The slide continues as more and more people are treated to the awful reality of Obamacare.....assuming they can even get in and find out how expensive it is. All the while he continues to lie, lie, lie and the American people, except the 20% that are self described liberals or progressives....affectionately known as left wing nuts to me, can see through his pathetic attempts at obfuscating the truth. Does make on wonder about the intelligence.....or lack thereof.....of half that 40% that approve of this guy.

And now the number of hospitals that won't take people on Obamacare is growing rapidly and why , you ask? Simple explanation, if you fail to pay your premium you are covered for three months although the insurer doesn't have to pay any charges for months 2 and 3 so the doctor and the hospital take it in the shorts and won't even know it until the claims are filed. Current insurance cancels after 1 month and pays claims for that month. Doctors are going to run away from this as well.

Oh and by the way, I am anxiously waiting for the numbers that signup for insurance on healthcare.gov that are currently being hidden. I am betting that pathetically few are signing up for insurance and the majority are using it to sign up for Medicaid. Given the awful economy brought on us by TOTUS, it is no wonder there is so much demand for free stuff....they can't hide the truth forever. Time for a FOIA request and then a lawsuit to force them to tell the truth.

My daughter asked a good question recently. Someone reported a poll with various results and she asked "who are they polling? I have never been polled". Any idea the method of participant selection? All phone calling? Do they use cell phone lists to be sure and cover LIVs?

Methods for data collection vary and all have their own techniques for the analysis with the data. The key to the validity of the results have to do with selecting the correct sample population that actually mimics the electorate. There are lots of ways to do this and we always find out after the fact who guessed right as to who actually shows up. But suffice it to say they allegedly attempt to adjust the results to reflect actual registered voter or likely voter roles. So if they assume that 40% will be Republicans, 40% Democrats and 20% Independents then they adjust the numbers they get to get it to match. A lot of judgement and manipulation for sure.
