Ohio Obamacare Co-op Fails



Obamacare is a colossal failure.  States that bought into this pie-in-the-sky scheme are finding out costs are unsustainable and citizens are left holding the bag.  Gov. John Kasich of Ohio bragged about his participation in this government controlled Petri dish only to find out the suckers who enrolled in this subsidized free-for-all are about to find out they’re screwed.  Here is an excerpt from the Hill.com:

The latest round of failures poses an even thornier problem than earlier cases because enrollees’ coverage is now being disrupted in the middle of the year. That can increase patients’ out of pocket costs and make it harder to keep the same doctors.

In Illinois, Oregon and Ohio, a combined total of about 92,000 people are being forced to find a new plan. A co-op in a fourth state, Connecticut, will last until the end of the year. 

My question is where are they going to go?  The federal government along with their state officials has destroyed its health insurance industry. 

Thank God, North Carolina’s General Assembly had the wisdom to refrain from participating in a scheme that was destined to fail.  Democrats wailed and bemoaned this lost opportunity to get “federal money” into state’s coffers believing there would be no consequences to our health care system.  Now look at what has happened to all those states that took the bait.  And what does the Obama administration have to say for this fiasco?  Sorry Charlie!

Ohio Votes for Grecian Formula




The Buckeye state repudiated Governor Kasich and the republican’s fiscally responsible budget that curbed the bargaining power of public employee unions. Yesterday, Ohio voters bypassed the legislature and voted via referendum. The end result is a union victory and an $8 billion budget shortfall:

“The governor and his legislative friends really overreached,” said Lee Saunders, secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. “All of labor was together on this. I think it’s a model for fights across the country.”

Democrats also claimed victory, framing the results as a rebuke to Republican lawmakers across the country after the GOP swept statehouses across the country in 2010. Ohio Democrats were badly beaten in that election.

Our founding fathers admitted states into the union on condition that they are a republican form of government; not a democracy. It looks like the citizens of Ohio have opted for the Grecian formula: out of control unions; a sense of entitlement, and financial ruin.
