Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits'

Re: Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits

:2wave: Hello Troll Princess. Good to see you.

- You mean, Obama shouldn't cry like a baby, because the House wants him to cut the grass if he wants his allowance?

Here you go with the add they are running for boehner because he does cry so often.



- Everyone that sees one thing in the same way as Republicans is a Republican? That is an interesting way to see things. Not productive, mind you and not very helpful, when you are trying to grasp reality, but refreshing in an quaint way.


Yeah, you will be in that group for me until I see some actual reason to remove you. I do not have to play pretend with you. I can go with reality.
 
Re: Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits

Frankly it is just as convincing as the enrollment numbers the Administration has released but it is quite premature to assess the Acts success/failure...time will tell.

Wait...that convincing editorial claimed the administration did not release enrollment numbers. Are you saying the editorial is lying? If it is, then you can hardly call it convincing. And if it isn't, where did your claim about numbers released by the administration come from?
 
Re: Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits

its not an editorial it is news now if you think the news provided is nonfactual then you discredit it by posting your own facts to counter it

just because you don't like the facts that doesn't make them an opinion

I cannot imagine why any one would consider an opinion piece an editorial. Can you figure it out?
 
Re: Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits

...and that's just little ol' RI - kinda blows your single digit 'fact' out of the water.

It's early yet for a victory dance. They have until Dec. 15th to get coverage for Jan. 1 and until the end of March during this open enrollment period.
that's RI not the federal run exchange that handles the applicants from 26 states that decided not to set up their own exchanges
so you proved nothing in my post wrong
nice try.

Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits' - Forbes

Obama care is going to need enrollment in the tens of millions by Dec 15 or it will be a bust. more then half of those tens of millions will need to be young and healthy to keep the premiums where they are at, or the price will have to be raised even higher then they already are

WWII wasn't won in 4 days either.
 
Re: Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits

A quick bit of digging reveals that you are hugging a story written by a Romney adviser who quotes insurance industry sources and a right-wing think tank. And even though he admits that the enrollment numbers haven't been released... he knows because an anonymous insurance company guy told him so. And you are buying it?

I wouldn't rule it out, when I add it to what else I've seen. I haven't heard of a single successful enrollee in either forum I post in frequently, no one in our community has successfully enrolled, as far as the three trained PPACA navigators our community hired know about, and then you see stories like this:

Meet Chad Henderson, the Obamacare enrollee tons of reporters are calling

It is maybe a safe assumption that the numbers are extremely low if the people who actually get on are so hard to find that they're essentially becoming famous.

Maybe the OP article is not 100% credible, but I've seen nothing concrete to prove otherwise either.

and you believe Obama? after he lied and lied and lied "You can keep you insurance" lie "you can keep you doctor" lie "it will save the public 2500 a year" lie

so should I believe Forbes one of the most respected magazines for news, business and financial advice that is read by millions around the word that no one has discredited what I posted, or should I believe Obama and his corrupt administration that have been proven liars over and over again? I think I will stick with Forbes

Probably because proving a negative is a well known logical fallacy.

no. you can prove it wrong by posting the numbers that have enrolled in the federal exchange.
Now wouldn't you think if it was even a mediocre amount they would be releasing that amount and spin it as being good. but I guess you cant spin single digits to sound good could you?

In your own article it said the numbers have not been posted. All you are doing here is grasping at any straw that has the same level of ODS you wish to adhere to. If its an uprovable story that bashes Obama, you'll be there... facts be damned.

Obamacare is never going to work. Anyone who bought into the utopian rhetoric is a fool.

Obamacare is basically like Barack Obama trying to create an MMO like World of Warcraft from scratch, except he's forcing everyone to play his game. All 300+ million of us. You must subscribe and play the game or pay the fine/go to jail. He's never written code. He's never studied C++ or the latest/greatest 3d modeling application, but his cult worshipers assure his video game is going to the greatest game ever made. Plus he gets on a stage, surrounds himself with people in Doctor's robes and reads cool speeches from a teleprompter. He's a great salesmen. We're now day 4 into launch and you can't even load his website. It's not even in the pre alpha stage yet and these clowns have had unlimited amounts of money and 3 years to develop the best MMO ever.

The result is a game that won't run and has Atari 2600 graphics. The worst part is you are forced to payfor/play it. Welcome to centralized Government control ie Obot/Prog utopia

Just a little FYI for the future, it is a good thing to not claim you don't care right after arguing about it. It lets me know you care. Oh, and also the bragging clues me in on that also. But if you want to pretend you do not care that you are a republican feel free.
 
Re: Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits

Yeah, like faux news is the truth. Look, I am right with you when you say MSNBC is the democrat propaganda channel, and CNN is the present administration mouthpeice. Don't tell me your lies are the truth because I do not look to the main stream media for the news, I actually have had to go look stuff up for myself.
Me? I haven't had cable in over ten years, do not watch anything coming into my house but netflix ...and whatever I look up on computer. I do not want to be told by media what to think. So, it looks like we have similar M.O.s with regards to information gathering, guess I am just better at it.

As regards the media,I didn't say any lies and you get to believe whatever nonsense you may, I was talking about liberal media putting one over on the public, lying to them about Obama, his intentions/motives and not calling him on his lies and never ending incompetence.
 
Re: Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits

I really am not sure how good Obamacare is as a policy. But this thing is of a societal dimension that makes me think that the first few weeks or even years will not prove its success or failure. That is why I find it so strange that Obama was willing to shut down government instead of postponing the program's start date. That has the feeling of the behavior I would expect from a juvenile gang leader and not so much from a mature and well educated person. I hope he does not overshoot. On German public radio this morning they were discussion the probabilities of the shutdown becoming a constitutional problem like "7 Days in May" citing Obama's promise to the soldiers, he would keep on paying them as evidence to watch closely.

The precedent of a President succumbing to blackmail would be far more damaging to the strength of our Republic. The T's will be overridden by the sane eventually and the country will be stronger for it.
 
Re: Enrollment In Obamacare's Federal Exchange, So Far, May Only Be In 'Single Digits

Yes...because at this stage no one seems to know...except:

If it is, then you can hardly call it convincing. And if it isn't, where did your claim about numbers released by the administration come from?

They MUST have as HOJ is claiming:
People seem to be signing up at a brisk rate

Yes, God forbid he should ever have to actually compromise with anyone that opposes him, or his policies. It's just not what wanna be dictators do, doncha know.

What have the Republicans offered in this supposed compromise? And since when do the 161 Republican-sponsored amendments to the ACA not count as compromise?

Come on man, they started with defunding, then went to delay, now remove med device tax. What the child non leader Obama offered? Nothing.

The method we use to repeal laws we don't like has been followed for 230 years or so, if you think we will allow a bunch of sore losers to change that you are sorely mistaken. The blame for this falls squarely on the Republicans for allowing their party to be hijacked by morons that don't care what the people want but do the bidding of the billionaire backers that put them in power. It is disgusting and it must fall. When will Boner grow a pair?

Come on man it's like a kidnapper bargaining down the ransom. It is the principle now that must be taught. We won't pay ransom even if is 1 dollar. Put down your weapons and release the hostages and THEN we can talk. This **** has got to stop .

The T's got all they wanted in the ACTUAL CR. $80 billion less than the Dems wanted. The Dems agreed to THAT compromise in exchange for the broken promise of a vote on a clean bill with no extemporaneous demands attacked on to it.. Imagine that! Just like that the Republicans got everything they wanted in the budget just for threatening this so...... they decided it was so easy they could get more . In true right wing fashion, GREED is going to bring the ship down I'm afraid. They are already bobbing around without a rudder. LOL
They have now put themselves in the position of voting to pay 100's of 1000's of federal workers for NOT Working. In fact their actions are forbidding them from working even though we are paying them full salary and when this ends there will be 10's of 1000's of hours of overtime just to catch up with what they missed. Now that's something every fiscal Conservative can really get there teeth into. LOL again

The PPACA is signed into law and has been upheld by the Supreme Court. In what universe is "defunding the law" "delaying the law", and "gimme something, anything" reasonable? There are plenty of problems with the law but instead of trying to repeal it 40+ TIMES the Republicans should have been pointing out and fixing it's supposed errors. They had two damn years to think of something besides "repeal the law".

Thanks for pointing that out. They Reps. now want us to forget that they got plenty of what they wanted in exchange for the promise of some Rep. votes. But as usual they lied about that and AFTER they demanded and got the amendments they got spooked and all Republican support was withdrawn. Negotiating with them is worse then pointless it seems. They just turn around and stab you in the back. It is a pattern lately and quite unsettling.
You wonder how some of them can sleep at night.

LOL. You got it completely backwards. Obama and the Senate Dems are demanding the ransom. And the GOP doesn't want to pay.

But what are facts to a liberal, nothing.
