Obamacare does not provide any easy way for a family to add a new baby to their insurance plan.
Finding out what’s not in it: Obamacare does not provide any easy way for a family to add a new baby to their insurance plan.
There’s another quirk in the Obama administration’s new health insurance system: It lacks a way for consumers to quickly and easily update their coverage for the birth of a baby and other common life changes. With regular private insurance, parents just notify the health plan. Insurers will still cover new babies, the administration says, but parents will also have to contact the government at some point later on. Right now the HealthCare.gov website can’t handle such updates.
It’s a reminder that the new coverage for many uninsured Americans comes with a third party in the mix: the feds. And the system’s wiring for some vital federal functions isn’t yet fully connected. [emphasis mine]
To paraphrase something George Will once said, the law is a blunt instrument, not designed to do many complex things. But with Obamacare the Democrats have asked it to do something incredibly complex, run the health insurance business. It can’t do it, and because of this it is now causing a great deal of heartache and misery for many people, a large number of whom are sick and vulnerable.
But we all know that the Democrats care about the sick and vulnerable, which is why they insisted that Obamacare be enforced now without delay.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the 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. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

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.

The progressives are not programmed to think of live babies, they are more concerned with killing babies.
We need far less feds in our lives, far less.
Incompetence is a phenomenon of government.
One would think that the basic operations of healthcare insurance would have been considered. This is what happens when we let government take care of things. They think that they are so smart that they don’t have to talk to those who know, the insurance companies, the patients, the doctors, etc. The insurance companies would have told them things such as how to sign up customers (a new task for government), the patients would have told them what we need — and what we don’t — and the doctors would have told them something about how to treat patients and make them well.
The government is sticking its nose into *EVERY* aspect of our lives. Where and when does it end?
When do we get our freedoms back? More important: what government agency do we have to go to in order to get our freedoms back?
