The Obamacare Train Wreck

The Obamacare Train pulled into the station this week. Just a few glitches on the bridge to a brighter healthcare future.

You know that tremendous decline in the unemployment rate over the last year? I bet you didn’t know the Feds and all the states hired hundreds of thousands of drones with your tax dollars over the last 8 months to convince millions of other drones to sign up for “free” healthcare, also paid for with your tax dollars. It appears our politician leaders haven’t been too forthcoming with how many call center drones and door to door Obamacare “consultants” were hired. But with the Feds admitting to at least 20,000 and every state hiring 5,000 to 10,000 Obamacare solicitors, the total hiring probably reached 400,000 or more.

Well guess what? April 1 has arrived. These drones are no longer needed. Today’s Challenger & Grey layoff press release sums up the situation:

The top job-cutting sector in March was health care, which announced plans to reduce payrolls by 5,768, bringing its year-to-date total to 10,984, which ranks fourth among all industries. “We continue to see downsizing in the health care sector, as hospitals adjust to lower Medicare reimbursements and cutbacks in Medicaid funding. There has also been a surge in job cuts among the workers hired to sign-up Americans for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. With the sign-up period ending on March 31, call centers around the country have been purging their payrolls of these temporary employees,” noted Challenger. 

The unemployment rate will continue to decline as these 400,000 drones will be able to leave the labor force because they now have free healthcare.

After reading this little blurb, the critical thinking region of my brain started to tingle. The Obamanites just dumped 7.1 million drones into the healthcare system but the healthcare industry is ramping up layoffs due to cuts in funding from the Federal government. That sounds very promising for our future care under Obamacare. It seems we have the train of trillions in added costs towards the deficit steaming towards the train of less options, less doctors, worse care, higher premiums, and government rationing. I’m sure it will end well.
