This is not what Obama and the
Democrats promised the American people.
Over five million
people have received cancellation letters stating that they are being kicked
off of their insurance because it does not meet the minimal requirements under
the Affordable Care Act. Let that sink in for a bit… over 5 million people are
being kicked off of their insurance because their old plans don’t offer
maternity, dental, and eye coverage. Elderly cancer patients are being kicked
off of their insurance because their coverage doesn’t provide maternity or
pediatric care. It doesn’t matter that they are too old to have children. They
are just one example of people who are being kicked off their coverage and
forced to buy more expensive insurance plans for coverage they don’t need!
After those 5 million Americans being kicked off their insurance, what
do we have to show for it? A whopping 364,000 people have “enrolled”
in Obamacare. This statistic means absolutely nothing because it doesn’t take
into account how many people have actually paid to be covered under Obamacare.
As the Obama administration celebrates this 364k enrollment figure,
they are conveniently leaving out the fact that less than half of all people
enrolled have actually paid for insurance yet. Experts estimate that only
150,000 people have actually put in their credit cards and purchased health
insurance through the Federal exchange. I am sure that number would be higher
if the Obama administration actually bothered to build the part of the website
that enables you to pay for insurance.
That’s right, as we’ve told you in the past, the Obama administration
forgot to even build the 40% of the website that is devoted to processing
payments. So even if you are able to sign on to the website and you pick a more
expensive healthcare that you can stomach, you won’t even be able to pay for it
online!
So President Obama has given us healthcare that NONE of us want, at a
price that NONE of us can afford, and even if we wanted to, we CAN’T physically
purchase it!
Even if the administration is able to fix the website to allow people
to purchase their insurance, there is no way people will be covered by January
1st… And Obama knows this! Obama has “requested” that insurance companies and
doctors ignore the fact that people haven’t paid for their coverage and insure
them anyway.
Wait… What? People haven’t paid for their insurance and Obama actually
expects insurance companies to just pay people’s medical expenses out of
pocket, without any guarantee of being paid back?
Well, just this week, the insurance companies respectfully told the
President that under no circumstances would they provide medical coverage for
people who hadn’t paid for it. And you can’t blame the insurance companies for
this. It isn’t their fault that the Obamacare rollout has been such a train
wreck. Now we are faced with the reality that not only will millions of people
enter 2014 without health insurance thanks to Obamacare, but even those who
chose an alternative plan won’t receive coverage because there was no way for
them to physically pay for it in time!
It is important to know that Obamacare is doomed to fail in the
short-term, but the law will fail even if the administration gets its act
together. That’s because the entire system is based on the assumption that
there will be enough young and healthy Americans enrolled to pay for the medical
coverage of older and sicker enrollees. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like
that is ever going to happen.
If you think about the health insurance marketplace as a pyramid, the
ideal situation would be to have a young and healthy foundation to support the
few sick people who constantly need coverage.
However the enrollment and polling data suggests that Obamacare is
creating the exact opposite. As more and more sick and elderly people enroll in
the Affordable Care Act, there aren’t enough healthy people enrolling to be
able to keep premiums low. As it is, the introduction of new enrollees with
pre-existing conditions into the insurance pools is already estimated to
increase the average American’s insurance premiums by 33%! That’s right…
instead of the $2,500 reduction that President Obama promised, we are actually
slated to see our yearly insurance premiums increase by $2,500. The President
lied to you. Are you just going to sit back and watch Obamacare tank the U.S. economy?
But all this is still assuming that young and healthy people will be
enrolling in Obamacare. And if recent polling is any indication, the vast
majority of young Americans have absolutely no plan to overpay for health
insurance under Obamacare…
A recent Harvard University poll has found that only 29% of young Americans, ages
18-29, have any plans to enroll in the Obamacare exchanges. Only 10% of
respondents said that they would definitely be enrolling, while 19% responded
that they would probably enroll in the healthcare exchanges. These are abysmal
numbers.
It’s no wonder that the Obama administration has reached out to Hollywood to try and sell this train wreck legislation to America’s youth.
But it has come to the point where we must open our eyes and recognize
that no amount of money or willpower is going to make this flawed healthcare
law work. The warning signs are there. If we continue down this path, we will
eventually come to the point where there is no turning back.
The 2014 midterm elections will be a referendum on this horrible law
and if the public polling numbers are to be believed, the vast majority of
Americans want this healthcare law repealed. The American people now know what
we knew all along: The math just doesn’t add up and President Obama has lied to
us from the beginning!
Unfortunately, while the public is outraged over Obamacare, we cannot
rely on them to bring about the change we need. Everyone is watching this
healthcare law crumble and saying to themselves, “I’m sure someone else will do
something about it.”
Only you can force Congress to see the writing on the wall. Obamacare
will fail and every Representative and Senator who refused to act will lose
their reelection. Threatening their job security is the only language that
these career politicians understand!
Imagine if everyone simultaneously faxed Congress to smack some sense
into them! Together we will overwhelm Congress with faxes to the point where
they cannot ignore us anymore!
