About Those ObamaCare Subsidies . . . .
Remember about 6 months ago? When I wrote that the FBI had serious concerns about the possibility for fraud concerning those ObamaCare subsidies because the data used to calculate them would be reported using the “honor system”? Well, it looks like there’s a damn good chance the FBI was right to be concerned. Because now […]
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 […]
FBI Investigating “Cover Oregon”
It’s about freaking time. And for what it’s worth, so is the HHS Office of the Inspector General – as well as the GAO and at least one Congressional committee. As most TAH readers probably remember, “Cover Oregon” was that “wonderful” healthcare insurance exchange developed by the state of Oregon. It received $303M in Federal […]
ObamaCare in Maryland
Well, numbers are out on how well ObamaCare did in one of the most liberal states in the Union – Maryland. It must have worked well there, right? Um, not exactly. The numbers ain’t pretty. I’ve previously reported that Maryland spent $125M on an ObamaCare exchange that didn’t work worth a damn. It was so […]
About That “ObamaCare Success” the Media’s Touting . . . .
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. Sounds like they were a rousing success, right? Well, not really. That number appears to be yet another example of the Administration’s […]
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) […]
Yer Periodic ObamaCare Update
An in today’s Pathetic Pile of Amazingly Convoluted Asininity Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (AKA ObamaCare) update: Criminal background? Check. Lied about it? Check.
