Democratic Congressman Admits Obamacare Won't Work (After Announcing Retirement)
"I don’t think we’re going to get enough young people signing up to make this bill work as it was intended to financially," warned Democrat Virginia Representative Jim Moran. The Democrat, as The Daily Caller reports, seemingly daring to break ranks with his peers, added that he understood Millennial lack of signing up as "frankly, there’s some legitimacy to their concern because the government spends about $7 for the elderly for every $1 it spends on the young." This stunning declaration, of course, fits with the narratives that most mathematically-capable human beings can comprehend but starkly refutes the hopes and dreams of the President's healthcare policy... The reason that Jim Moran could be so honest... after 12 terms of toeing the lying line, he has announced his retirement.
A top House Democrat slammed Obamacare’s inability “to work” — but only after he announced his impending retirement from Congress.
12-term Virginia Rep. Jim Moran, an Appropriations Committee member who said this month that he will not seek re-election in 2014, said that not enough young people are signing up for Obamacare coverage to make the law work.
“I’m afraid that the millennials, if you will, are less likely to sign up. I think they feel more independent, I think they feel a little more invulnerable than prior generations. But I don’t think we’re going to get enough young people signing up to make this bill work as it was intended to financially,” Moran said in an interview with WAMU American University Radio.
“And, frankly, there’s some legitimacy to their concern because the government spends about $7 for the elderly for every $1 it spends on the young,” Moran said.
“I just don’t know how we’re going to do it frankly. If we had a solution I’d be telling the president right now,” Moran said.
Moran voted for President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which depends on young healthy “invincibles” to sign up for health insurance exchanges to offset the high number of older, sicker people that drive rates up and make Obamacare plans more expensive.

Perhaps there is a lesson in this for all of us - do not trust a politician until he has retired (and we suggest - not even then).

EX CIA head admitted aliens exist.... if that proves anything ..

Moran,Weiner, Boner...I'm starting to get the feeling these ass clowns seek political office because they were made fun of since 1st grade
I think there's something to your hypothesis. They grow up being made fun of because they're obvious tools, but once they gain elective office, it's payback time!
Yeah but usually us picked on geeks are good at maths. Not these clowns apparently.
Looks like a Congressman finally got a brain:

It looks in the case of Moran the saying 'Nomen est omen' doesn't apply.
(After Announcing Retirement)
Well.....that's one down.
Just goes to show that Obamacare is simply another money grab by the egregious generation.
Whereas the Millenials are voting with their “aren’t you dead yet” silence.
It won't work because it's structurally flawed.
It is working flawlessly as intented.
It's just that what they tell you it should do is not what it was designed to do.
Moran and the rest of the treasonous assholes can rot in Hell!
Hollywood for ugly people.
Young people have gone Gault. They don't know Gault from butkis, but they organically sense, correctly, that they are the last in on a ponzi.
Virginia, my state, has gone to the ass clowns, both red and blue flavored. Absolute tools and if you didn't know, Cantor, also is from Northern Virginia. They have betrayed the proud history of the founders who came from this beautiful area.
I'm sorry, but you're too close to DC. Well within the blast radius of statist control. You're fucked. Get out. We can't help you when you're that close.
I work in DC. Front row seat to the circus
Praytell, doing?
Canter is AIPAC/NeoCon/NWO.
Math and politics go together like reason and bullshit.

Worth the quick view.
and Moran voted for Obamacare
Yes. Of course. Young people will not sign up.
Now...let´s see if we can exercise that logical thinking. The next step will the be-----------------------
Submit your answers. Don´t be afraid. Just shout them out as they come to mind.
He has announced his retirement.
With taxpayer funded pension and full health care for life.
We should throw him a going away party and get him a necktie hanging from a pole.
Hey, pretty much the whole world just collectively jacked off upon the death of Nelson Mandela who endorsed the technique of "necklacing" in pursuit of the aims of the ANC.
Maybe there will be someone who does the same for the complete bags of walking shit like Mr. Moran, then spend a few years in prison, be released and celebrated upon HIS death as if he was the second cuming.
Ya think?
No, I'm not one for violence. I prefer that Mr. Moran is stripped of all his property, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, and frog marched off to prison for the rest of his life and every last member of his immediate family be denied any such benefit of the man's decades of colusion in fucking over this country. Make him sit in a cell and rot eating nothing but the bare minimum and water and force his spawn to go work for a living.
There are no innocents in this matter. Fuck his wife, fuck his kids, and everyone else for that matter. Hell make THEM pay his 30 some years of salary back to the Treasury.
Oh, wait nix that. It's juts giving cash back to the criminals.
This is even more OUTRAGEOUS he's getting the orange jump suit and we still have to pay him!
Jesse Jackson Jr. still eligible for government pension, disability pay
Ex-congressman Jackson is eligible to receive $8,700 dollars per month in disability pay due to his bipolar condition and could receive a partial federal pension of $45,000 per year once he reaches 65.
http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?id=9206552
$100,000 per year for being bipolar? Wow, must be nice being a government man.
That works out to $50k per pole. I'm unipolar, where's my $50k?
"$100,000 per year for being bipolar?"
Hmmm, how easy is it to act bipolar? Not knowing makes me really depressed. But I feel so great today because it's a beautiful day. But I'm sure tomorrow will suck.
Will I get $200,000 if I'm also schizophrenic? Surely I will! No, you won't! Shut up!
When these corrupt whores retire, don't they also get to keep all of the bribes, oops, er, excess funds held by their campaign organizations?
It depends how well your creative (1%) accountant accounts for "speaking engagements" and "consulting work".
Also, pretty sure that congressional, insider trading exemption does not expire.
knukles, you should be all over this one. More rightfully so one would think.
He has announced his retirement.
With taxpayer funded pension and full health care for life.
A lot of good that's going to do for him when his 6 figure income in US Dollars buys as much stuff as Zim Dollars.
Does not matter: The shitwads who make the news will fight for the right to toss O's salad till the end.
Young healthy people still didn't want overpriced insurance? Really? You don't say.
You can't make unicorns exist by creating a law mandating the existence of unicorns, no matter how many bumper stickers you put on your prius.
They want it if you're buying.
Young people stay on their parent's policy until age 26 so why would they buy anyway?
haha - go figger
got some asshole parks at the train station driving his low rider buick with several 'I Love Obamacare' stickers all over it. how you likin it now asshole.
Like having the mugger smile and wish you a nice day after he takes your money.
This isn't some act of contrition, this is him saying "Fuck you, America. Look what I can and did do to you. There's absolutely nothing you can do to stop it. And there's nothing you can do to me about it."
Go on take the money and run...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WCFUGCOLLU
12 terms says it all! These fucking assholes stay in a seat like a tick on a dog glad-handing you and bending over for lobbyists. Term Limits America!
Yeah!
Maybe you'll get to vote on that someday.
term limits would be meaningless.
Why don't we try them anyway? Can't be any worse than this shit show.
do you really want to set a precedant of just trying something for the sake of it because their last idiotic scheme didnt work?
In this case, yes. I'll take a flyer on this one and let the chips fall where they may.
Rash actions by our political 'masterminds' without appropriate planning creates things like Obamacare and Quantitative Easing. I dont know why anyone would think its different this time. It never is.
I think term limits are a great idea. One wrinkle I would put on it is that the individual could run for office again as long as they sat out for at least one term. If they are really that good, you could get them back in. The elected officials in my area are above average. By that I mean they don't do much, but they still get re-elected just because of the inertia.
That is the problem with no term limits.
Everyone knows ALL politicians are crooks.......except MY politician.
Frankly, there's no way of really knowing why they get re-elected, if you get my drift.
Forget 'new laws'.....let's go back to the old ones that work for a long, long time.....repeal the 17th Amendment. Once we regain the REPUBLIC, we can go from there.....
Good evening senator.
how about they pass a law that locks up a lawmaker that lies for longer than a harmless pot smoker. :-)
Kind of dare you to tell the truth.
easy solution, the politicians will raise the penalties,...oops...taxes (thanks Jon Roberts) for not buying insurance and criminalize non-compliance, and use the IRS to withdraw the money from the paychecks of those young uns lucky enuf to have a job. problem solved. you can thank me after the election.
And you can bet the NSA will help the IRS if they try to run
This is the chance of a lifetime to destroy the United States of America and rob every last cent from the populace. No way in hell is a financial problem going to stop Obamacare.
I'm sure they are drafting legislation right now to INCREASE the fines to make up for the shortfall.
A little late. Crime happened 101 years ago when you, we, were put into involuntary debt bondage in perpetuity.
Dumb fucking asshole.
YOU helped make it a law...its not a "bill" anymore.
Rings as hollow as the guy who architected the Patriot Act coming out and saying "whoah, this isn't what we intended!", doesn't it?
They break principles that have stood society in good stead for hundreds of years and then feign "shock" that things would go awry. Uh huh, right. They knew damned well what they were doing and what the consequences would be. When ultimate contol is your goal, it doesn't matter what stands in the way. Certainly not some moldy old piece of paper in a museum called the Constitution.
Bigpharmacare.
You mean this shit ain't free?
You mean this shit ain't free?
If you like free shit, you can continue getting free shit.
Why signup and get screwed over?
ANd to the people of Virginia for electing AND RE-ELECTING this walking virus piece of shit to Congress:
FUCK YOU AS WELL.
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
What is wrong with those people is the same damn thing wrong with far to many others from other states.
To lay it all at the feet of one asshole is a tad mis-guided. They all, for the most part, suck ASS.
Exactly. We can't forget that the cheeseheads continued to reelect Sensenbrenner, author of the so-called "patriot act." Or the California nuts reelecting Feinstein. etc.
Virginia is too close to DC. Well within the blast radius of the current brand of radical statism. They're fucked. Can't save everyone, sorry to say.
Americans are broke... incl. millenials.
You can pass an unread law, have crony Supreme Court capture, but in the final analysis this law was completely dependent on a healthy class of people who are financially broke. They simply cannot pay.
This administration wasn't smart enough to see the glaringly obvious. Someone was going to have to pay for Obamacare and that dumbfuck in the WH just didn't account for that.
I shall enjoy giving Obamacare it's well deserved eulogy. It won't be long now.
The good news is that after these scumbags retire if some crazed criminal puts a hole in their head - god forbid, of course - it won't be a federal crime anymore. Just your run of the mill homicide.
It's not going to work, they know it's not going to work, and instead of cutting (our) losses, these fucks are going to double-down.
It will morph into single payer. That was probably what they were after all along. Crazy like a fox.
It will morph into single payer. That was probably what they were after all along. Crazy like a fox.
That the only place it should go with cost control's!
no more secrects..
if you choose to be in the help(medical field you shoud make a great living not a 1% killing)
anything else is as charles h Smith is wasted friction (or profit for the inusrance company's, and CEOs of hospitals) stealing from the sick and helpless!
Where was he when the bill was being debated? Oh, and yeah, have someone be starting your car for you now........
Hey, asshole, could of used this while you were in office.
If you build it, they will leave
Moran has been a piece of shit since I lived in the DC area.
Yeah, a drunk one.
No lie, more than once during late recorded votes he has smelled like he shit himself or didn't wipe. I can think of about 5 Members about who that was sometimes true.
Oh please, this congressmen is leaving politics with a gold watch, and a big bag of money.
Making the statement that Obamacare was a mistake is nothing more than a confession on his part to clear his own conscience so that he can enjoy his retirement.
Maybe hope and change can pay for the young's high premiums?
Everyone is an enlightened, compassionate liberal.......until the bill comes due and THEY have to pay up.
Then, miraculously, they morph into a conservative. At least with their wallets.
We get the government we deserve.
They promise skittles and unicorns.
Well, they don't tell you skittles is the worst candy ever made, and unicorns are a euphemism for getting it up the ass. You don't want these things.
It's not a revenue problem, it's a spending problem.
The average salary of your local Pharmacist is $117,000.
Counting pills is not that hard a job and is indicative of how the medical profession as a whole has created false barriers to entry that prevent a competitive marketplace.
http://www.drugchannels.net/2013/05/pharmacist-salaries-hit-117k-and-kee...
uhmm....what about the 8 years of skool they attend plus residency/intern.....they must repay these loans somehow.
Military pharmacist is year.
Error rates are comparable.
Costs, not so much.
University is a false barrier to entry. The cost of university is a real barrier to entry.
I'm not saying anyone should work for free but I would say that in a competative environment, the average salary for a Pharmacist should be about $84,000 or $7,000 a month. This change alone would save the healthcare system about $5 billion a year.
As far as barriers, it's hard to find a job that you couldn't apprentice your way to competency in (of all the pharmacist assistants you see at your local drug store, in this case, surely one of them, after years of employment, could be promoted without a degree, right?), even though you wouldn't learn about Chaucer or be able to name all 209 bones in the body through rote repetition to be forgotten by most hours after the exam.
LMAO, 7:1? Its got to be much higher than that.
New trend..welcome..its just the start

Classic motherfucking politician. After he has been on the government "deluxe EBT program" by being in office for so many years, he collects his pension and loot, suddenly "gets religion" and confesses. What a cowardly fucking bastard slimeball.
This will change your world view forever:

Just wiat until people start dying because of this law...as they lose their healthcare from thier doctors that were managing them thru a difficult illness....then I bet the MSM will take notice...they will be all over it showing how people are dying because of Obamacare....NOT..I was just drreaming...they wll die..but no one will write about it...
I agree with not trusting the bastard. You need to wait and see what lobbying group he has already been pledged to when they have the pinning ceremony in 2015.
The White House needs 7 million healthy young people to join the health care exchanges within the first year of the law to keep premiums low for everyone under the Affordable Care Act. Many people see this botched roll-out of the Affordable Care Act or ‘Obamacare’ as an opening for Republicans to win over Hispanic “millennials” that make up 20 percent of those age18-to-29. They are this generation’s largest minority and as a whole their families are the most uninsured in the United States. More on why Obamacare may fail and bring the healthcare system to its knees in the post below,

12-term Virginia Rep. Jim Moran - you fucking voted for this misery.
you imposed pain on the masses when you knew it would fail
so here's my imposition on you - hope you and your family die a slow and miserable fucking death you cocksucker.
FUCK YOU JIM MORAN!!!!
Maybe Obama will sign them up himself and send them the bill. Then they can create derivatives etc. LOL.
WOW!! Jim Moron figured that all out by himself. A little clue, he's retiring because his reelection chances are zero, just like the chances of many of his socialist friends. The silent majority is going to have its say in November. A lot of heads are going to roll. (I HOPE!)
