the 1990's haven't been invented yet, so no easy way to just check it over the web.

69 Speaking of foul play among public servants, the latest update on the AHernandez thing is that he was unattended, un-handcuffed, let into an area that was only supposed to ever have one inmate in it at a time, where he encountered a guy who had been talking shit to him for days, still handcuffed. The beating was "brutal" and the other inmate was "nearly defenseless". On a TV show, it'd be a slam dunk that a guard got paid off, but how about real life?

93 As with 2012, rumors of the media's death have been greatly exaggerated. They've been laying the spin on O'Care for three years now - Republican Obstructionism. They'll be spinning this up mightily, and Obama and his Dem cohort will continue to delay and alter the deal to mitigate the negative effects. Anyone thinking Nov is going to be a cakewalk for the GOP is thinking wishfully.

Kennedy. “Daddy was the attorney general during the civil rights movement, and then a senator,” Kennedy told a six-person Westchester jury in the misdemeanor case, which is set to reach deliberations Thursday. “I have 10 brothers and sisters. My mother raised us because my father died when I was 8,” the 54-year-old said, her voice shaky as she explained why she grew up in Virginia. “He was assassinated while running for president,” she added. If I were the Judge, I'd have thrown her scanty ass in jail right then and there!

But first, gays in the NFL. Is it time the Republicans allow gays in the NFL.

For more, correspondent Bruce, from San Francisco.

117 From NRO --- His first television show has only been on the air for three days, but Ronan Farrow is already winning awards for his journalistic work. Reach the World, a global education group, will honor the 26-year-old Farrow with its annual Cronkite Award for Excellence in Exploration and Journalism. Reporters attending the event have told not to ask Farrow any personal questions, including about controversy surrounding his family. Farrow, the son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, has weighed in on recent media frenzies, suggesting his father could “possibly” be Frank Sinatra and lending support to his sister’s accusations that Allen sexually abused her at a young age. “The theme of the evening is global education and service,” the tip sheet reads, according to the Post. “All press are required to stay strictly on message. Any press who ask guests or Mr. Farrow about off-message topics will be immediately escorted out of the event.”

"I don't know."
"Do you have any classes with him?"
"Yes."
"Was he in that class?"
"I don't know."
"Do you know his phone number?"
"No."

So several phone calls later I get his Mom on the line.  She asks him if the friend was in x class (some specific class).  "No".

Really? As if there aren't tornadoes so powerful they'd effectively hurl and dump the wall against those meant to be protected. Whichever tornadoes weak enough for a wall to stop didn't likely need a wall to prevent utter destruction along the path of least resistance. Or else the wall will effect visible tornado alleys, as the rut where tornadoes end up each time eroding soil via repeated wind path.

I'm sure that OHA will be providing a full and complete refutation of Lawson's claims immediately. On Thursday, OHA refused to comment on the emails on the ground personnel matters are classified. Doesn't all Lawson have to do, if she chooses, is to sign a release to OHA regarding the subject matter and all of this becomes public?

“I have done everything I have been asked to do,” Lawson wrote. “I stuck to the talking points even though I protested . . . that they were not accurate. I walked away quietly when asked to resign. I wrote the resignation letter per the script I was given.”



 

Hmmm.  Why does the phrase "I was just following orders" come to mind.  Where have I heard that before?

To her, loyalty to her bosses is the highest value. She probably understood that is how you advance in government. Screw the truth.

Made me think about Susan Rice and Benghazi where she was given the party line and went out and spewed it. Even in the face of the blatant and obvious falsehood of that line, she kept spewing it. Loyalty to the boss was the highest value there as well.

266 Odeh, who has as many as nine aliases, was indicted in October for allegedly lying on her U.S. immigration and naturalization application papers. On Dec. 9, 2004, she had been sworn in as a U.S. citizen in a district court in Michigan, the same state where bombing victim Kanner had spent six months studying English. If Odeh is convicted, she could lose her U.S. citizenship and serve up to 10 years in prison. Separately, the Illinois Insurance Code permits civil penalties to be levied after a hearing on any Obamacare navigator whose certificate has been denied, suspended or revoked.

281 I had a man scheduled to come to our office for a WC audit. I told him he has to bring an ID with him for security to allow him in the building even though someone had added him to security. He jokingly said that it was racist. When I told someone that the man coming for WC audit sounded like a good guy & told him why, he didn't get it. That one has no sense of humor.

286 In Britain, the government itself runs the hospitals and employs the doctors. We've all heard scare stories about how that works in practice; these stories are false.

287 http://tinyurl.com/m8ms76f This is from The Right Scoop and supposedly the man worked for both Rudy & Clinton in 2008. He claims SCOAMF was not born in Hawaii. ItÂ’s interesting but if itÂ’s true they should have let us know 8 years ago.
