Sebelius: I'm Not Signing Up for Obamacare

Sebelius: I'm Not Signing Up for Obamacare
October 23, 2013 By Susan Jones

In an interview with CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta Tuesday night, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said she won't be enrolling in the problem-plagued health insurance system that she was charged to implement.   "I have created an account on the site. I have not tried signing up, because I have insurance," she told Gupta.

 But Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says government officials like Sebelius should be required to live under the same laws they impose on everyone else.- See more at:
 
'I Think,' 'I Think,' 'I Think': Sebelius 'Thinks' More Than She 'Knows'
October 23, 2013 By Susan Jones

In response to simple questions asked by CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta Tuesday night, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius often appeared vague or uncertain, frequently hedging her remarks with the phrase, "I think." She appeared to "know" very little.

 Sebelius used the phrase "I think" or "we think" or "I don't think" 17 times during the interview. In fact, the first words out of her mouth were, "I think what we know is..."

Asked what is wrong with the healthcare.gov website, Sebelius said, "Well, I think what we know is that we had an enormous volume, and the volume both caused some issues to show up and exposed some additional issues."- See more at:

 GOP Congressman: Not 'Unfair' for Him to Get Tax Subsidy for Obamacare
October 23, 2013 By Susan Jones

Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) told C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" on Wednesday that as a member of Congress, he'll be forced to get his own insurance through the Obamacare exchanges, and that he thinks taxpayers should continue helping him pay his premiums.

Members of Congress, like Barton, get paid $174,000 per year, and, as Barton noted on C-SPAN, he also gets a subsidy of more than $10,800 per year to pay for his health insurance.

Americans in the private sector forced to get health insurance through the Obamacare exchanges will only get a taxpayer subsidy if they earn less than 400 percent of the poverty level. For someone earning $174,000 per year like a congressman to get a normal Obamacare subsidy they would have to have at least 9 dependent children.- See more at:

Dont' Forget Obamacare's Electronic Medical Records Wreck!
By Michelle Malkin Oct. 23, 2013

Dr. Nicholas DiNubile, a Philadelphia orthopedic surgeon, has a timely reminder for everyone encountering the federal health care exchange meltdown: "If you think signing up for Obamacare is a nightmare, ask your doctor how the EMR mandate is going.".....Doctors face steep penalties if they can't meet the radical technology goals -- including "meaningful use" of electronic medical records -- imposed by the very same Obamacare bureaucrats who now need an emergency "tech surge" to fix their own failed info-tech Titanic. The Obamacare wrecking ball has only just begun. - See more at:
