The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

The more Americans know about Obamacare the less we like it
Nancy Pelosi was right about one thing, they had to pass Obamacare so we could find out what's in it. And boy oh boy, what's in it is really, really unpopular. It seems that the more we find out, the less we like it.
A new Fox News poll shows that only 15% of Americans believe Obamacare is just fine in its current form. A whopping 78% of us would rather make significant changes to it or see Obamacare repealed altogether.
Count me among the repealers. But then you already knew that.
Small businesses aren't fans of health care reform. And now that New Jersey has signed on to a pilot program to "help" uninsured people with chronic, pre-existing conditions, we can see just how laughably pointless the so-called reforms really are.
Providing people with pre-existing conditions access to health insurance is one of the top goals of Obamacare, right? And sure enough, by following the provisions in the new law New Jersey now offers residents a choice between 2 different policies, both of which cover all medical expenses from day 1, with no exclusions whatsoever.
Great! I know a guy, a few years younger than me, who needs insurance. He lost his job, COBRA ran out, and he's certainly got "pre-existing conditions".
Let's see how much a shiny new Obamacare policy will cost him!
If he's willing to fork out a $2500 deductible, Obamacare is only $363.24 per month ($4,358.88 per year). That's almost $7,000 out of pocket before he sees a dime in reimbursement. Yeah, an unemployed, partially disabled guy can definitely afford that!
OK, what about the "no out of pocket" (except for unspecified co-pays) plan? $487.78 per month. A comparable bargain at $5853.35 for the year. It's one of those "network" plans though; use their doctors or you pay the full freight.
But really Barry, six or seven grand a year to an unemployed guy is a helluva lot of money. You might as well make it 60 grand; he can't afford it either way.
And yet the Obamabots can't seem to wrap their feeble minds around yesterday's Michigan referendum results. See, Obamacare requires my friend to buy health insurance. At the point of a gun they'll take six thousand dollars that he doesn't have and pat themselves on the back for "helping" him.
There in a nutshell is everything you need to know about why Obamacare is
Teh Fail.
