It Depends on What the Meaning of “Fixed” Is…

President Obama is going to do the only thing he knows how to do…campaign.  Health Care.gov is “fixed,” as if that is as likley to be true as anything else any of them have said for the past four years about the Democrat Party water-boarding of US Healthcare; but honesty never mattered before and it does not matter now.   Every day until Christmas (I assume that is Christmas 2013) the Liar in Chief will be speaking to diminishing crowds of  fainting groupies, OFA-holes, or whomever they have to pay to show up for the Regime-managed propaganda photos, about how great ObamaCare and Heathcare.gov are and how mush ‘America’ cares.

As one pundit remarked in regard to this scheme, and I’m paraphrasing… even if it is fixed (and it is not) you still lied.  People can’t keep their plan or their Doctor (nor their hospital nor treatments).  These things don’t change regardless of degrees of dysfunction.

The Web site is still a major disaster and you may manage to complete that sign-up process but that does not mean you have or will have health insurance.

Some insurers say they have been deluged with phone calls from people who believe they have signed up for a particular health plan, only to find that the company has no record of the enrollment. Others say information they received about new enrollees was inaccurate or incomplete, so they had to track down additional data — a laborious task that will not be feasible if data is missing for tens of thousands of consumers.

In still other cases, insurers said, they have not been told how much of a customer’s premium will be subsidized by the government, so they do not know how much to charge the policyholder.

Talk about a rude surprise:

Bob Shlora of Alpharetta, Ga., was supposed to be a belated Obamacare success story. After weeks of trying, the 61-year-old told ABC News he fully enrolled in a new health insurance plan through the federal marketplace over the weekend, and received a Humana policy ID number to prove it.

But two days later, his insurer has no record of the transaction, Shlora said, even though his account on the government website indicates that he has a plan.

“I feel like this: My application was taken … by a bureaucrat, it was put on a conveyor belt and it’s still going around, and it’s never going to leave the building,” he said. “I’ve lost hope. If it happens, great.”

Obama administration officials acknowledged today that some of the roughly 126,000 Americans who completed the torturous online enrollment process in October and November might not be officially signed up with their selected issuer, even if the website has told them they are.

Millions have lost a plan they liked and wanted to keep, and millions more will, even before the employer mandate kicks in and tosses tens of millions off the plans they like and want to keep becasue that’s the point.  The rates per month are astronomical in all but a few cases (listening for that you will save $2500.00 or whatever it is refrain from the OFA Chorus but not hearing it…) and the deductibles are outlandish as well.   But that’s all dirty water under the bridge of lies; the folks who were dumped in October and November that could not or still can’t access Healthcare.gov (or have and accessed it and are on the bureaucratic conveyor to nowhere) will still find themselves with no coverage in January, and perhaps for several months after.

Not only can you not keep your plan (nor your doctor, hospital, etc) you wont have a plan, not a real one.  Sure, you’ll have a voucher, something like a skee-ball ticket you can show to someone, somewhere, at some future date, that might make you eligible for something labeled health insurance, but with little or no resemblance to the plan you liked and lost.

Wait.  Maybe that’s it.  One Skee-ball ticket wont even get you a pencil, but a few thousand and you can score the tiny plastic troll doll or in this case, some health insurance.  You probably have to “navigate” that rube-goldbergian nightmare over and over until you’ve collected so many Policy ID numbers you can exchange them for one of those unsold Obama Our Stripes T-Shirts  (the one that looked like the bloody Benghazi hand print) and a ticket to stand and applaud when directed by the brown shorts when Obama comes to town to tell us all how great his signature legislation is now that the web site is only slightly less crappy–leaving behind a mass of uninsured and a bill for the cost of his visit for the locals to pay for.
