More Obamacare fuckups

I wonder if people complained about the Civil Rights Act not abolishing racism less than a month after it was implemented.

Well... of course they did, but still.

“I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” —Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One -

“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”—LBJ

It's more telling when you get to the source of this and point out where the book gets sold.

Well alright I believe President Johnson said that, but that doesn't sound anything like LeBron James. Why would he use "they"? Is this a convoluted reference to your homosexual dichotomy? You know I appreciate a good convolution, but still.

Emerging Non Emergencies Reaching Emergency Levels
Hospital | AZ, USA | Extra Stupid, Family & Kids, Health & Body
(I work at the check-in counter for the ER. A patient comes in, dragging her very embarrassed teenage daughter behind her.)
Me: “Hi! How can I help you?”
Patient: “Yeah, I’m bringing in my daughter.”
Me: “And what brings you to the emergency room today, ma’am?”
Patient: “My daughter.”
Me: “I see. What is wrong with your daughter that brings you in tonight?”
Patient: “Her monthly is irregular.”
Me: “So, you want to bring her to the emergency room for irregular periods?”
Patient: “Duh!”
Me: “Have you taken her to her family doctor?”
Patient: “No!”
(As we’re not legally allowed to turn away any patient, I begin the registration.)
Patient: “And me, too.”
Me: “You want to check yourself in, too, for irregular periods?”
Patient: “No! God!”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am. What are we checking you in for?”
Patient: “Can’t you see it?!”
Me: “Ma’am?”
Patient: “My face!”
(She shoves her face up close to mine.)
Me: “Ma’am, I’m sorry but you’ll need to be a little more specific.”
Patient: “I got ‘the zits’!”
(Her face looks fine. I see one blemish that doesn’t even look like a zit.)
Me: “So, you came to the… emergency room… for adult acne?”
Patient: “YES! God, what are you, stupid?”
Me: “And have you seen your doctor about this?”
Patient: “No! This is my doctor!”
Me: “Ma’am, this is the emergency room. We treat emergencies. We are not your regular doctor.”
Patient: “Yes, you are. FIX IT!”

Perfect (anecdotal) example of the chronic abuse of the ER system and a correlation with steadily increasing healthcare costs as the behavior become the norm.

I have to agree with Atlanteax: thank God Obama is forcing people to get insurance so they'll stop cluttering up the ER with these issues! After all, they time-profit by going to a doctor instead and time-people respond to time-incentives... in time.

thank God Obama

Stop being redundant.

Hoho!

Report a life change will be available on 11/15/2013. Come back on that date to report your change.

This used to say 10/15/2013 but I guess allowing people to edit their answers is a very complicated and time consuming process so they need another month to get it right.

Yes folks! If you accidentally ticked off Single instead of Married or one child instead of two children or added an extra zero to your income by mistake you can't change any of that for another month.

Come at me Latrinsorm, I dare ya.

This is assuming that the system will even be ABLE to enroll people by 11/15/2013 on a regular basis.
