Don't be an Obamaton!

    What does Obamacare and a Georgia law stating “donkeys may not be kept in bathtubs” have in common?  40 percent of the population doesn’t know they are both the law of the land! 
    I read with incredulity a Kaiser Family Foundation poll released 2 weeks ago that 40 per cent of the population either doesn’t realize ObamaCare is law or think it has been repealed.  This is like the Duck Dynasty folks saying, “Gee, that income tax stuff, I didn’t realize it meant all of us had to pay taxes”.  So not only is this the most convoluted, confusing, and coercive law in recent history, but almost half of the good folks are not even aware the hammer is dropping.  Good luck in getting these Mensa candidates to fill out the necessary paperwork to get their ObamaCare.  Although I shouldn’t doubt their veracity and ingenuity as these are largely the same group of folks who managed to cop a free Obama phone.
    So just to recap, if you don’t get insurance through your employer, medicare, or medicaid you will have to purchase insurance (i.e. government freebe) through an exchange.  To do that you must fill out a form that until recently was 14 pages long.  Once the government hacks realized that most theoretical physicists had trouble filling out these forms, they “nimbly” consolidated the form to a mere 12 pages for those with a family of four.  A single person in perfect health can even escape with a 5 page form.  However, it’s still not exactly as simple as filling out your food stamp application as, for example, one question which asks for “the lowest cost plan that meets the minimum value standard offered only to the employee.”  Say what?  That’s like asking a chimp to calculate the quantum energy of a quark.  And those privacy fanatics will be overjoyed to know that a majority of the forms are devoted to tax return information and income verification.  Just another government data bank containing your personal information.  And remember Obamatons, this is a mandate not a suggestion.  You have to do it or be fined, made to watch “Ellen” reruns, and possibly given a embarrassing nickname.
    Here’s my take on the paperwork surrounding signing up for Obamassurance.  If you don’t even know it is the law of the land, then you probably will need a consultant to fill out the paperwork...and I am sure Uncle Sam will be happy to oblige.
