More Obamacare Failures

Looks like the AFFORDABLE care act is not so affordable after all…

There is a report that CoOpportunity Health, an Obamacare created insurer, might end up costing taxpayers millions of dollars because it is going belly up.

Yep, the great socialized medicine experiment that continues to be a disaster is claiming an insurance company set up specifically to provide insurance under Obamacare is losing money and will die a long and painful death, painful to the tune of 140 MILLION taxpayer dollars.

This is but another piece of evidence that Obamacare is a disaster, costs too much, and will end up adding to the financial burden taxpayers already have.

Now this company might end up staying in business but it will only do so if the taxpayer injects millions of dollars into the company. That will allow it to pay some bills and continue operating but at what future cost?

If it was unable to make it in the lean years of Obamacare what will happen when the additional burdens that were pushed off to avoid election issues kick in? Will the company continue to lose money hand over fist and will the government dole out more taxpayer money in the same fashion?

That was the bad news. The worse news is that there are six other co-ops that are in deep financial trouble because of low enrollment and “other pressures” (read expensive regulations and rules coupled with high costs for service).

The really bad news is that Louisiana Health Co-operative will shut down at the end of the year for many of the same reasons.

Obamacare insurances are failing in a market that Obama and his supporters claimed would be friendly to insurance companies and those they insure.

I guess everyone who said these things would be a disaster were right all along.

Don’t expect Obama or those who rammed all this down our throats to report the bad news or take responsibility.

Liberals are morons who want you to believe that it is possible to pick up a turd by the clean end….

This Is How Seriously Maryland Democrats Take Us

Jamie Raskin, a democrat that “represents” Montgomery County Maryland was in attendance at the hearing over the Maryland Governor’s push for anti Second Amendment gun control and confiscation. One would think that such a historic event in which thousands of pro gun citizens showed up to testify would garner the full attention of the legislators. Hell, one would think that full attention would be required when any citizen appears. After all, they work for us, we pay their salaries and they derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.

But not so much with Raskin who is anti gun. Here is a video taken at the hearing and Raskin is playing a computer game of chess. Why would this guy be allowed to waste our money playing computer games ANYTIME?

Feel free to contact him to let him know he is a waste of taxpayer money and that he is a disgrace to the citizens of Maryland.

It won’t matter much that he is a disgrace since most Democrats in Maryland are a disgrace and it starts with Governor Martin O’Malley.

[note]On March 1, 2006, during a Maryland State Senate hearing regarding same-sex marriage, Raskin, speaking as a constitutional law expert, told a lawmaker, “People place their hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution; they don’t put their hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.”[/note]

And Jamie, the Second Amendment is part of the Constitution. In fact, alleged Constitutional law expert, the right to keep and bear arms is specifically spelled out in that document. Marriage, same sex or not, appears nowhere in it.

Yet, you will fight tooth and nail to get a law not supported by the Constitution while violating that oath you took with regard to firearms.

Idiot…

Does Obama Have Two Dogs?

A big deal was made yesterday because Barack Obama went to the store to shop for his dog and his kids. He went to Pet Smart and bought his dog, which was with him, an expensive chew toy and then headed to Best Buy to get his daughters a few presents.

I will stop here and say that the reporter who wrote about the trip was irresponsible when he reported what presents Obama bought for his kids. No matter how one feels about the man it is just wrong to report what presents he got for his kids because they might see the report and it will ruin it for him.

But the issue that is in the news today is how did his dog Bo get to DC for the shopping trip? It was reported that Bo traveled to Hawaii with Michelle and the kids and folks on the ground in Hawaii report seeing the dog there.

Did Obama have his dog flown back to DC for a photo-op to show he is a regular guy like the rest of us or does he own two dogs?

Since we have never seen two dogs the answer must be that the dog was flown back. That, of course, assumes that the reports of the dog being in Hawaii are correct.

If the dog was flown back, how much did it cost?

This is something that needs to be explained.

Cave canem!

The “I Know Nothing” Regime

The Obama Regime has a bunch of know nothings in it. I don’t mean they are not educated or that they are not smart people (just not as smart as they or their worshippers think), I mean they conveniently know nothing when scandal hits. Since scandal, wrongdoing and corruption hits each and every day, there are a lot of people who suddenly “know nothing.”

The Chicago Tribune has an article about the growing green energy scandal where Obama and his regime doled out a half a billion dollars to Solyndra as a good investment in green energy (a loan the Bush administration decided against because it was too risky) only to watch as the company went bankrupt and billions in taxpayer dollars were whizzed down the drain. The Trib calls this nothing more than the Chicago Way, something they are used to in Obama’s stomping grounds.

The cover up begins as Obama and those in his regime try to counter claims of political favor for people who contributed to little Barry. There will be investigations as communications are uncovered daily. These show that Obama and his people worked to streamline the process while ignoring all the warnings. The major concern was not over whether taxpayer dollars would be wasted (they were) but that it would hit during the 2012 campaign and damage Obama.

Rahm Emanuel, former Obama chief of staff and part of the Chicago political machine, says he does not remember anything about Solyndra. Yep, twinkle toes Emanuel is claiming that he can’t remember anything about the shady deal involving the company that went belly up costing taxpayers half a billion dollars.

The guy who remembers all political infractions and wages war against opponents based on his long memory now can’t recall a single thing about Solyndra. Funny, there are emails from his assistants regarding the issue. How is it that Rahm can’t remember?

Please liberals don’t tell me that the assistants did this without his knowledge. If that is the case he should have never been in a leadership position and he should not be the mayor of Chicago.

This is nothing more than Emanuel distancing himself from a scandal he was involved in. He did that with the Blagojevich pay to play scandal that involved Obama’s vacated US Senate seat. Emanuel was involved in that just as he is involved in the Solyndra scandal but he claims he can’t remember anything.

That is the typical Chicago political response:

“I know nothing!” SGT Schultz would be proud.

Did Barney Frank Allocate This Money?

The federal government has spent $1.44 million of taxpayer money to study, among other things, male prostitutes in South East Asia.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has so far awarded $1.44 million in federal funds to a project that, among other things, is estimating the size of the population and examining the “social milieu” of male prostitutes in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. CNS News

The study will look at HIV rate in men who have sex with men.

Who cares about their male prostitutes (or any of their prostitutes) and who cares about their HIV rate? That is not our concern and is for their government to look at. One thing is for sure is that taxpayer money should not be spent for this folly.

Did Barney Frank allocate the money for this?

If anyone knows about male prostitutes, he would be the guy…
