Remember all this?
J Nolte, Breitbart:
Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” David Axelrod, a senior advisor to President Obama during his first term, admitted that only a “vast majority” of Americans can keep their health insurance plan if they like it. This is the first admission (I am aware of) from a top administration official that President Obama’s relentlessly-repeated solemn promise to the American people that “If you like your insurance plan, you will keep it,” was and is not true.
Here is Axelrod on “Morning Joe” admitting Obama’s promise was phony […]
AXELROD: Most people are going to keep their plan, Senator [Coburn], and you know that. The head of Blue Cross in Florida was on television yesterday and said there’s a small number of people being transferred to plans that have a higher quality. Most of them will be subsidized and end up paying less for those plans.
SENATOR TOM COBURN: And double the deductibles
AXELROD: The majority of people in this country — the vast majority — are keeping their plan.”
Though the news coverage is still not accurate (more on that below), the story of middle class Americans losing the health insurance they were happy with, and promised they could keep, is finally starting to break through in the mainstream media.Hundreds of thousands who were perfectly happy with their health plans, and took Obama at his word, have already been blindsided by cancellation notices. Soon, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the same will happen to millions.
[…]
Despite what the media and the White House are saying, you are not getting a “higher quality plan.” You are being forced to buy a more expensive plan that includes all kinds of services a huge swath of Americans don’t want or need: Vision and dental (which are affordable in the free market), maternity and newborn care, contraception, and coverage for drug, alcohol, and mental health issues.
Or, to borrow from Eric Stratton, “You fucked up. You trusted us!”
Yet, If it hadn’t been for the ongoing epic failure of healthcare.guv—ObamaCare—we may have missed the long road of computer scandals that seems to now serve as the government’s way to feed mega money to their friends and supporters.
Indeed, the ObamaCare website failure may unwittingly end up blowing the whistle on one of the biggest government slush fund set ups in latter day history because the runaway costs on healthcare.gov uncovers a long trajectory of failed multi-million dollar government websites that point to coincidences way too many.
CGI, the Canadian company that launched healthcare.gov, is peopled with friends of the Obamas, including Michelle Obama’s Princeton school chum, Toni Townes-Whitley. CGI is not just the company behind the healthcare.gov epic fail. CGI is also the company behind the $2.7-billion failed, Liberal-launched Canadian Gun Registry that was so plagued with corruption and mismanagement it brought on an investigation by Canadian Auditor General Sheila Fraser.
Government website glitches can make for perfect stall tactics allowing timelines for election-bound politicians to get past elections like the upcoming 2014 midterms.
Healthcare.gov—Jeff Zeints-guaranteed as “good to go” by the end of November 2013—can rely on a company that could have already proven itself “too big to not fail”.
When you combine millions of people losing health coverage with no mechanism for obtaining a substitute, even one at double the cost, or without a guarantee that one’s even enrolled after spending hours on a failed website, you will have an epic disaster come January 1. What’s next? The socialists decide that good intentions are good enough? Medical care providers ordered to treat people for free if they merely thought about trying to get insurance? I fear for what 2014 will bring.
Steyn is very good about “Conseillers en Gestion et Informatique.”
Nothing says “Trustiness” more than having Jon Corzine’s backing.
French-Canadians, writing the ludicrously expensive, inoperative, liberty-destroying websites that American’s won’t write. “Because H1B visas!” if you ask every lefty tech billionare.
Though why you’d do so isn’t exactly clear.
