How Obamacare Just Made Filing Your Taxes Worse
by Tammy on April 5, 2016Alternate headline: How ObamaCare has made everything that matters to you worse. ObamaCare destroyed the healthcare system, and now it’s focusing on making your life miserable. This piece of trash needs to be destroyed by the next president, plain and simple. Via Time. It’s that wonderful time of year again: tax season. Some 150 million American businesses and individuals are expected to file taxes by this month, covering thousands of arcane provisions that determine how much you and your family will pay Uncle Sam and state governments this year. But this filing season is the second in which Americans may have yet another—and bigger—tax bill to worry about: the one forced on us by the Affordable Care Act. It serves...

Hillary Admits There’s a Problem With Obamacare: “Discourages Full Time Employment”
by Shifra on December 17, 2015Does Hillary ever bother listening to what she says? Does she not realize (or wants to pretend she doesn’t know) making us into a Part Time nation was a deliberate part of the plan? Via Weekly Standard: The Republican National Committee posted a video of Hillary Clinton admitting that Obamacare creates adverse incentives. During an exchange between Clinton and a questioner, Clinton noted, “we have built in some unfortunate incentives that discourage full-time employment.” QUESTIONER: Hi, I just want to know why there is discrimination against the part-time workers when so many companies are going to part-time when it comes to FMLA? CLINTON: Well, that’s why they are going to part-time. That, and also, the Affordable Care Act. You know,...

Obama Threatens, Er, Promises To Visit City With Most ObamaCare Sign-Ups
by Shifra on November 9, 2015A visit from POTUS to your city? This is perhaps the biggest incentive yet not to sign up! Via CNS News: President Barack Obama, once again plugging his government-mandated health care plan, said on Saturday he will reward the city that records the most sign-ups during this open enrollment period. “If you haven’t gotten covered yet, or if you care about someone who hasn’t gotten covered yet, now’s your chance. It’s open enrollment season for the Health Insurance Marketplace,” Obama told his Saturday radio audience…. “I’ll come visit the city that enrolls the highest percentage of folks who aren’t covered right now. That’s a promise. After all, this country is at its best when we look out for each other....

‘Secret Shopper’Audit Reveals Obamacare Wide Open To Fraud
by Shifra on August 3, 2015Really, is anyone surprised? The only shocking thing in this story is the craven ‘explanation-excuse’ to the audit offered by the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee: Because…transgenders! Via WSJ: The people running ObamaCare set low expectations and then consistently fail to meet them, but could the expectations at least stop plunging? Witness the recent “secret shopper” audit that unmasked the entitlement’s wide-open exposure to fraud and the lack of any plan to prevent it. Last year the Senate Finance Committee asked investigators at the Government Accountability Office, or GAO, to test the Affordable Care Act’s internal eligibility and enrollment controls. So they created a dozen fictitious identities and applied for insurance subsidies—and 11 fake claimants got them. ….Online...

Open Thread: SCOTUS Upholds ObamaCare Subsidies
by Tammy on June 25, 2015While I have plenty to say about this situation, I’ll add to it tonight on Live Tammy Radio at 7pm ET. I hope you can join me. Here we have a law passed on lies. You’re going to see Obama and the Democrats spike their football. On Fox News this morning I cautioned liberals about this, because the objective truth about ObamaCare’s destruction of individuals actually getting healthcare is not lost on the majority of Americans. Now, at least, the situation is clear, and conservatives must now focus on nominating and electing and authentic conservative with a plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. The choice will be clear now with this decision, and the GOP candidates will have to take...

by Shifra on March 25, 2015More Obama water-carrying from, as Tammy calls them, the Legacy Media. Via Newsbusters: CBS Cheers Anniversary of ObamaCare; Uses WH Stats Passed Off as ‘Our Research Dept’ The CBS Evening News enthusiastically took to promoting ObamaCare in the form of a brief on its Monday night broadcast, hailing the fifth anniversary of President Obama signing the massive legislation into law. Anchor Scott Pelley began by reminding viewers that “[i]t was five years ago today that President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act known as ObamaCare.” Continuing the White House spin, Pelley rattled off a few statistics regarding the health care law that he claimed were from “[o]ur research department,” starting with how “more than 16 million Americans have health insurance...

Jonathan ‘Stupid Americans’ Gruber Fired From Mass. Health Connector Board
by Shifra on February 26, 2015Things are not going well for MIT economist Jonathan Gruber. Earlier this week, officials began investigating Gruber’s “problematic billing” of his work on behalf of Vermont. Via Burlington Free Press: Gruber billing referred to Vermont attorney general …Gruber submitted two consecutive invoices in September and October claiming the exact same figures — 100 hours for Gruber at $500 per hour, and 500 hours for his research assistants at $100 per hour. Only one research assistant worked on the project, according to the auditor’s report. “The evidence suggests that Dr. Gruber overstated the hours worked by the RA and that the Agency of Administration ignored the obvious signs that something was amiss,” Hoffer wrote…. The auditor believes Gruber assumed that he...

800,000 ObamaCare Customers Given Wrong Tax Info
by Tammy on February 20, 2015Because no matter how hard you try, a disaster is a disaster is a disaster. The number is actually 900,000 when you count the exact same snafu of wrong tax info being sent out to 100,000 separate customers of the California ObamaCare exchange. It’s the nature of big government to breed incompetent bureaucracy. How much longer will we allow this fraud to continue? Via NYT. About 800,000 taxpayers who enrolled in insurance policies through HealthCare.gov received erroneous tax information from the government, and were urged on Friday to hold off on filing tax returns until the error could be corrected. The Obama administration, under heavy pressure from congressional Democrats, also announced that it would give several million people more time...

Liberal Cornell Students Outraged At Obamacare Fee, Stage Sit-In
by Shifra on February 16, 2015To be filed under: We Told You So! Via Bizpac Review: Cornell students erupt over healthcare fee; ‘elections have consequences’ messages pour in Sometimes, the best education is the one life gives you. Students at the prestigious but liberal-leaning Cornell University found that out the hard way last week, when they stormed the office of school President David Skorton to protest a modern-day example of socialism at work. On Feb. 5, Skorton posted a memo on the school’s website notifying students that all who opt out of Cornell’s health care program next year will be charged a $350 fee…. And, of course, the mocking on Twitter: #fightthefee We tried to tell you costs would skyrocket, but people like you thought...

Liberal Harvard Faculty *Loved* Obamacare…Until It Hit Them In Their Wallets
by Shifra on January 6, 2015Well, well. Look who’s stupid now. Via New York Times: Harvard Ideas on Health Care Hit Home, Hard For years, Harvard’s experts on health economics and policy have advised presidents and Congress on how to provide health benefits to the nation at a reasonable cost. But those remedies will now be applied to the Harvard faculty, and the professors are in an uproar. Members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the heart of the 378-year-old university, voted overwhelmingly in November to oppose changes that would require them and thousands of other Harvard employees to pay more for health care. The university says the increases are in part a result of the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act, which many Harvard...

Angry Dad’s Letter to Jonathan Gruber: “You Arrogant B*****D!”
by Shifra on December 11, 2014“Angry Dad” also calls Gruber “a smarmy SOB.” Well said, “Angry Dad,” well said! Via American Thinker: C. Edmund Wright — An Angry Dad’s Reaction to Dr. Gruber If you know what’s good for you Jonathon Gruber, you’ll stay the hell away from me. Why? Because you have done the unpardonable in the eyes of any father – you have brought havoc unto the finances of my youngest daughter – and her newlywed husband. You see, Dr. Gruber, what you did not only harmed millions of Americans – many of them young – you did so based on arrogance. This is you on all of those videos – glibly counting your fellow citizens as fodder for your tortured contrivances that...

College Professors *Shocked* How Obamacare Hurts Them
by Shifra on July 29, 2014Uh oh, looks like some Lib chickens are coming home to roost. Via Investor’s Business Daily: Professors Suddenly Don’t Like ObamaCare Either After years of singing the praises of universal health care, college professors are now shocked at how badly it has turned out — for them. Adjunct professors are steamed at the way their employers are interpreting the Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate, which forces them to cover full-time but not part-time workers. Typical of liberals, they blame their employers instead of the job-killing law they supported. Starting Jan. 1, ObamaCare makes employers offer all full-time workers health insurance or pay a fine. In response, hundreds of colleges have simply cut instructors’ course loads to dodge coverage. Others are...

HHS Tries To Force Man To Sign Up For ObamaCare
by Tammy on April 23, 2014This is out of freaking control. The entire government is turning into a criminal mob. Via Free Beacon. An Oklahoma man is distressed over the lack of identity safety of Obamacare and is alerting others about it after he received a suspicious piece of mail from the Department of Health and Human Services, KWTV reports. A letter from the Health Insurance Marketplace, the division of government where Americans can enroll in Obamacare, was sent to Kini Kay last week. The letter listed his address and an application ID (similar to an eight digit number), and asked him to confirm his information and visit healthcare.gov. The letter also claimed that he submitted an application for health coverage. But Kay never signed...
