Fourth in our series: "What Obama Supporters Really Think of ObamaCare [and Obama]?"

<<< Turns out Hussein Obama is a corporate liberal with a fetish for recreating the United States of American into his image and childish imaginations.  

Journalist Jeremy Scahill and filmmaker Oliver Stone believe that, on issues of civil liberties and warfare, President Obama has entirely abandoned his 2008 rhetoric. And they see MSNBC and stars like Bill Maher as the biggest cheerleaders for such abrogations. . . . 

Our third in our series on "What Obama supporters really think of ObamaCare." This time, it comes from the Boston Globe.

<<< What is not being reported is this:  O-Care costs go up $2300 this year,  $4500,  next,  and increases each year . . .  forever !!!!  Is that what you thought would happen?  

Editor’s notes:  ObamaCare was patterned after Hillary Care.  The Romney plan for the state of Massachusetts,  was working just fine,  until the first of October,  when the state,  one of just 14,  added itself to the Federal Exchange  -  then all hell broke loose.  Here is the very liberal Boston Globe’s report on ObamaCare in its state.  Think about it:  it is such an Administrative nightmare that this liberal paper has no choice but to report the truth. 

The state’s healthcare administrator is reported to be in tears.  Why?  Because tens of thousands people in the state are being dealt great harm and no one in the Obama Administration cares:

From the Boston Globe:  The head of the state’s beleaguered health insurance marketplace, which was once a national model, broke down in tears Thursday, as she described how demoralizing it has been for her staff to struggle with a broken website that has left an unknown number of people without coverage.

Jean Yang, the executive director of the Massachusetts Health Connector, wept at a board meeting, where it was disclosed that 50,000 applications for health insurance are sitting in a pile, and have yet to be entered into a computer system.

Each one of those applications requires two hours to process, adding to a mountain of work facing Connector staff as they scramble to prevent people from losing insurance, officials said.

“These people came here to lead and innovate, and instead they’re doing manual workarounds, and they are embarrassed to tell friends and family that they work for the Health Connector,” Yang said at the board meeting.

Yang made clear she was not looking for sympathy.

“We have to work harder,” she said. “That means I need tell the staff members they’re not doing a good enough job and I’m telling them that, even though they have been doing this tirelessly for months, and they’re exhausted.”

The state’s health insurance website was working smoothly until October, when it was revamped to comply with the more complicated requirements of the federal health care law. Since then, it has been bedeviled by error messages and is often very sluggish or crashes entirely . . . . .  end of quote

NYT: Obamacare Disproportionately Hurts Poor, Rural Americans

The second in our series on "What Obama Supporters Really Think of ObamaCare." This comes from the pages of the Washington Post.

Ed Rogers writes:  It’s been a bad week for Obamacare.  Incredibly, the White House has had to grant yet another delay in the employer mandate. This time, employers with between 50 to 99 employees who don’t already offer health insurance to their employees have until 2016 to comply with the shifting Obamacare requirements.  This latest delay represents another political calculation by the White House.  They are counting on the fact that the criticism they will face now for bungling incompetence and disregarding their own law is less than the criticism they would receive for damaging American business closer to the elections.

And the fine print of the latest announcement from the Administration is worse than the terrible headlines. This rule includes a provision that says you have to have the right motives for having a certain number of employees to be in compliance with Obamacare. Bear with me, that’s right: You must certify to the IRS – under the threat of perjury – that the reasons for your employee head count have nothing to do with your opposition to or avoidance of Obamacare. This president doesn’t just selectively enforce the law as he sees fit; now he is actually inventing new crimes . . . . . . .  I can’t wait to see the video of the first Democrat who tries to defend this new threat of prosecution within Obamacare.  . . . . . .    It’s completely indefensible.

This comes immediately on the heels of another body blow to Obamacare; specifically,the CBO announced that under Obamacare, the projection of hours worked will represent “a decline in the number of full-time-equivalent workers of about 2.0 million in 2017, rising to about 2.5 million in 2024.”  

While this statement got all the attention from the press, another stunning revelation in the CBO report is that in the decade after implementation, there will be still be roughly 31 million uninsured Americans under Obamacare.  . . . . . .   the president can amend the law, ignore the law and now even create new ways to prosecute you if you try to avoid its burdens, and the Democrats all fall in line. . . . . . .   If it were nine days instead of nine months before the next election, maybe they could pull it off.  But Obamacare is failing in its original purpose of providing insurance for the uninsured, it unnecessarily burdens American families and businesses, and now the White House has opened the door to prosecuting those they deem to be insufficiently committed to Obamacare. When will the nightmare end? . . . . . . . . . . . .   Read the full article in the Washington Post,  here.  

Editor's notes:  Understand that Rogers is a Republican writer who has written op-eds for the Post for years.  His article would not be allowed onto the pages of the Post,  if the editor's of that news source,  felt his opinions were both inaccurate and harmful.  Indeed,  this article appears in the Post,  precisely because of its content.  

Here is a typical Democrat response,  addressed by readers of the Post:

Why does it feel Barack and Nancy will take us all down before they admit they screwed it up for everyone (except those wanting free coverage)?

The first in our series of "What Obama Supporters Really Think Of ObamaCare."

<<<<  Ron Fournier (born 1963) is an American national political journalist currently of the National Journal. Fournier had previously served as Washington bureau chief at the Associated Press (AP) until leaving in In June 2010.

Ron Fournier,  a supporter of Obama Care, admits the obvious:  It's getting difficult and slinking toward impossible to defend the Affordable Care Act. The latest blow to Democratic candidates, liberal activists, and naïve columnists like me came Monday from the White House, which announced yet another delay in the Obamacare implementation.

For the second time in a year, certain businesses were given more time before being forced to offer health insurance to most of their full-time workers. Employers with 50 to 99 workers were given until 2016 to comply, two years longer than required by law. During a yearlong grace period, larger companies will be required to insure fewer employees than spelled out in the law.

Not coincidentally, the delays punt implementation beyond congressional elections in November, which raises the first problem with defending Obamacare: The White House has politicized its signature policy.

The win-at-all-cost mentality helped create a culture in which a partisan-line vote was deemed sufficient for passing transcendent legislation. It spurred advisers to develop a dishonest talking point—"If you like your health plan, you'll be able to keep your health plan." And political expediency led Obama to repeat the line, over and over and over again, when he knew, or should have known, it was false.

Defending the ACA became painfully harder when online insurance markets were launched from a multi-million-dollar website that didn't work, when autopsies on the administration's actions revealed an epidemic of incompetence that began in the Oval Office and ended with no accountability.

Then officials started fudging numbers and massaging facts to promote implementation, nothing illegal or even extraordinary for this era of spin. But they did more damage to the credibility of ACA advocates.

Finally, there are the ACA rule changes—at least a dozen major adjustments, without congressional approval. J. Mark Iwry, deputy assistant Treasury secretary for health policy, said the administration has broad "authority to grant transition relief" under a section of the Internal Revenue Code that directs the Treasury secretary to "prescribe all needful rules and regulations for the enforcement" of tax obligations, according to The New York Times.

Yes, Obamacare is a tax  . . . .   and the rest of Fournier's complaint can be found, here.  Keep in mind that Fournier is an Associated Press lib who voted for Obama and supports the idea of real health care reform.
