(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.

“If ‘Covered California’ is so good and everyone knows that health care reform (HCR) happened, why do we the taxpayers have (to) cover a million moronic ads for it.” —Lydia Loudon@Twitter

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.

In California, More People Are Finding Out They’ll Also Be Paying More for Health Insurance

Monday, November 4th, 2013

ObamaCare/Covered California Like the Feds Continuing Website Failures –Image: Ben K@Twitter

(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.

Michigan Democrat Congressman Say’s They’re Not Cancellation Notices, They’re “Transitions” into ObamaCare

Tuesday, October 29th, 2013

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?

Its an ObamaCare/Covered California Halloween

(LA Times) Fullerton, CA resident Jennifer Harris, thought she had a great deal paying $98 a month for her health insurance through Health Net Inc until she opened up a letter from the company saying that it will cancel her health insurance policy at the end of the year as it doesn’t conform to ObamaCare’s unfunded federal mandates.

Now Harris, a self employed Attorney must shop for replacement insurance the least expensive policy that she has found will cost her $238 per month–so much for Obama’s repeated ~~promises~~ lies that if you like your health insurance, you can keep it.

ObamaCare Dummy Files Created Offers Star Wars Characters; Covered California Soliciting Testimonials in Craigslist Los Angeles

Friday, October 25th, 2013

Dunny DAta File--ObamaCare

(Washington Examiner) A dummy Java Script file on Healthcare.gov website features characters from Star War’s and Transformers.

What’s up with that?

Dummy javascript files are generally used for testing purposes and are rarely released to a live website–at least the ones set up up “Adult” IT Pro’s.

An address within the code points to Laserwash car wash in Harker Heights, TX

In related health care news, the Obama Administration celebrates ObamaCare for Women in a series of Tweets on Thursday.

ObamaCare Propaganda Nothing is Free–Someone Has to Pay For It

What they seem to leave out (again) on Monday, CBS News Los Angeles reported that Deborah Cavallaro got a letter from letter from Anthem Blue Cross of California which stated:

“Because of the ~~requirements~~ mandates of the new laws, we can no longer offer your current Anthem policy.” The letter also said that Cavallaro is being offered a new policy and her monthly premium will increase from $292 to $484

If ObamaCare/Covered California is so good, why are they soliciting on Craigslist Los Angeles offering to pay $250.00 for testimonials, “about the positive impact the Affordable Care Act has had on Health, Finances and Piece of Mind for You and Your Family.”

California Workers Comp Rates May Rise 9.5% in January, How is ObamaCare Bending the Insurance Cost Curve Downward?

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013

Congressional Democrats Promised ‘Affordable Health Care For America’ Image Courtesy: Forbes

(San Francisco Business Times) The California Workers Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau (WCIRB) is considering recommending a 9.5% rate increase to the California Dept of Insurance a jump over its earlier 7.6% earlier recommendation.

Remember when President Obama promised that his health care overall would “bend the cost curve and start actually reducing health care costs…”

Should the WCIRB governing committee follow the new recommendations, many California employers are likely to face steeper worker’s compensation rates come January which they will be forced to pass on to consumers or layoff employees to pay for.

How is ObamaCare in California, bending the insurance cost curve and reducing health care costs?

California Public School Children Being Deployed to Promote ObamaCare

Just when one didn’t think the ObamaCare Roll-Out Team would come up with any other loony things to do to promote Obama’s broken chief legislative achievement, President Obama’s Minions never fail to do even more peculiar things.

ObamaCare/Covered California and The Children’s Partnership have teamed up to promote government managed health care to children and their families via newsletters, text messages, social media sites, at public school sporting events, health fairs and during them ‘suggested’ really cool extra special activities “enrollment nights” where families may gather at the school computer lab (isn’t that exciting) or elsewhere to get information on how to apply for ObamaCare.

Another reason that my six year old attends Catholic school.
