Entertainer John Stewart who makes his bones making fun of the news of the day on the Comedy Channel took shots at the President and Congress for different aspects of the problem … a disastrous rollout for the program dubbed Obamacare – after 3 years of preparation.

Some of the funniest (or most horrifying) moments were excerpts of people trying to sign up for the program on their site.

I personally liked the chiding of the simplistic sound bite rhymes some of “our leaders” repeated, (slowly, for those of us operating at dim wattage) followed by Stewart’s sudden rendition of “Try a Little Tenderness”.

On the more serious side was this first person opinion piece that was picked up by some of the major talk radio shows Monday.

You Also Can’t Keep Your Doctor
I had great cancer doctors and health insurance. My plan was cancelled. Now I worry how long I’ll live.

Everyone now is clamoring about Affordable Care Act winners and losers. I am one of the losers.

My grievance is not political; all my energies are directed to enjoying life and staying alive, and I have no time for politics. For almost seven years I have fought and survived stage-4 gallbladder cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 2% after diagnosis. I am a determined fighter and extremely lucky. But this luck may have just run out: My affordable, lifesaving medical insurance policy has been canceled effective Dec. 31.

There have been a number of hilarious monologues among the late night comics regarding the debacle aka Obamacare. What makes this particularly delicious is that the “cool kids” the “smartest kids on the block” have been shown to be incompetent in the very thing they claimed was their expertise…dealing with technology.

Among its vast problems, the website disaster is the one making a direct impact on those the Obama administration most needs to make the plan work…young people. Those who are used to spending 10 seconds on a Smartphone to get anything from a trip to Europe to fresh sushi are not going to spend hours and hours on a non functional website to purchase a product they do not need.

Instead this augers toward the most desperate, the sickest people and those with minimal incomes who have not been insulated from the fallout of this ill conceived bit of legislation. Many if not most who have signed up are applying for Medicaid…free healthcare. That will go a long way to paying for Obamacare wont it .

The further irony is that everything that has gone wrong both with the website and with the unfortunate consequences were all clearly pointed out time after time after time. When Obama would claim you could keep your doctor or health plan …PERIOD…he was at best completely ignorant and at worst lying to push this bit of trash through Congress and get re elected to complete his task of destroying America.

Maybe a few of the sycophants are finally waking up. They’ve been lied, to, used, and tossed under the bus (who knew there was still room?).

BTW heard a doctor’s comment regarding Pelosi’s statement “We need to pass it to find out what’s in it…” Per the Doc “That sounds a lot like a stool sample…”
