The Obama Administration is Forcing Insurance Companies To Keep Quiet About Obamacare Problems

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

Just when you think the Obama Administration can’t stoop any lower they immediately come in and surprise you. In this incredible clip from CNN, we learn that insurance company executives are being threatened with retribution if they publicly criticize the rollout of ObamaCare, or inform the public about some of the most pressing issues with the disastrous healthcare plan.

In the most powerful part of the clip, Robert Laszewski, the President of Health Policy and Strategy Associates, LLC claims that healthcare executives warned the Obama Administration about severe problems with the rollout ahead of time, and that they were completely ignored. Our government in an inept mafia. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

 

I highlighted some of the issues with the plan back in June of last year in the piece: Thoughts on Obamacare from a Surgeon and Friend.

The most transparent administration ever launching the affordable care act.

Robert Laszewski. Thank you for speaking out against government intimidation tactics. It was nice knowing you. Please avoid my neighborhood while driving within the next few days. Wouldn't want any one here injured when your car blows up.

His name was Bob Laszewski...

So the insurance companies have been dumping the old pricing scheme for the windfall of higher priced renewals and new enrollments only to find that a whole lot of folks won’t go for the scam now even if and when they can fix the software.

Better for them to take the pipe now that to leech off the populace until the mechanics of the system fail and the state screws them over too by going single payer.

Everything insurance-wise is going to get more expensive.  How can letting people who can't pay for insurance, get gold plated insurance with additional layers of bureaucracy going to be anything but cost everyone more?  Fuck me, there has never been a better time to be poor.

As usual, the best way to combat Satanic demands is to refuse to support them in any way. No insurance, pay no taxes, Do not depend on the "them", speak out at every chance, and refuse to submit, no matter the cost.

Who the fuck is gonna sign up for this shit?
If I'm a person who wants insurance I stay with my carrier if I can.
If my carrier dumps me, I search about.
If I can't find something, I stay uninsured
I might just stay uninsured if dumped anyway.
If I never had insurance and or didn't want it, why not just pay the fine and be done with it.  Plus, many paying the fine already get an income credit tax refund thingamjigie.

Net net, whosoever thought this shit up is a fucking idiot.

The penalty, the onus falls squarely not upon employers, but the citizenry, employed and on permanent vacation (FSA)

Brilliant 
Fucking Brilliant.

There is noting but disincentives in the program.

If they were trying to fuck things up, they couldn't be doing a better job.  Meaning they're not trying to fuck it up or it wouldn't be this bad.

Whomever thought this up is brilliant.  How else could you get the people AND the insurance companies to go along with destroying the entire healthcare industry in order to bring about a single payer socialist system that provides lousy care and puts the insurance companies out of business?

Seriously, it is brilliant.

They need young healthy people in the pool for it to work (duh). But if I was young I would pay the penalty (cheaper than the premiums); pay for my own care (rarely needed); then if something bad happened sign up from the ambulance on my way to the hospital.

Luckily I live in Australia which still maintains a few shreds of a viable society.

For all the fat statistics out there, America has a weird dualism where roughly a third are fatties and a third are near-olympic levels of being fit (go to a suburban or urban gym, go to some areas where everyone is a damn runner or biker).  So yes, the fatties will have a rough go of it in the scenario you just masterbated to.  However, folks like me (73 inches tall, 185 lbs, big in the shoulders/thighs and arms and thin in the middle) will be just fine.  The guns just add insurance.

Sure, I won't use my guns. Come to my house and try to break in. Or as WB7 likes to put it, "Jump, fuckers."

But I'm a helluva lot smarter than you think. If I go into the local .gov offices and start shooting the place up, I take out several functionaries. And then some big army of thugs come and take me out. And the functionaries get replaced by other functionaries on the very next day. The only way we're going to take this country back is to work together. If thousands of us, hundreds of thousands of us, take our guns with us and are willing to use them....then we can affect some change against TPTB. Otherwise it is just a suicide mission. When we get a critical mass, and Obamacare and the attempt at gun control may just be the overreach we need for that, then things will happen. And it won't be pretty. But it won't be a suicide mission either.

So I'm a bitch lazy asshole. At least I'm not a non-thinking dumb ass like you.

Okay, now I begin to understand some of the objections non-Americans have to our second amendment.  But rest assured, the vast majority of gun owners (and NRA members) have a much more even keel than your post.  We HAVE to.  Guns are not posting to a blog.  People can really get hurt.

But rest assured...if there is a time when the guns need to come out, they will.  We're not there yet and, God willing, we'll avoid it entirely.

I've been calling out these little Rambos for years.  Most of which have never had a bullet whizz by their head much less a hailstorm of them. 

But you're exactly right.  The Founding Fathers are absolutely ASHAMED of what we have become.....what slaves and serfs and cowards and liers we have become.  There is WAY more tyranny now than what sparked the Revolution.  If not now when?

And what defense do you have against an administration with 24/7 eyes and ears on you.....with the 3 billion round ammo stack and the para-miltary forces in each and every state called SWAT and SPECIAL RESPONSE FORCES.....not to mention National Guard and then regular military if it gets REALLY bad for Corp/Fed.

And that's the key as well to these fantasy Rambo-John McClane Die Hard types.  It's not JUST government.....it's just about EVERY corporation out there as well you'll have to do battle with.  Your servitude is their paycheck.  Mess with that and you WILL have every force known to man come after you because it has been and will alway be about money.  That's the only the thing worth dying and more importantly KILLING for.  Even if Corp. in Corp./Fed has to hire private snuff firms like Blackwater to do it.

Fuck you and your guns.  They and you are ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS.  Boastful useless fucks.

I'm sure the farmers who fought our first and only (so far) revolution never "had a bullet whizz by their head" either, but they sure did o.k. making the most powerful army in the world say "fuck it".  As weak as you think all of us are, crisis tends to bring out more heros than cowards.

I shoot USPSA with some SWAT guys.  Most can't hit the broad side of a barn; and while well muscled from doing their arm curls and bench presses, have shitty functional fitness.  When more than a handful of cops start doing power cleans, squats, deadlifts, and Crossift-style conditioning and improve their rapid fire accuracy, I'll start to worry.

Too bad the youth are unemployed and unemployable, competing with latin americans who get free college while the second class Americans are saddled with permanently unpayable student loan debt. So who is going to pay for this unaffordable care? Look for 250 million without health insurance before this is over. that should have some negative effects on our mortality rate as "developed" "nation." The muzzies won't have much left when they take over the carcass of this "superpower."

Saying lating americans get free college is like saying cubans get free health care.   It's a case where starting with crap does not yield compost but more crap.   Few will be without insurance because (as planned) they will end up signing on the gov. website for the expensive plans with massive supplements - all paid for by debt, of course.

Effectively, you don't need insurance.

You really can sign up from your smart phone in the ambulance if anything happens.

Well, I mean, you could, if ANYONE could sign up, which for now, you can't really ... lol.

IDEOLOGY is brimming over on this one. It doesn't matter what happens or how you get there, it's the thought (or absence thereof) that counts ...

Tell someone whose house just burned down (ours did 10 years ago), "You don't need insurance."   Or someone seriously injured in a car accident, or someone surviving a tornado or hurricane.  You don't buy insurance because you need it - you buy it because you MIGHT need it. It's all about risk - if you are certain you will never get sick, be a victim, have an accident or have bad weather then you are right, insurance is not needed.

If it was such a fucking great system, why can't Obamacare stand on it's own?  Why does it have to be a mandatory scenario supported by the threat of force?

It truly only helps a very small percentage of the public - and hurts the vast majority.  Tell me, where is all this money really going?

I didn't realize that if your insurance is not with one of the right carriers you pay a penalty.  A friend (consultant) was sent a bill ($100) for not having the "right" kind of insurance.  You are absolutely correct - good ideas stand on their own and don't require massive force.

These insurers are like the 1930s French.  They're throwing raw meat to the crocodiles in the hopes that they'll be eaten last.  Cowards.  They need to expose the threats and dictatorial actions of this administration for all to see, not hide under the bed like whimpering children.

They'll all be eaten alive soon because Obama's plan is for Obamacare to fail, where the obvious solution to his clusterfart will be to implement a single payer system that has no need for free-market insurance companies or health care professionals at all. 

Voilà, 100% government run health care, comrades.

"The ratio of the Dow to gold in 2013 was ____, now its ____!"

A personalistic dictatorship primarily does not collapse for economic reasons or a lack of internal order. The messianic figurehead is too revered by his base. Self-indulgence and paranoia of the dictator and his collaborators are most often at the heart of the process of breakdown. And this administration is by far the most paranoid in our history. Nixon was a piker in comparison.

Black , white. It's not his color, its his persona.
He is clearly an effeminate who surrounds himself with women due to his need to me nurtured and fawned upon.

Kagan, Sebelius, Pritzker, Sotomayor, Rice, Jewell, Jarrett. The list of mommy figures goes on and on. He clearly feels more secure with women and around men he feels threatened.

There are deep rooted psychological issues which are starting to manifest themselves now that he is under quite a bit of pressure.

You're the dumb fucking fool.
This is as far hard away as you can get for single payer & that means you'll never see it.
Single payer's what we have in CANADA.
That means people can IMMIGRATE.
it also means people can see there's no room for the insurance racket, no room for high prices, very little room for fraud except at the contractor level & it's usually only over admin costs in this office or that, or for some equipment. Easily caught.
No, this is all about the gravy train, same as for the big banks or Monsanto. Single payer ends the gravy train & that's impossible. The insurance companies WROTE every word of this legislation. This is to their benefit alone which means single-payer is erased forever.

Yeah, well, I'm a shill for me, and my insurance policy--which I liked, but could just barely afford--was made illegal by Obama and congressional Democrats. And now the closest approximate policy Medica is allowed to offer me has a premiuim that's 84% higher.

Now I have no choice but to either go without insurance, or take the lowest, crappiest, most useless plan out there.

The most important person in America who wasn't vetted is Barack Obama. I'm guessing you were okay with that minor indiscretion though, so up yours for voting for him. I blame you for my situation too.

The fact that you can compute the increase to be 84% shows how ahead of the pack you are!  Maybe they can tell the avg sheeple that an 84% increase is actually a lower price and they'll believe it.  Go full-Orwell on it!
