Obamacare Website to be Shut Down for Repairs

[jay_steel]

people can get disgustingly fat on healthy foods.

your right so then we will regulate food... but i havent see any one obese from eating lean meats and healthy foods lol. I ate 9 times a day with zero cardio eating healthy and dropped to 8% bf... Find me an obese person who eats healthy food in excess...

 

[Little Wing]

if someone is an overeating pig they are going to be one. stuff like orange juice, nuts, bananas, yogurt would be easy to get fat on. even some lean meats are very fat laden.

 

[Little Wing]

i think we should regulate oxygen on some people

 

[jay_steel]

also i would like to see statistical data that shows savings and increase in revenue that will lower our taxed. LW claim was we dont have to pay non insured medical bills any more because everyone will have insurance. As a businessman I would like to see the data that proves this. Were is the est. cost and balance sheets that proves this is beneficial to our economy and will not hurt us even more. If our economy gets hurt even more how will the hospitals keep up with state of the art equipment and service. I am sorry if i sound selfish, but like i said before i have zero sympathy for people that are not willing to work 18 hours a day to become successful and they put their hands out. I pull those hours about 3 times a week. I know that i dont want to be poor. If you bust your ass that much and still cant provide for your family I will personally cut you a check to feed your house hold for a month. I do this all the time for members of my church. I do believe in helping people but I DO not agree that its a right, but it is a privilege. And I should not be forced to give my money that i bust my ass for away so some one can play PS3 on a 60" tv on gov't assistance.

again show me someone that got fat off of natural orange juice not from concentrate, nuts, bananas and yogurt? Then we force exercise as well, because I eat 6k cal a day work out and maintain 11% bf. I know cyclists who eat 11k a day for cycling all natural foods.. Yet to see some one eat healthy foods fat. Not saying its not possible but i doubt there is one.

The problem is fatty foods can become additive. Im not going to get into the nuro study of it, but it has been proven which is the cause for food addiction. Junk food can be an addicting substance which is what leads to obesity. When was the last time you heard of someone benge eating boiled chicken and greens?

now your being silly oxygen does not cost use revenue even though half of it is polluted but its free.

 

[jay_steel]

well im off to night class then the gym... so good night all... bust my ass to further better my self because i believe mediocrity is for losers.

typical thinking of persons blinded by racism etc as to who the needy in usa really are. it might surprise you to know how many seniors will decide this winter if they go without heat or food.

how is that racist when most people on govt assistance are white?

 

[Little Wing]

Approximately 600 elderly people die in the USA each year from hypothermia. Unfortunately, the prevalence of deaths from hypothermia tracks the cost of energy. Elderly people on a fixed income may cut back on heating during winter months if they feel they cannot afford heating bills.

For persons in their 80's and 90's, an environmental temperature below 65 degrees Fahrenheit (F) causes a serious drop in body temperature, precipitating a drop in the body's core temperature to 95 degrees (F) (35 degrees Celsius) or less.

There are a number of factors that make the elderly person especially prone to hypothermia.

racist etc... etc as some crazy notion the poor have tons of luxury items.

did they cancel night class?

where is the racial remark? The problem is your the one that mentally thinks black or Hispanic is what I am targeting so that makes you the one that is more racist. I never once said lazy black or lazy hispanic, lazy asian, or lazy why. I talk about people who live off the gov't tit. I hate them all equally. I hate niggers yes, if you dont know what a nigger is watch Chris Rock he is dead on. But if any one is not racist it is me so get get bent on that comment. My step grandfather is hispanic who is my hero in my life, i am german, irish, swedish, and japanese and all my nieces are half african american who i just about consider my own. My massage therapist is African American if i was racist last thing I would want was a black women rubbing my body. So stop being blinded by Obama and realize this health care program is shit.

As for the elderly yes that is sad, but that is a community responsibility not a gov't. No where in the constitution states that the gov't will provide aid to the elderly. First how did they get that way? My grandparents were poor and retired millionaires, because they saved every cent and put it away. I dont know many retired truck drivers that work for a low end paving company that retire with money. Its because he was responsible. My other grandparents lived foolishly, spending EVERY cent on additions to their home, spoiling grand children and now my grandpa who is 80 is still in 400,000k in debt. However, i would NEVER expect the gov't to help him for his shitty life decisions as a family we help him and if he had no family the community helps.

But well most community help is done by the church and since your a non believer i guess that church is a bad thing and is out to corrupt people. I think we are paying for 6 families right now at our church for food and clothes. Again it is not the gov't responsibility, it falls on the state and the community.

 

[jay_steel]

also we are in a gov't shut down. I have a guy that has to make a VA appointment and get a dr to sign off something that he is fit for duty. It has to come from his VA dr. The deadline is this month, He can not get the letter because of the gov't shut down. This service member is going to get kicked out of the Navy Reserves for medical reasons that he should be cleared for, but the gov't can not even manage their own systems.

So what do you think is going to happen with a gov't shut down and someone needs surgery or needs medical aid? I will tell you nothing will happen because EVERY one will be laid off and the staffing will be minimal for approvals. The answer to medical should be no boundaries simple as that. As for the people who can not afford it, well to bad to sad you should have made better life decisions in the past to plan for the future. All ways have a back up plan because life will fuck you over and change in a moments notice. Don't live above your means and keep your debt to income ratio at 30% spending 20% for consumables like food, fuel, clothes and 50% into savings. If you cant do that then maybe you should find a cheaper place to live and sale that car you have and buy a bus pass.

Obamacare Marketplace: Personal Data Can Be Used For ?Law Enforcement and Audit Activities?


Maryland's Health Connection, the state's Obamacare marketplace, has been plagued by delays in the first days of open enrollment. If users are able to endure long page-loading delays, they are presented with the website's privacy policy, a ubiquitous fine-print feature on websites that often go unread. Nevertheless, users are asked to check off a box that they agree to the terms.

The policy contains many standard statements about information automatically collected regarding Internet browsers and IP addresses, temporary "cookies" used by the site, and website accessibility. However, at least two conditions may give some users pause before proceeding.
The first is regarding personal information submitted with an application for those users who follow through on the sign up process all the way to the end. The policy states that all information to help in applying for coverage and even for making a payment will be kept strictly confidential and only be used to carry out the function of the marketplace. There is, however, an exception: "[W]e may share information provided in your application with the appropriate authorities for law enforcement and audit activities." Here is the entire paragraph from the policy the includes the exception [emphasis added]:

​

Should you decide to apply for health coverage through Maryland Health Connection, the information you supply in your application will be used to determine whether you are eligible for health and dental coverage offered through Maryland Health Connection and for insurance affordability programs. It also may be used to assist you in making a payment for the insurance plan you select, and for related automated reminders or other activities permitted by law. We will preserve the privacy of personal records and protect confidential or privileged information in full accordance with federal and State law. We will not sell your information to others. Any information that you provide to us in your application will be used only to carry out the functions of Maryland Health Connection. The only exception to this policy is that we may share information provided in your application with the appropriate authorities for law enforcement and audit activities.
​

The site does not specify if "appropriate authorities" refers only to state authorities or if it could include the federal government, as well. Neither is there any detail on what type of law enforcement and/or audit activities would justify the release of the personal information, or who exactly is authorized to make such a determination. An email to the Maryland Health Connection's media contact seeking clarification has not yet been answered
The second privacy term that may prompt caution by users relates to email communications. The policy reads:

If you send us an e-mail, we use the information you send us to respond to your inquiry. E-mail correspondence may become a public record. As a public record, your correspondence could be disclosed to other parties upon their request in accordance with Maryland?s Public Information Act.
​

Since emails to the marketplace could conceivably involve private matters regarding finances, health history, and other sensitive issues, the fact that such information could be made part of the "public record" could prevent users from being as free with their information than they might otherwise be. However, as noted, any requests for such emails would still be subject to Maryland's Public Information Act which contains certain exceptions to the disclosure rules.

racist etc... etc as some crazy notion the poor have tons of luxury items.

I can prove this... Go to an EDD office and look at the phones people pull out of their pockets... Brand new Iphones, Droids, on full data plans and ect. I have said this a million times but my step dad is incharge of juvenile probation where i live. overseas the entire operation of it. He drives a honda fit for economical reasons and makes 150k a year. He is also a professor at the city college. But he wonders how do these people who are on welfare walk in with a 1000$ purse, hair done, nails done, iphone, refuse to come in the morning because the sleep in until noon and then drive a luxury suv on 24 inch wheels. Most of them have 6 kids or so and they bitch about having to pay 30$ a month because their child is on house arrest and they have to pay for the monitoring system. This is the majority of them...

I was also a recruiter so I went into Alot of homes to conduct interviews with some pretty low income families. I have yet to meet ANY of them who did not own a big screen tv and a gaming system. NOT one. They would have $$ invested into a PS3 but have no groceries to eat.

 

[jay_steel]

The issue is welfare is never ending for these people... When do we cut them off? When do we say ok you had your chance? Do we string them along forever if they wont comply and better them selves. If you had a kid that milked off you and lived off of you never trying to better them selves you would tell them get the fuck out and do something. We cant baby adults thats the problem we baby grown ass men. People begin to rely on the system. Democrats dont want them to not be poor because the more poor people the stronger their vote.

republicans just want big business to strive. all in all both parties just want to have the full circle of events that ultimately lines their pockets with $$. As much of a bad governor he was Arnold did not charge CA a DIME and worked for free. I heard they paid him like a penny because he had to be on some type of payroll system. but that is what some of these guys need to take in. Selfless acts... I believe Rand will be an outstanding President. He doesnt side with much of his republican brothers and doesnt put up with shit.

My dad is almost 70. He has lived on a diet of pork sausage, eggs, Budweisers, and cigarettes. He didn't go to the doctor once during my entire childhood and adolescence. He had a hernia surgery in his mid 60s. Other that, he paid into healthcare most of his life and rarely ever used it. So he is a good example for why making people for behavior isn't really fair. Behavior doesn't lead to results, it only correlates to a high probability of estimation.

When you apply that type of thinking to a person, it is called prejudice. When you apply it to a behavior, its called risk assessment. Both situations have a large margin of error, and it isn't fair to over tax people on something they haven't done yet.

[h=1]1-800-T-O-T-A-L-F-A-I-L: One Man's Obamawreck Nightmare[/h][h=2]Michelle Malkin's column is released once a week.[/h] By Michelle Malkin5 hours ago

​

Behold the Hollywood bubble. This week, actress Olivia Wilde starred in an Obamacare propaganda video targeting young people. "You can sign up for health care online in 10 minutes," her co-propagandist chirped as she cheered. Cue the laugh track. Back on planet Earth, Americans nationwide are still struggling with the $634 million online health care exchange nightmare.
One reader asked me to share his story. Like me and 22 million other citizens in the private individual market for health insurance, he recently received his You Can't Keep It cancellation notice. Here's what happened when he went online to find alternatives.
"I live in New Jersey, but work for a small company based out of Massachusetts. For years, we were all insured through the company from a plan that originated in Massachusetts. However, as soon as Obamacare was passed, we were "audited" by the insurance company, and it turns out only 50 percent of our company is based in Massachusetts, and therefore we did not qualify as a company under the law. Apparently, you need 51 percent based in the state. About five days prior to our insurance policy renewal, we were told we could not (renew), and I had to scramble to purchase a much more expensive individual policy with much higher costs.
"Fast-forward two years. I now receive a new letter from my insurance company, Horizon Blue Cross, (informing me) that the plan that I have now is being discontinued and I need to pick a new plan.
"On Oct. 1, I tried to get into the exchange for New Jersey that is run by the federal government. I earn too much for a subsidy, but I wanted to see what my options were and how much more this was going to cost.
"I created an account and tried for four days to get in. Each time it said my password was invalid. I tried to use the "forgot password" option so they could send me a link to reset. When I got the link, the system kept saying that it didn't recognize my user account. When I tried to re-create the user account, it told me that one already existed. I called the number several times, and they all told me the same thing: Try back later. The glitches are being worked out.
"I (then) created a new account under (my wife's) name. After several attempts, I was able to get in. Over the weekend, I spent at least four hours trying to fill out the application. Each time, the website crashed. When I got back to work on Monday, I tried one more time. Lo and behold, the application was submitted. At this point, President Obama must be thinking 'great, a success story.'
"Well, my options came back, and voila: According to the government, I'm not eligible for any private plans. I received a notice that my entire family is only eligible for Medicaid! I make a decent salary. I'm not eligible for a subsidy, let alone Medicaid.
"This morning my wife received a call. Apparently, it was the exchange. She explained to them that we are not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid. The person on the phone told her, "That is what the system says you are eligible for. If you want, you can file an appeal."
"So now back to a change in plans. I currently have a Point of Service that covers benefits 70 percent after a large deductible, with somewhat large co-pays for doctors. Horizon Blue Cross does offer a similar plan (to the one being canceled) for about the same, but the problem is that my children's pediatricians are not in it (so much for keeping your doctors).
"The only plans that the doctors take involve a 40 percent deductible with higher co-pays. So now I have fewer options and not more. There is another new company offering coverage where I am, but it has zero out-of-network benefits and a smaller network. Either way, everything is changing for me with higher costs.
"I hope you can somehow relate this story to the public at large to let them see that the whole process is a joke. The automatons who know nothing are just collecting a government check and getting health care paid for by me with my tax dollars, when I cannot even get my own."
In sum: Obama lied. His health plan died. He can't keep his doctors. He couldn't sign up in 10 minutes for health care. He's being steered toward a government plan he doesn't qualify for or want. And he can't get his personal information back from the online Obamawreck black hole.

Is this the same scum bag President Obama that made veterans families wait to get paid to try and prove a political point but it back fired in the scum bags face so last night he signed the bill to give assistance money to the veterans families who died.But the asshole made them wait until the pressure from the Amereican public got hot so he caved in.Just like he is going to cave in on Oct 17 when the debt ceiling is here.Sen scum bag Reid doesnt sign the Nih cancer bill so cancer patients can get there treatment instead he makes a dumbass comment.This President and Reid,Pelosi are fuck.37% presidential approval rating now and will keep dropping.

 

[heckler7]

republicans tried to block unified healthcare because they said its what the people want now their approval numbers are at an all time low along with tea party approval. republicans are a dying political party and they are destroying themselves from the inside.
