Tyler Durden's picture




 

Presented with a stunned level of WTFness... the Obamacare Help-Line - available 24/7 is 1-800-318-2596 as we have been told a number of times by the President... it seems someone did not do their due diligence on what that telephone number's mnemomic is...

1-800-F U-CKYO

Indeed, Mr. President, 1-800-318-2596 to you too.

This would have been funny if they didn't have to ignore a number to make it work. I think someone is trying too hard... Also, to nitpick a little, this could  be read as "Fuck Yo," as in, "Fuck, yo, this ObamaCare thing is the shit."

Not a coincidence! 

UPDATED: Correction again to my earlier post. This is actually 28 to the 7th power so there is a 1 in 13,492,928,512 chance this is a coincidence. 26 letters plus 1 and zero per number field. Wow, I need a drink!

Did I do this right?

Update: Much better calculator here >>> http://www.mathsisfun.com/combinatorics/combinations-permutations-calculator.html

(So basically, out of 11,440 different combinations of the number XXX-XXXX using 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 and the 26 available letters in the English alphabet. it's just a strange coincidence.) BULLSHIT!

What is a permutation?

A permutation is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects, with regard to the order of the arrangement.


For example, suppose we have a set of three letters: A, B, and C. We might ask how many ways we can arrange 2 letters from that set. Each possible arrangement would be an example of a permutation. The complete list of possible permutations would be: AB, AC, BA, BC, CA, and CB.


When statisticians refer to permutations, they use a specific terminology. They describe permutations as n distinct objects taken r at a time. Translation: n refers to the number of objects from which the permutation is formed; and r refers to the number of objects used to form the permutation. Consider the example from the previous paragraph. The permutations were formed from 3 letters (A, B, and C), so n = 3; and each permutation consisted of 2 letters, so r = 2.


For an example that counts permutations, see Sample Problem 1.

What is a combination?

A combination is a selection of all or part of a set of objects, without regard to the order in which objects are selected.


For example, suppose we have a set of three letters: A, B, and C. We might ask how many ways we can select 2 letters from that set. Each possible selection would be an example of a combination. The complete list of possible selections would be: AB, AC, and BC.


When statisticians refer to combinations, they use a specific terminology. They describe combinations as n distinct objects taken r at a time. Translation: n refers to the number of objects from which the combination is formed; and r refers to the number of objects used to form the combination. Consider the example from the previous paragraph. The combinations were formed from 3 letters (A, B, and C), so n = 3; and each combination consisted of 2 letters, so r = 2.


Note that AB and BA are considered to be one combination, because the order in which objects are selected does not matter. This is the key distinction between a combination and a permutation. A combination focuses on the selection of objects without regard to the order in which they are selected. A permutation, in contrast, focuses on the arrangement of objects with regard to the order in which they are arranged.


For an example that counts the number of combinations, see Sample Problem 2.

What is the difference between a combination and a permutation?

The distinction between a combination and a permutation has to do with the sequence or order in which objects appear. A combination focuses on the selection of objects withoutregard to the order in which they are selected. A permutation, in contrast, focuses on the arrangement of objects with regard to the order in which they are arranged.


For example, consider the letters A and B. Using those letters, we can create two 2-letter permutations - AB and BA. Because order is important to a permutation, AB and BA are considered different permutations. However, AB and BA represent only one combination, because order is not important to a combination.


 

Using the Combination and Permutation Calculator: Sample Problems


Combination and Permutation Calculator | Frequently-Asked Questions


  1. How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, if each digit can be used only once? 

    Solution:

    The solution to this problem involves counting the number of permutations of 7 distinct objects, taken 3 at a time. The number of permutations of n distinct objects, taken r at a time is 

    nPr = n! / (n - r)! 
    7P3 = 7! / (7 - 3)! = 7! / 4! = (7)(6)(5) = 210

    Thus, 210 different 3-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. To solve this problem using the Combination and Permutation Calculator, do the following:

    • Choose "Count permutations" as the analytical goal.
    • Enter "7" for "Number of sample points in set ".
    • Enter "3" for "Number of sample points in each permutation".
    • Click the "Calculate" button.

    The answer, 210, is displayed in the "Number of permutations" textbox.

  2. The Atlanta Braves are having a walk-on tryout camp for baseball players. Thirty players show up at camp, but the coaches can choose only four. How many ways can four players be chosen from the 30 that have shown up? 

    Solution:

    The solution to this problem involves counting the number of combinations of 30 players, taken 4 at a time. The number of combinations of n distinct objects, taken r at a time is 

    nCr = n! / r! (n - r)! 
    30C4 = 30! / 4!(30 - 4)! = 30! / 4! 26! = 27,405

    Thus, 27,405 different groupings of 4 players are possible. To solve this problem using theCombination and Permutation Calculator, do the following:

    • Choose "Count combinations" as the analytical goal.
    • Enter "30" for "Number of sample points in set ".
    • Enter "4" for "Number of sample points in each combination".
    • Click the "Calculate" button.

    The answer, 27,405, is displayed in the "Number of combinations" textbox.

Here's a scenerio, if you believe this entire government is run by a very few people and this gov shutdown is all a ruse, then they are more than likely using it as a false flag into the 10/17 finally dead broke day. And with the truckers coming in this weekend , what better time to declare Martial Law this weekend in this region III (DC) we been hearing about? Run all week with some chaos and blam, system fail. It's all shaping up nicely for the NWO.

Now this news from Fukushima, Japan:

About 430 litres (113 gallons) of highly radioactive water spilled over a period of as much as 12 hours after a worker misjudged how much could be held by the tank, which is tilting because of an uneven location, Tepco spokesman Masayuki Ono told reporters.

------------------------------

Tilting? How long before the entire tank topples & empties into the Pacific?

You got lucky then. The real trouble starts when you log in. The system mirrors the one operating in MA, and it's a complete bureaucratic nightmare for the individual, plus higher premiums for mediocre or poor care in shiny, expensive, well equipped buildings owned by the profiteering insurance companies. They've got our number, alright...

Is it contempt for the people or just .gov incompetence? Either way, it's pretty disgusting. The brats are out of control, and out of their tiny little minds. Or maybe I'm losing my sense of humor. Possibly. But it's hard to see the funny side when .gov makes a complete arse of itself, and the American people. Mind you, it does equal the contempt Lois Lerner of the IRS showed by targeting political rivals - then lying about it - then exposed by email as a liar - then running off with her status and money intact. Bit$h. She should be prosecuted, fined and jailed.

Maybe as in doubling your healthcare premiums?

Actually I'm neutral on Obamacare. I don't think premiums will actually rise.  Economies of scale, etc. Certian to be some issues though as the plan gets rolled out.

The whole phone number thing is actually pretty childish but it was dumb not have the number also have a decent acronym. Like GET-WELL or something.

This phone number reveals the system's incompetence or contempt for good practice.  Either way, it bodes ill for the payers and patients. G'luck. Hope it works out for you.

Obviously this has been done purposely, the question is: what's the message? Is it a fuck you to the opponents or to the proponents?

 

@slightlyskeptical try to be more skeptical then. Obamacare is a bigger fail than Solyndra. Government has never ever provided a good service or product. Quality and low prices come from the (free?) market. The only thing governments do is waste resources and provide crappy services.

Here is what I think will happen.  Being in medical field, I am trying to project into the future what the impact will be.  What I am predicting at this point is that everyone will pay and no one will receive meaningful medical care.  By that, I mean, surgery will be delayed for years while pain killers are handed out. 

Misdiagnoses and shortages of care providers and medical supplies (48 million new patients) will add to the delay along with a huge line to the grave.   "Assistants" will begin to administer care.

Copays/deductibles will be eaten up before you are treated so the next year, you start all over again with a new deductible. 

The cost of this healthcare will be shouldered by the middle class who will end up in the ghetto in their attempt to pay all their bills.  No other insurance will be available eventually except for the very upper crust who will be able to pay for concierge medical care (offered now at 3000 a year for a medical visit to an internist).  Anesthesiologists, specialists/surgeons will book their calenders with the patients who have the ability to pay the most first...
