ObamaCare Websites Total Cost?  $5 Billion and Climbing

I’ve written previously about troubles with various state ObamaCare insurance exchanges.  Without rehashing things, five of them – MD, OR, NV, MA, and HI – have run through nearly $500 million in Federal money, and delivered essentially squat. However, that’s only the tip of the iceberg. HealthCare.gov is only about half-finished.  And it’s run up […]

Yet Another ObamaCare State Insurance Exchange “Success Story”

Hawaii’s health insurance exchange – called “The Connector” – was awarded approximately $200 million in Federal subsidies.  To date, it’s spent about $100 million of those subsidies. Turns out it’s done just about as well the ObamaCare exchanges in Oregon. Or Maryland. So, just how many people has The Connector signed up?  Less than 10,000 […]

The current Administration has announced that over 7.1 million individuals have “signed up” for ObamaCare under those famous (or, if you prefer, infamous) “healthcare exchanges” it claimed would provide insurance to the uninsured.

Truth in Advertising, Maybe?

“Six out of ten people without insurance can get insurance for $100 a day or less.” No, that’s not an April Fool’s Day joke.  That is an actual statement by White House Press Secretary Jay Carney about ObamaCare. Um, Mr. Carney . . . I don’t exactly think paying $36,500 a year (365 x $100) […]
