(Washington Post) Fewer than 1/3 of Millennials say they are leaning towards signing up for ObamaCare according to a new Harvard Univ Institute of Politics poll released today.
The Obama Administration had optimistically estimated 7 Million Americans were going to enthusiastically sign-up for the new health care law this year and of those 2.7 Million would be young people, willing to subsidize the increased health care costs for older less healthy Americans.

(Zero Hedge) After three and half years and we now know at a cost of over $1 Billion the feds still do not have a fully functional ObamaCare website yet we’re supposed to believe that somehow the government is going to efficiently manage health care that works.
Riiight…

(CNBC ) It could take a year to secure the risk of “high exposure” of personal information on the federal ObamaCare website said David Kennedy, a cyber-security expert appears on CNBC today.
“When you develop a website, you develop it with security in mind and it doesn’t appear to have happened this time.”
Surprised?
Why should anyone be surprised at government mismanaging the creation of a website which can only handle up to 50,000 users at a time–800,000 daily and claim with a straight face that Healthcare.gov is more stable and an efficient expenditure of taxpayers money when in comparison Amazon.com which has 2.7 million visitors a day and eBay, 4 million visitors a day with no excuses, no wait-time to get on their highly secure websites that are user friendly.
In related health care news. President Obama can’t assemble a team to build an efficient ACA website, has now launched a grandiose effort to cure HIV—Good luck with that.

Delusional: DNC Chief Claims Dems Can Run & Win on ObamaCare
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman writes that ObamaCare/Covered California is “looking pretty good” but that is, only if one dismisses reality.
Nearly two months have lapsed since the ObamaCare roll-out took place and the facts in California and the nation speak for themselves and no political hyperbole, Obama Administration talking points or their dinosaur media minions can spin the numbers to say they mean something different than what they are.
The Los Angeles Times reports that ‘Covered California’ health insurance exchange has posted ‘solid enrollment’ since the October 01–signing up nearly 80,000 people in ObamaCare approved health plans through the 19 November but fails to take into account for over 1 million cancellation notices that have been sent out to California residents that had and paid for their own health insurance before ObamaCare or the other mostly unreported consequences since the federal seizure of 20% of the nations economy.
Likewise, according to Watchdog.org a recent survey of California’s top hospitals has revealed that most contract with only 1 or 2 insurance companies under ObamaCare even though ‘Covered California’ has 11 companies left to choose from following the departure of three major health insurance providers that have chose to opt out of one of the largest insurance markets in the nation. Loma Linda Univ Medical Center has refused to participate altogether and has no contracts with ObamaCare participating insurance companies, leaving people with fewer health care and insurance options than before the federal mandated health insurance law went into effect.
Nationwide the news doesn’t get any better, according to US News & World Report in late October, Americans who sign-up for ObamaCare will be getting a big surprise if they expect premium health care that may been previously covered under their personal policies. Most of the top hospitals will only accept insurance from just one or two companies under ObamaCare.
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal in its assessment of Obama’s signature legislative achievement reports that “ObamaCare’s insurance costs more in return for worse coverage.”
How sad–that this was the best Obama and a Democrat Majority Congress had to offer Americans, when they rammed through the ‘Affordable Unaffordable Care Act’ without a single Republican vote, which we all now know whats in the bill since they passed it.
Obama’s ‘Respectful’ Letter to Conservatives: I have “made fun”
of Tea Baggers –HotAir
In Obama’s personal hand written letter to a Conservative Texas school teacher he writes:
“I sincerely believe the health care reform bill was the right thing to do for the country…And I hope that in the months to come, you will keep an open mind and evaluate it based not on the political attacks but on what it does or doesn’t do to improve peoples lives.”
Such as the 7 year old Hunter Alford of Gainsville, TX who is battling a rare form of cancer but lost his health insurance because of ObamaCare, World Net Daily reported this week.
Americans were told the health care law was designed to help children just like Hunter, born with a deadly pre-existing condition and little means to pay for expensive treatments.
Mr. Obama, what about the more than 1 Million California residents that have lost their health insurance thanks to ObamaCare or Malynda Birozy@Twitter who said about ObamaCare/Covered California: “I could actually afford health coverage before ObamaCare! Now I can’t afford any!!!”
What do you tell all of these people Mr. President?

(FOX News) Neatly 80 Million people with employer health plans will find their coverage canceled because there not compliant with the Affordable Unaffordable Care Act–Their losses would be in addition to the millions that have received cancellation notices for the same reason.
Stan Veyger of the American Enterprise Institute appearing on CNBC ‘Squawk Box’ said that in addition to the individual cancellations, “at least half the people on employer health plans would by 2014 start losing plans as well.
(FOX News) Islamic Fascist Iran and 6 world powers reached a deal today that we’re told will halt parts of Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for what is described by the Obama Administration as “modest relief” from international sanctions over the regimes ambitious nuclear program.
President Obama, speaking from the White House while Secy of State John Kerry inked the agreement in Geneva, called it a “first step toward a comprehensive solution.”
The nuclear deal while historic is a six month agreement which Sen Marco Rubio (R-FL) said that the agreement,”makes a nuclear Iran more, not less likely,” and calling it “a blow to our allies in the region who are already concerned about America’s commitment to their security and it sends the wrong message to the Iranian people, who continue to suffer under the repressive rule of their leaders who have only their own self-preservation in mind.”
While the Obama Administration is so anxious for what they perceive to be a foreign policy accomplishment of anything after their utter failures in Benghazi, Syria, Egypt and the recent ObamaCare roll-out fiasco, they continue to show their naivety in negotiating with Iran, which has demonstrated it has no credibility as long as they continue to hold American’s hostage, continue to fund Hamas and Hezbollah, exporting terrorism and killing Americans, with no consideration of the consequences because there are none.

(Watchdog.org) A little known provision tucked inside nearly 11,000 pages of ObamaCare regulations, doles out ‘Buy 1 Month Get 3 Free’ months of health care to individuals that choose to default on their premiums but soon, only for those not living in California.
People that receive the ObamaCare federal subsidy will be permitted to incur a 3 month ‘grace period’ if they can’t or won’t pay their premiums and then simply cancel their policies stiffing doctors and hospitals–their only down side is that they’ll have to wait the for following year’s ‘open enrollment’ if they want ObamaCare coverage again.
“It will break the system said, Rep Louie Golmert (R-TX) “This is a huge piece of evidence to show this can’t work, you will bankrupt the system and bankrupt people involved.”
“The hospitals, doctors and insurance companies will be left holding the bag. There will be disagreements over who will pay for it. Lawyers will get involved because we are talking about a lot of money,” added Golmert.
The State of California has decided to nix ‘Buy 1 Month Get 3 Free’ regulation in ObamaCare and says it is drafting language to state law that will say, policy holders will be suspended and unable to use their ObamaCare plan after one month of non-payment, which is consistent with other health insurance plans purchased outside ‘Covered California’ exchange.
Besides the ‘Buy 1 Month Get 3 Free’ non-sense ObamaCare rule, the Affordable Unaffordable Care Act also violates other California laws:
In related ObamaCare/Covered California news, President Obama’s so called “ACA Cancellation Fix” which he announced last week, that would by ‘Executive Fiat’ allow insurance companies to sell policies of health insurance for one additional year which do not meet the new ObamaCare mandates, in order to help Democrats that voted for the health care law that they never read before passing, has been rejected by ‘Covered California’ Board of Directors in a unanimous decision today despite President Obama’s pleas at the White House this week with state insurance commissioners.
