Op-ed:
Bye-bye Kathleen...NOT sorry to see you go
By: Diane Sori

“The next HHS secretary will inherit a mess — Americans facing rising costs, families losing their doctors, and an economy weighed down by intrusive regulations.”
- Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus

What a sickening display we saw yesterday as Barack HUSSEIN Obama sung the praises of Kathleen Sebelius for all her "fine work" in regards to ObamaCare. The man who blames her...and everyone else but himself...for the disastrous ObamaCare roll out was now singing her praises. The man who claimed it was all her fault for the lack of information emanating from the HHS about the extent of the Heathcare.gov website problems could care less about Sebelius resigning...quitting she says or fired perhaps...so what he actually meant was 'hurry up and get the hell out of here you...you...'fill in the blank with the word of your choice as they all fit.

Kathleen Sebelius, an ex-Kansas governor, a former state insurance commissioner, and the daughter of a former Ohio governor, was one of Obama’s longest-serving cabinet members (one of six cabinet members, like Eric 'Fast and Furious' Holder, who has been hanging on since this administration's beginning), is the very woman who eleven days ago promised that she would stay at the top of the HHS organizational pecking order until ObamaCare's second open enrollment period started in November...started after the mid-term elections of course...and is the one who has been ObamaCare's head honcho since its inception.

Kathleen Sebelius, the woman who become the public face of the continuously troubled and malfunctioning health insurance exchanges...the woman who evoked the 5th when appearing before Congress...was sworn in as HHS head in April 2009, and then helped ObamaCare win congressional approval...so she is as equally responsible for this monstrosity as those who passed it before reading it.

Hoping Sebelius' resignation would put to rest the NEVER ending but oh so rightful barrage of controversies connected with ObamaCare (I will NOT call it the Affordable Care Act as this monstrosity is anything but affordable), Obama has nominated Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the director of the Office of Management and Budget to replace her...in affect trading one shill for another...as there are still problems galore with ObamaCare. Remember, 24 states have NOT agreed to an expansion of Medicaid under the law...a key part of providing coverage to the uninsured, and in 36 states the federal government runs the exchanges, because they declined to take on that responsibility ...and rightly so.

"Their futures are secured knowing that they can take care of themselves and their families."
-Kathleen Sebelius in her Rose Garden resignation speech 4/11/14

Words said during her resignation speech but words of a blind follower...words of the clueless...words of a lying vile woman who helped orchestrate and push the most cleverly crafted stuff of nightmares ever perpetrated on the American people...a nightmare complete with 'death panels' and rationed medicine, all paid for with changes to Medicare, taxes on health-care providers, and a requirement...a mandate...that all Americans have insurance...that all Americans buy insurance whether they want it or NOT.

And as a surge of last-minute applications 'miraculously' arrived before the March 31th deadline allowing the White House to claim it had finally reached its target of seven million enrolled...with .1 added in for good measure...Sebelius' job was done. So her words were simply empty bloviations of a woman who needed to go..but know that her going will in NO way fix the inherent problems with ObamaCare.

And while Sebelius publicly took responsibility...most likely ordered to do so or else...for the disastrous ObamaCare roll out, once the website was repaired...sort of repaired that is as the Healhcare.gov website continued to go down even on the last sign-up day...Sebelius became Obama's personal shill and mouthpiece. Traveling across America to spew Obama's LIES about ObamaCare, Sebelius deliberately ignored the cancellation of six plus million private policies that people were happy with...deliberately ignored the fact that those who tried to sign onto the exchanges encountered delays, could NOT log on, or began an application only to see their data vanish...and most importantly deliberately ignored the fact that most could NOT pay the all-important first premium payment because the payment portals had NOT yet been built.

"Glitches" Obama, Sebelius, and their devious crew of miscreants and LIARS called them...'glitches' my eye...as these 'glitches' were NOTHING more than covering up for the difficulties and the subterfuge that became the hallmark of Obama's signature anything but a health care law.

So while yesterday Obama praised Sebelius for helping to steer ObamaCare's comeback by saying, "Under Kathleen's leadership, her team at HHS turned the corner, got it fixed, got the job done...and the final score speaks for itself," the fact remains that NO such comeback has really been done for signing up for ObamaCare does NOT mean one is enrolled in ObamaCare for the payment portals are still under construction, and the 'supposed' 7.1 million who signed up actually gets negated by the six plus million who lost their insurance because of ObamaCare.

Said by an HHS official, “As she closes this chapter, Secretary Sebelius is extremely thankful to President Obama and very proud of the historic accomplishments of this Administration,” the truth is that Kathleen Sebelius's tenure as the head of HHS...as the steward of ObamaCare...has been a total and complete failure as is all that has been done by this administration. I hope this woman doesn't let the door slam her in the butt as it closes behind her...NO...I actually hope it does for maybe then she'll have some sense knocked into her.

Just saying...

1...2...3...4...5...SIX!

By: Diane Sori 

Seis...che...sechs...zes...sei...szesc...שבע...NO matter what language it's said in...NO matter how it's spelled...the number 6...SIX...is my new favorite number...and I bet it's the new favorite number of many others too.

SIX...the number of people who signed onto ObamaCare on October 1...the first day the ObamaCare website was up and running...the day the White House said that by the end of the month 500,000 would sign up.

SIX... For a month now Obama and his mouthpieces have been bloviating that Americans by the droves are visiting, shopping, and purchasing health insurance through the exchanges on Healthcare.gov in spite of all its problems...visiting a website that does NOTHING but expound the highest tax increase in the history of this country.

But truth be told...the Obama administration out-and-out  LIED...so what else is new...saying there were 4.7 million visits in the first 24 hours of operation.  But in response to a document request to HHS from the House Oversight Committee (the Obama administration to date had refused to provide information on how many people had actually enrolled) notes secured from the twice-a-day 'war room' meetings within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services  showed that only "six enrollments have occurred so far."

A laughable SIX people signed up for Barack HUSSEIN Obama's hallmark piece of legislation on day one...by the afternoon of day two enrollments reached 100...and by the end of day three, the 'war room' notes show 248 enrollments nationwide. A mere 248 enrollments when ObamaCare needs an average of 39,000 enrollments per day to meet the goal of seven million by March 1st.  And the majority of that 248...in fact 9 out of 10...did NOT purchase private insurance the exchanges offered but instead applied for Medicaid.  And why Medicaid...because the federal government foots the entire bill for those newly eligible individuals under the expanded Medicaid law...and that translates into 'We the People' getting shafted once again as it's our taxpayer dollars that foots the bill for the federal government.

And so ObamaCare allows the 'sponges' of our society to win yet again for the bottom line is that ObamaCare exists simply to lock-in oh so grateful current and future Democratic voters.  Remember, the 'sponges' already had free access to the ER as their primary source of health care, and now under ObamaCare the few that do NOT go into the expanded Medicaid program will get subsidies to pay for ObamaCare...again giving them free health care at the expense of we taxpayers.

In other words...redistribution of wealth has now become a reality under this miserable excuse of a president and his equally miserable namesake health care law.

And it gets worse for 'We the People' for NOT only are we taxpayers having our wealth redistributed but millions of us are getting a 'very special gift' because of ObamaCare... higher policy costs if NOT outright policy cancellations of our 'very happy with' health insurance...you know the insurance Obama has been saying all this time that "if you're happy with your insurance you can keep it, period" insurance. 

And as 2+ million Americans have already lost their current insurance with that number growing daily (Obama alone owns that), Obama does what he does best...he hightails it out of DC and goes into full 'campaign mode' to do damage control.

Saying in Boston that the insurance plans being cancelled were inferior to the exchange plans in ObamaCare, the reality is that those plans did NOT make everyone pay for things like pregnancy, mental health, and/or drug and alcohol abuse. Remember, in a private plan you have a choice as to whether or NOT you want those benefits...you get to say NO thank you...but under ObamaCare you must have them whether you want them or NOT.  I guess men will thank Obama for that the next time one of them goes into labor.

But karma does have a way of coming full circle as now adding to Obama's 'number 6' woes, Quality Software Services, Inc. (QSSI)...the contractor who is supposed to fix the joke of a website...was labeled 'high' risk in a recent federal investigation, having been previously charged with endangering the personal data of more than six million government beneficiaries through insufficient security controls that failed to stop its employees from connecting unauthorized USB devices to highly sensitive Medicare systems. 

And yet they are the ones chosen to 'fix' the hopefully unfixable website...probably more classmates of Michelle's are on their board I would guess.

So as Barack HUSSEIN Obama paces the floor over the number 6 ...as he tries to dream up even more ways to blame the Republicans for the ObamaCare failures...all I can say is that it could NOT have happened to a nicer guy...insert sarcasm and a hearty laugh here.

Op-ed: 
Obama’s legacy of ObamaCare LIES
By: Diane Sori

The ObamaCare fiasco…screw-ups that know NO bounds…where his ‘truths’ are NOTHING but LIES.

ObamaCare…the biggest policy LIE ever concocted and perpetrated on the American people by a sitting president….this will be Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s legacy…and ‘We the People’ will in the end have the last laugh for the main stream media seems to be turning against their self-appointed ‘supposed’ savior of us all.

And if the media does walk away from Obama maybe then the ‘truths’ they’ve hidden these past five plus years will suddenly see the light of day…will suddenly be told…and it can start with the LIES about the scandal de jour (and YES the so-called Affordable Care Act is indeed yet another scandal)…otherwise known as ObamaCare.

LIES…ObamaCare is NOTHING but LIES for to-date…and released via the main stream media…2 million Americans have already lost their private health care coverage…lost the coverage they were happy with and lost the doctors they knew and trusted...because of ObamaCare and Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s LIES.

And finally picking up on ‘We the People’s’ collective anger, some media outlets are actually reporting that the number of those being cancelled by their current insurance carriers, when all is said and done, could actually reach upwards of 16 million once happy with their plans American citizens…in other words 75% of the 19 million Americans who purchase individual health insurance will get cancellation notices because their policies do NOT meet the standards required under ObamaCare….and Barack HUSSEIN Obama and Barack HUSSEIN Obama alone will own that.

And with Obama now telling the American people what insurance companies they can buy into and what insurance companies they cannot…with Obama telling the American people what coverage they must have (like older women and older men being forced to pay for maternity care…I guess hell has indeed frozen over as it seems in Obama's world menopausal women and older men can now ‘birth’ babies) and what coverage they can NO longer have…let’s NOT forget that ObamaCare actually dictates what people must pay…and the payments are high…higher than what people paid before ObamaCare.  And why is that...simply because overcharging...subsidizing actually...is necessary to pay for the poor and those with pre-existing conditions, both of whom were once shut out of the system, and who are now signing up for either ObamaCare or for Medicaid enrollment...which by the way will soon reach a bursting point and then what happens when it does...just another disaster in waiting.

Obama’s game of ‘bait and switch’ first began with the LIES he told to get ObamaCare passed… knowing that without the LIES it would NEVER pass…and burying those LIES in legal mumbo-jumbo amongst a bill over 2700+ pages long…mumbo-jumbo that each and every American should be infuriated about…well almost every American because those with their hands-out…those existing solely by way of the ‘gimme-gimme you owe me’ mentality…will NEVER bite the hand that feeds them.

Or will they when the sticker shock of ObamaCare hits them…at least hits those that do NOT qualify for subsidies that is.

And the ultimate LIE of all LIES has now rightfully come back to haunt Obama as his words said to the American Medical Association and repeated to the American people time and again in 2009 is now being broadcast over and over by many media outlets…“No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people…If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”

In other words, Obama was saying that those happy with their insurance policies and wanting to keep those policies would be ‘grandfathered in’ under ObamaCare…but he NEVER told the American people that after the bill was passed that HHS under Kathleen Sebelius adjusted and amended some wording and inserted regulations into the bill that took the ‘grandfathering’ clause out.

And so Barack HUSSEIN Obama willingly and knowingly NOT only bold-faced LIED to the American people but also did NOT divulge…deliberately kept hidden…important information and continued to do so for these next three years. Barack HUSSEIN Obama broke his promise to ‘We the People’ so he could further his socialist agenda…an agenda that includes his so-wanted federal government takeover of America’s health care system.

And the harsh reality is that America’s health care system was NEVER the problem…the problem was the way insurance coverage itself was handled as costs continued to rise. But these were fixable problems…ObamaCare is unfixable as it's based on LIES and malignantly growing through those LIES.  ObamaCare is fundamentally flawed and unworkable, and should be completely scrapped as because of those LIES America's middle-class and working poor will both see major increases in their insurance premiums while getting less coverage, rationed medicine, and death panels as an unwanted bonus while Obama gets his wish of remaking our medical industry into a European style socialist health care system. 

Calculatingly but oh so stealthily taking away even more of our once but NO longer taken for granted freedoms, the once honored, and respected office of President of the United States has been bastardized by this incompetent, usurping, lying and traitorous miserable excuse of a so-called president…bastardized by a man who has turned both the office of the presidency and our country itself into a worldwide laughing stock with NOT only the nightmare that is ObamaCare itself but with its companion joke of a non-functioning, seems to be unfixable in its current form, website...a website NO one will take the blame for.

But if we’re lucky, all Obama’s LIES maliciously done for political expediency alone...all the ObamaCare website screw-ups coupled with the sticker shock to ‘We the People’s’ pocketbooks...just might do what the birthers, the previous scandals, and Benghazi could NOT do…and that is call Obama to task as public support for Obama’s so-called signature piece of legislation is falling by the day...by the hour…and the main stream media for once is starting to report this truth.

See...miracles do sometimes happen.
