Breaking: HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Is Resigning
by Tammy on April 10, 2014The only thing making this headline even better is if they announced her arrest as well. After all the lies and corruption, we’ve got to make sure this woman doesn’t just sail off into the sunset. What a menace this woman has been. But I’m not getting too excited. You know Obama will appoint someone as bad, if not even more awful. The coverage notes he’s considering Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the director of the Office of Management and Budget. We’ll see. Let’s hope the door hits her on the way out. Via New York Times. Kathleen Sebelius, the health and human services secretary, is resigning, ending a stormy five-year tenure marred by the disastrous rollout of President Obama’s signature legislative...

Obamacare Exchange in California Sends Deaf Callers to a Sex Hotline
by Tammy on April 1, 2014It never ends. And just think, even with the overwhelming failure and incompetence, a miracle! Pelosi announces they hit on the magic 7 million ObamaCare enrollees! They might as well make it 10 million or even 20. Why not? Via Free Beacon. Deaf Californians hoping to enroll in Obamacare the day before the deadline were not offered with help to sign up; rather, they were sent to a hotline offering help to connect them with “Hot Ladies,” CBS Sacramento reports. Jeff Brown attempted to sign up for Obamacare last minute on Monday. After completing his application, he was informed that he needed to call a 1-800 number. When he dialed it, he just got a busy signal. With only hours...

Flashback: 6 Months Ago, Obama Was Telling Us We’d Get Health Insurance “For Less Than Your Cell Phone Bill”
by Maynard on March 14, 2014Here is an interesting post from the WhiteHouse.gov website, a press release dated 9/22/13. It's a transcript of Obama's remarks at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Phoenix Awards Dinner. In particular: "...You can offer your family the security of health care ... for less than your cell phone bill. That’s what change looks like."

Union Diagnosis: Obamacare Irony (Income Inequality Made Worse) Bad For Workers
by Pat_S on March 10, 2014It’s been said that humor brings insight and tolerance where irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding. United Here, a union representing 300,000 workers, has discovered unhealthy levels of irony in the Affordable Care Act. The union takes notice that the Obama administration is trying to shift the conversation away from the health care law to friendly Democrat issues such as income inequality. The irony, as they call it, is that the ACA will actually worsen income inequality. The Irony of ObamaCare: Making Inequality Worse The promise of Obamacare was the right one and the hope for extending healthcare coverage to the un-and under-insured a step in the right direction. Yet the unintended consequences will hit the average, hard-working...

Cry-Babies Are Implementing The Socialist Takeover of Healthcare
by Tammy on February 14, 2014They better get more tissues from Costco to be ready for the butt-kicking their entire scheme is going to get in November. Facing 50,000-application backlog, insurance marketplace chief breaks down in tears The head of the state’s beleaguered health insurance marketplace, which was once a national model, broke down in tears Thursday, as she described how demoralizing it has been for her staff to struggle with a broken website that has left an unknown number of people without coverage. Jean Yang, the executive director of the Massachusetts Health Connector, wept at a board meeting, where it was disclosed that 50,000 applications for health insurance are sitting in a pile, and have yet to be entered into a computer system. Each...

ObamaCare Employer Mandate Delayed Another Year
by Tammy on February 10, 2014For something so good for the economy, that everyone needs and wants, weird that Obama keeps unilaterally delaying it. Maybe that’s because it’s harming the economy and is a complete FUBAR? Yeah, that may be it… Why Congress allows this guy to keep changing legislation in his unconstitutional, likely illegal, fashion is beyond me. Here’s the background and my favorite tweets in response 🙂 Delayed: Obamacare’s employer mandate for small businesses The federal government Monday announced yet another delay in Obamacare’s rules. It will now exempt companies employing between 50 and 100 full-time workers from complying with the mandate to offer employees affordable health insurance by another year, until 2016. Companies that have 100 or more full-time workers, defined as...

NY Times: CBO Job Loss Prediction Is “Mostly A Good Thing, Liberating!”
by Shifra on February 5, 2014Good news, everybody! According to today’s NY Times editorial, yesterday’s CBO prediction of 2.5 million lost jobs, due to Obamacare, is actually “mostly a good thing.” And, liberating! Who knew? Via Washington Examiner: New York Times editorial: CBO job loss predictions ‘mostly a good thing’ After the Congressional Budget Office estimated that Obamacare will cause the loss of 2.5 million jobs in the next 10 years, the New York Times editorial on Wednesday called the news “mostly a good thing.” Here is their b.s. Obama water-carrying absurd spin take on the CBO report: Via The New York Times: Freeing Workers From the Insurance Trap The Congressional Budget Office reported on Tuesday that the Affordable Care Act will reduce the number...

Obama Regime: 2.5M People Losing Their Jobs Just A “Small Percentage of the Economy”
by Tammy on February 4, 2014The Congressional Budget Office says ObamaCare is a job killer. But we already knew that, and have been saying so for four years. Now the Fed is catching up a little bit, yet losing 2-2.5 million jobs is the tip of the iceberg. “President Barack Obama’s healthcare law will reduce American workforce participation by the equivalent of 2 million full-time jobs in 2017, the Congressional Budget Office said on Tuesday in a report…” What does the White House think of this horrible reality for at least 2 million people and their families? It’s just a “small percentage of the economy.” Remember I warned you about what happens when people are the budget. You get cut, you’re just a number on...

‘Kelly File’: Obama Regime Caught Lying About ObamaCare Enrollment Numbers
by Tammy on January 17, 2014Great segment from Megyn. One of the first things I noted to you on Tammy Radio when all these ObamaCare “enrollment” numbers was that little of it was likely true. We were being spoonfed numbers from HHS with no 3rd party oversight. Additionally it made no sense considering the payment process element for the ObamaCare website still isn’t completed! Megyn has a number of details exposing the lie of the numbers. The good news is the Medicaid “enrollment” is false. Why would they want to inflate those numbers in particular? To scare Congress into not trying to pull the plug. After all, Medicaid is the vehicle the Left expects to become the new Single Payer. If you inflate the number...

¡Sorpresa! Spanish ObamaCare Website As Screwed Up As English Version
by Tammy on January 13, 2014Via The People’s Cube FUBARs are the same in every language. Health Care Website Frustrates Spanish Speakers Mirroring problems with the federal health care website, people around the nation attempting to navigate the Spanish version have discovered their own set of difficulties. The site, CuidadoDeSalud.gov, launched more than two months late. A Web page with Spanish instructions linked users to an English form. And the translations were so clunky and full of grammatical mistakes that critics say they must have been computer-generated — the name of the site itself can literally be read “for the caution of health.” “When you get into the details of the plans, it’s not all written in Spanish. It’s written in Spanglish, so we end...

Video: ‘Keep Your Doctor, Change Your Senator’
by Tammy on January 5, 2014An excellent slogan from a new campaign ad for Dr. Monica Wehby, who’s running against entrenched Senate Democrat Jeff Merkley of Oregon. Considering the disaster of ObamaCare/Cover Oregon , this is exactly the message to send. Via Weekly Standard. Democrat Jeff Merkley of Oregon probably isn’t the first sitting senator Republicans think they can defeat this November. After beating incumbent Republican Gordon Smith in 2008 by 3 percentage points, Merkley appears safe in his seat. In 2012 Oregon voted for Barack Obama by more than 12 points, and the Cook Political Report rates the Senate race as “solid Democratic.” Merkley is a dedicated liberal who fits a state increasingly defined by its biggest city, the insufferably hip and progressive Portland....

Obamacare: Frustrated Patients Walk Out of Hospitals Without Treatment
by Tammy on January 3, 2014As someone once said (me): “Having health insurance is not the same as getting healthcare.” Via Daily Mail: ‘They had no idea if my insurance was active or not!’: Obamacare confusion reigns as frustrated patients walk out of hospitals without treatment. MailOnline spoke with patients who were told they would have to pay their bills in full if they couldn’t prove they had insurance. One was faced with a $3,000 hospital room charge and opted to leave the hospital after experiencing chest pains. ‘Should I be in the hospital? Probably,’ she said. Another, coughing in the cold, walked out without receiving a needed chest x-ray Consumers face sticker-shock from medical costs under the new Obamacare system, made worse if they...

Signing Up For Obamacare? First, Read the Fine Print!
by Shifra on December 19, 2013Excellent “catch” by Edward Morrissey, regarding the continuing Obamacare fiasco. (And he provides a clear definition of the difference between Medicaid and Medicare.) via Yahoo Finance: The Obamacare ‘Shotgun Wedding’ — Marry or Lose Your Home ….Instead of designing a solution that focused on the half of the 15 percent who needed better options and leaving everyone else alone, Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill insisted on imposing an overhaul of the entire health-insurance industry. This includes, crucially, an unprecedented individual mandate to carry health-insurance coverage. The ACA contains a highly-complex series of subsidies that help working-class Americans pay the now-skyrocketing premiums caused by coverage mandates on insurers, but only down to a certain income level. Below...

Full-Blown Panic: HHS Wants ObamaCare “Retroactive Insurance”
by Tammy on December 14, 2013In another indication of the chaos surrounding the White House and ObamaCare, HHS issued new ‘requests’ of insurance companies, including the bizarre suggestion that they issue ‘retroactive’ insurance. What exactly is “retroactive insurance?” Here’s how Obama’s regime envisions the scheme: Sebelius “strongly encouraged” insurers to pay for prescriptions in January that were covered under policyholders’ old plans but not under their new Obamacare plans. She requested that insurers bill some out-of-network care as in-network care. But the most unusual request by far was that insurers allow people to “retroactively” sign up for coverage effective January 1 anytime next month. “We’re encouraging [insurers] to offer retroactive coverage,” Michael Hash, director of HHS’s office of health reform, told reporters on a Thursday...
