Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. 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.

I can only WISH that the GOV of PA would refuse to enact OVOMITCARE…
Considering that these few states have failed to come to an agreement on which insurance policies and prices to offer their citizens it now falls on the federal government to come up with an exchange program of our own to offer to those who need it most.
Our poorest citizens need this choice and we should, no we will! Offer them just that choice.
And so, with a stoke of this pen, on this day, I Barack Obama, set up the federal exchange insurance program to provide for those who need the service.
Man I need find the right news sometimes.
“(AP) Feds propose fee on health insurers in new market
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
Health insurance companies will have to pay to play in new health insurance markets coming under President Barack Obama’s health care law.
The federal Health and Human Services department said Friday it is proposing a “user fee” amounting to 3.5 percent of premiums for health insurers who want to offer policies in the new federal exchanges coming in 2014.
Exchanges are online markets where consumers will be able to buy individual policies and see if they qualify for government subsidies. Washington will run the exchanges in states that decline to do so.
The insurance industry says the fees will add to the cost of coverage.
The new markets are designed to be self-supporting, and backers of the approach say it’s more cost-effective than the current system. ”
I guess they already have a plan to supersede the states no matter what.
And in my other post in another thread I mentioned that the government was in no way receiving any money from Obama care. Well i guess i was wrong on that also.
They will just impose a new tax on the insurance industry if they want to be part of the exchanges.
I bet the government will find/make a way for each insurance company to become part of the exchanges.
