Seven Feet, Two Point Five Inches of Pigginess

Michelle Malkin has the blog post The Paper Skyscraper over on her blog to illustrate the ridiculousness of the the Affordable Healthcare Act ...so far. Twenty thousand pages, seven feet , two point 5 inches (7' 2.5") as it stands now with 828 pages added to this monstrosity last Friday.

The best comment about that, that I have read so far, was the question, "Yeah, but can it dunk?"

But wait, there's more.

Apparently, we were promised that getting healthcare through THE ACT would be a fairly simple process. I don't remember ever hearing that, but there are people who thought that it would be so. To them I say, "HahahahahahahahaahaHA!!!! When will you learn that NOTHING the government sticks it's nose into is EVER EVER EVER easy.

However, I digress.

Now, the newest information is that applying for all this "free" healthcare is going to be as simple as filing your tax return.

Bwhahahahahahahaha!

Suckers.....you people who fell for the idea of "free" healthcare are SUCKERS, I tell you.

FTA, " The government's draft application runs 15 pages for a three-person family. An outline of the online version has 21 steps, some with additional questions."

"Seven months before the Oct. 1 start of enrollment season for millions of uninsured Americans, the idea that getting health insurance could be as easy as shopping online at Amazon or Travelocity is starting to look like wishful thinking."

 

NOOOOOooooooo!!!! Really? Wishful thinking and government involvement?

"At least three major federal agencies, including the IRS, will scrutinize your application. (Goody, goody gumdrops!) Checking your identity, income and citizenship is supposed to happen in real time, if you apply online."

 

So the additional 15,000 IRS agents aren't going to be enough to scrutinize? Which other two major federal agencies are going to be checking out my application?

 

"That's just the first part of the process, which lets you know if you qualify for financial help. The government asks to see what you're making because Obama's Affordable Care Act is means-tested, with lower-income people getting the most generous help to pay premiums."

"Once you're finished with the money part, actually picking a health plan will require additional steps, plus a basic understanding of insurance jargon."

The Affordable Healthcare Act is going to be the stuff that just keeps on taking....and taking....and taking. Not only is our money less ours, so is our time, apparently.
