(LA Times) President Obama has put a new shine on his beleaguered ObamaCare pitch this week reportedly urging ‘Organizing for Action’ his most loyal minions to help him spread “far and wide” the good news of ObamaCare which he continues to say is “making the insurance market better for everybody.”
Riiight…
Tell that to the 900,000 in California that will lose their health insurance as the ObamaCare disaster spreads or to the 2,500 ‘David’s Bridal’ employees that have been moved to part-time because of ObamaCare.

(Circa News) The California Endowment a seemingly private, statewide health foundation founded in 1996 received a $9.2 Million federal grant in August to help educate people about ObamaCare has now awarded redistributed $500,000 to the Norman Lear Center of the University of Southern California academics to brief TV writers and producers on the wonders of ObamaCare.
The purpose of the “grant” is to ensure that the media will help (even more than they already have) government central planners to propagandize federally mandated health insurance into plot lines of popular television shows.

In related ObamaCare/Covered California news, the Los Angeles Times reported that Alameda Alliance has been removed from the state health care exchange further reducing the number of choices available to consumers.
On the 29 May, I wrote here that AETNA Insurance, together with United Health Group and CIGNA chose to opt-out of Covered California, the nations largest health care exchange.

(Sacramento Bee) Hundreds of thousands of California residents who purchase their own health insurance are bracing to pay more for their health plans thanks to the ObamaCare mandates.
On the 28 October, I wrote here about Fullerton resident Jennifer Harris who was happy with her health insurance and $98 monthly premium through Health Net, Inc but despite President Obama’s promises lies that if one likes their health insurance they could keep it period. Harris a self-employed Attorney must shop for a new policy of insurance because of ObamaCare, the least expensive policy that she has been able to find will boost her health care insurance $1,680 annually.
Jennifer Thieme lives outside San Diego and has an individual health insurance policy for her 18 year old son through Anthem Blue Cross that shes been happy with. Thieme pays $72 a month with a $5,000 deductible and an annual out-of-pocket limit of $8,500–the first two visits to the doctor have a co-pay of $40 and a $15 co-pay for generic prescriptions.
Thanks to ObamaCare federal mandated health insurance, Thieme’s new Obama approved health insurance for her 18 year old Son that must include maternity care, will cost $127 per month a 72% increase. “The co-pays and the monthly fees have all gone up and those are the things that affect me the most on a day-to-day basis.”
Eric J Taylor a 55 year old health economist from Sacramento are among those feeling the ObamaCare squeeze. In September after initially receiving word that his present $253 monthly health care plan would continue, Taylor subsequently received a cancellation notice from Kaiser Permanente and that he would be automatically enrolled in a plan that meets the new federal law mandates.
Taylor’s current plan has a deductible of $5,000 and an annual out-of-pocket maximum of $5,000 with no charges for routine physical examinations. The new Obama approved health care insurance has a deductible of $4,500 maximum $6,350 and will cost $449 monthly, nearly a 100% increase.

(Breitbart) In another stunning blow to ObamaCare’s Contraption Mandate, today the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit under the caption of Francis A Gilardi, et al -v- U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services, et al Case No 13-5069 in a well reasoned opinion agreed with the Appellants, that the ObamaCare Contraption Mandate violates their constitutional liberties pursuant to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
In November, 2012 ‘Hot Air’ wrote here that the 8th U.S. Circuit Ct of Appeals issued a TRO prohibiting the Dept of Health and Human Services from implementing the ObamaCare Contraption mandate against a Missouri business owner.

ObamaCare Enrollments LOL –Image: The Daily Beast@Twitter
(CBS News) Ever since Day 1 of the roll-out of ObamaCare, the White House has been telling us that millions and millions Americans have been visiting the ObamaCare website (which hasn’t worked more than it has worked) but no one has been willing to tell us how many people actually enrolled in the federally managed health insurance, at least not until now.
We now have learned only 6 people enrolled in ObamaCare during the first day of ObamaCare’s website launch, according to a document request by the House Oversight Committee.
So much for all of the excitement to enroll in ObamaCare as the reason for the website crashes.
More and More Americans Losing Their Health Ins –Heritage Foundation
(Washington Examiner) Michigan Democrat Congressional Rep Sander Levin claims that health insurance companies are really not sending out ‘cancellation notices’ to their policy holders but are merely helping people “transition” into ObamaCare.
Riiight…
Tell that to Jennifer Harris of Fullerton, California who was happy with her $98 a month health insurance policy but has received a cancellation notice from Health Net, Inc informing her that her insurance will be canceled at the end of the year because it doesn’t conform to ObamaCare unfunded individual mandate.
Rep Sander Levin may want to ask California resident Deborah Cavallaro what she thinks about her insurance premiums rising $2,304 annually?
Whatever happened to Obama’s pledge to Americans that health insurance premiums will be $2,500 lower under ObamaCare?
