A week ago we posted the story which aired on CNN and outlined the White House threatening insurance companies to keep their mouths shut and don’t talk bad about Obamacare.
When we shared the story we included the following paragraph:

Whenever you see the words “threats” and “directly from the White House” in one sentence or phrase, you can be intellectually confident President Obama’s Chief of Staff, Denis ”The Fixer” McDonough, is the source of the pressure.

Some people took exception, a few even emailed pointing out that Denis McDonough is now the President’s Chief of Staff and would not be the one “out of the office and pressuring anyone”.   It’s simply “not his job to protect policy” and “he doesn’t have time to fill that role” was the essential framework.
Well, we don’t think Treepers are stupid.   Nor will we obfuscate by not pointing to things which -while they might break from traditional framework- are more than likely to be the reality of what’s going on:
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, sounds like a duck, looks like a duck – it isn’t a flippin’ swan that waddles.

… “and MSNBC let you say that sh!t with a straight face”?

CAUTION ! YOU MUST remember the ideology behind who we are talking about here. This is NOT a normal presidency prone to changing directions based on public pressure. This IS a radical insurgent presidency committed to advancing a cause REGARDLESS of opinion.
Radical Alinsky-minded liberals, and Alinsky-trained community organizers, have spent years honing the skill of goal advancement AMID ADVERSITY.  Even if their behavior is acceptable to 5% of a collective group – they are able to disconnect themselves from their “id”.
There is actually a psychological training they go through where they learn to override the normal function of the psychological “id”.
In normal people the “id”, which is the unconscious sense of guilt and personality, generates needs of fulfillment from recognition of ‘doing-the-right-thing’.   In normal people if these needs are not satisfied, the result is a state of anxiety or tension. (more…)

The below paragraphs are excerpted from a larger article available at American Commitment.Org Explaining the changes to all Americans under Obamacare structural standards testing, “Essential Health Benefits”:

According to HealthPocket: “The data shows that there will be a near complete transformation of the individual and family health insurance market starting in 2014. Less than 2% of the existing health plans in the individual market today provide all the Essential Health Benefits required under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).”
Even the best of the best plans are being canceled in the individual market. Bob Laszewski, a top industry analyst, described his cancelation:

“I have been in this business for 40 years. I know junk health insurance when I see it and I know ‘Cadillac’ health insurance when I see it. Right now I have ‘Cadillac’ health insurance… The new plan would have a deductible $500 higher than the one I now have and a lot more if I go “out-of-network” inside the rest of the Blue Cross national network… And, wait all you people telling me rate shock does not exist, the new far more restricted plan costs 66% more than our current monthly premium.”

Not in the individual market?  Scott Conover did an extensive analysis on Forbes showing that there are also changes in the small-group market – where only five percent of plans offered required pediatric dental check-ups – and the large-group market.  He found that overall 129 million Americans will no longer have the health plan they had, including millions whose previous employer coverage will be outright dropped.  (read full article)

CNN obtains White House internal communication (memo) sharing the Obama administration’s anxiety that if the website actually begins working people will find out Obamacare costs more with less coverage and fewer options. 

In our estimation there will be roughly  “NINE stages” of national outrage.  The high pricing and limited coverage options are only “stage THREE“.

Washington (CNN) – Officials expressed concern that the next shoe to drop in the evolving story about the Affordable Care Act would be disappointment from consumers once they are able to get on the troubled HealthCare.gov website – disappointment because of sticker shock and limited choice, according to a new document obtained by CNN.

(*note, we are predicting nine stages)

– Bumping this post from several weeks ago ! –

I SWEAR you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist Obamacare good night.   Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it; And they will….

The Brave House Freshman Class Wrote:   “As you are well aware it is highly likely that Majority Leader Harry Reid will move to amend the House-passed CR and remove the language from the bill that defunds Obamacare before sending it back to the House.

“As you are also aware,  such a motion can only proceed if three-fifths of the Senate invokes cloture and allows this amendment process to begin. Simply put, the only chance that Senator Reid has to pursue this course of action is if six or more Republican Senators join the Democrats in voting to invoke cloture.

“Therefore, it shall be our policy to regard any cloture vote that gives Senator Reid a green light to reinstate Obamacare into this CR the same as a vote for Obamacare itself.”  (link)

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Kentucky), who voted to support Harry Reid and Obamacare, is up for re-election this cycle.   His primary challenger is Matt Bevin.    I call on all who hold a similar disposition toward the manipulative leadership within the Republican party to give consideration to supporting Matt Bevin.

If you live in Kentucky – Vote for him.    If you can’t vote for him, help him, support him.   (Click Here)

… and ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it…

Axelrod-isms:

• People didn’t lose their health insurance – They’re “transitioning” to better coverage.

• The website is not broken – It’s encountering a “glitch”.

• They didn’t promise you could keep your healthcare plan TODAY –  They promised only the plans you liked which were being used before the law was signed were protected.   Not the ones issued over the past 3 years.

• The law was created to protect a breathtaking, and extraordinarily massive, number of people who were uninsured (30 million) – The number of people who have, or will, lose their coverage is a very, very small number, a “sliver” (15 million).

*Note:  I love how David Gregory is just filled with angst.   Why were we, your loyal supporters, defenders of ‘the one’,… why were we, set up for this pounding ?   You could have avoided it…. why…. oh why… didn’t you stop him ?   Whyyyyyyy?   

The best thing that can happen to turn public opinion solidly against Obamacare is to keep putting this guy, Ezekiel Emanuel, out there as the face of it.  He absolutely personifies all that is associated with the ‘we-know-better-than-you’ arrogance:

You can watch him in action HERE

He hides his construction of socialized death health panels by asserting he is against euthanasia.   However, this is belied by the fact, in his own admissions, he is a noted advocate for the withdrawal of medical treatment for the “elderly” or those “beyond help”.
