How we got Obamacare to work

Liberal logic = OxyMoron

How can we know if something has worked at this point, we can only know if it has not yet.

Once we get a few months or years into the insurance program being in force, then we will see. We will be able to measure this by looking at health care costs and increases in life span.

But if you look at the goal to get people to sign up, well then sure some people have. This is not a measurement of success. Now if the program does succeed considering all the sectors and people that have made alternative decision, then that would be great, but I don't see a path where this is possible.

I have already frozen wages, increased prices and done other things to prepare for what is coming.

LJ you are living in lala land and it has been more than obvious that you have been absent because of the failure of this program you helped promote to no end. Most others that have supported it have been gone too. Just because you found one fleeting sign that the govt is getting its way, doe snot mean the program has succeeded for the people it was meant to serve.

Remember again you promoted the program that put off universal care for decades so that you can make your neighbors pay the insurance companies. The problem, the fed was financing some emergency room visits, seems like small beans now compared to the mess you are trying to mitigate unsuccessfully with this post.

How does the huffpost put it....."EPIC FAIL"...."the ACA does not look like this anymore"....."the citizens demolished Obamacare", etc. etc.

Great points OTN, LJ is still trying to cheerlead ACA despite it preventing single payer.
A half a loaf for 20 years is better than Hilary giving us single payer?

BTW, the Obama website is still promising that you can keep your doctor and insurance. Geez, don't even bother to print corrections, do they?

Lady Jazzer is not concerned with whether this works. She is not concerned about the effect it is having on peoples pocketbooks, health, jobs, the countries fiscal health or anything other problems that are becoming apparent as the ACA rolls out.

She is ONLY concerned with finding anything that she can rub into the nose of conservatives or anyone who doesn't agree with her. She'll soon start picking on the Democrat politicians who have jumped ship.

What makes Lady Jazzer most happy is when everyone else feels as miserable as she is.

Not possible but she does enjoy trying.

As for the topic, it was just discovered that

The Obama administration was warned as early as March about potential risks with the implementation of HealthCare.gov, according to documents released by the House Energy and Commerce Committee Monday night.

Key administration officials at the White House and Department of Health and Human Services received briefings this past spring from McKinsey & Co., a private consulting firm that reviewed more than 200 documents and conducted interviews with HHS staff to identify potential problems before the Oct. 1 rollout.

My guess is that the few states that have "success", so far, had people who knew what they were doing.

In one page the presentation, the company specifically warned about a "failure to resolve post-launch issues rapidly" -- a scenario that ended up playing out last month. The company cautioned that a "compressed testing window and volume uncertainty," coupled with the fact that response teams were not yet in place, would drag out the process of fixing problems after launch.

Ah but supposedly Obama knew nothing of this... he had no idea that his crowning achievement was riddled with problems. Ya right.

While Obama was saying this week that ACA is his last campaign, with new numbers showing his popularity at an all time low, 42% (ABC News), might it be time for him to jettison the unpopular program?

And admit his crowning "achievement" was poorly thought out? :rofllol

When monkeys fly out of an angry old white woman's butt....

Since were talking about states like Washington and anecdotal success stories, here is an update on one of Obama's new enrollees, err un-enrollee.

"Washington state resident Jessica Sanford was bursting with pride when President Obama mentioned her story during a Rose Garden event on health care reform last month at the White House."

Oops not so fast, seems the exchange made a mistake and cancelled her miscalculated tax subsidy. Think Obama will update us on her "success story" ? Good luck Jessica.

The president said Sanford's story was proof, despite the technical problems with the healthcare.gov website, that the Affordable Care Act was working.

Wow. You guys really screwed me over," Sanford wrote. "Now I have been priced out and will not be able to afford the plans you offer. But, I get to pay $95 and up for not having health insurance. I am so incredibly disappointed and saddened. You majorly screwed up."

I wonder how history would view Obama if he came before the American people and said, "This has been a catastrophic failure. I dropped the ball by not insisting on being advised of every single bit of information, good or bad. I let good intentions override reality. I have failed you. I will immediately go before Congress and work with ALL of the members to repeal this law."

I watched his speech when he told this woman's story and I wondered how many bad stories they had to sift through before they found this one. Now even the anecdotal success stories are falling apart.
