    Sign up: 1-800-fuckyo

    Daily Caller

    Need health insurance? The Obama administration has you covered. Simply dial 1-800-FUCKYO to reach the next available health-care provider.



    Far from being a mistype, that’s the official number that Health and Human Services wants Americans to dial when seeking health care. Obamacare’s national call center really did list its number as 1-800-318-2596, helpfully spelling out President Barack Obama’s tendency to blatantly flip the bird in plain view.

    After allowing for the lack of letters attached to 1 on a traditional American telephone keypad, the number spells out a clear message. For every duped voter, every young invincible weighing the cost of a penalty versus a newly tripled yearly deductible, every ailing old granny in a wheelchair (whom, remember, Paul Ryan wants to push off a cliff) who needs adequate and affordable health care, Obama’s message is:

    1-800-3(F) 8(U) 2(C) 5(K) 9(Y) 6(O).

    That’s 1-800-FUCKYO. Sadly, the Obama administration failed to swap the useless 1 for a more functional 8 to complete the heartfelt message, perhaps in consolation to former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s tragically shortened middle finger.

    Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius launched a media campaign this week to propagandize the transformative health-care overhaul. She compared the sweeping, coercive law that gives government huge power over the health-care industry to an iPhone system update.

    “Everyone just assumes, “Well, there’s a problem, they’ll fix it, we’ll move on,’” Sebelius said about Apple’s iOS updates. “And like many of their customers, I put the ‘new’ system on my phone and went on my merry way, but it was just a reminder that we’re likely to have some glitches. We will fix them and move on. Is this a sign that the law is flawed and failed? I don’t think so. I think it’s a sign that we’re building a piece of complicated technology. We want it to work. We want it to work right. We’ve got an incredible team working 24/7 to do just that.”

      Did you call the number? Or are you just taking Fucker Carlson's word for it?

      Besides, why would anybody call a "federal" number (especially this week with the teabag tantrum going on) when all they are going to do is refer you back to a state exchange anyway?

            Meet Butch Matthews, A Republican Who Came To Love Obamacare......

            .........After Realizing It Will Save Him $13,000

            By Sy Mukherjee on October 2, 2013 at 4:52 pm

            Butch Matthews is a 61-year-old former small business owner from Little Rock, Arkansas who used to wake up every morning at 4 A.M. to deliver canned beverages to retailers before retiring in 2010. A lifelong Republican, he was heavily skeptical of the Affordable Care Act when it first passed. “I did not think that Obamacare was going to be a good plan, I did not think that it was going to help me at all,” he told ThinkProgress over the phone.

            But after doing a little research, Matthews eventually realized how much the law could help him. And on Tuesday, his local Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) provider confirmed that he would be able to buy a far better plan than his current policy while saving at least $13,000 per year through Arkansas’ Obamacare marketplace.

            Matthews was self-employed between 1997 and 2010, meaning he had to purchase his own plan on the individual market. He chose a Blue Cross Blue Shield plan for himself and his wife that charged a $250 per month premium and had a $2,000 deductible. But the price of that policy kept rising even as it covered fewer of his costs, eventually devolving into his current rate of $1,069 per month with a $10,000 deductible. At this point, it doesn’t even cover his medication or doctors’ visits — particularly concerning considering he had to have two stents placed in his heart in 2006.

            “I do not work now, I’m 61, and we do have assets saved up. But still, to come up with that $1,069 per month….” he said, trailing off. “I went to Blue Cross Blue Shield, and they don’t even sell that plan anymore, but I could not change it to anything else. So I was locked in with it.”

            That all changed once Obamacare’s state-level marketplaces opened to the public on Tuesday. Matthews knew that, at his income level, the law would help him pay for insurance. But even he might not have expected just how good of a deal he could get: his new coverage will cost him absolutely nothing in monthly premiums after factoring in federal subsidies, and has a deductible of $750.

            “Which is a lot different from $10,000,” he pointed out, laughing.

            The mid-level “Silver” policy that he picked out also offers a significantly better benefits package. “It’s a lot better plan,” Matthews said. His old plan was considered to be “Bronze” and had much higher co-pays. Under Obamacare, when Matthews visits a doctor, it will no longer cost him around $150. It will cost $8.

            So what would Matthews tell other Americans who are skeptical about Obamacare? “I would tell them to learn more about it before they start talking bad about it,” he noted. “Be more informed, get more information, take your time and study and not just go by just what you hear on one side or the other. Actually check the facts on it.”

            “I still am a very strong Republican, but this… I’m so happy that this came along,” he continued. “Our home is paid for, vehicle’s paid for, this is our expense that we have. We have more expense on medical care than everything else put together, so this is going to be a great help for us.”

                Americans Flood Obombatax Facebook Page with Complaints

                InfoWars

                The most popular comments on a government-ran Facebook page for Obamacare were made by Americans plagued with problems the health law has introduced, including excessive premium rates and the inability to even enroll through the bug-ridden Healthcare.gov web site.

                Healthcare.gov, the main federal government web site for Obamacare, makes public announcements through the self-titled Facebook page, which Facebook users can respond to with their own comments.

                Recently, an announcement on the page thanked Americans for their feedback regarding the Obamacare enrollment process, which, in the very rare instances that it even works, frightens Americans with premium rates typically double and even triple what they were paying for before.


                “I am so disappointed,” L.S. said in her comment with the most up votes. “These prices are outrageous and there are huge deductibles.”
                “No one can afford this!”

                Another commenter felt the same way.

                “I am a single mother of two, in school and working full time, living 75% below the poverty level and I DO NOT qualify for a healthcare subsidy,” S.J.A. added in another popular comment. “Are you ******* kidding me? Where the **** am I supposed to get $3,000 more a year to pay for this “Bronze” [the lowest cost] health insurance plan?”
                “I DO NOT EVEN WANT INSURANCE to begin with! This is frightening.”

                These two commenter actually managed to get through the enrollment process, which has not been the case for most others.

                “I’ve been stuck at the security questions since 9am on October 1st,” S.R. added, in reference to one of the first steps in enrollment.
                “Took me two days to get my info in and my account verified via an email link,” B.C. wrote in a comment that received many replies. “Now when I log in it tells me the info is wrong.”
                “Very frustrated in Jersey.”

                “I’m having the same problem, B.C.,” one of the responders said. “I finally got past the security question problem, got my account, my verification email, and when I went to log in, it said the information was invalid.”

                Another commenter, a veteran, made a startling statement.

                “As someone who has been on military insurance for many years all I can say is this new healthcare law is proof positive that you really can polish a turd and sell it to people,” C.N. wrote in a comment that as of this writing received 121 thumbs-up. “Just you all wait and see just how wonderful government run healthcare really is!”

                  So some state websites are overloaded due to two reasons......

                  1) Legitimate interest from those who want to sign up, or at least review their options.

                  2) Deliberate sabotage from right wing fucknuts who intentionally overloaded their servers. (Ironically enough, the leader of this sick treasonous cult is in a VA hospital bed right now, getting his leg amputated on taxpayers money)

                  None of this means the system is a failure..... actually pretty much the opposite.

                  And remember, this is coming from somebody who views it as only a SLIGHT improvement over the status quo, and not at all a long term solution.

                    The whole premise is a failure...

                    Americans don't want their lives taken over by the IRS and more taxes and penalties...

                      No, most Americans actually wanted single payer. But only the truly delusional Americans would believe that the so-called "health care system" (or more accurately, LACK of one) in this country is sustainable by any definition.

                      And you know that better than anyone, having worked 20 some years in the system, and by your own admission, quit out of frustration with the bullshit.

                      Bernie Sanders and others in Vermont have managed to get single payer going up there. It will be a huge success, of course, but it will be dismissed by the right wingers because "Vermont is such a small state".

                      What I would really like to see is California pass single payer right now while they have Jerry Brown and a sane state legislature (or "Assembly" as they call it there). When the largest (by population) state in the Union sets up a successful ACTUAL health care program, it would be difficult for any sane person to argue against it.

                        I don't want the federal government and the IRS involved in my personal life or involved in the so called "healthcare" of average americans lives...

                        The single payer idea looks good to a lay person, but Medicare as it stands is a logistical nightmare bursting at the seams with corruption and fraud...

                        Expand that system across the board and you'll be looking at yet another nightmare scenario...

                        On top of that, Big Pharma based healthcare is awholenother can of scam worms designed to separate people from their money...

                        An honest care system would incorporate alternative healthcare as well as Big BS and would give people choices, as well as the choice to opt out...

                        And a heathcare system, as I've said many times should never get beyond the state level...

                        The so called leaders in the federal government are a corrupt mafia...

                        No two ways about it...and they can ALL go to hell...

                          The primary reason for a federal single-payer system over state based systems is that with a national system you would have everybody paying into the same pool. The bigger the pool, the lower the risk, statistically speaking, and therefore the lower the costs.

                          If all 50 states set up single payer systems tommorrow, California would get a better deal than Vermont, just on basis of the size of the pool alone. Washington would be somewhere in the middle of that, as would Lousiana. But then, you could have people who want to move to a larger state because the health care is cheaper, which only increases that large state's pool, while at the same time shrinking the pool in the state they moved out of, making things worse for those who still live there.

                          It's gotta be one national pool. Now when it comes to the administration of that system, it shouldn't all be done in Washington DC, of course. But just as you have Social Security offices in every state, or just as food stamps and Medicaid are national programs that are administered at the state level, there's no reason why the same couldn't be done with a national health care system.
