That’s Putting a Positive Spin on It

Head of HHS, Sylvia Burwell, demonstrated why she’s in government and not business.

After admitting that Obamacare will enroll maybe 100,000 new people next year, when the program needs 11 million more to enroll, she provided this quote, “but ultimately, having fewer uninsured Americans to sign up is a good problem to have.”

That would be like McDonald’s saying “serving fewer customers is the kind of failure we can live with,” or Coke claiming, “selling fewer sodas than we projected isn’t all bad.”

I wonder how the insurers feel about this.

  1. Congress needs to learn that no matter how smart they think they are, or how powerfull they think they are, the God given laws of mathematics and accounting don’t change because they passed some stupid law. i.e. Obamacare.

  2. The lunatics are running the asylum. I honestly believe you could cut the federal government by 50% and see absolutely no reduction in productivity. When meeting 1% of a goal is acceptable, it is time to take a chain saw to overhead.

  3. the system that was designed to fail, is failing even faster then they thought…… our next President-coronated will have to move to single-payer earlier than planned

    …nothing to see here sheeple folks….move along

  4. Yep, it’s much better for you peons to be paying in your mandatory tax, fine or shared contribution, (whatever you call it), give us the money Suckers, without getting any service whatsoever.

  5. Now I’m with you. If we just borrow some more trillions from China, pay for the 20-30 million Numericans, then we’ll need a shitload more feral employees to make it all happen… AND lower the unemployment rate.

  6. Well, after I retired, early because I was told to go home and not come back, I had health insurance via my wife’s employer insurance plan. They dropped it last Oct. They could no longer afford to provide it.

    I can’t afford it. Well I guess I could but I wouldn’t be able to afford to do much of anything but stay at home and eat as cheaply as possible.

    I refuse to sign up for Unaffordablecare. The feds are the last bunch I would want to hand over all my personal and financial information to, just because, and because their computer systems are not secure. And it’s a nightmare to deal with. See Sharyl Attkisson’s files.

    I think it’s immoral to have my insurance subsidized by money taken by thread of force from others or from money they are forced to pay to buy insurance coverage for things they don’t need insurance for. The money pooled for shared risk of the old insurance system was something quite different. I will have to pay the penalty at tax time. They can steal my money, but they can’t make me behave the way they want me to. Screw ’em.

    (fingers crossed, prayers said that no one in the family has a bad accident or comes down with a serious disease)
