Navigating the Obamacare marketplace labyrinth. “The efficiency of the DMV combined with the intrusiveness of the NSA and the credit bureau.” One woman’s long day’s journey into the night of Obamacare. Leave it to the gubbermint to create a web page with a waiting line. Wonder what the penalty is for leaving the page without permission…

I just want all of us producers to stop... just stop for a week and then start up again and state to the government: "If you don't stop the madness we will stop producing again until the madness is over." One week were all producers just stop will be disastrous. We need to stop feeding the beast.
There is no penalty for leaving the site without enrolling; there is, however, an impatience tax.
I'd like to see everyone who is against this POS get on the phone to the number listed and ask as many stupid questions as possible, keep the agents busy and grind this thing to a stop. In a normal world that would be an effective method to kill the beast. Unfortunately the administration would consider call volume a measure of success and hire eleventy thousand more operators to handle the calls.
Reminds me... Back when we were killing the planet faster and could only drive 55mph on interstates designed to carry semis hauling nuclear missiles @ 75 per. I live close to I-70 out in farm country and there's a spot where a local two lane parallels it for a couple miles about 75 yards apart. One spot was a perfect angle for a picture that would show the county road, it's 55 speed limit sign, all four lanes of 70 and it's huge 55 speed limit sign.
Always wanted to do it and send it off as a "what's wrong with this picture" thing to illustrate the absurdity of the Carter speed limits. But I was afraid they'd see the error of their ways and lower the limit on the county road so I never did.
Is that a locomotive I see coming around the corner at too high a speed?
I need to ask my liberal co-worker who plans to retire early how Ocare is looking for him. He plans to retire this year at 62 and his wife has several existing conditions. Other than being politically stupid he's a really nice guy. I'm almost not going to enjoy watching him cancel his plans and wind up working til he's 67.
I just decided, at 55, to take my chances with no insurance until I turn 67. I didn't want to work as a heavy equipment operator enough to keep my insurance alive, I can't afford private insurance, and I can't afford Obamacare. So I gamble. If anything happens, I guess it's the emergency room. It's ok, I know a little Spanish.
Not enough to pass as an illegal, and get free healthcare.
No, but enough to curse out the welfare momma with the dozen snot nosed kids.
Hell Flash, I just put on my green cap that says BORDER PATROL on it, walk in the door with the phone in my ear, say Yeah, okay, a few times then look around and say in a loud and authoritative voice: "Okay folks, lets start seeing those green cards."
Amazing how quickly you move to the head of the line.
I'm going to have to give that a try. A concealed video camera would be a nice add.
Can ya defect to China?
Only if you bring your portion of the national debt with you.
I wonder how many people signed up so far? I only heard of that one guy. You would think if it was a smashing success the Obama media would be tallying the numbers every day.
The guy I think you mean lied about enrolling. He later admitted doing so.

"Yes, we have no bananas,
We have no bananas today...
In Polish: "Tak, nie mamy bananow, nie mamy bananow dzisiaj..."
Just thought I'd add my worthless two cents...sorry.
You caught that? We're getting old! Mr. Chapin would be so proud. (and just an off the wall aside; Who Dey! Cut me some slack, I'm a Bengals fan, to hold the Patriots to no TDs...)
You will be permanently enrolled in the most expensive plan.
