Imagine for a moment that you are one of the 300,000 people that have supposedly registered at healthcare.gov for insurance under Obamacare. Let's say for grins and giggles that you have actually been able to get online, and open an account. Then for hilarity's sake, let's say you found an insurance policy who's premium, co-pay, and deductable didn't put you in an intensive care unit someplace, and you actually signed up for the thing.
Fast forward three and a half weeks to January 1st. It's a cold and snowy Wednesday morning, and you've had way too much to drink the night before, so you're going to go to the hospital and get something for your hangover with your nice, new insurance policy....you know....kinda try it out to see how well it works, like you would when you get that new credit card in the mail.
Now imagine your surprise when you find out after you've waited three hours in the emergency room, and have filled out all of the paper work and been seen by the doctor, that ooops! You're not covered by any insurance. Seems that when you sent your application in, it was full of errors and garbage, and the insurance company that you chose decided to throw it away. They couldn't even tell it was you that signed up, so they had no way of getting in touch with you to tell you that you weren't covered. That $500 co-pay for getting the aspirin at the emergency room? Now it's $1,500, and you're on the hook for all of it.
Oh....but wait (as Ron Popiel would say)....there's more! A week later, you get your MasterCard bill. And it's a whopper. Seems you stretched that credit limit to the max and then some. But you only thought you had $38 on that card! Oooops. What are all of these extra things you didn't charge? Well, apparently, when you were online at healthcare.gov, giving them all your vital information, there was someone else online watching you. And that person sold all of your personal data to a bunch of identity theives. Now you have about 15 people swearing they're you. They've purchased a car in Lousiana, taken out new credit cards in Maine, and even tried to buy a house in Kansas. Oh. You say you've never been arrested in Montana? No...you have now...for bank robbery, a federal offense. And of course, your employer has fired you because they "don't employ criminals".
Meanwhile, the other 299,999 people that signed up for Obamacare don't apparently fit your profile. They're sick, with pre-existing conditions, and are of the average age of 59. And that means that a) the insurance companies are going to lose money this year big time, and b) so are the hospitals and doctors, who aren't going to be reimbursed anywhere near what they should be, and c) next year everyone's premium is going to triple. Oh....wait for it....and next year you won't have six different insurance companies to choose from. You'll have one. Because five of them lost so much money they went out of business. THAT is exactly what Obama is hoping for in this mess.
Let's get one thing straight. He could give a crap about you and your problems.He could care less that his website doesn't work, or that the insurance companies never got your information. H shrugs his shoulders at the fact your identity was stolen. He laughs over what he most wanted to happen. He's gotten five sixths of the insurance companies to go out of business. Now, his government can come in, undercut the remaining company, and voila! Instant government single payor health care system!
And that is Obama's dream in all of this. You think he cares about you? Wrong. You think he gives a damn about the insurance companies or even if his website works? Nope. The only thing that worries him right now is that Congress passes a repeal of Obamacare by such a huge margin that he HAS to go along with it....and you've got a better chance of seeing Jesus than seeing that happen!
You think I'm wrong? Save this blog, and we'll talk next year at this time!
