Our CSPAN Tweets on 09/19/2013 ObamaCare Hearing

original article written by Net Advisor™

WASHINGTON, DC. On Sept. 19, 2013, a Congressional Hearing on Enrollment of Obama Care was held in Washington DC. Needless to say, it was an eye opener. The proponents talk about what’s great about it, but have yet to substantiate their claims using solid independent data.

Our conclusion is that aside from the fact that people are losing jobs, losing work hours, and losing their health-insurance BECAUSE of the implementation of ObamaCare, we see high risk of taxpayer scams that are likely to take place.

According to a piece published in the Boston Herald, costs to initially fund ObamaCare are expected to be $40 Billion vs the original $5 Billion – That’s 800% over original costs.

Gary Cohen, director of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight.

He was talking about the apparently surprising need to halt enrollments in a program designed as a temporary bridge for people with pre-existing conditions who couldn’t wait to be covered by the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) when it fully kicks in next year.

The program was allocated $5 billion, but some estimate it would take $40 billion to fund the effort.

Gary Cohen, deputy administrator and director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS.gov) was grilled by mostly (R) members of Congress yesterday on a fact finding mission.

The (D) representatives tended to defend and support Cohen and Obama Care in general. I don’t recall a single tough question a (D) Representative asked Cohen during the hearing.

Cohen had great difficulty in answering specific (R) questions. Cohen often did not know the facts to be able to answer a question, and was vague about the implication of ObamaCare. Gary Cohen is also the ObamaCare Enrollment Chief.

Here are some key tweets to summarize some of the key points in the ObamaCare Hearing broadcasted on CSPAN on Sept. 19, 2013.

Obama’s Four Years Healthcare Spending: $10.6 Trillion

WASHINGTON DC. Try not to have a heart attack when reading how much taxpayer money is being spent on healthcare from just 2009 to 2012.

When doing research for this report, I found so much data on healthcare spending, that I have concluded that healthcare is way too big to be managed on a centralized level. This issue may be better addressed at the state level.

Total Healthcare Spending (2009-2012): $10.6 Trillion. Read more…

Progressives Exposed: Fact Check on Terrorism Propaganda

Politics, USA. (Background). In late college, I was a research-based major. I did a senior study on U.S. intelligence and the challenges it presented to our intelligence agencies. I still enjoy researching facts and analyzing history about many subjects including national security issues.

Despite personal political ideology supporting this thing called the U.S. Constitution, and that we are a national of laws, not a nation of men. I had professors who fell across the political gambit including conservative, libertarian, independent, generally liberal, left-wing feminists, right-wing Republicans, and scary progressives.

Everyone has their own political ideology. Since I had many professors with opposing ideologies, I had to learn how to write things independently and just let the data support the argument.

I see many blogs on both sides of the political isle that go a bit extreme sometimes, based on the underline known facts. To be fair, I have found graphics and statements pointing fingers at both the major political parties and at times may politely point out any material inaccuracies providing citations from generally credible sources.

So, I came across a tweet from a Twitter poster who probably re-posted this graphic hereto of former President Bush. In case the below tweet gets deleted – and this happens a lot when…read more…

How Speaker Boehner and the Establishment Elite Are Failing America

WASHINGTON DC. I have read a number of articles from major media and heard some of the commentary on TV, and it seems that some are still missing the point. After watching his Speakership, John Boehner (R-OH) and the Establishment Elite have failing America.

America tossed out the majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives in 2010 after Dems forced the injection of Obamacare on American in 2010. In March 2010, 54 percent of Americans were against Obamacare. Also in 2010, American also gave the biggest sweep for Conservative U.S. Legislators in 82 years (since 1928).

America put a majority of Conservatives and Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives in power to STOP Obamacare. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) lost her House Speakership to John Boehner (R) of Ohio after the 2010 Mid-Term Election. not everyone was subject to Obamacare. Twenty-seven healthcare and pharmaceutical companies got wavers, and thirty-one unions got wavers. In Pelosi’s liberal San Francisco, California District, about 20 percent of the businesses got wavers. Basically Dems want laws apply to us but not them? Read More…
