Why are the Dems going to massacred in the November election? Because Obamacare is now a reality.

Back in 2010 the people that rebelled against Obamacare and voted in a Republican House were Tea Partiers, smart people that knew that Obamacare could never live up to its billing of keeping your doctor, enrolling the uninsured, and lowering insurance premiums. Because of economics. Because of Hayek.

In other words, these were people that knew, from theory, that a great big complicated government redistribution program like Obamacare would never work.

It's stupefyingly obvious that the Republicans are going to win the Senate in November.
Anyone who argues otherwise is going to look like a fool in November.

Posted that in a more positive spot today on this insanity board but it fit here too so... Sorry for the chart repetition.

Wow, you were actually able to post a chart. What's going on, are the sockpuppet algorithms getting better?

Your chart says more about a parabolic stock movement brought on by new technology, like RCA in the 20s, biotech in its intro years, the entire dot.com era... Since you are not much of a contributor to technical analysis here and your fundamental analysis is so tied to an ideological bias as to be worthless, you probably can't fathom that a parabolic stock run is a "buy-the-dream-sell-the-reality" move (see a long-term Yahoo chart, or a MSFT chart for that matter), and obviously solar power has had its dream phase when it was just an idea and had the usual shake-out, but now is now and what matters now is the reality that it is an industry, and one likely with ever increasing success (see an AMZN chart or a WMT chart for that matter for examples of this). So for the more than a year, this sector has been the leader in the entire market, the number-one most lucrative individual sector in the market (and, FYI, I've been posting that TA all along).

In meantime, without the congenial look-the-other-way Bush boys in office, poison producers like the one on the chart below are in a industry that is at worst flat-lining and, once they no longer receive implicit public subsidies and have to pay the actual SOCIAL COSTS for their products in the marketplace, they will, at best, cease to exist, taking their last foolish shareholders' equity into to their dirty dust bins with them.

An "even better" seven years, did you say?

If Obamacare is really so wonderful...
why does the president keep delaying it's total implementation until AFTER THE ELECTIONS?

I'm eagerly waiting a reply from the shills.

In fact the Obama tax has already begun:

“As a self-employed individual, generally you are required to file an annual return and pay estimated tax quarterly,” the IRS website reads.
So, when they file and pay those 2014 first quarter taxes, such individuals have to pay the Obamacare Individual Mandate tax if they opted to not have health insurance.
The IRS form (1040-ES) for estimating quarterly taxes specifically recommends adding the mandate penalty to line 12 for "other taxes" -- to pay before the first quarterly deadline of April 15.
("It's not a tax")

“It is true that thousands of small businesses will be forced to pay Obamacare taxes quarterly in 2014,” a Senate Budget Committee aide said Friday afternoon.

But once again, the liars are found in the White House and it's paid shills in the puppet press:

‘Liberty Tax’: White House, Media Attack

Government Command and Control "EQUALITY": EVERYONE IS EQUALLY POOR AND MISERABLE.
(Except the elites.)

Command and Control Health Care in the REAL WORLD:

Cuban doctors get a raise -- to $67 a month... AP

"I'm going to buy a toy"

At the high end, doctors with two specialties will see their salary go from the equivalent of $26 a month to $67, while an entry-level nurse will make $25, up from $13.

"It continues to be a salary that means very little because everything is very expensive," said Laura Vazquez, a 38-year-old pathologist.

"This is very good news that makes me tremendously happy. ... With my first paycheck I'm going to buy a toy for my youngest grandson, who's 3," said Soraida Pina, a 62-year-old nurse. "This will open new doors for me."

That includes an estimated 30,000 in Venezuela, which sends Cuba some 92,000 barrels of oil a day, with a total value of about $3.2 billion a year.
Cuba has not made public how much it pays doctors on foreign missions, though it is believed to be a small fraction of what it collects from the nations where they serve.

Some doctors defect while abroad, though there are no official statistics on how many.

(Read more: Cubans fret as government prepares currency unification)
Cuba is laying plans to move to a single currency, a reform that many feel is one of the toughest challenges facing President Raul Castro as he tries to kick-start the Communist country's moribund economy.
The experts admit they are not sure how the government will proceed, nor how it will keep Castro's promise not to create further hardship for Cuba's 11.2 million inhabitants who worry that the little money they have will be devalued directly or through inflation when unification occurs.
Vidal believes the process of unification has begun with the devaluation of the official one peso to the dollar or CUC exchange rate.
He says the government is currently testing a 900 percent devaluation with a number of companies, trading on average 10 pesos for a CUC or dollar.

(So in reality, maybe the doctors are not actually going to see a raise in buying power.
Maybe it's just a bribe to tempt them to not defect to other countries.)

How Drudge [and Other Obamacare Victims] Can Escape the 'Liberty Tax'...

Buried in Section 1501 on page 148 of the so-called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is an exemption from the individual mandate for a “health care sharing ministry,” a group whose members “share a common set of ethical or religious beliefs and share medical expenses among members in accordance with those beliefs.” For any member of such group, the law says, “No penalty shall be imposed.”
Health care ministries have been around since the 1990s, but they have grown by leaps and bounds since Obamacare passed and especially since the disastrous launch of the exchanges last fall.
“Since the launch of HealthCare.gov on Oct. 1, membership at each of the ministries has exploded, with nearly 30,000 new enrollees — more than the number of people who selected a plan through Obamacare in 24 states.”

The four health-care sharing ministries are:

• Christian Healthcare Ministries, www.chministries.org
• Liberty HealthShare, www.libertyhealthshare.org
• Medi-Share, www.mychristiancare.org
• Samaritan Ministries, www.samaritanministries.org

Insurer Says 15-20% Aren't Paying Their Obamacare Premiums...

Well here's the latest horror story.
If you didn't get in under Obama's many cut-off dates and red lines in the sand, you likely will not be able to get any health insurance until 2015!

Latest surprise: Most won't be able to buy insurance until end of year...
"It's all closed down. You cannot buy a policy that is a qualified policy for the purpose of the ACA (the Affordable Care Act) until next year on January 1," says John DiVito, president of Flexbenefit which has 2,500 brokers.
“In all likelihood," says Laszewski, "we've only signed up somewhere between one in five and one in seven people who were uninsured prior to the start of ObamaCare."

The reason sales of health insurance were crammed into short enrollment periods was so insurance companies would have some certainty about who would be in the risk pool, allowing them to set their rates accordingly.
Goodman explains, "they fear that the only people who will try to buy are people who are sick, and they are going to be expensive. So it’s built into the screwy logic of the whole ObamaCare system."

That means that with few exceptions, tens of millions of people will be locked out of the health insurance market for the rest of this year.
13 million subsidy-eligible people have not yet signed up for health insurance.

1,000 Doctors Erroneously Placed On CA Exchange!...

I know supporters of single payer government health care will call these 1,000 doctors all lairs.
However my wife had the same experience.
She found that many of the doctors listed in our exchange said they were never were supposed to be on the list and are not taking new patients.
She also was not able to keep her doctor.
There is indeed a lot of lying going on, but it's by the government, not the victims.

Additionally she was warned by both the doctors and Blue Cross to be very careful about verifying which doctors and which hospitals are on the program.
The insurance agent said they just had a new Obamacare patient who went to the wrong hospital and now has a $25,000 bill which she will must pay out of pocket!
He said there is so much confusion with the multitude of government regulations and the constant changes being made.

But maybe they are all liars.

Obama to bail out health insurance companies!
Why? The young and healthy have refused to support this scheme, thus skyrocketing rate increase notices were set to be sent out just days before the 2014 elections.
Once again BILLIONS in taxpayer money will be stolen to save a political party and enrich the supporters of politician's failed policies.
Meanwhile sick veterans in need of health care are told to go away and die.

The Obama administration has quietly adjusted key provisions of its signature healthcare law to potentially make billions of additional taxpayer dollars available to the insurance industry if companies providing coverage through the Affordable Care Act lose money.
The move was buried in hundreds of pages of new regulations issued late last week. It comes as part of an intensive administration effort to hold down premium increases for next year, a top priority for the White House as the rates will be announced ahead of this fall's congressional elections.
