Mrs No and I have been talking about the healthcare mess the county is in. It is pretty clear to us Obamacare will collapse under its own inertia in the near future.
Obama is a plate spinner trying desperately to keep it from crashing so far he has kept it in the air but too many of these plates are going to fall no matter what he does, Obama has spent so much of his power to force Obamacare to stay functioning, well sorta functioning. it brings up the question what happens once he leaves office, nobody else even a democrat is going to waste all their political capital to keep a barely funding program running.

Here is our list of fixes

How To Fix Obamacare

-Kept the mandate requiring coverage but drop the mandated coverage. The bloated unnecessary bundled insurance is hurting the everyday people buying and not helping the insurance companies the law was written to help.

-Make a national pool of providers, dropping the state by state, county, city divisions.

-Extend a instant credit to all individual insurance buyers with no min/max income requirement. going by national income statistic is a bad idea, families who truly need help do not fall in such clear parameters.

-Give the young and healthy these pools need an incentive of $1000(?) extra credit on their tax returns. If they want the young who do not need the health care and who probably will not pay the penalty either give them a reason to join, bribe them with cash to get something they want. Also works as a economic stimulus.

-Dismantlement Healthcare.gov. Bad idea and a very bad execution. Make a new system when people enter information without personal data to get the prices and then send them to the insurance website which are more secure and have experience keeping the data secure. (I have a feeling the data breaches from Healthcare.gov will result in the feds issuing new SS numbers to those who will be victimized by the stolen data. )

-Get rid of the high deductibles. Even if it requires more subsidies. High deductibles should be a crime, this will ruin average people/ families.

_ I'd recommend getting the IRS out of it as well but that would never happen as it the only enforcement they have and a way to take money out of peoples accounts directly (which will cause an outcry whenever it finally happens).


All these idea would do is keep Obamcare function a little while longer, maybe decades. But it still is a clumsy attempt at reform.

To save the Healthcare system

-Tort reform. Doctors and hospitals make life shattering mistakes and should pay form them but there is a industry sucking billions out of the healthcare system, most are over minor or made up circumstances.

-Force healthcare providers to charge a open rate/Fair Pay. Insurance companies and those who can pay cash get to work out cut rate deals for the same services average people pay double or more for. Ought to be illegal.

-Reform the way Hospitals staff, normal staff from janitors to nurses and doctor are I'd think in the OK range, it's the useless staff like administrators and political hires/do nothing jobs (like Mrs Obama had) need to be gotten rid of. These greedy people are bleeding dry what should be a not for profit system.

-Insurance reform. No more stat by state, or preferred provers, more importantly no more overbearing paperwork and double checking doctors referrals. Make t he system easy to use, a scan in card so there is a minimum of paperwork, if a doctor calls for test or another specialist no more jumping through hoops to have the right code on the paper work. Just a simple system would reduce the cost of staffing at Dr offices.

-Emergency Care Reform. This is more on federal level, we are all told illegal/legal immigrants/visitors put a strain on our system by not paying for the healthcare received, there are even groups who write up guides instructing how to use our system and not pay for it. Fine I'm not bothered by this so much, what I would do is have the federal government keep track of the cost (as reported to them by hospitals) and every year take the money out of the federal aid we send those countries. If we don't send that country aid then the federal government pays the bill. This would require the fair pay system where the hospital charge a fair/low price for the services.


I'm forgetting some of our points but the main idea we have is to take the burden off average people and that were we'd use the federal government to help out here and there. I also would not dump the burden on the drs or issuance. Clean it up, get rid of the waste, make it fair and keep the prices low. Then the idea of everyone having issuance to pay their own way and thus keep costs down can start to work. This idea will never work in the current system so even without the built in special interest flaws the idea behind obamacare will never work because costs will go up no matter what.

I left out what we think of the the two parties that created the problems.

You got a waiver? What will increase be in 2015? Expect huge deductible before insurance kicks in. New deductibles are 80% higher than the old total premiums Oh-bama's law will be repealed as the funding collapses.

I got a letter the other day trying to get me to sign up by the 31st for one of the new plans. BCBS said this years rates will be determined soon and it might be better on the new plans. Thing is the Obamacare plans to start with are twice the cost of my current plan and to match what I have now is a lot more. In one way I'd be better off on a subsidised plan on the other hand know the plan I have now has no weird limitations like preferred providers. 2015 I'd bet the ranch replacement plans will be closer to $600 a month.

It's all a crock O. Pelosi, Reid and Oh-bama should be hung out to dry with this NON-Affordable Unhealthy Care Act It's Medicaid expansion and nobody will utilize it because 1) the premiums are outrageous for the Gold and Platinum plans and 2) the deductibles are outrageous for the overpriced Bronze and Silver plans. It will collapse and it has ruined the economy and will continue to do so. Oh-bama should be back in Chicago tending to the gun violence there.

In the first major test of voter attitudes in 2014, Republican David Jolly won a closely watched special election over Sink for the U.S. House in Florida Tuesday, handing his party a narrow victory in a battleground district where Republicans and Democrats spent millions of dollars fine-tuning their messages on national issues ahead of the fall midterm elections. Obama won that district in 2008 and 2012. Clinton recorded a phone call last week seeking local volunteers to help with Sink's campaign, and a half dozen House Democrats emailed fundraising appeals to their own supporters on her behalf. More than a third of Jolly's campaign contributions came from members of Congress. Sink outspent Jolly by more than 3 to 1 on television advertising. Vice President Joe Biden campaigned for the Democratic nominee in a heated House special election in Florida that's widely considered a bellwether race for the 2014 midterms. Biden appeared at a fundraising event for Democrat Alex Sink.

Nearly six in ten Americans now disapprove of President Obama's job performance, with just 41 percent giving him a thumbs-up. That's the top line result of a new Associated Press national poll, representing Obama's worst performance in the history of the survey. Obama didn't fare any better on most issues, earning poor marks on his handling of the economy (39/59), the federal budget (36/63), immigration (38/61), and foreign affairs (40/58). The survey reveals a sharp deterioration in the president's personal favorability, which dropped to (42/51). Bizarrely, the AP appears to not have asked any questions about Obamacare, despite any number of news hooks -- including the impending (but extended) enrollment deadline.

CBS News' latest poll did ask about Obamacare, however. It showed public approval of the health law underwater (41/53), the exact same margin as this week's brutal Morning Consult poll. That survey noted that undecided likely 2014 voters disapprove of Obamacare by a 40 point margin. Obama is upside-down on healthcare approval (40/56) in the CBS poll, in which respondents said the current healthcare sign-up process is going poorly by nearly a two-to-one margin. A fresh Fox News poll also contains unwelcome news for the White House, with Obama's overall job approval sucking wind at (40/53). Fox polled two issues related to American prestige -- the cancellation of our space shuttle program (the US has struck a deal to pay Russia roughly $71 million per astronaut, per space flight, because we currently lack the capability to launch our own people into space), and the Obama administration's decision to transfer control of the internet from the United States to an international body.

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll gives President Obama an approval rating of only 41%, the lowest mark of his tenure in this survey.

That's down from the 46% approval rating Obama had for the first three months of 2014, according to the poll.

The numbers bode ill for Democrats in the November elections, as the party fights to keep control of the Senate.

From the Washington Post:

"Just 42% approve of his handling of the economy, 37% approve of how he is handling the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and 34% approve of his handling of the situation involving Ukraine and Russia.

"Obama's low rating could be a significant drag on Democratic candidates this fall -- past elections suggest that when approval ratings are as low as Obama's, the president's party is almost certain to suffer at the ballot box in November."

Weary of waiting for an economic recovery worth its name, a frustrated American public has sent Barack Obama’s job approval rating to a career low – with a majority in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll favoring a Republican Congress to act as a check on his policies.
Registered voters by 53-39 percent in the national survey say they’d rather see the Republicans in control of Congress as a counterbalance to Obama’s policies than a Democratic-led Congress to help support him. It was similar in fall 2010, when the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives and gained six Senate seats.

Up to 2008, startups outpaced business failures by about 100,000 per year. But in the past six years, that number turned upside down. We are at minus 70,000 in terms of business survival.

Small business is dying in this country, and this will have catastrophic consequences for our economy and way of life. Up to 50% of all jobs are in small businesses, and about 65% of all new good jobs are created by them, according to the Small Business Administration. Without startups and growing small businesses, nothing will fix America’s economic energy, let alone create new good jobs.

What’s worse, the country’s leadership isn’t doing much to revive the entrepreneurial spirit of small businesspeople. More than half of U.S. small-business owners say health care costs (54%) and taxes on small businesses (53%) are hurting their operating environment “a lot,” making these the top two concerns among eight issues tested in a Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business survey.

I'm more than angry at the top 5 in gitmo for a deserter. It is a tough call even if he was a real pow. At the very least all Americans held captive should be part if the deal as well

The percentage of Americans approving of President Barack Obama’s handling of foreign policy issues has dropped to the lowest level of his presidency as he faces multiple overseas challenges, including in Iraq, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Additionally, the public is evenly split on whether Obama is a competent manager of the federal bureaucracy. And a majority of respondents – 54 percent – believe the term-limited president is no longer able to lead the country.

Sadly we have gone from a country that suspected the White house and other branches were lying to us. Like the Bush admin about various parts of the war on terror. To a nation that know the white house is lying to our face for political reasons and the other agencies are acting on political motivation and are willing to lie and destroy evidence if it means the party they support gets more power.

Valerie Plame indecent is an example of the two parties playing power game with pawns inside the CIA. Plame's husband was a DNC party hack who got a job that allowed him to write a political option piece because of other Clinton pawns in the CIA. Although the Bush White house didn't do right, Plame was not "blown" by them her husband had a webpage describing himself as married to "Jane Bond", yet it played out on party lines becoming a national story.

I mention this story only because it easier to see where the pawns were and why they did what they did. Today we have government that refuses to answer questions, and federal employees who willing cover up unlawful actions. We have people who should be testifying in congress honestly about the NSA & CIA who lie when it suits them.

Every federal agency has a "police force" and are buying all kinds of armaments for no apparent legal reason.

We have a president ignoring congress blaming straw men. this angers me the most because when a president starts blaming talk radio and others they are off the mark it. It is the American people who are upset, those tools either just inform or are lucky enough to look like they are ringleaders when it the local people upset telling their congressmen about it. The political parties would rather forget about the local people and concentrate on their national agenda.

In a way I think the IRS has decided their own fate. It is a political tool now and as such will be disbanded as some point. The CIA survived in the 1970 because the CIA head went to congress honesty and didn't pull any punches, it hurts the party in power and it is unpopular today because these two parties are clawing at each other for any scrap of power.

Last thing I'll say is the media is just as much to blame, they should be keeping the parties in check but they take sides. That woman in the debates who told the robot Romney the Robot Obama was correct when as we can see years later the robot Obama was wrong. We don't watch the evening national news it doesn't take a few minutes to see they have a POV very different from our local concerns. The media needs to go after every story regardless if they think it can be a political football. Or refuse to look at a story because they feel it is beneath them. New papers are dying real reporting in stead of coddling the party they support would sell more papers.

Brian Williams did NOT report his own network's NBC's poll results this week Dr. No What does that tell you? Brian Williams is a disgrace as is the entire NBC news division; however, NBC's Chuckie Todd did shock the media world when he actually said that the NBC poll in effect, ends Oh-bama's presidency
