Five hurdles for Obamacare going into open enrollment

The second year of Obamacare open enrollment kicks off on Nov. 15, and it may be an even bigger mess than the first year. After all, the Department of Health and Human Services has already lowered its enrollment expectations. Here are five new obstacles that are likely to complicate this enrollment season.

Less time. The 2015 enrollment period will last only three months, half the length of 2014’s enrollment period. With Americans still extremely confused about Obamacare the stunted timeframe is a big red flag — especially if the glitches plaguing HealthCare.gov continue to be a major problem.

Reaching the uninsured. The Obama administration has scaled back on marketing targeting uninsured Americans. If these people didn’t sign up the first time around, why would they second time?

Re-enrollment confusion. Existing customers who wish to change their health coverage could and most likely will reveal new issues with the federal exchange that weren’t exposed the first time around. For example, an insurer might not learn their customer has dropped them for a different company, or an enrollee who stopped paying premiums might be automatically re-enrolled.

Glitches. HealthCare.gov is not glitch free or secure. Period.

Political environment. The current political climate doesn’t favor Obamacare, and neither do Americans. Period.

HHS predicts 2015 Obamacare signups will be MILLIONS fewer than expected

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Monday projected that between 9 million and 9.9 million people will enroll in Obamacare in 2015. That may sound like a lot, but it’s at least 3.1 million FEWER than Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates:

HHS, which previously declined to project 2015 sign-ups, said that between 9 million and 9.9 million people are expected to participate in the exchanges in 2015.

The figure was less than the CBO’s projection of 13 million for 2015 enrollment, raising questions about the exchanges’ performance, compared with expectations.

HHS officials described their figures as more complete than the CBO’s and said the health insurance marketplaces are simply not “ramping up” at the rate the office projected.

Let’s make this perfectly clear: Even the department in charge of Obamacare believes that it’s on course to underperform. Of course, HHS tried to explain it away by claiming it will take “four or five years” for the system to reach maturity and insisting 9 million signups in 2015 will still be “important and significant.”

Well, if a Republican Congress and administration has anything to say about it, Obamacare won’t reach maturity.

Pro-life Christian alternative to Obamacare growing fast

A Christian alternative to Obamacare that uses “care-sharing” has been growing rapidly since Obamacare’s rocky debut last fall. Medi-Share is a national network of care-sharing ministries that links Christians who want to share each other’s medical costs.

Fox News explains how this Christian alternative worked for one mother:

Eileen Wade has been a Medi-Share member since 2011. When one of her sons knocked his front teeth out, she took him to the doctor. Wade paid $100 out of pocket for her deductible and sent Medi-Share the remaining $1,200 in medical bills – all of which was covered by other members.

Wade remarked on the program:

They work just like insurance as far as I’m concerned, but it’s just a Christian option. It’s actually cheaper than anybody that I know that’s on a normal insurance plan.

If  you think Medi-Share’s “care-sharing” sounds a lot like Obamacare’s “risk pools,” you’re not alone. The differences? First, people voluntarily sign up for Medi-Share, as opposed to being forced into Obamacare. Second, the Medi-Share program has few complaints in 21 years of operation, while Obamacare has thousands of complaints in less than one year. Third, Medi-Share is pro-life, and asks members to commit to biblical values — no drugs, limited alcohol, and no sex until marriage — before joining.

Democrats fleeing from Obamacare

Democrats have been the driving force behind Obamacare since the law’s beginning: they wrote it, they passed it, and they planned to run on its success. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, was pretty clear when she said:

You’re darn right that our candidates are going to run on the advantage that Obamacare will be going into the 2014 election. The choice will be very clear.

Well, that plan isn’t exactly panning out as planned, considering the law has been an utter disaster. Democrats are now fleeing from shouldering responsibility for the half-broken website, hundreds of thousands of canceled plans, skyrocketing premiums, loss of quality care, and stalled job growth as a result of Obamacare.

Remember, these supposed “representatives” of the people are from the same party as Nancy Pelosi, whose famous admonition that “we have to pass [Obamacare] so that you can find out what is in it” will haunt the party long past the mid-term elections.
