NBC News: White House Has Known For At Least 3 Years Millions Would Lose Coverage Due to ObamaCare

I wonder how big this new tax is really going to cost us.

To be fair looking at how Obamacare is written…
A good chunk of the costs were to be shifted from those who are old and sick to the young and healthy.

This kinda explains these Obamacare ads fsh found last week:








How  long do you think it will take for the kiddos to figure out the way go is to buy insurance only when they get sick as they can’t be denied  with a pre-existing condition?

That's a mighty good question.

By 2016, there will be even more dead voting.

News Buzzard wrote:"...Republicans aren't really concerned about people losing health insurance. Their main goal is to embarrass Obama.

Republicans can do that by doing nothing at all!

 

News Buzzard wrote:I'll be honest!

Why start now?

News Buzzard wrote:I believe the standards spelled out in that last paragraph are very important to make this law work. There are too many good things about Obamacare to be sidetracked by this nonsense of what Obama did or didn't say or mean. Like I said, this political theater will be short lived!

How can you say short lived!, when all the IT guys are saying, "The site is too easy to hack"?

I can't believe you, either!

 

News Buzzard wrote:"...The Republicans were behaving like children today at the hearing. Is it more important to embarrass Obama then to provide coverage for a cancer patient who can't get health insurance? Any one of us can become a victim of a pre-existing condition!

To LIVs, Obama hasn't embarrassed himself...

"The White House on Wednesday declined to challenge an account in a new book that suggests that President Obama, in his campaign to overhaul American health care, mischaracterized a central anecdote about his mother’s deathbed dispute with her insurance company.

During his presidential campaign and subsequent battle over a health care law, Mr. Obama quieted crowds with the story of his mother’s fight with her insurer over whether her cancer was a pre-existing condition that disqualified her from coverage.

In offering the story as an argument for ending pre-existing condition exclusions by health insurers, the president left the clear impression that his mother’s fight was over health benefits for medical expenses.

But in “A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother,” author Janny Scott quotes from correspondence from the president’s mother to assert that the 1995 dispute concerned a Cigna disability insurance policy and that her actual health insurer had apparently reimbursed most of her medical expenses without argument..."

Yes...THAT New York Times...

CBS News has been one of the press outlets totally willing to expose the disaster that is the ObamaCare rollout.

On Monday, Sharyl Attkisson did a fabulous report on the CBS Evening News revealing that “four days before the launch the government took an unusual step: it granted itself a waiver to launch the website with a level of uncertainty deemed as a high security risk”

SCOTT PELLEY, HOST: Today the federal healthcare website went down again for about an hour and a half. No one is sure why. It's being taken offline on purpose every morning in the wee hours from 1:00 to 5:00 for repairs. Millions are still having trouble buying insurance on it, and it turns out that even when the website works it may not be secure enough to protect privacy. Sharyl Attkisson has been digging into this.

SHARYL ATTKISSON: As Healthcare.gov was being developed, crucial tests to ensure the security and privacy of customer information fell behind schedule. Our analysis found that the deadline for final security plans slipped three times from May 6 to July 16. Security assessments to be finished June 7 slid to August 16 then the 23rd. The final required top-to-bottom security tests never got done.

The House Oversight Committee released an Obama administration memo that shows four days before the launch the government took an unusual step: it granted itself a waiver to launch the website with a level of uncertainty deemed as a high security risk. Agency head Marilyn Tavenner accepted the risk and mitigation measures like frequent testing and a dedicated security team. But three other officials signed a statement saying "that does not reduce the risk of launching October 1."

Georgetown Law professor Lawrence Gostin is a big supporter of the Affordable Care Act. He helped Congress write the law to meet constitutional standards, but he's critical of the launch without proper security.

LAWRENCE GOSTIN, GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY: Nothing can undermine public confidence more than the fear of a security and privacy breach. You could have somebody hack into the system, get your Social Security number, get your financial information.

ATTKISSON: Healthcare.gov exchanges data through a massive hub that includes the IRS and Social Security Administration to verify income and identity, and Veterans Affairs for military personnel who receive special benefits. Last week at a Congressional hearing, Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius told Democrat G.K. Butterfield that Americans have no reason to worry.

CONGRESSMAN G.K. BUTTERFIELD (D-NORTH CAROLINA): Do you have confidence in these and other measures you are taking to protect the security of Americans’ personal information?

KATHLEEN SEBELIUS, SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES: I do, sir.

ATTKISSON: While officials try to fix all the problems with the website, internal notes released today from a government meeting last week reflect a new concern: that the medium may begin to follow customer experiences and in some cases, CMS fears, there are fewer health insurance options than would be desired and quote "relatively high-cost plans."

PELLEY: Sharyl Attkisson in our Washington newsroom. Sharyl, thank you.
