Premiums Skyrocket 198% Under Obamacare
August 5, 2013
In a recent letter to the US Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS), http://www.oci.ga.gov/ExternalResour...02013-1537.pdf Ralph Hudgens, insurance commissioner for the state of Georgia, reports that Georgia insurance companies have filed new rate plans under Obamacare that will increase insurance rates up to 198%. Hudgens goes on to demand that the USDHHS provide Georgia with an emergency 30 day delay of implementation so that Georgia may get its house in order before the massive hikes take place. He also requests that the department justify the massive increases, as they are directly contradictory to what the President had promised. Finally, he demanded a prompt response to this “emergency situation”.
-The USDHHS responded late the next afternoon, telling reporters they are reviewing Hudgens’ request.
Georgia isn’t alone. Ohio could see an increase of 88%. In Florida, business insurance rates will rise anywhere from 5 percent to 20 percent; individual plans are expected to increase 30 percent to 40 percent, on average. Tennessee is expecting a 30% increase. This pattern is repeated all over the country.
“Since this is clearly a disaster in the making, maybe Georgia policymakers would be better served to just tell the feds they have no intention of setting this monstrosity up, wash their hands of it and let the feds try to do it themselves. If enough states do this, Obamacare will collapse on its own and we’ll all be a lot better off,” said Tenth Amendment Center communications director, Mike Maharrey.
Maharrey tells us that the Tenth Amendment Center has been leading the charge around the country to nullify the Patient Care Act in each state. They have provided a 4 step process to end the law in each state.

Obamacare event sparsely attended; Updated
By Doug Powers • August 5, 2013 01:10 AM
Reminder: Obamacare will cover treatment for feelings of isolation and loneliness,
but only if those conditions were contracted at Obamacare seminars.
*****
Organizing for Action managed to neither organize or get much action at a Virginia event Sunday. A number of “Obamacare” forums were scheduled around the country with the supposed purpose of “educating” people about the upcoming train wreck implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
At one such event, one person showed up: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/0...nia-95172.html
If OFA wants larger turnouts for their health care law events, they’ll offer seminars on how to get out of Obamacare instead of into it. http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...reince-priebusQuote:
That means gatherings like today’s in Centreville — although OFA organizers surely had something else in mind. After a scheduling snafu over the start time, a few people showed up and left before it actually started. Just one volunteer stayed to help work the phone bank for the health law, and the event’s organizer bolted after 20 minutes — although he was bound for another Obamacare event, a house party.
[...]
The Centreville event’s lone attendee, Lynn Duvall of Fairfax, Va., told POLITICO that it was her family’s own medical burdens that fueled her passion for Obamacare.

Worried about affording the economic impact of ObamaCare with increased premiums? Not if you're a member of Congress! After making a bill that they did not read law 'for our own good', Congress went running to Obama claiming they couldn't afford the massive premium increases.
The result? Obama is making YOU subsidize THEM!
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...-subsidy-rule/
Obamacare is great, if you listen to the Democrats (and now even some Republicans agree). So why is Obama granting waivers for his friends? Why did he delay the business mandate? Why is he granting favors to Congress?
Obamacare: Ground ZERO for A HACK ATTACK!
Posted on August 9 2013
You have just been “left in the dust” by the Republican leadership in Congress.
THEY KNOW Obamacare is a terrible piece of legislation, and THEY KNOW it is going to harm America in many ways. So naturally, they don’t want any part of it.
Luckily for them, Obama agrees. He and Congress have just EXEMPTED themselves from crushing Obamacare premiums by arranging for federal subsidies. These subsidies will pay about 75 percent of their healthcare costs.
But you and I don’t have that advantage. We don’t get that break. And the cowards who made the deal are scurrying out of Washington for August recess, hoping we don’t encounter them under the rocks where they surely will be hiding.
Almost on the same day this “deal” was reached, we saw headlines announcing that premiums in Ohio and Florida were going to skyrocket. And you can expect to see many, many more headlines like this in the days to come.
We are less than 60 days away from Obamacare exchanges opening. Not only is the government unprepared to handle all of our private, sensitive information, but Members of Congress and their staffers are getting a break at YOUR EXPENSE from the very law they insisted we needed.
They told us it was great, it was awesome; it was the right thing to do! …but it’s just not good enough for them.
And even more appalling is that in order to “compromise” on this deal, it’s reported the Republican leadership shook hands behind closed doors with the Democrats and made a deal that they WON’T USE OBAMACARE AS AN ISSUE IN THE 2014 ELECTIONS.
This is unconscionable, this is wrong, and this must be fixed immediately. Fax Congress right now and tell them you disapprove of their special backroom deals on Obamacare and ask them why YOU are being forced to live with this disastrous law. Call them out on their hypocrisy! Tell them to STOP OBAMACARE in its tracks!
Obamacare is great, if you listen to the Democrats (and now even some Republicans agree). So why is Obama granting waivers for his friends? Why did he delay the business mandate? Why is he granting favors to Congress?
At this moment we have identified TWO ALLIES who are keeping up the fight against Obamacare. Senator Mike Lee is fighting to defund Obamacare through the continuing resolution, and Senator David Vitter is livid that Congress and their staffers are going to get special treatment.
Senator Vitter sent a scathing letter to President Obama and the Congressional leadership that reads in part:
[IMG]I write in strong opposition to the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) recent action to “fix” Obamacare for Members of Congress and their staffs without doing the same for the American people. I urge you to undo this action legislatively as soon as we return to session in September so that Congress stands with the American people and doesn’t treat itself like a higher, select ruling class.
…no ordinary American at that income level buying on the Exchange would receive any government subsidy. This bailout simply has been pulled out of thin air under intense and, sadly, bipartisan political pressure.
These recent maneuverings inside the beltway are precisely why the American people rightly despise Congress. OPM’s “solution,” demanded by leading Members of Congress and crafted behind closed doors, is being viewed as an act of self-dealing special treatment – and rightly so. Those with proximity to power have found a way to…defray the cost of their new coverage, all while leaving their constituents in the dust.
Until Obamacare is fully repealed, those elected by the public should abide by the same laws Americans are being forced to live with.[/IMG]
Poor…needy…dying to get in to see a doctor: welcome to your future, America. Doctors and hospitals are closing their doors … workers are being dropped to part-time hours, or let go altogether … employers are ending coverage … unions hate it and are fighting back against the very law they pushed for … Democrats who championed it admit they don’t know how in the world they are going to manage it … the scandal-ridden IRS is smack dab in the middle of enforcing it … premiums are going up … on and on it goes.
When people held up signs that said, “Now my doctor’s office is going to be like the DMV,” it wasn’t a joke. There WILL be longer waiting lines and there WILL be lower quality of care, because doctors and hospitals are closing their practices or retiring in order to get away from Obamacare! And THEY will decide whether or not you or your family member is WORTHY of treatment.
Obama wants to keep this terrible legislation alive and well, and you must ask yourself: WHY? Why does he want to make average Americans suffer while handing out waivers and special favors for his friends? And why are the Republicans going along with it?
Why has the government decided YOU DO NOT MATTER?
Don’t forget this other gem: THIS IS END OF MEDICAL PRIVACY. Whatever you see a doctor for will be stored for eternity in a giant government database accessible to anyone who asks for it.
THIS IS GROUND ZERO FOR A HACK ATTACK!
The government cannot guarantee the safety of your personal information from hackers, but think about the rampant abuse that will take place as government agencies line up to get their hands on your data! I don’t know which threat I am more worried about.
Every Member of Congress who you thought would fight to get rid of Obamacare is now riding the gravy train right up front next to Obama and the Democrats.
If this doesn’t make your blood boil and push you to take action, then frankly, I’m sorry to say it, YOU DESERVE OBAMACARE AND ALL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING IT WILL BRING UPON AMERICA.
On October 1st Americans will be putting their identity in jeopardy in the Obamacare database UNLESS CONGRESS DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW, WHILE THEY STILL CAN. I’m not willing to let Congress off the hook. They can’t continue to tell us they want Obamacare gone and then act as though there is nothing they can do about it. All they have to do is grow a spine and refuse to fund it. That’s all.
And they have to stop throwing the American people under the bus. Frankly, every single one of them should find themselves out of a job the first chance we get.

When I was 26: Katie Pavlich, others react to President Obama’s definition of ‘kids’
Posted at 6:02 pm on August 9, 2013 by Twitchy Staff
A petulant President Obama today claimed that depriving 30 million people of health care had become the GOP’s “ideological fixation.” http://twitchy.com/2013/08/09/potus-...s-sick-people/ How many of those millions are kids? More than you’d suspect, considering that Obamacare lets 'children' up to the age of 26 stay on their parents’ health plans. Sure, everyone is somebody’s child, but are 26-year-olds really “kids” now, as the president seems to think?Quote:

Thanks to lobbying by Obama, the Office of Personnel Management has declared Congressmen and their staff will get a special deal on ObamaCare.
"Like" if you want the people who passed ObamaCare to have to deal with it too! http://bit.ly/16TH3k5

Rep. Louie Gohmert: Yeah, Obama Lied At His Press Conference
By Brian Carey on August 11, 2013
Somebody had to say it.
This morning on This Week With George The Greek, Rep. Louie Gohmert flat-out said that President Obama lied about ObamaCare at his press conference on Friday. Oddly enough, nobody else on the panel seemed to object. Perhaps because they all knew that President Obama did, in fact, lie at his press conference on Friday.
The subject was ObamaCare. The former Bill Clinton spokesman who, oddly enough, now works for ABC News brought up the subject of ObamaCare and the possibility of a government shut-down. He played the sound-on-tape of the President saying that the Republicans want deprive 30 million people of health insurance. When the clip was ended, George (Stephanopoulos) asked George (Will) a question.
Rep. Gohmert interrupted before the question could even be answered. “Wait, that’s a false narrative,” said Gohmert, answering what the President just said on tape. “He said we’re trying to keep people from having health care. That’s just not true. That is an absolute, blatant lie.”
http://i.imgur.com/BfwQu.gif
“We are not trying to keep anybody from getting health care,” Gohmert continued. “And whether or not they have insurance under an exchange or not does not prevent people from getting health care.”
His Democratic counterpart, Rep. Joaquin Castro, was asked to answer what Rep. Gohmert had just stated. Instead of taking issue with the fact that Gohmert called the President a liar, Castro just rattled off tired, discredited talking points about how ObamaCare is helping people.
Of course, if ObamaCare is helping people, then why are people who initially supported it now running away from it? http://downtrend.com/brian-carey/4-r...obamacare-now/
