The crisis or bankrupt of the Health System in America:
The
Beginning Of The End For Obamacare: Largest US Health Insurer Exits Georgia,
Arkanasas. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 04/08/2016
Today the largest U.S. health insurer, UnitedHealth,
announced it has decided to pull the plug on two state Obamacare markets. Going
forward, UnitedHealth said it will no longer sell plans for next year in
Georgia and Arkansas, according to state insurance regulators. Tyler Mason, a
UnitedHealth spokesman, confirmed the exits and declined to say whether the
company would drop out of additional states.

You can't say UnitedHealth didn't warn us.
below is just a random sample of headlines covering just
the most recent tribulations of the "we have to pass it to find out what's
in it" Unaffordable Care Act:
- In Latest Obamacare Fiasco, Most Low-Income Workers Can't Afford "Affordable Care Act"
- The Stunning "Explanation" An Insurance Company Just Used To Boost Health Premiums By 60%

But the most surprising article we wrote was our
explanation from
last November explaining why "Your Health Insurance Premiums Are About To
Go Through The Roof" showing that even insurance companies have been
unable to earn a profit under Obamacare, as shown in the following chart:
UnitedHealth further said it suspended marketing its
individual exchange plans and is cutting or eliminating commissions for brokers
who sell the coverage.
Fast forward to
today, this largest U.S. health insurer, announced it has decided to pull the
plug on two state Obamacare markets.
Going forward, UnitedHealth said it will no longer sell
plans for next year in Georgia and Arkansas, according to state insurance
regulators. Tyler Mason, a UnitedHealth spokesman, confirmed the exits and
declined to say whether the company would drop out of additional states, Bloomberg
reported.
The reason for the
pull out is simple: many, if not most, insurers have found it difficult to turn
a profit in the new markets created by the Affordable Care Act, "where
individuals turned out to be more costly to care for than the companies
expected. UnitedHealth and Aetna Inc. both posted losses from the policies last
year, as did big Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in states like North
Carolina."
According to
Bloomberg, UnitedHealth’s decision to stop offering ACA plans next year means
that people who are currently enrolled with the insurer will have to choose
a new health insurance provider next year. And while UnitedHealth is the
biggest carrier in the United States, with about 42 million medical customers,
it has a smaller role in the ACA’s markets. The company had about 650,000 in
individual exchange-compliant policies as of Dec. 31.

GETTING STUPID ARGUMENTS TO START WW3 .. PATHETIC
..
If this was the work of the CIA, it was an extremely
sloppy and obvious hit job. On the other hand, if this was the work of
Putin for the purposes of blackmail, it’s one of the most ingenious chess
moves I’ve ever seen played on the global stage. If this theory is
correct, it’s the worse case scenario for American citizens. So if Putin is
behind this, and does have the goods on the U.S. elite, not only do we not
get rid of the these corrupt oligarchs, we now have to live with them in an
even more compromised state than they were before.

This conflict between government and liberty, brought to
a boiling point by the world’s biggest bankruptcy in history, has generated
the angry protests that have spontaneously broken out around the country - and
the world. The producers are rebelling and the recipients of largess are angry
and restless. The crisis demands an intellectual revolution. The choice
we now face: further steps toward authoritarianism or a renewed effort in
promoting the cause of liberty. There is no third option.

Bill Clinton spent more than 10 minutes confronting the

held up signs, including one that read:
"CLINTON Crime Bill Destroyed Our

MEDIA OF THE DAY Sanders
Says He Will ‘Certainly Support’ Hillary Clinton If She’s The Democratic
Nominee http://www.counterpunch.org/category/media-of-the-day/
[[ In a tape you will listen is clear that Sanders condition
his independence to the context, that is, if the Rep party split between
Trump-Cruz, that will be "a disaster" (to whom, is not clear). I could be interpreted : if the
GOP remain solid and Clinton win the nomination, he will support her. Whatever
be the context: does Sanders think that socialist will vote Hillary? .. Not way
.. If that happens, we will foster ABSTENTION. That is the only way to preserve
intact the org, the socialist Mov, the party. Listen this interview with Charlie Rose
..
(On @CharlieRoseShow tonight,
Bernie Sanders says he'll "certainly support" Hillary Clinton if she
is the nominee) Check VIDEO: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton_us_5706fbbde4b03a9e75d3fd93
[[So I prefer to take Sanders statement with Charlie Rose
as “Unconfirmed statement” .. even if Sanders said so, it does not depend on
him. .. We are the ones who are going to
confirm our destiny, not Sanders. I hope his statement in front of corporate
media is only Sanders tactic: not to face the bureaucratic oppositions of top union leaders
before election in NY .. Such opposition has delay Sanders’ to take total
control of the primaries inside the Dems party .. to Nader this labor bureaucracy
already betrayed Sanders and they can’t do more .. . Read Nader: Declaring autonomy from
DEMS party is a matter of time. I don’t think Sanders will endorse people’s vote and
aspirations to the representative of the
1% : Mrs Clinton. If he do it, Sanders will be the traitor and not only to the labor,
to everybody, specially the young people: the future of socialist REV. This is
why is very important to organize more
cells of the Democratic Revolution Party & helping the creation of People
Front. We should do that independent of Sanders will.]]

Here only extracts
..
Around a conference
table inside the large Washington headquarters of the AFL-CIO, a furious
exchange occurred between labor union presidents. .. According
to insiders, tempers flared when smaller unions challenged the
Hillary-endorsing big unions such as AFSCME (public employees), the American
Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association, the Service
Employees (SEIU) and the Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW). These large unions
came out for Clinton in late 2015, but in early 2016 before they sensed the
growing rank of workers’ preference backer, Bernie Sanders.
..
Few union leaders
allow a worker referendum to make the endorsement decisions. The 700,000-member
Communications Workers of America (CWA) does, and the result was a “decisive
endorsement of Sanders,” reported Rafael Navar, the union’s political director.
..
The volunteer Labor for Bernie grassroots drive is not just growing
rapidly but cutting across all union
categories and gaining support with non-union workers. There is a potentially massive pool of American workers
supporting Senator Sanders as he wins primary after primary, leading up to the April
19th contest in New York – the adopted state base for the
Clintons, who are backed by all their monied interests.
..
This unaffiliated
labor awakening bears watching, especially by the long-entrenched, affluent big
union leaders. First, Labor for Bernie is fomenting defections by local unions
defying their Hillary-endorsing national organizations. So far, over 80 of
these union locals have endorsed Bernie Sanders. .. Typical of this exodus is
Northern California Food and Commercial Workers Local 5, whose executive board
voted 30 to 2 for Sanders, reflecting the views of most of its 28,000 members.
It is the AFL-CIO’s practice of endorsing Democrats without
demanding before and insisting after the election that candidates champion
‘card check’, revision of trade treaties, repeal of anti-union labor laws and
stronger job safety regulation. The Democratic Party treats the mostly
shrinking labor unions as having nowhere else to go. And most union leaders
meekly oblige by their chronic submissiveness.
..
The man to watch is strategist and former labor union
insider Larry Cohen. He was for many years the president of the Communications
Workers of America (CWA) that has endorsed Sanders. He’s going all over the
country helping the Sanders campaign, urging major labor unions, still
undecided, like the Steel, Auto, Firefighters and Electrical Workers (IBEW) to
come out for Bernie.
..
But Mr. Cohen is looking beyond the elections to take the
energy from the Sanders campaign and politically mobilize tens of millions of
non-unionized workers behind a new Congress ..
..
Time is of the essence. When will workers again have such a
scandal-free, consistent labor champion as Bernie Sanders seriously going for
the Presidency inside the Democratic Party. Had Sanders had two more months
without this big union leaders opposition, his current momentum could have
allowed him to overtake Clinton by now.

FACTS THAT PROVE THINGS IN AMERICA ARE WORSE THAN THEY WERE SIX MONTHS AGO. Posted on April 7, 2016 by WashingtonsBlog . By Michael Snyder, the Economic Collapse Blog.
#1 U.S. factory orders have now declined
on a year over year basis for 16 months in a row. As Zero Hedge has noted, in the post-World
War II era this has never happened outside of a recession…
…
…
#3 It is being projected that corporate
earnings will be down 8.5 percent for the first quarter of
2016 compared to one year ago. This will be the fourth quarter in a row
that we have seen year over year declines, and the last time that happened was
during the last recession.
…
…
…
…
#7 The average rating on U.S. corporate
debt has fallen to “BB”, which is lower than it has been at any point since the last financial crisis.
…
…
#9 51 oil and gas drillers in North
America have filed for bankruptcy since the beginning of last year, and
according to CNN we could be on the verge of seeing
the biggest one yet…
…
#10 According to Challenger,
Gray & Christmas, job cut announcements by major firms in the United
States were up 32 percent during
the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015.
…
#11 Consumers
in the United States accumulated more new credit card debt during the 4th
quarter of 2015 than they did during the entire years of 2009, 2010 and 2011 combined.
…
#12 Existing
home sales in the U.S. were down 7.1 percent during the month of
February, and this was the biggest decline that we have witnessed in six years.
…
…
#14 The
Restaurant Performance Index in the U.S. recently dropped to the lowest level
that we have seen since 2008.
…
#15 Major
retailers all over the country are shutting down hundreds of stores as the
“retail apocalypse” accelerates.
…
#16 If you take
the number of working age Americans that are officially unemployed (8.1 million) and add that number to the number of
working age Americans that are considered to be “not in the labor force” (93.9 million), that gives us a grand total of 102 million working age Americans that
do not have a job right now
…
#17 Since
peaking during the 3rd quarter of 2014, U.S. exports of goods and services have been steadily declining.
This is something that we never see outside of a recession…
…
#18 The cost of
everything related to medical care just continues to skyrocket even though our
wages are stagnating. According to the Social Security Administration, 51
percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a
year, and yet the cost of medical care just hit a brand new all-time high…
…
#19 Our
government debt continues to spiral out of control. At this point it is
sitting at a staggering total of $19,218,516,838,306.52, but when Barack
Obama first entered the White House it was only 10.6 trillion dollars.
That means that our government has been stealing an average of more
than 100 million dollars an hour from future generations of Americans every
single hour of every single day since Barack Obama was inaugurated…
