Obamacare Complicated? Check Out The Flow Chart
As this graphic shows, the new law creates 68 grant programs, 47 bureaucratic entities, 29 demonstration or pilot programs, 6 regulatory systems, 6 compliance standards and 2 entitlements. What could possibly go wrong with something so-well organized?

This chart was meticulously compiled over the last four months after perusing the 2,841 pages of Obamacare that no one who voted for the bill bothered to read.
The HHS czar, Kathleen Sebelius, has 2200 references in the law and 600 new authorities which cannot be challenged. On the chart everything in dark blue to the left are expansions, orange are those empowered with rationing healthcare in the future. In the bottom left hand corner in blue, 150 new bureaucracies and boards have been created between doctor and patient. Those in yellow are specific mandates and there are 17 new mandates on insurance. Rep. Brady stated this law is so complex he couldn’t get the chart to fit on one page, the chart is only actually 1/3 of the size of the law so he shows “bundles of bureaucracy.” For example, one brown bundle hides 59 grant programs. Green diamonds are the taxes this law has created. In the far right corner are 19 special interest provisions, including the “Louisiana Purchase” and special interests for unions.
Buried deep in the law are 19 special sections that cannot be challenged by the courts or any regulatory system. What the public is being sold and what the law actually has are 2 totally different things.
And jobs created? Yes. Many. 16,500 new IRS agents to police the law and an explosion of jobs in the HHS Department. Please print out copies of this chart and hand to your friends, families and pass out wherever. The public needs to be educated about the impact of this law and what it will mean for their future.

If you have ever watched this show and their crazy expensive lifestyle, you probably never realized that you were picking up their tab. They enjoyed fast cars, a big house, many other smaller homes, expensive trips, and the crazy New Jersey in your face mafioso lifestyle. Yes, the banks let them have multiple mortgages on numerous properties and gave them big fat loans with you, the taxpayer, as the guarantor.

I get so tired of Canadian health care being demonized by the media, even the Canadian media! I don't know what it would cost in the US to walk into a clinic, get xrays and a temporary filling but I suspect it's much more than $120. And Obama care is going to make it waaaaay worse.
http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/legal-challenges/194623-dems-ramp-up-attacks-on-justice-thomas-ahead-of-health-law-ruling
House Democrats wrote to the U.S. Judicial Conference on Friday urging the watchdog agency to request that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder investigate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Thomas is under scrutiny for failing to report at least $1.6 million that his wife earned from conservative interests between 1997 and 2007. The letter, spearheaded by House Rules ranking member Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) and signed by 51 House Democrats, comes after newly released documents show Thomas properly reported his wife's income for at least seven years before 1997....
....."I request that Justice Kagan recuse herself immediately from hearing the ObamaCare case," Cain said in a statement. "Members of the highest court in the land should be impartial, strictly follow the Constitution and should not carry water for former employers in the White House."
And on Friday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and three other senators wrote to Holder demanding that he comply with congressional oversight requests regarding Kagan’s role in the administration’s defense of the health care law. Holder has said Kagan was removed from any meetings where litigation was discussed, but Republicans want to see evidence that she was not privy to discussions of legal claims and litigation strategy concerning court challenges to the law.

Note: Too bad 60 minutes wouldn't do an interview of people in Massachusetts who are on "romneycare" and ask them how that is working out. Hint, it is extremely difficult and at times near impossible to find anyone who can provide service. What needs to be done is what worked back in the late 70's early 80's, not this dream pipe that had to be passed so we could see what is in it.

[snip]
The Internal Revenue Service and the Health and Human Services Department emphasized exceptions to the mandate, which were detailed in new regulations that also laid out the process by which the IRS will calculate penalties for going uninsured.
The mandate requires most taxpayers to either buy insurance or pay a fine to the IRS. It's one of the most politically unpopular provisions of the healthcare law, and was at the core of last year's historic Supreme Court case over the healthcare law.
HHS referred to the politically charged provision as a system of "shared responsibility" payments.
-------
Ok folks, they use the term "Shared Responsibility". So for all the fraud going on, the shared responsibility are bonus's, non- prosecution and get out of jail free cards for the perps, more crony capitalism and special exemptions for congress while we have the living shit kicked out of us.

When the actions of the federal government succeed in riling up the normally stoic Fox News host Greta Van Susteren, you can be sure that something sinister is afoot.
And she is so ticked by the current reign of lawlessness she could just vomit!
As elected officials slipped out of town for a 5-week recess, we learned a deal was struck to exempt Congress from new higher premiums associated with ObamaCare.

Plus don't forget they gutted the stock act awhile back, allowing them to legally conduct insider trading again.

http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/318577-architects-of-obamacare-reap-windfall-as-washington-lobbyists
ObamaCare has become big business for an elite network of Washington lobbyists and consultants who helped shape the law from the inside.
More than 30 former administration officials, lawmakers and congressional staffers who worked on the healthcare law have set up shop on K Street since 2010.
Major lobbying firms such as Fierce, Isakowitz & Blalock, The Glover Park Group, Alston & Bird, BGR Group and Akin Gump can all boast an ObamaCare insider on their lobbying roster — putting them in a prime position to land coveted clients.
“When [Vice President] Biden leaned over [during healthcare signing] and said to [President] Obama, ‘This is a big f'n deal,’” said Ivan Adler, a headhunter at the McCormick Group, “he was right.”
When the trail is followed the money keeps going to the same parties repeatedly. I have found the linkages between renewables and the medical (obamacare) pretty damning. Same folks and names we have mentions here all too many times. My focus is now on two private hedge funds (certainly the banks are involved) with very close ties to this administration. These are the same persons/entities and the same problems.
I will update on the specifics shortly.

The coverage of Madison Dearborn's investment range from basic industries to consumer health care to government and business services.

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20130202/ISSUE01/302029975/who-really-runs-madison-dearborn
Though they've been co-CEOs of Madison Dearborn Partners LLC for five years, Paul Finnegan and Sam Mencoff still toil largely in the shadow of the firm's man-about-town chairman, John Canning Jr. But quietly, the duo is leading Chicago's largest private-equity outfit toward a rebound by steering away from multibillion-dollar buyouts to return to the middle-market deals that were Madison Dearborn's original pursuit.
If the course change isn't yet shifting the spotlight to these two 50-somethings with Harvard MBAs, it is making investors take notice. Through the year ended in the third quarter, the composite value of Madison Dearborn's six funds increased 26 percent from a year earlier, outdoing the 15 percent year-over-year rise for the U.S. Private Equity Index as compiled by Cambridge Associates LLC....

The better coverage is the slippery slope,

Romney and Koch are identical, as I see it (it's opinion--)
They seem to take advantage of the groups, including rent-a-Tea Party,
that take up the cause of sociopathy.
Replace democracy with monopoly and privatization and have
a spouse or political ally, judge'y-witchhunt'y, demonize, so as
to make afraid of being demonized, any disapprover.
That's Oz (after ounces of gold,) really the product of
L. Frank Baum's mother-in-law, Joslyn Matilda Gage,
who, far from anti-moral, was deeply religious.
There are differences between left-right economically,
but mainly l-r/j-c-m/g-s/mexican-u.s./the like are
for demonizing and enabling privatizing profits, not
cost.
But the g-s can be part of a conveyed proving if
the Chinese morality's identical after a date, the Lost
Tribe being Chinese.
And no matter who's holding whom up front to see,
because of their desparate need to sell out and look
important, having had parents who cared more
about witchhunt, or selfishly adapting to it, Nostradamus,
a Jewish doctor and Kabalah master, became a
priest not to simply conform and have access to the
best books, but because he saw, in preparing his
unification of math-morality-history, validity in
Catholic prophesy.

AUGUSTA, Maine — Sen. Angus King said Tuesday that despite having told a reporter that opponents of the Affordable Care Act who urged college students not to buy health insurance were “guilty of murder,” he is ready to work with all political parties to improve the health care law.
“That’s a scandal — those people are guilty of murder in my opinion,” King told a reporter from Salon.com in an article published Monday. “Some of those people they persuade are going to end up dying because they don’t have health insurance. For people who do that to other people in the name of some obscure political ideology is one of the grossest violations of our humanity I can think of. This absolutely drives me crazy.”

First, apologies to my readers for the diversion from the usual fare, but I’ll point out that this entry is covered under the masthead in the category of “recent news” and there’s a relevant WUWT category.
Since like many of you, I’ve been forced to sign a document (at my radio station where I employed part-time) that confirms I’ve been given another document that advises me of my Obamacare rights, and of course being in tune to the news, I’ve been wondering if the claims about the Obamacare websites are as bad as claimed...
...So, I decided to find out myself. I went to http://healthcare.gov and chose my state, California. What follows is a record of what I actually got. I never made it past step 1:
