Our Cold Civil War has begun - On to the ObamaCare Meltdown

As with the Cold War, we fought mostly without violence, but ironically, the enemy is the same, Totalitarian Government. It has been encroaching on our lives for decades, but now its main battlefront has attacked us with Obamacare. It is the major battle to win an set back the evil forces that have become an all intrusive government. Stop it though total no agreement, noncompliance and absolute refusal to allow it implementation. Civil Disobedience will most likely be a part of what is necessary to stop it. It was passed without consent, by means of a parliamentary device only used for budget resolution when the Senate Votes were not their for its passage after the people of Mass. voted in Scott Walker in order to stop its final passage. The President, as Dictator, was not pleased with the will of the Republic and bypassed the law and was able to hoodwink its implementation with secret deals and illegal exceptions, Since the government has been going along with it, including the anti-Constitutional and Tax Loving Supreme Court, and all of the Government and its staff has also exempted itself form Obamacare, we are now forced to exempt ourselfs by any means required! m/r

On to the ObamaCare Meltdown | FrontPage Magazine

By Arnold Ahlert On October 18, 2013 
There’s good news and bad news for conservatives in the wake of the deal that reopened the federal government. The bad news is that Americans have once again been offered a lousy package that does nothing to solve the nation’s out-control spending habits. The good news is that much of the attention the public devoted to the shutdown and the debt ceiling will now be focused on the disaster known as ObamaCare. It is a disaster wholly owned by Democrats.
Moreover, it is one born of unbridled hubris. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and her planners were given ample warning by health industry insiders and low-level Obama administration officials that the exchanges had not been properly tested and implementation schedules were not being met, despite having a three year window and hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on building the Healthcare.gov website. Sebelius ignored those warnings. But telltale signs, such as her ongoing efforts to denigrate critics, as well as her refusal to turn over documents to the HHS inspector general for a routine performance audit, indicated all was not well.
The latter revelation might be telling: the actual money spent setting up the website is almost impossible to determine. According to Reuters, the original cost to build the site was approximately $93.7 million. Yet that total tripled to $292 million when new money was assigned to site construction as late as April. That assignment apparently coincided with warnings from federal and state officials that the information technology on which these online exchanges were based was not working properly.
....

Administration officials, and their useful idiot supporters in the media, continue to insist that all is well with the rollout. But considering this administration’s penchant for “spiking the football” whenever they do something they consider a success, it is telling that Sebelius refuses to reveal any data about how many people have actually signed up for a plan. The “most transparent administration in history” claims it will make the figures available sometime in November. “We will release monthly data when it is available,” a senior administration official told CNN. “We have not given an exact date, but it will be after end of month and we will work with states to collect their data to have a good picture of what’s happening across the country.”
