ObamaCare applicaiton

AP: Applying for benefits under ObamaCare could be as daunting as doing your taxes. Gubbermint’s “draft application” “…runs 15 pages for a three-person family. The online version has 21 steps… At least three major federal agencies, including the IRS, will scrutinize your application.” As a commenter noted, “The theory is that you’ll die of old age or a disease before you complete the application process.”

  • Of course the gooberment will have to hire millions and millions of employees to very carefully sift through all this paper. And of course, there is absolutely no one on earth that will get it right the first five or ten submissions. So that will spring up a complete industry of lawyers to fill out the forms for them......paid for by the gooberment of course. Isn't the gooberment the same outfit that is running the USPS...and the VA....and the TSA....and the education system.....and the welfare system....and the etc etc. What could possibly go wrong?????

      • Well, from the taxes all these paperpushers would pay, obviously. I just had a thought. If they taxed all government employees at 110%, then their costs to society would balance out, with 10% for overhead.

  • It's a good thing trees are a harvestable product seeing that this so called green administration keeps turning out volumes of paper work with each PoS of legislation that it pushes.

  • Ok, so they want job and income info. I suspect that this is just so they know who to go to for the money to finance this.

  • Crowley must be "grandfathered in". He would never work that hard.
    Well, maybe for free stuff.

    • I am sure his mom will fill it out for him, I don't think you can fill this out with Crayon. And besides under income there would be nothing but zero's so mommy won't have to work to hard.
