AllIs the lack of privacy on the Obamacare website merely accidental? Just another one of government’s endless series of screw-ups?
Or, is the lack of privacy evidence that a fundamental purpose for Obamacare is to collect personal information on everyone who signs up and then freely disperse that information to everything that currently counts as, or is closely associated with, “government”?
Even though the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) has been described as President Obama’s “signature legislation” (the primary achievement of his administration), there are recent reports that President Obama doesn’t want his name associated with that Act. In other words, Obama doesn’t want people to refer to the law as “Obamacare”.
Even Obama is trying to distance himself from the “Obamacare” debacle.
Maybe we could change the name to “Democare”–but I doubt the Democrats would agree to be tarred with that brush, either.
Hmm . . . how ’bout “Anonymous-care” (then nobody gets blamed)? Maybe “Terrorist-care” and then we can blame Al Caida rather than Obama.
The lady (Ms. Campbell) being grilled by Congressman Joe Barton in the following video is at least one of the contractors on the Obamacare website and is probably the primary contractor. If so, she is probably the former girl friend of Michelle Obama who reportedly won the Obamacare website contract with a no-compete bid of $93 million. In other words, the contract was simply given to her and her alone. And then she reportedly ran up another $600 million in cost over-runs. So be respectful. You’re probably looking at a woman who, despite her personal incompetence, has grown rich by knowing Michelle Obama. (It’s not whatcha know, it’s who y’know–you know?)
I’ll bet that, secretly, the Democrats would be more than willing to let Obamacare die or be seriously amended right now. Why? Because Obamacare is going to cost the Democrats a lot of seats in Congress and the Senate in next year’s election.
I’ll also bet that Obamacare will survive at least until after the A.D. 2014 election. Why? Because the Republicans won’t let it die. Why? Because Obamacare has the potential to cause a lot of Republicans to be elected next year.
So, we’re treated to the spectacle of Democrats (who loved the idea of Obamacare) now wishing it would die–while Republicans (who hated the idea of Obamacare) now keeping Obamacare on life support.
Beware what you wish for, hmm? The Democrats wished for Obamacare–and now they got it–good and hard.
The following video isn’t big news. It’s just one more minor collision in the train wreck we call “Obamacare”; just one more example of government breaking its own laws and lying to conceal the break.
