GUESS HOW MANY OF OBAMA’S HUMAN PROPS ACTUALLY ENROLLED IN OBAMACARE

One would assume that the human props Obama used on Monday during his Obamacare infomercial were actually enrolled in Obamacare, right? One would have to think that these people Obama summoned to the White House had somehow made it through the impenetrable $634 million website that doesn’t work, correct? Not so fast! How many of these thirteen people have actually purchased health care insurance through the Obamacare “exchange?”

Like everything Obamacare (and Obama for that matter), the sales presentation was built on a house of lies.

According to Kremlin.gov Whitehouse.gov website (see below for descriptions), one prop, Ginger Gutting, works for the large drugstore, CVS. The blurb about prop Ginger doesn’t say whether she has signed up for Obamacare or has even visited the website for that matter. It only applauds prop Ginger for observing the “impact” Obamacare has had on her customers.

Then there’s Walt Rowen, a small business owner. He apparently hasn’t signed up for Obamacare, yet is thankful that his premiums only increased by 7% this year. It is mentioned that a “few years ago” someone quoted him a premium of 130%. It is not stated is whether Mr. Rowen actually purchased this insurance or whether this is the exact same coverage as he currently has.

Human prop Jessica Ugalde, age unknown, is able to stay on her mother’s insurance plan thanks to Obamacare, so assumably didn’t have to visit the Obamacare website, register, or purchase insurance.

Wasn’t the purpose of this Rose Garden speech supposed to be Obama admitting that the rollout of Obamacare, for lack of a better word, “sucks,” and to give assurances that it would be fixed (Lord only knows how many more millions of taxpayer money will be needed, of course).

Then there’s the overly vague and subjective example of small business owner Mike Brey. Mr. Brey “believes” Obamacare will be helpful “next year.” What’s not said is whether Mr. Brey is simply speculating (or mesmerized by “hope and change”) or if he’s actually accomplished the rare feat of giving the government all of his private personal information, just to be able to compare prices.

Next we have Malik Hassan, who’s listed as a Prospective ACA Beneficiary. He’s signed up on the site and is “looking forward” to enrolling this fall. He made it through the electronic maze apparently and is now waiting to see his options. That’s right, he’s still waiting. Better get used to the waiting, Mr. Hassan.

The final example I’ll mention is small business owner, Ezra Salop. He’s 25 and is still under his parents’ plan, but is “looking forward” to enrolling. Wait until you see the prices next year, Ezra. You may wish you were 25 again.

Major contortions and distortions (aka: lies) are being spun by the Obama regime, futily attempting to to put lipstick on the Obamacare pig. Below is the full list of those used to stand behind Obama during his speech Monday as shining examples of how Obamacare is benefiting us all in so many various ways. By my count, only three of the thirteen have even registered (hence the designation as “registrant”) for the site. However, even among  two of these three “registrants,” it is not clear whether they’ve actually purchased coverage, subsidized or otherwise. Registering is not the same as purchasing.

Read the descriptions yourself from the White House website:

Janice Baker (Introducer), New ACA Registrant.

Janice Baker, a small business owner, was the first woman to enroll in the Delaware exchange. She and her husband are the owners of the Heavenly Hound Hotel, a boarding and grooming kennel for Dogs in Selbyville, DE. They have owned and operated it for 24 years. Prior to enrolling through the new Marketplaces, Baker had been turned down for individual insurance three times due to a minor pre-existing condition. On her new insurance plan, Baker is saving $150 a month.

Ginger Gutting, CVS Pharmacy Supervisor

Ginger Gutting is a pharmacist and current pharmacy supervisor for CVS in the Northern Virginia area. Ginger overseas many stores in the Washington Metro area. In this role, she has seen the impact that ACA has had on her customers and store pharmacists. Ginger has been a CVS colleague and pharmacist since 2002 and is a registered pharmacist in the state of Virginia.

Walt Rowen, Small Business Owner

Walt Rowen is the owner of the Susquehanna Glass Company, a small business in Columbia, Pennsylvania started by Rowen’s grandfather in 1910. The company, which has grown to 35 full-time employees, has benefited from the ACA’s Medical Loss Ratio provision which requires at least 80 percent of small groups’ premium dollars be spent on patient care instead of administrative costs. A few years ago Rowen was quoted a 130 percent increase to his premiums — this year his premiums increased by only 7 percent.

David Hall, New ACA Registrant

David Hall, a self-employed IT Consultant and Web Designer, signed up for health insurance through DC Health Link, the District of Columbia’s online health insurance marketplace, on October 1, 2013. Hall is an Air Force veteran who was discharged under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in 2002.

Jessica Ugalde, ACA Beneficiary

Due to the immediate benefits of the ACA, Jessica Ugalde was able to stay on her mother’s health insurance after school and receive treatment for a serious illness. Ugalde’s mother was relieved her daughter could receive coverage and Jessica is very grateful to the ACA for this benefit.

Mike Brey, Small Business Owner

Mike Brey is the owner of Hobby Works, a small business that has expanded to five locations throughout Maryland and Virginia since it opened in 1992. While Brey’s business has been successful, he feels that his ability to keep his workers feeling secure by providing health insurance coverage has eroded over time. The company health plan once cost $100 per person, most of which was covered by the company. Over the years the premium has tripled and his employees have seen their costs increase five times as they pay more of the premium and face a higher deductible. Brey believes that the Affordable Care Act was the first thing in years that gave him hope that this spiral of escalating costs and depreciating quality of coverage might finally end. Brey has said that “as an employer in Maryland with fewer than 50 full-time- equivalent employees, I’ll be able to use our state’s exchange next year to purchase coverage. This is huge.”

Malik Hassan, Prospective ACA Beneficiary

Malik Hassan works at a restaurant in Philadelphia. Hassan, who does not receive coverage through his employer, is looking forward to enrolling for health coverage this fall. He recently used Healthcare.gov to process his application and is waiting for the options for potential plans in Philadelphia.

Ezra Salop, Small Business Owner & ACA Beneficiary

Ezra Salop, 25 years old, runs his own catering business in the Washington, DC area. Salop is currently receiving insurance coverage through his parents’ plan and is looking forward to enrolling on the ACA exchanges so he can continue growing his small business.

Karmel Allison, Prospective ACA Beneficiary

Karmel Allison was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was nine years old. She has stayed on the same insurance ever since, despite constantly rising costs, for fear she would not be able to find a plan that would cover her due to her pre-existing condition. Allison recently began researching her options on CoveredCA and has publicly described her experience as finally feeling equal to others, including her young and healthy husband, when it comes to access to coverage.

Zohre Abolfazli, New ACA Registrant

Zohre Abolfazli has owned a small business outside of Nashville, Tennessee for almost twenty-five years. Even though she has been able to maintain her health insurance over the years, it has been a challenge to find affordable, comprehensive health insurance in the individual market place. Last night, Abolfalzi was able to register through HealthCare.gov and now plans to comparison shop for the best plan that meets her budget and needs.

Jasmine Jennings, ACA Beneficiary

Jasmine Jennings was diagnosed with thyroid cancer when she was in college. Due to the ACA, Jennings no longer has to worry about health insurance companies denying her coverage due to her preexisting condition. She is currently on her parents’ insurance plan, which has given her peace of mind as she settles into her career and finishes grad school. Without having to worry about how to pay for health insurance, Jennings has been able to accept a part-time curatorial fellowship and start a small business. She has said that “these educational and entrepreneurial experiences are enriching my life every day and without the ACA, I wouldn’t be able to do either.”

LaJuanna Russell, Small Business Owner

LaJuanna Russell is the owner of Business Management Associates, a consulting company in Alexandria, Virginia. Russell says she is proud to offer her employees health insurance but that it can be difficult for a small business. Russell believes that the ACA provides stability for her and her employees and is exploring what new coverage options will be available to her company under the exchanges.
