Affordable Careless Act

Minnesota has experienced almost a 50% rate of fraudulent sign-up eligibility for Obamacare coverage. This represents about 100,000 people who received around $271 million in medical payments in just over five months to which they were not entitled. This is but one disturbing statistic that has been provided by the non-partisan General Accounting Office and other government watchdog agencies  ... see: Americans for Tax Reform Story.. And there were at least nine other instances of careless administration surrounding this unpopular attempt to remake the American health care system. Here is another instance of such sloppiness from thie above story:

A October 23, 2015 report by GAO found that Obamacare exchanges (both state and federal) were failing to verify key enrollment information of applicants including Social Security numbers, household income, and citizenship.

Such poor management is what we have come to expect when our government gets involved in our health care ... witness the repeated scandals in veterans' health care at the Veterans Administration..

I suppose that it is clearly time ... ala Bernie Sanders and Hellery Clinton ... for the government to take over everything medical  ...

Faux Anger

I don’t think I need to reiterate all of President Obama’s management miscues surrounding the Veterans Administration (VA) fiasco. Even some die-hard Democrats are beginning to realize how inept our fearless leader has been in his handling of the corruption, incompetence and cover-ups that seems to have permeate this agency ... six years after he swore to fix things … let alone his numerous other scandals that have arisen due to his terms of lassitude and inattention. Sooo, Obama again reluctantly came out today to put his “I’m mad as hell” lid on his latest administration scandal ... see: Breitbart Story.

The funny part about this faux anger is that Obama can’t seem to get beyond his practiced, glib delivery style. His outrage seems as convincing as his Obamacare promises. He once told Harry Reid that his ability to read from a teleprompter was “a gift.” And for many years it was … it actually got him elected. But his inability to differentiate with his emotions between 40 veterans dying due to VA uselessness … and his pardoning of the Thanksgiving turkey … has turned this “gift” into an oozing leper’s sore. I can only imagine that these hollow words he spoke today in this news conference were but his down payment on another golf game … see: ABC Story

Instead of steam coming out of Obama’s ears, his sad performance today appeared more like a Three Stooges pantomime. Our maimed and infirmed veterans really do deserve better that this cynical charade we were offered..
