Twist in Obama's health care law allows middle class free health care
President Barack Obama's health care law would let several million middle-class people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor, a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed.
If only we hadn't let people read it before or after it was passed...
The change would affect early retirees: A married couple could have an annual income of about $64,000 and still get Medicaid, said officials who make long-range cost estimates for the Health and Human Services department.
Gee,that is a big fucking "Oops" isn't it? Oh, and that crashing sound you hear is the actual debt smashing the projected ceiling.

As former Utah Governor says, "The fact that this is being discovered now tells you, what else is baked into this law?"

#1  what else is baked into this law? The law was half baked to start with. Now our goose is getting cooked.

#2  It's all a joke to Obumble

Over the last 15 months we’ve created over 2.1 million private sector jobs. (Laughter.)

#3  I use to think the liberals were just stupid; but if stupid at least by chance one of their policies would benefit America. They knew exactly what they did or they would of let someone objective read the bill first.

#4  The PJ Tatler has an interesting theory on this.

"...it makes sense if you went into crafting the bill with an agenda to kill off private insurance to force a national move to single payer, government-run health care. And we know from his own words that President Obama believed in that agenda, at least at one time. Democrats now say that this isn’t a glitch at all.

Indeed, administration officials and senior Democratic lawmakers say it’s not a loophole but the result of a well-meaning effort to simplify rules for deciding who will get help with insurance costs under the new health care law. Instead of a hodgepodge of rules, there will be one national policy.

“This simplification will stop people from falling into coverage gaps and may cause some to be newly eligible for Medicaid and others to no longer qualify,” said Brian Cook, spokesman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.


And it makes sense, if your aim is to get millions more Americans dependent on government services."

#5  Everything O'bammer does is agenda and ideologically-driven. Oh, and when it's not narcissistically-driven. The health care law was bullshit to begin with and it's still bullshit.
