IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE FOR OBAMACARE! THAT MEANS IT'S GETTING WORSE FOR AMERICA!

When it seemed that the news for Obamacare just couldn't get worse, initial enrollment figures were far from encouraging over at Health & Human Services for Kathleen "Ice Queen Katy" Sebilius and her hardy band of navigators, call-center operators and various and sundry bureaucrats.

In fact, Obamacare was about 90% off the numbers that had been anticipated for October enrollments. Combined with a website that just wouldn't work, news that navigators chosen to help prospective enrollees navigate the intricacies of the program did not go through background checks, and revelations of navigator malfeasance in Dallas,  it is difficult to imagine how this monstrosity is allowed to continue to function.  But, remember, this is an Obama government program, not one that would have to stand on its own in the private sector.

WHY DOES THIS POOR LADY NO LONGER SMILE?

As for the millions who are losing private plans that they liked and naively believed their president when he said, "If you like your plan, you can keep it! Period!" there has been no resolution as yet to their problem.  In several quarters, odds are that more government money will be utilized to subsidize those up to 100 million people who will find that policies equivalent to the ones they lost will be quite a bit more expensive on the exchanges.  If this becomes the solution, how will it work?  Will these millions of individuals be subsidized indefinitely?  Will they discover that the subsidies are for a limited period and thus find themselves entrapped into purchasing inordinately more expensive coverage on the exchanges?

Meanwhile, groups like the Urban League, which chose to enter the navigator business, continue to have their reputations tarnished with tales  of how associated navigators encouraged prospective enrollees to commit fraud in Texas.   Texas Senator John Cornyn, in reaction, has called for an end to the navigator program. And, in New Orleans, it has been revealed that Wayne Rathke, the founder of ACORN, the shady community organizing group caught red-handed in fraudulent activity, has pushed another of his groups, this time a labor union, into the Obamacare business.

How could any honest citizen in his or her right mind conceive of having anything to do with Obamacare?  It is nothing more than a giant scam, designed to perpetuate dependence, provide graft and patronage and ensnare Americans in a mishmash of bureaucracy.  And, remember which agency of government that was charged with enforcing this ill-begotten tragedy?  Why, of course, it's the totally non-partisan IRS, the very body known for harassment of citizen groups not known to support the present administration.  What a load of garbage!  No wonder Congress is not inclined to live by the laws it inflicts on others!

Deo vindice!

God bless Texas, and may the Lone Star state remain forever red!
