Fact Or Fiction: Obama Declares "Mission Accomplished" On Affordable Care Act
Fact or Fiction?
After a series of minor inconveniences like a website that wouldn’t work, millions of people losing their preferred coverage and many of the laws key components being postponed, the April 1st deadline for signing up for Obamacare has come and gone, and the President is in a celebratory mood.
Being wheeled in on a wheelchair to make a show of how so many more Americans now have access to healthcare, Obama declared an end to Major Signup Operations in healthcare. He began his speech by saying “Today, we can all see the wisdom of operation insurance freedom.”
He then went on to say that the lack of availability of health insurance for so many in America was “like a weapon of mass destruction” to our economy, and that what the ACA brought forth was “regime change against the axis of evil of health insurers and pharmaceutical companies”
One reporter asked the President if perhaps the celebration was premature, since so much of the law has yet to go into effect, and nobody can say whether the new regime will in fact be better than the old one. Responding in that cute way that makes us forget so many of our other disappointments with him, Obama responded by saying “don’t be a party pooper.”

Obama don't be a knee grow.
Pelosi declared today that all of the jobs lost in the Bush recession have now been replaced.
Mission Accomplished!
Seriously...check out the Huff post. I'd go back and get the link but I just ate
Nancy Pelosi: We've Finally Filled The George Bush Jobs Hole
Poor Mr. Pelosi having to fill hers. (Gaaag)
Not a good mental picture..........
May an onion grow in her baby bump, and catch her off balance.
Some of the best parties I think I remember attending had no connection to reality or sane behavior whatsoever, too.
Tyler, why do you troll your own readers so hard?
"Fact or Fiction" is hardly an applicable title for satire.
Though, to be honest, this fiction is likely every bit as factual as the Op-Ed that Donna Brazille wrote today about Obama vs. Putin.
If these scumbags had to only state the truth, they would all burst into flames. Broom Hilda would be the first to go poof...
When will we be able to say mission accomplished by replacing all the jobs lost in the Obummer jobs hole?
You dare question der Fuhrer?
You vill be shot!
The need to shoot people is greatly reduced as Operation Idiocracy and the Pharmacological Revolution have been so successful.
Operation "Insurance Freedom."
Well, it's official then... we've been enslaved by Bankster insurance corporate fronts.
She makes scum look appealing. This women is the sweat on my balls after a good workout .
"Mission Accomplished" alright!

Obamacare: Was the ACA a planned legislative disaster?These people are absolutely crazy. They must live in an alterante universe to utter such nonsense.
Re: absolutely crazy
Not really, smart-n-savvy really.
The job of the Teams is to manipulate their dumbasses with bullshit. There's specific packages of bullshit that work on each Team's true-believers.
And the Blue Team (D)umbasses respond to this particular package of bullshit.
Really....so that's why clowngress approval rating is under 10%, and the Messiah himself has all-time record low near Bush approval numbers? I don't think it's working as well as you think.
and yet the torture goes on... almost as if to mock the people.
Re: I don't think it's working as well as you think.
Are you trying to tell me in 2 years time the (D)umbasses and (R)etards on here won't be arguing about how _____________ is better than _______________ because of __________________?
About 30% of the human brains are configure for authority worshipping kick-ass daddy fascism (who the Red Team supplies the bullshit for) and another 30% of the human brains are configured for authority worshiping smothering-mommy socialism (who the Blue Team supplies the bullshit for).
Why do you think we've been in a (R)etard and (D)umbass loop for about 100 years? Nobody is thinking. We just believe what our brains are configured to do.
I'm afraid you're wrong about that. It's more like 90% are authority-worshipping-bootlicks, with about a 60/40 split between nanny-state totalitarianism and fascist totalitarianism. Those who truly desire freedom are a tiny minority. :-(
Sad...but true.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of H. sapiens sapiens are, in reality, little more than dimwitted herd animals- which means that those of us who truly understand and cherish the concept of liberty will, for the foreseeable future, have no other choice but to continuously invent ways to circumvent the insane edicts of that most evil of evils which the herd has been trained to worship since birth- ie, the government.
The proof might be in the pudding. We elected Teleprompter in cheif TWICE!
SILVER BITCHEZ!!!!
Was that Kathleen Sebelius I just saw spiking the punch?

I think I've heard "Mission Accomplished" from another President, that regretted it, I just can't paint the picture of who...
Mission Accomplished in political terms means another decade of corruption, waste, deception and lies
Bush backed off Mission Accomplished a little.....Obama is going full tilt retard.
What you are remembering is the lie presented by the media.
The "Mission Accomplished" banner Bush was photographed under referred to the ship on which he was speaking, which had accomplished its mission in relation to Iraq. It was not Bush claiming he had accomplished his mission.
Looks like you bought that MSM lie hook, line and sinker.
Gimme a friggin' break, you're saying Bush posed in front of that sign BY MISTAKE? Admit it, your man was a total friggin's disaster who started these disastrous wars. And yes I think Obomba is just as big a disaster.
FUCKEN clown and a liar.
The association of professional clowns resents your assertion that Obama lives up to the standards of AOPC.
I hated that prostrate exam anyway. I really, really hated it. Get your finger out of my asshole please. We all have to die some day anyway.
It takes a special sort of genius to equate healthcare with an anal probe.
(Disclaimer: I'm against the Fed being involved in health-care, including OldFart health-care, but I think the states should provide it.)
I was somewhat surprised that only 6 million people are considered a success.
I thought there was something like 30 or 40 million people without health insurance.
It is even worse. Lots of people were thrown out of their old health care because of the new mandates. The result is that the 6 million as low and fabricated as it is does not include the number of health care plans disolved. I do not know of any person personally who has signed up for obamacare. But to be fare I do not know anyone who admits to ever voting for Obama in the first place.
Success? Yes they were able to get the people who lost their jobs and health care from the Bush era, all of their jobs and health care back. I think its a great success.......... WE have to pass it to know whats in it, you can keep your health care if you want and I can see Russia from my house...... Holy shit this whole government is wacked, full retard.. Abandon Ship
7.1 million "uninsured"
3 million became uninsured when their policies were prematurely cancelled due to obamacare requirements
another 2 million likely havent paid their premium
another 2 million who signed up that were medicaid eligible (wouldve gotten coverage anyway)
so essentially nobody signed up
Mrs. Free and I used to have good health Insurance. It went away because of Obi Care and now we have none. We will NOT be participating in this latest statist scam. EOFS!
[edit-add for NSA] We are using the savings to buy bullets!
There might be something clinical going on with this guy.
Obamacare destroyed as much of the US economy as it possibly could have so I guess Obama, TOTUS of the NWO, can claim that it was a success.
Oh, boy. The shit piles up so fast. I think we're gonna need a bigger pooper scooper.
Lets see here, 4-6 million insurance policies cancelled and its spike the ball time in "saying" you have 7 million signed up, although of that seven million, you CAN'T SAY how many are young or old or who have paid or how many are actually MediCare signups or how many are getting a taxpayer funded subsidy...because, ya know, its the "Affordable Care Act".
No wonder the tech & healthcare sectors have been selling off...Mission Accomplished!
Well done ;-)
Who are you gonna believe me or your lying eyes?
Mine , is still in the cart.
It was no doubt counted as part of that 7 million figure.
More uninsured people in the US today than when Obamacare was passed...you're doing a heck of a job Brownie!
More slanted numbers from our gubmint. If obie says it, it is a lie. I am blessed. I am an ex mil/ind complex employee, retired. USAF, forgive me, I was young and came from a long line of miltary family members. The good news is my family gets decent medical coverage for life. The bad news is I am stuck in the VA system which sucks ass. No o'care for this family...til they renig (pun intended and yes, I know how it is really spelled) on my retirement contract. Probably not even then. Fuck the .gov. I'd gladly give up my benefits for some freedom.
So a former gov't employee who was paid by the gov't and is still paid by the government and has government provided medical care says "fuck .gov (?)"
Thanks for your service sir, but your hypocrisy is absolutely breathtaking.
'Healthcare for The Peasants' Destroyed - Mission Accomplished!
Well, if 'peasants' are the working middle class, then yes.
Sounds about right.
Fact is scarier than fiction these days.
The only good news at this point, regarding this asshat, is that we are closer to the end of his rein of terror, than we are to the beggining of his rein of terror. Three more years...
Re: Three more years...
Care to speculate who is next and will end the terror?
A new face of terror will be refreshing. I don't care who it is, just as long as it's someone different. I'm tired of looking at this assholes face.
Unfortunately, I think that's the only choice we get.
at which point we'll get another puppet-in-chief. your point was...?
Change is hopeless. Corzine 2016!

Wasn't he saying to buy yesterday? You know it's bad when people follow a guy who changes his story one day to the next.

That's how you never get caught short.
Nothing he does or says surprises me anymore.
Our entire government is run by psychopaths.
So they paid big bucks to Promote it right, and we know that the click farms, are happy to take your money for moving their little fingers. i am sure they were able to stuff the ballot box's with a few zillion phony registrations for a couple measly Million which of course required a small kickback to the democratic reelection Committee
ObaMao sez there's a party in his mouth and everyones comin'!
The thing is, this guy will be completely out of office and doing 500k-a-pop dinners and speechs when the ACA's premiums and mandate tax rise and piss of the majority of the people.
Kinda really goes to show how out of touch and political class in DC is.
Would a ruler rule different if we would elect that ruler to rule for life ?
Just wait until all those poor and sick people have to start paying the premiums and the paying the average $6000 deductible. I think they will be getting pissed off long before he is out of office, not to mention all the workers who will lose their jobs or have their hours cut when the employer mandate kicks in, assuming it isn't extended beyond the end of his term.
P.S. Who in their right mind would pay 500k to listen to him? People are already sick of seeing his mug in front of the TV every day.
A douche leading a bunch of douche bags. If Nietzche was alive today he'd be writing stuff like Beyond CNN and Fox and his magnum opus: Will to Impotence
Let me guess, this was the lead story from The Onion?
I'd tell you there's an insightful link at the end of the post, but that might spoil the fun Tyler is having.
He plays the crowd like a master manipulator.
That is what passes for party pooping? What is my premium gonna be in a year or two since many of the uninsured are in poor health and have pre-existing conditions that have gone untreated for years. The healthy young people are not biting, so I am in for a big premium jump. The pushed out the worst shit of the ACA in hopes that it would take by then and be harder to repeal.
7 million enrolled... is that individuals or families? Out of how many households in this nation of 330 million?
WHAT A FUCKING UNSUBSTANTIATED FUCKING JOKE!
At least Bush Jr. landed on an aircraft carrier when he declared his mission accomplished. Where has Obama landed? Not that it made a difference either way.
The hubris is so fucking nauseating. Someone just go out and do a Fort Hood on these m'fers. It would not make one fucking difference if the current hand puppet Obama couldn't attend anymore "meetings" or declare anymore "missions" accomplished.
Ok let's put this in to context here:) People did get insurance but what they kind they got, well the algos are still out on that. As matter of fact that's Obamacare is a bunch of screwed up algorithms that don't play with each other, unlike the algorithms that play well and take your money and rip you off on the markets with HFT. High five by the way for the great coverage there, that story needs to be told over and over and over.
This is a start as you are going to find crap code in all kinds of other places too, like where I am in Healthcare. Don't even get me started on health insurance claims algorithms! They're nasty little critters too. They cost you money you too when you see what I call questionable formulas. Right now health insurers are hiring quants at a rate I have never seen before, looking to pull the white rabbit out of the hat.
I wrote a post about Obamacare "I't those damn Killer Algorithms. I coined that and now I see folks searching for a book by that name so I better start writing one maybe:) It made a splash alright with 5000 hits in a day and that's big for me being a niche healthcare blogger that crosses over here once in a while because it's all the same thing, "dirty code" and math models that lie. Healthcare and financials are connected as look at how they trade on the exchanges:)
http://ducknetweb.blogspot.com/2014/02/those-damn-killer-algorithms-keep...
Yeah they all go nuts over numbers and that's because can't tell anymore where the virtual world ends and the real world begins. If you watch the Quants of Wall Street documentary, Mike Osinski who wrote the sub prime software that the banks used and abused (he wrote a good program but as you all know there's no control with what users do with it either) and he was out of it before the major crap rolled down. "With software you can do something about everything" and right now that seems to fit real good with talk on HFT. It's code. This is where Nanex shines as it takes time but eventually the queries can match up with arrays of data and when the model lying about risk, well that shortens up the life span too. I keep the Quant video in my footer of my blog permanently along whit 3 others so if folks stumble down to the bottom of my site, well they might learn something as the videos are at levels where the layman can get something out of it. When Paul Wilmott tells you what a hedge fund is with using 100 bottles of beer for an example, people can get that plus its a little entertaining.
You can't blame Obama for taking on the insurance business and every corner the insurers had it made as they had quants that know how to model around the verbiage in laws, been doing it for years just like Wall Street and that's the problem.
Months, days, etc. are spent on legal verbiage while in the meantime quants work to create models that don't violate that verbiage but the code can run hog ass wild as nobody understand what' the heck is going on behind closed server doors with code running 24/7 making life impacting decisions about all of us. At one point during the Healthcare. Gov roll out, Obama even said he couldn't write code..so I give slack there, but I am still dislike the fact that he chose Sebelius to run HHS. I'm not that smart but I kicked in the teeth back in 2009 for this post...please put someone else in charge as give it a few years, health IT will run her over...and it did...and she irritates me no end with her strange perceptions as she still believes in algo fairies and after this week with HFT does anything really still believe in them:) What I wrote in 2009 and I got another one of those for DeParle too where I said does either one of those 2 have enough business intelligence to set this law up? It's not totally their fault outside of dumb non digital tech perceptions as again the insurance companies have it all over the government because they can model for profit with models that hide or adjust risk to do that.

http://ducknetweb.blogspot.com/2009/03/nancy-ann-deparle-and-kathleen-se...
So what did I know back in 2009? I'm not that smart and don't go around trying to tout that but my mind is logical and the time I spent writing code I learned "data mechanics" so even I don't know a language or a process I can read about it and understand the logic.
Everyone repeating the enrollment numbers, it's like bunch of magpies out there but the news has done that too us as they are having financial issues and are working the ad exposure "click bait" and journos need to keep their jobs. Nobody predicted that with the news agencies but on the other hand you have all these cash rich companies that won't throw them a few dollars. Ok so what drives stock..news feeds...see the greed there too, they can't even do some serious advertising to keep the new agencies going either. So they all are looking for ad exposure to fill some revenue streams. Did you see what happened this week in New Jersey with major layoff at the papers? Take head because as the news agencies have to cut back, well it's bot that will be doing your news and I don't like that very much either but what do they do.
Check this out, I tried one of the programs on a free trial they had that takes my Google Analytics and writes a story for me..pretty good, but that's my Google stats and we don't want news done this way as it's cheaper for news agencies to get a hold of data bases, turn the bots loose to make a "data story" and gosh we are drowning in it already and it will get worse if we don't have some hard news guys and gals out there.
Did you get all excited with the news that CMS is going to put the data out there on doctors on what they get paid? It's a boom for the journos, not a consumer event as they will make news out of it as it's cheap to produce. When I wrote this post I think I may have accidentally upset Pro-Publica as I forgot they use Narrative Science too.
http://ducknetweb.blogspot.com/2014/04/hhs-to-release-data-from-cms-on-w...
It's a great world we have out here is is not. The poorer the newspapers get, let hard news and more data stories and they bot on the markets, well as more get in there how will they react...bot news for bot traders. God forbid the news bot makes a mistake on the news:) But it's ok as nobody will be responsible, as it will just be another glitch. Poor folks in the UK, bank over there this week had glitch that forget to pay their clients interest on their savings accounts...Killer Algorithms.
So let's give old Obama a little break here as after the law was in place, things came about that the algorithms created, they run around in places other than the markets. Who in the hell knows what kind of insurance policy they have..insurers were using their math profit models and changing the rules all the time. I don't care who's in that White House office the bots are moving in there too!
The scary thing is that we can't get enough eyes open to see the bots as they are so digital illiterate out there and have no cue how complex this is so insurers keep it complex as that's money, just like we have in the markets. Nobody wants their dirty code out there and Goldman ran for the doors as they know when folks start poking around who know code someone someday is going to ask about those proprietary math models and code. You don't change the portfolio, you change the math.
It is sad the way that all of it played out but insurers model their math daily and how many times do you find yourself shifting to accommodate their profit algorithms so you can get care. Gov should hire some quants, HHS, SEC, DOJ and a few other places. They are the brains. I've already attacked our consumer protection guy for going after low fruit only as he's a lawyer, Cordray so he's going after the verbiage, and what did I say above? Code runs hog ass wild in the meantime.
No in a nutshell whether it's healthcare or the markets "it's that damn code running hog ass wild"....I used to write code and queries and I'm not that good but if I can nonsense, time for others to speak out too.
This guys is good and does a very good presentation on algorithms and about half of it is about the markets and the other half tells you that we as humans have no value but some good bots are worth about $100 as he explains 61% of the web traffic now is bots, the rest is us an last year it was 51%...so crap is it 71% next year...life if good if you are bot, but not so much for the humans who now are left over to do the menial work the bots can't do. It sucks! When you think about Facebook and their expansion, he's expanding for the bots and data and if a few more humans get connected to the internet along the line, then he's a big hero..not!

Thanks, that was edifying.
I can't wait for 2018 and the "cadillac tax" on union insurance health plans kicks in.
Those fuckers voted for it plus sent union dues/cash to the dems.
Watch when they get that tax bill......doh!

He also quipped that Ryan's attempt to put some sanity into the budget was a "stinkburger" or a "meanwich" (what a childish ahole!)
The last 5 years of his f-ing agenda has been a giant "shit sandwich" and no matter what condiments you put on, it's still a shit sandwich.
I'm pretty sure it as the fucktard, clutz, ahole baby Bush that was all, mission accomplished". What a loser.
