(WeeklyStandard) IRS Acting Commissioner Steven Miller testifying today at a House Ways & Means Committee Hearing claimed that targeting Conservative groups ‘absolutely was not illegal.’

It definitely wasn’t very reassuring to learn today, that Miller who is taking early retirement from his post at the IRS, was responsible for promoting Sarah Hall Ingram to head the ObamaCare enforcement division.

IRS to Enforce ObamaCare --Chicks On The RightIRS to Enforce ObamaCare  –Chicks On The Right

(Heritage Foundation) The recent admission by the IRS that its employees subjected Conservative groups and Jewish organizations whose activities contradicted the Obama Administration’s public policies, raises troubling questions about the agency’s ability to manage ObamaCare in a competent and impartial manner.

At a time when doubts are growing about the IRS’s politically biased behavior, ObamaCare regulators grants the agency massive new authority to implement its complex and bureaucratic regime.

HHS Believes Americans are So Stupid, They Must Teach Us How to Apply for ObamaCare

May 10, 2013 — Cristy Li

Stop And SpellStop & Spell –Image Courtesy: Teachers Paradise

(FOX Nation) The Obama Administration believes that Americans are just so stupid (except when Democrat/Progressives want you to vote for them) that Health & Human Services (HHS) Secy Kathleen Sebelius announced yesterday that HHS will spend waste $150 Million of the taxpayers money to teach people how to enroll in ObamaCare.

How many weeks of White House tours would that $150 Million have paid for, after them so called apocalyptic sequester spending cuts went into effect that Obama claimed would slowly cripple federal agencies and result in mass employment casualties?

Democrats Seek Billions More to Prop-Up Underfunded ObamaCare

ObamaCare Stole 700 Billion From MedicareDemocrats Raid $716 Billion from Medicare to Fund ObamaCare

(Washington Times) After Democrats raided $716 Billion from Medicare to pay for ObamaCare it turns out that Republicans and Conservatives were correct, President Obama’s signature legislative achievement is seriously underfunded and not deficit neutral as Americans were told.

President Obama’s budget blueprint that came out late this week, seeks $440 Million in new funding to bolster the Internal Revenue Service which is to enforce ObamaCare’s individual mandate and set up insurance exchanges, together with an additional $1.5 Billion for the Dept of Health & Human Services (HHS) to run the federally run ObamaCare exchanges.

HHS Secy Kathleen Sebelius who acknowledged this week that ObamaCare is more complicated than expected now is saying that Congress ‘must approve’ these new funds to operate the health care exchanges–good luck with that happening.

(Washington Times) Democrat Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, a leading force in the creation of ObamaCare now says that President Obama’s chief legislative achievement is at risk of failing under its own regulatory weight and that its becoming too complicated to properly implement.

On the 12 March, I wrote here that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Tweeted out a picture of 828 pages of new ObamaCare regulations in one day–there are nearly 20,000 pages and their just getting started.

Democrats Begin to Freak Over ObamaCare Chaos

ObamaCare ChaosObamaCare Chaos –Patriot Update

(The Hill)  Delays in implementation of the so-called “popular” pieces of ObamaCare are hurting Democrats.

Ahead of the 2014 mid-term elections in which Republicans promise to make health care an issue again, Democrats are criticizing the Obama Administration for delaying policies that could maybe build support for the unpopular law.

Democrats this week are complaining about a 1 year delay in a key program allegedly said to help small businesses–a central selling point of ObamaCare that now will not be in place when voters go to the polls next year. Democrats are likewise complaining about other aspects of the law (which had they read the bill before final passage) 33 Democrats cast a non-binding vote last month to repeal ObamaCare’s Tax on medical devices, saying now that its a threat to innovation and will raise costs to consumers.

On the 14 February, I wrote here according to a new survey of major health insurers, representing the vast majority of covered individuals in the United States finds that cost of health insurance premiums for the relatively young and healthy in both small and large markets will increase by 169% next year–ahead of the Congressional elections.

Actuaries Offer Sobering Look at the Rising Costs for Individual Mandated Insurance Coverage

March 28, 2013 — Cristy Li

Rising Health Care Premiums

(Washington Guardian) In a new report that could become a political headache for Democrats that saddled us with ObamaCare,  The Society of Actuaries estimated on Tuesday, that insurers will have to pay out an average of 32% more for claims for individuals because of ObamaCare, a cost likely to be passed on to consumers.

Yesterday I wrote here that Health & Human Service Secy Kathleen Sebelius finally admits what many of us knew health care premiums are rising because of President Obama’s chief legislative achievement–ObamaCare.
