This is an update to the original story:
[Excerpt from National Review] […] On October 17, the Obama Department of Health and Human Services, represented by the Obama Justice Department, submitted a brief to the federal district court in Washington, opposing Priests for Life’s summary judgment motion. On page 27 of its brief, the Justice Department makes the following remarkable assertion:
The [ACA’s] grandfathering provision’s incremental transition does not undermine the government’s interests in a significant way. [Citing, among other sources, the Federal Register.] Even under the grandfathering provision, it is projected that more group health plans will transition to the requirements under the regulations as time goes on. Defendants have estimated that a majority of group health plans will have lost their grandfather status by the end of 2013. (more…)
(Via Capitol City Project) In Wisconsin, dozens of conservative groups and allies of Gov. Scott Walker are undergoing political intimidation from the left at the hands of a special prosecutor.
Subpoenas have been issued demanding correspondence and donor information of right-leaning organizations and individuals and raids have been conducted resulting in law enforcement officers taking computers and files in a secret investigation, according to reports.
“In recent weeks, special prosecutor Francis Schmitz has hit dozens of conservative groups with subpoenas demanding documents related to the 2011 and 2012 campaigns to recall Governor Walker and state legislative leaders,” the Wall Street Journal writes.
It continues, “Copies of two subpoenas we’ve seen demand ‘all memoranda, email . . . correspondence, and communications’ both internally and between the subpoena target and some 29 conservative groups, including Wisconsin and national nonprofits, political vendors and party committees. The groups include the League of American Voters, Wisconsin Family Action, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, Americans for Prosperity—Wisconsin, American Crossroads, the Republican Governors Association, Friends of Scott Walker and the Republican Party of Wisconsin.” (more…)
Of all the narrative collapses which could possibly have occurred, this has to be the most devastating. Jessica Sanford reflects the ACTUAL REALITY of ObamaCare and President Obama used her example as advocacy. WoW ! If the mainstream media picks up this story Obamacare might just collapse from the publicity.
Instead of $169/month as she thought, and President Obama claimed, her actual Obamacare premium cost is $621/month. Even higher than her pre-Obamacare quotes from private insurance companies:
WASHINGTON – Jessica Sanford, the Federal Way woman who got a shout-out from President Obama last month with her fan letter for the Affordable Care Act, got a rather rude awakening last week. Turns out she doesn’t qualify for a tax credit after all.
At least that’s what the letter said that she got from the state. Now she says her dream of affordable health insurance has gone poof. She can’t afford it. She’ll have to go without. “I’m really terribly embarrassed,” she says. “It has completely turned around on me. I mean, completely.”Chalk it up to a bollixed-up state website that apparently still has major problems. Originally it said Sanford and her child would get a whopping tax credit that would reduce their total premium to $169 a month. Now the state is telling her it goofed – twice – and she has to pay full ticket. (more…)
Tonight Greta Van Sustern stepped into the fray and highlights the increasing trend of Black on non-Black violence. It’s exhibited under a number of names: Knock Out Game, Polar Bear Hunting, etc. but essentially it’s all the same.
Here are some examples: (more…)
The media is beginning to outline the financial insurance “bailouts” embedded into Obamacare.
But there’s a BIGGER picture being overlooked. Remember, this is entire process is now under the political control of Denis McDonough and Valerie Jarrett. All other considerations need to be thrown out – or you end up chasing your tail.
Obamacare, the construct thereof, the actual reality of it, is a political risk to the Democrats. The White House (McDonough / Jarrett) does not want the HHS website to be open because it now represents a reality flaw inherent in Obamacare.
Average people will be paying more for less. A working website that allows such comparisons is not in their best political interests.
So they will work diligently to keep these truths hidden. First, by manipulating the structural architechture of the website itself; second, by directing people away from the government aspect and directly to contact with the insurance providers.
The McDonough/ValJar goal is to insert distance between the real pain of an awakened electorate and the connection to that pain being caused by the White House.

President Barack Obama’s mishandling of the Affordable Care Act rollout has been incompetent, Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward said, but it doesn’t rise to past president-dooming scandals. (more…)
