Obamacare: White House admits that some people will not be able to keep their healthcare coverage
Contrary to Barack Obama’s claim while the healthcare law was being debated, not everyone who likes their current healthcare plan will be able to keep it. Today Jay Carney finally admitted the truth:
So it’s true there are existing health care plans on the individual market that do not meet those minimum standards and therefore do not qualify for the Affordable Care Act
This admission comes on the heals of a new report by NBC which states Barack Obama has known for at least three years that he was lying to the American people when he said they would be able to keep their healthcare plans.
So how many people does the Obama regime feel are “some people?” Well, according to this story 1.5 million people have already lost their healthcare coverage as a direct result of Obamacare, and the individual mandate is only three weeks old.
The individual mandate is still in its infancy and already more than one million people have lost their healthcare coverage and we can expect millions upon millions of people to lose their healthcare coverage before all is said and done. It is being predicted that up to 67% of all Americans, with one expert claiming the number could climb to 80%, with healthcare coverage could lose it. And this is what the Obama regime considers to be “some” people…..
Obamacare: Report claims Barack Obama knew millions of Americans would lose their healthcare
In the fight leading up to the passage of Obamacare the Dear Leader promised Americans that if you liked your healthcare plan you would be able to keep it. Of course in the first few weeks since the individual mandate went into effect we have learned differently.
In Florida 300,000 people have been informed their healthcare coverage does not comply with Obamacare and in California the number is 500,000 people, these people are losing their coverage and will have to purchase a new healthcare plan at a higher rate, and the law is still in its infancy–the number will continue to grow into the millions. This is just the beginning.
But now we are learning from this NBC report that Barack Obama has known for at least three years that this was not the truth and he continued to lie about what Obamacare really meant for millions of already insured Americans: Read more…
Benghazi: Barack Obama was warned three months prior to the attack that Chris Stevens was a target
I like to think that I have been keeping up with the Benghazi story as well as anyone else out there, but while I knew the Obama regime was warned that the situation in Libya was deteriorating and was reaching critical mass I did learn something from ’60 Minutes’ last night. (Of course it would have been nice if CBS had ran this story a year and a half ago instead of protecting the Dear Leader.)
Green Beret Commander Andy Wood provided this new information: Three months before the attack he told Chris Stevens that he needed to leave Benghazi because he was a target. He also informed the State Department and the Department of Defense about the coming attack. Al-Qaeda posted their immediate goals on the internet and there were three of them. Attack the Red Cross, the British, and then the Americans.

If you are going to go out you might as well go out fighting, that is why I continue this blog although everything seems hopeless at this point.

We can still turn this around for we must turn this around.
Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost,
Another Prophet of Disaster
Leaving you to count the cost.
Taunting us with Visions,
Afflicting us with fear,
Predicting war for millions,
In the hope that one appears.
No point asking when it is,
No point asking who’s to go,
No point asking what’s the game,
No point asking who’s to blame.
13, the Beast is rising,
The Frenchman did surmise,
Through earthquakes and starvation,
The warlord will arise.
Terror, death, destruction,
Pour from the Eastern Sands,
But the truth of all predictions,
Is always in your hands.
If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on.
If you’re gonna try, well stick around,
Gonna cry, just move along,
If you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die,
Gonna die! Die with your boots on
According to this story the establishment ruling class Republicans may be considering running a primary opponent against Mike Lee in 2016 because he has been unwilling to fall in line with the GOP Overlords.
There is already talk of who this replacement might be:
The Post reported that a potential Republican establishment challenger to Lee has already surfaced in “Thomas Wright, who stepped down this spring as chairman of the Utah Republican Party.” According to the Post, “Wright said he is considering running against Lee in 2016 because he has grown ‘exasperated’ with the junior senator’s governing style.
I am sure there is some animosity towards Mike Lee because he primaried the establishment Republican candidate in 2010 but this goes much deeper than that. The ruling class elitists in the Republican party do not like him because they have not been able to mold him and make him conform.
Afterburner with Bill Whittle: The Cookie Cutter Curriculum
In the latest Afterburner Bill Whittle takes on a subject that I have not yet written about and that is Common Core. He does it much better than I ever could so I will let him speak for me.
In this video he states how Common Core will do for education what Obamacare did for healthcare. He states: “all of the faults will get incorporated into a single of failure and then that point fails, but you can always call the toll free number 1-800-IMSHOKD.” He then goes on to state that this is nothing more than the Ministry of Truth.
Bill Whittle has outdone himself yet again, here it is for your viewing pleasure:
Obamacare: Michelle Obama’s college classmate is a VP for the company which won the no bid contract to create the exchange website
From The Daily Caller:
Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the contract to build the failed Obamacare website.
Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.
Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.
Toni Townes ’85 is a onetime policy analyst with the General Accounting Office and previously served in the Peace Corps in Gabon, West Africa. Her decision to return to work, as an African-American woman, after six years of raising kids was applauded by a Princeton alumni publication in 1998
George Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based CGI Group, CGI Federal’s parent company, became an Obama
2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract.
As reported by the Washington Examiner in early October, the Department of Health and Human Services reviewed only CGI’s bid for the Obamacare account. CGI was one of 16 companies qualified under the Bush administration to provide certain tech services to the federal government. A senior vice president for the company testified this week before The House Committee on Energy and Commerce that four companies submitted bids, but did not name those companies or explain why only CGI’s bid was considered.
On the government end, construction of the disastrous Healthcare.gov website was overseen by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of longtime failed website-builder Kathleen Sebelius’ Department of Health and Human Services.
Looks to me as if this is Barack Obama’s Halliburton.
Obamacare: You have no reasonable expectation of privacy
We have all heard the stories about how intrusive the questions an applicant must answer on the healthcare exchange website before a person can even see what the policies or the rates are, but the news gets even worse because we are learning that hidden in the code of the website is text which states that a person has “no reasonable expectation of privacy.”
Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, on Thursday grilled Cheryl Campbell, senior vice president of CGI Federal Inc., the company that built the Obamacare health-insurance exchange website, on language hidden in source code on the site that says applicants have “no reasonable expectation of privacy.”
Barton showed Campbell an image of the website coding that included this warning, and she confirmed that she knew it was there.
However, she insisted that in developing the site the way it did, her company was simply following “a set of rules and regulations” set out under their contract by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The representative from CGI, the company contracted to build the website, admitted the code was there but claimed they had to write this code into the website because it was part of the agreement with the government.
