Obamacare confusion reigns as frustrated patients walk out of hospitals without treatment.
Finding out what’s not in it: Unable to verify whether they have the Obamacare insurance plan they enrolled in, patients walk out of hospitals without treatment.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

“In place of quick service and painless billing,” aka the way health care used to operate.
“‘It’s not fair – you know, I signed up last week like I was supposed to.” may be translated as “It’s not fair, I voted for Obama like I supposed to.”
Chickens, meet roost.
Well put. The Dems may discover in November those chickens flying the coop (voting booth) or worse pulling the lever against them.
Bob:
Have you read Krouthammer’s recent column! You should post it.
The most brilliant political strategy I have heard in a long time from a mainline conservative.
Try to repeal the hidden insurance industry “bailout provision” from obamacare…with a bill perhaps tied it to the borrowing limit extension. Get the liberals to vote to subsidize “fat cat” big business insurance companies (who they demonized originally-and whom I despise anyway for sucking up to the obama trough).
They will then ,it seems, have the option of pulling out of obamacare, before they are bankrupt, and it will collapse totally.
Even if it does not pass, the liberals will have to pay for thier vote in Nov….This is a win win. NO?

This is one of the goals of Obama care.
How else are you going to reduce medical costs?
By the way a new or even somewhat old study finds that people go to the doctor and or emergency room twice as much as they did before they had insurance.
Isn’t that a nice thought. 10 million or more people hitting up the doctors and hospitals twice as much as they did before.
But Obama care was supposed to save money on medical care not use it twice as fast.
I and many, many others made this point in 2009/10. All one needed to see it was to look abroad, and a basic understanding of human nature. But Progressives willfully ignore human nature in favor of idealized intellectual constructs, with very predictable results.
