Did you skip the 6th Grade ?

(Via Washington Post)  […]   [President Obama’s Plan is to] Allow insurers to renew existing plans in 2014 (which means they could continue into 2015) while forcing them to send Landrieu-like letters explaining why their plans don’t conform to the Affordable Care Act’s standards.

This doesn’t really ensure anyone can actually keep their plan — which means it also doesn’t affect premiums in the exchanges. But it makes it easier for Democrats to blame insurers for canceling these plans. And it perhaps makes it easier for the White House to stop congressional Democrats from signing onto something like Landrieu or Udall.
The insurance industry is furious. They’ve been working with the White House to get HealthCare.Gov up and running and they’ve been devoting countless man hours to dealing with the problems and they’ve been taking the heat from their customers over canceled plans, and now the Obama administration wants to make them into a scapegoat.

Earlier today we proposed a counter campaign, “Got Cancellation?”  to counter the ridiculous “Got Insurance?” Obamacare propaganda campaign.    The basic premise is to highlight the insufferable contrast between the lie which Obamacare represents and the reality.
Here are some excellent examples of “Lost Insurance?”  Or, “Got Cancellation” from reader Opinionated Vogon:
Ridden to ruin

I’m not good enough with photo shop or visual skills.   But when I saw the latest Obamacare ad campaign I had an idea.   First, here is the Obamacare ad:

Every article I have read about this campaign is focused to the crass, rude and inappropriate advertising construct.   Actually, that was not what caught my attention.
What caught my attention was an immediate recognition of how successful a counter campaign would be using images to reflect  the opposite truth.
Rather than deconstruct a “Got Insurance” campaign of keg stands and sex parties.   Why not focus on the reality of Obamacare:   “Got Cancellation”?

Yesterday we mentioned the CNN Jake Tapper interview of Leader Eric Cantor.  Tapper continues to repeat a common White House meme about “Junk Plans” as he questions Cantor.   Here is the video:

“[00:50] now these plans are being cancelled because they don’t meet the standards of Obamacare, the standards that would allow more / higher quality of quality care the administration says; Better care, covering more things”.
“Is that not a good goal to have fewer of what the Obama administration would call “junk plans”?”

Ergo some of these insurance cancellations are good for the insured, the ObamaCare plan is better for them, and the policy deserves to be cancelled. (more…)

Forward the video to 2:15 for a chuckle…

Internal polling numbers (DNC) in the states with Senators up for re-election, must be beyond terrible.   “Panicking”: a sudden, overpowering terror, often affecting many people at once.  Horrific Fear – A sudden widespread alarm.

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday will convene a special meeting of the Senate Democratic caucus and senior White Officials  ( <—  Denis McDonough / ValJar ) to discuss the troubled rollout of ObamaCare.

Reid on Wednesday told reporters he would not answer questions about the hundreds of thousands of insurance policy cancellations or other issues until he has further discussions with the White House.

The Senate leader said President Obama called him Tuesday evening to discuss healthcare and other issues. (more…)

(Washington Post)  Putting a statistic on disappointment, the Obama administration revealed Wednesday that fewer than 27,000 people signed up for private health insurance last month in the 36 states relying on a problem-filled federal website.
States running their own enrollment systems did better, signing up more than 79,000, for a total enrollment of over 106,000. (continue reading)
(Forbes)  In the market for individually-purchased health insurance, more than 4.8 million Americans have received notices that their preexisting plans are soon to be illegal, and will be cancelled. Many more cancellation notices are imminent. (link)

The latest Poll from Quinnipiac was released yesterday. [ AVAILABLE HERE  ]Obviously the media headlines are filled with uncomfortable to report on catch lines about President Obama, their chosen one,  polling with his lowest favorability 39%, and highest unfavorability 54%, of his entire presidency.
More people distrust President Obama 52%, than view him as honest 44%.
More people think he is “incompetent” 53%, than view him as capable 43%.
And surprisingly 51% to 43% say the media is not paying enough attention to what he is doing.
Many people reflect on these public opinions and ask what will Obama do to turn it around?
However, that’s perhaps directing the question to the wrong person. The real question should be WWDMD? What will Denis McDonough do? Or, What will Valerie Jarrett do?   Together, they are the real decision makers.

Typically, their approach is to deflect attention quickly.    However, the media is unable to ignore the millions of people impacted by Obamacare.
So, I ask you guys – what do you think Denis McDonough and ValJar will do?    What direction do you think they will take?    What narrative will they stimulate to create the needed diversion?
