Is the bloom coming off the ruse?   First watch this video:

NORTH DAKOTA – In a bombshell revelation, a consumer sales manager for North Dakota’s largest health insurer said Monday that the Obama Administration asked Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota to hide how many people registered for health insurance through an online exchange that just went up.
James Nichol of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota told a forum in Fargo that the Obama Administration had made the request. The forum was designed for people who wanted to obtain coverage through the online exchange. (more…)

The White House is feeding information about a possible extension for compliance with Obamacare  enrollment/purchase mandates.

However, the ever political Denis McDonough/Valerie Jarrett are hopelessly stuck in the political risk, and will not concede the word “delay” out of fear it will prove the GOP was right in their admonishments.     Yes, they are THAT petty….. Just watch…..

HatTip LandauMurphyFan –  As we have outlined the *real* war on women was actually constructed in the backroom of the Senate Chambers;  it goes under the auspices of Obamacare; it was manufactured by insufferable, political, manipulative left-wing liberals; it was based on lies and falsehoods, and it was born through deception and trickery.
Why is Obamacare considered a ‘war-on-families’?  Quite simply because in the vast majority of U.S. households women are the key decision makers regarding their family healthcare plans.    Subsequently anything that impedes desire, deconstructs ability, or reduces freedom for a woman to care for her family, is viewed appropriately as ‘in opposition to’ a families’ best interest.
The Matt Walsh Blog sent a call out to the blogosphere (email addy:  [email protected])  requesting people to send in real-life examples of how Obamacare is impacting people.   Notably, almost every response is from women who are awakening to the new Obamacare realities.  What follows are a few examples:

Meg, Georgia:

I’m a 12-hr night shift nurse in a hospital (the irony). I work part time so that my husband and I can trade off caring for our one-year-old (he’s a firefighter who works 24 hrs on- 48 off on a rotation).

My manager called me and stated I would have to, because of Obamacare- related insurance cost restraints , etc (her words), either go up on the number of hours I work each week or become a per diem employee. Did I mention I’m 6 months pregnant? So, I had to decide whether to go up to working more hours than our family can handle or go “per diem” in which case I’d immediately lose all the paid sick leave I’ve been earning, hoping to use for maternity leave, as well as lose a short term disability policy I’ve been paying for which would also help with maternity leave. Guess which we chose? How on earth do you plan for the future with the future shape-shifting constantly on the whims of egomaniacal and out-of-touch politicians? Thank goodness for a supportive and geographically close extended family.

WASHINGTON DC – Mike Hash, who directs the Office of Health reform at the Department of Health and Human Services, will brief House Democrats Wednesday about implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

The closed-door session, which will start at 8:50 a.m., marks the first time the administration will have briefed members of Congress on the online enrollment system since its troubled rollout on Oct. 1. (more…)

HEADS UP – We’re not sure how long this link will work; however, according to WeaselZippers  here is a link to The HHS Data.Gov site which allows you to see the actual costs of the Obamacare plans *without* subsidy……….  Meaning – THE REAL COSTS.

CLICK HERE

Apparently, when the structural HHS website was created they forgot the password function to this .gov area  [someone forgot to password the database the after subsidy prices are fetched from].   The current ‘out front’ HHS site comparisons -available through the site- only show you the *after subsidy* prices (for obvious reasons). The link above will allow you to see the prices before tax subsidies are applied – which are based on income.
Again, we don’t know how long this will be allowed to be visible – and if you think about downloading the data set, which is possible (right now), the file is massive.
As an example a pdf version is 2,110 pages long.  Though I’m sure some folks are downloading it just because it’s possible and they will save it for later use.

D’oh  – HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius may have been trying to create plausible deniability for Dear Leader, but what she actually said, and openly advocated for in her admissions, is just profoundly more affirmation of how inept President Obama actually is.
It comes as no surprise the single most important legislative construct of an inept unqualified President, that is bound to affect millions of Americans on one of the most important aspects of their lives, was doomed for failure in its roll-out while President Obama sat clueless and uninformed. What does that say about the priorities of the White House occupants, and their visible preferences to sit detached from ownership of that which they create?  (video below)

Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama didn’t know about the problems with the Affordable Care Act’s website – despite complaints from insurance companies and the site’s crashing during a test run – until days into its now well-documented abysmal launch, the nation’s health chief told CNN on Tuesday.

Remember, this is all part of the left-wing Alinsky playbook:   Ridicule – Isolate -Marginalize.    Ridicule supporters who stand in opposition to their leftist demands;  Isolate the opposition through the use of labels and descriptive that create a horrid impression; with the goal to Marginalize the opposition’s potential to impact the liberal goals.
Congressman Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) in a statement provided to TheBlaze Tuesday defended a campaign email linking the Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan. (pictured below) […]

“One could go on and on, because there is overwhelming evidence that the Tea Party is the home of bigotry and discrimination in America today, just as the KKK was for an earlier generation,” the statement concludes.
“If the shoe fits, wear it.” – Alan Grayson (D-FL)
