Story of the Year
Insurance companies are rapidly becoming mere extensions of the federal government.
by Charles Krauthammer

Obamacare was sold as simply a refinement of the current system, retaining competition among independent insurers but making things more efficient, fair, and generous. Free contraceptives for Sandra Fluke. Free mammograms and checkups for you and me. Free (or subsidized) insurance for some 30 million uninsured. And, mirabile dictu, not costing the government a dime.
In fact, Obamacare is a full-scale federal takeover. The keep-your-plan-if-you-like-your-plan ruse was a way of saying to the millions of Americans who had insurance and liked what they had: Don’t worry. You’ll be left unmolested. For you, everything goes on as before.
That was a fraud from the very beginning. The law was designed to throw people off their private plans and into government-run exchanges where they would be made to overpay — forced to purchase government-mandated services they don’t need — as a way to subsidize others. (That’s how you get to the ostensible free lunch.)
It wasn’t until the first cancellation notices went out in late 2013 that the deception began to be understood. And felt. Six million Americans with private insurance have just lost it. And that’s just the beginning. By the Department of Health and Human Services’ own estimates, about 75 million Americans have plans that their employers would have the right to cancel. And millions of middle-class workers who will migrate to the exchanges and don’t qualify for government subsidies will see their premiums, deductibles, and co-pays go up.
It gets worse. The dislocation extends to losing one’s doctor and drug coverage, as insurance companies narrow availability to compensate for the huge costs imposed on them by the extended coverage and “free” services the new law mandates.
But it’s not just individuals seeing their medical care turned upside down. The insurance providers, the backbone of the system, are being utterly transformed. They are rapidly becoming mere extensions of the federal government.
Look what happened just last week. Health and Human Services unilaterally and without warning changed coverage deadlines and guidelines. It asked insurers to start covering people on January 1 even if they signed up as late as the day before and even if they hadn’t paid their premiums. And HHS is “strongly encouraging” them to pay during the transition for doctor visits and medicines not covered in their current plans (if covered in the patient’s previous — canceled — plan).
On what authority does a Cabinet secretary tell private companies to pay for services not in their plans and cover people not on their rolls? Does anyone even ask? The bill itself is simply taken as a kind of blanket authorization for HHS to run, regulate, and control the whole insurance system.
As if to make plain who is in charge, late Thursday night the administration did it again. It decreed that those with canceled insurance plans can now buy cheap “catastrophic” plans — that have been largely banned by Obamacare as inadequate and substandard. And HHS granted these same consumers the unique right to forgo health insurance entirely — without any penalty, something the insurance companies immediately denounced as destabilizing the risk pools of Obamacare’s own exchanges.
Three years ago I predicted that Obamacare would turn insurers into the lapdog equivalent of utility companies. I undershot. They are being treated as wholly owned subsidiaries. Take the phrase “strongly encouraging.” Sweet persuasion? In reality, these are offers insurers can’t refuse. Disappoint your federal master and he has the power to kick you off the federal exchanges, where the health-insurance business of the future is supposed to be conducted.
Moreover, if adverse selection drives insurers into a financial death spiral — too few healthy young people to offset more costly, sicker, older folks — their only recourse will be a government bailout. Do they really want to get on the wrong side of the White House, their only lifeline when facing insolvency?
I don’t care a whit for the insurance companies. They deserve what they get. They collaborated with the White House in concocting this scheme and are now being swallowed by it. But I do care about the citizenry and its access to a functioning, flourishing, choice-driven medical system.
Obamacare posed as a free-market alternative to a British-style single-payer system. Then, during congressional debate, the White House ostentatiously rejected the so-called “public option.” But that’s irrelevant. The whole damn thing is the public option. The federal government now runs the insurance market, dictating deadlines, procedures, rates, risk assessments, and coverage requirements. It’s gotten so cocky it’s now telling insurers to cover claims that, by law, they are not required to.
Welcome 2014, our first taste of nationalized health care.

Fraud- Deception carried out
for the purpose of achieving personal gain while causing injury to another
party.
Although
there are many different types and forms of fraud, basically the crime of fraud
involves the use of deception for financial or personal gain. Fraud can also be
committed to gain an unfair advantage or to damage another.
In order
for criminal fraud to take place, in most states, the following elements of the
crime must be proven:
• A misrepresentation of material facts
• The perpetrator knows or believes it is not true
• The victim relies on the falsehood
• It results in actual loss or damage.
Fraud can
range from a street-level con game to insider fraud within the world's largest
corporations. There are laws against tax fraud, insurance fraud, mail fraud,
wire fraud, credit card fraud, securities fraud and even religious and marriage
fraud.
What about
Governmental fraud?
Can someone
please tell me why Bernie Madoff is in prison and Obama isn't?
If Americans
permit this crime to go unpunished then our Republic is dead. Folks, this is not
a political issue, despite what the talking heads on TV want you to believe.
This is a legal issue.
Even in amoral
America, fraud is still a crime. Lying about a contract is fraud and fraud
legally cancels a contract. Obama Care is void because of the fraudulent way it
was presented. Read here.
President
Obama should go to jail.
But he is not
the only one. The entire government complex is complicit in this crime. From
watching “Dragnet” as a young child I learned that helping someone commit a
crime is to be labeled an accessory. Accessories to crimes are also
criminals.
Boehner is an
accessory. So are McConnell, Pelosi, Reid, your congressman and senators, and
the entire Supreme Court of the United States. When those assigned the duty of
defending the laws, don't, we become a lawless nation. Everyone of those
scoundrels swore an oath to the Constitution. They have violated it.
They are
straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. Obama Care is fraud...plain and
simple. Will no one do anything about it?
Come on now.
If a policeman were to eyewitness a bank robbery would he not be derelict in his
duty to not arrest the offender? If I can see the fraud...if you can see the
fraud....do you really think THEY can't see it? President Obama's lies
constitute fraud.
“An official such as
the president does not need to take a special oath to become subject to the
penalties of perjury. He took an oath, by Art. II Sec. 1 Cl. 8, to
"faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States" and to
"preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" to the best
of his ability. While he holds that office, he is always under oath, and
lying at any time constitutes perjury if it is not justified for national
security.” View
Nearly thirty
times the President told the American people that “if you like your coverage
you can keep it. If you like your Doctor you can keep your
Doctor.”
Now we find
out that we can't and that He knew that we couldn't. All of Congress knows he
said it. All of the Justice Department knows he said it. All of the SCOTUS knows
that he said it.
Elected
officials are not exempt from our laws. In fact, they are held to a higher
standard.
Our
Constitution calls what Obama has done a “high crime.” What does that mean? What
makes something a “high crime?”
“High Crime”
does not refer to the severity of the crime that is committed, but rather to the
position of the one who commits the crime. A “high crime” is a crime committed
by a person of “high authority.” The “higher” the elected position, the “higher”
the severity of the crime.
Bill Clinton
“lied about sex” or at least that is what they told us. “Everyone lies about
sex”, remember? But Bill Clinton wasn't just the average “Joe Blow” (sorry). His
lying under oath was more serious because he had a “high” position. Elected
officials should be held to a higher standard when they betray the public
trust.
Sadly, those
in “high positions” today use their power to excuse their law breaking. Holding
the “highest” office in the land does not give the President the right to commit
fraud. It does just the opposite. It raises the bar in regards to honesty. Lying
is a betraying of the public trust.
Treason--Violation of allegiance toward one's country or
sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or
by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies. A betrayal of
trust or confidence.
President
Obama has committed treason.. Obama Care is aiding our enemies by destroying the
economic stability of the citizens of this nation. Obama Care steals from the
citizens.
No one will
say it. No one has the guts to take a stand. This isn't a political issue; this
is a national security issue. The liars all protect each other.
Our government
is criminal. Let's face the facts. Why waste time trying to unravel hidden
lies...Benghazi, NSA, IRS...when we won't deal with the obvious public lies?
We can't get
lost in the weeds. The scandals in our government are legion, but every
“investigation” leads down a bunny trail and permits the guilty to continue to
lie and obfuscate. In the Obama administration the buck never stops.
But Obama Care
is different. He lied to the American people regarding legislation that involves
1/6th of the US economy. That financial rape dwarfs anything Bernie Madoff could
have hoped to have done. Millions will have to pay more based on a lie. That is
fraud.
Let me make
this so simple that even a public school graduate can understand.
The President
and the Congress sold Obama Care to us on false pretenses. We have video of his
lie. We have eyewitness accounts. We now know it was a lie, and we know that he
knew it was untrue when he said it.
Folks, nothing
else matters. His lie constitutes fraud--Deception carried out for the
purpose of achieving personal gain while causing injury to another
party—PERIOD.
In the private
sector the Department of Justice would be all over it. In the government, the
Department of Justice is part of the fraud. They throw Madoff in prison and
cover for Obama.
America would
be safer with Bernie Madoff in the White House.
Our government
is lawless. The foxes are minding the chicken coop. If this crime is not
punished America is nothing more than one of those Banana Republics we all used
to laugh about.
Are there no
honest judges in America? Are there no honest legislators in America? Where are
the ACLJ, The Rutherford Institute, The Alliance Defense Fund, the Thomas More
Society, et al? Rather than fighting over manger scenes and a picture of Jesus
hanging in the halls of the school why won't they focus all of their power on
removing the liar in the White House? He defrauded the citizens!
Our elected
officials do not have the stones to do it. Once again the question must be
asked, where are those who represent the Lord? Until we demand accountability
from those who hold public office we will never right the ship.
The dude lied
to us. It has caused millions of Americans great harm. If we don't stand up now
Katy bar the door.
Silence is
consent. Not to act is to act.
Obama Care was
sold to us under false pretenses. It was a miss-representation of the product by
the salesman selling it to us. That is fraud in any book. The CEO of a private
business who did what Obama did would be in jail. Why isn't he?
______________________________
And to top it all off... Who could be worse than Bernie Madoff ?
First
Lady Michelle Obama’s Princeton roommate is a top executive at the company that
earned the no-bid contract to build the failed Obamacare
website.
Toni
Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal,
which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment
website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of
a Canadian company.
Townes-Whitley
and her Princeton roommate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of
Black Princeton Alumni.
Toni
Townes,’85, is a onetime policy analyst with the General Accounting Office and
previously served in the Peace Corps in Gabon , West Africa . Her decision to
return to work, as an African-American woman, after six years of raising kids
was applauded by a Princeton alumni publication in
1998.
George
Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based CGI Group,
CGI Federal’s parent company, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his
company gained the Obamacare website contract.
On
the government end, construction of the disastrous Healthcare.gov website was overseen by the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of longtime failed
website-builder Kathleen Sebelius’ Department of Health and Human
Services.
CGI
Federal did not immediately return a request for
comment.
Soooooo....
Lets see if we can connect the dots here ...
1.) No American companies considered;
2.) A Canadian company hired;
3.) No Bid contract for $93 million;
4.) Top executive at website-building firm went to school with Michelle Obama and was her roommate;
5.) Previous experience building gun registry for Canadian government;
6.) Fired by Canadian Government for overruns that cost Canada $100 million;
4.) Overruns for Obamacare enrollment website now costing U.S. $678 million,and still going up.Does this bother anybody else besides me? And this is just one of their corrupt enterprises. The Obamas are worse than "Bernie" Madoff and far more dangerous to the country. These thieves and traitors should be in jail for the rest of their lives.
