Muckraker’s post about the Times shilling for Obamacare got me curious so I read the article.
Looking for an explanation of what might exempt a person from having to sign up, I built this list from the Times article:
Members of a federally recognized tribe
People who are incarcerated
Those not living legally in the United States (so much for honesty in immigration)
Those facing eviction or foreclosure
Someone who has received a shut-off notice from a utility
Bankruptcy filers in the past six months
Those that have recently experienced domestic violence or the death of a close family member
Left out
The article did not point out that:
Members of congress and their staffs will have their coverage paid for by the feral government
Nor did it point out that even though the IRS was allocated one billion dollars to implement Obamacare they will be unable to verify applications for personal subsidies to buy Obamacare. If you meet certain requirements the government will give you money to help you buy your insurance.
Verifying applications will be too difficult for the IRS so they will rely on the honor system.
We deserve better

It was almost 20 years ago that I mentioned on a radio show that because of technology, that our government should be the most affordable than it has ever been. We no longer need an office of government employees, just a computer and a couple of employees. That whole ‘smaller government thing’ didn’t seem to resonate very well. It seems that almost everytime a society collapses, it’s because of a bloated government. It also seems that in the history of mankind, that the pendulum is starting to swing away from freedom and liberty. But at least we can now use a high-tech gadget to calculate how much “free” money we’ll recieve next month.
