President Obama celebrated when sign-ups for his health care law topped 8 million, far exceeding expectations after a slipshod launch. Most Americans, however, remain unimpressed.
A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds that public opinion continues to run deeply negative on the Affordable Care Act, Obama's signature effort to cover the uninsured. Forty-three percent oppose the law, compared with just 28 percent in support.
The pattern illustrates why the health care law remains a favored target for Republicans seeking a Senate majority in the midterm elections.
The poll does have a bright spot for the administration: Those who signed up for coverage aren't reeling from sticker shock. Most said they found premiums in line with what they expected, or even lower.
But even that was diminished by another finding: More than one-third of those who said they or someone in their household tried to enroll, were ultimately unable to do so. For the White House, it's an uncomfortable reminder of the technical problems that paralyzed the HealthCare.gov website for weeks after it went live last fall.Read the rest of the story HERE.

The troubled start to the age of ObamaCare
________________________________________
The president has been selectively
implementing the health-care reform law
as well as adding regulations to it,
and he’d prefer the LAWLESSNESS and
inherent CRONYISM of ObamaCare
not be exposed to too much sunlight.
The whole point of ObamaCare was
to upend the entire health-care system,
regardless of the fact that Democrats had to
lie about it REPEATEDLEY and brazenly
in order to get the bill passed.
ObamaCare’s coverage expansion rested on
two pillars. The first was
an explicit government program,
Medicaid -- a failed and expensive program.
The second pillar was to
kick millions of Americans off
their insurance policies
and mandate by law
that they buy a new policy.
ObamaCare is designed to enable the government
to CONTROL the health-insurance market
by greatly restricting LEGAL health-care plans,
raising the prices for those
the government thinks can pay and
offering subsidies to those who can’t.

It is less well known that the 2008 Financial CRISIS
has a long history:
long before the economic meltdown, the story of
one woman who tried to WARN about
the THREAT to the FINANCIAL System.
She saw something that people either had not seen
or refused to see. And she tried to sound the WARNING.
Nobody listened.
Before the TOXIC assets POISONED the Economy,
she WARNED of their DANGER. And that made her
the ENEMY of a very, very large number of people.
She would fight an EPIC BATTLE
with one of the most powerful men in Washington.
It got pretty nasty pretty quickly. A story from inside
the highest levels of the Bill CLINTON administration.
They were all part of a very concerted effort
to shut her up and to shut her down.
And they did, in fact,
SHUT HER UP and SHUT HER DOWN.

USA selling Bonds to Itself
to Underwrite Obamacare
______________________________________
The Affordable Care Act was passed
in a dubious manner.
The Affordable Care Act, then, owes its existence
to political treachery, electoral hijinks,
and extreme prosecutorial misconduct.
The fact that the chief justice Roberts
had to transform himself into an ACROBAT
and claim that Obamacare was constitutional,
under the federal government’s right to tax, ...

• The United States, in its DYSFUNCTIONALITY,
is on the verge of DEFAULT on its DEBT,
its legislators’ hands tied by sequestration.
• The country is BROKE, paying its BILLS through
a FRAUDULENT sale of BONDS to itself,
( Federal Reserve "PRINT" money ( QE ) in
exchange for Uncle Sam's IOU -- BONDS )
