Exceptional Failed State: Obama Care creates crisis for Idaho! Insurance companies claim they’ve been blocked out by Your Health Idaho!

28 October 2013 (14:43 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/06 Aban 1391/24 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“At the rate we’re signing up people right now, we’re not going to be able to pay for lunch next year! I’ve got clients that are just super upset that they have to basically divulge almost everything in their entire life before they can get to the shop.”-Tom Shores, Your Health Idaho exchange board member

The Associated Press (AP) has revealed that Obama Care is mandating that the government of Idaho sign up a minimum of 40-thousand people by the 2014 deadlines.  AP says that’s mathematically impossible, even if 5-thousand Gem Staters sign up every month!

At this point only 100 Idahoans (supposedly) have made it through the joke of a sign up process to get Obama Care insurance!  Back on 08 October, Boise newspaper, The Spokesman Review, declared Your Health Idaho a success:“Delays continue to frustrate users of Idaho’s new health insurance exchange, but the program is accomplishing goals….” 

Here’s a major problem; even though Idaho runs their own insurance exchange, people being forced to get insurance they can’t afford must still go through the failed federal healthcare.gov data hub to register!

But wait, there’s more!  Major health insurer, Blue Cross of Idaho, claims the corrupt board members of Your Health Idaho have blocked Blue Cross, and other insurance companies, from taking part in any discussions to fix the exchange problems: “It would seem to me, if we’re going to move forward here, we’re going to have to stop being in silos and start collaborating.”-Zelda Geyer-Sylvia, Blue Cross of Idaho, and also a member of the corrupt Your Health Idaho board

Blue Cross is one of at least four insurance companies that are bucking the Obama Care trend by publishing their new rates on their own websites, so Idahoans don’t have to sign up through Obama Care to see what they might have to pay.  By the way people, anybody could have done the same thing prior to Obama Care, you know, shop around for cheap insurance (it’s just that there isn’t any for those whose incomes are too high, even with Obama Care)!

In Boise, the Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center is trying to help out by offering free Obama Care sign up help.  They warned the process could take up to two hours.

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security……..That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013

Exceptional Failed State: U.S. job losses & store closings 10-12 August 2013. Veteran run military contractor stealing bombs from National Guard? Idaho loses 1500 jobs in one day? More health care cuts blamed on the Federales!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs.

AOL (American On [Off ?] Line) announced they are selling off 400 Patch sites!  This after announcing they will layoff as many as 500 Patch Editors!

California: In Alameda County, the Almeda Health System laid off at least 57 employees at two hospitals, this as AHS is actually adding two more hospitals to its inventory. One of those hospitals was donated by a non-profit health care group (probably done in by Obama Care).  Hospital officials say the layoffs are their attempt to comply with Obama Care!  In Long Beach, the Christian Saint Mary Medical Center laid off 86 employees.  In Redwood City, Perseid Therapeutics ended operations.  59 people unemployed. It’s the result of a takeover by Astellas.  In San Jose, IBM laid off 203 people!  The layoffs were part of IBM’s elimination of 3-thousand jobs World wide!

Florida: In Tampa, Too Big to Jail JP Morgan Chase lays off another 208 people!  That’s on top of the 435 cuts announced in June. The evil bank officials admitted that the home mortgage disaster has reached a point where it’s not worth it for banks to continue stealing people’s homes, so they’re now going after their own employees!

Georgia: In Tucker, Park Pet Retreat shut down. The owner of the doggie daycare center blames a suck ass investor:“I am so very sorry to tell you that the Investor that was brought to me and led me on for a month has backed away from the deal.”   But, apparently some good news; it seems Rita MacCallon has such loyal customers that she’s opened a new doggie daycare under the title Rita’s Pet Retreat.

Idaho: In Boise, Micron Technologies (the World’s 2nd largest DRAM maker) announced it will fire 1500 employees!  It’s the result of Micron taking over Japanese competitor Elpida.  Micron officials say the layoffs will be spread around the World, but a Boise financial consultant, Dave Pesto, said “It appears to be pretty heavy here.”  Micron laid off 2-thousand people in Boise back in 2009!

Illinois: In Chicago, Career Education Corporation laid off another 480 people!  That’s on top of the 900 people laid off since last November!  The company has lost more than a hundred million dollars since last year!

Kansas: Wichita City warned of layoffs.  If city revenues are down, as is expected, they want to layoff 13 employees.

Louisiana: Explo Systems bankrupt, company officials in prison.  They are $3 million in debt, and were even served with an eviction notice by the Army National Guard.  The company was supposed to be disarming and destroying out of date munitions for the Louisiana National Guard.   At least six employees were charged with unlawful storage of explosives, reckless storage of explosives, failure to obtain magazine license, failure to properly mark explosive material,  failure to keep accurate inventory and conspiracy.

New York: In Buffalo, yet another non-profit health care provider, Phoenix Frontier, bankrupt because of the federal government.  The IRS claims the disabilities and mental health service provider failed to pay taxes.  In Levittown, magic Shop closed (the store sign actually has magic spelled with lower case m).

North Carolina: The Agricultural and Technical State University laid off at least 50 employees.  The University of North Carolina at Greensboro laid off an undisclosed amount of employees.  In both cases it’s blamed on state funding cuts, and declining student enrollment.  In Greensboro, Cafe Carolina closed down. The owner blames the suck ass economy: “We really wished, we had the ability to keep it going, but under the current conditions we just can’t.”-Ron Hines

Texas: In Waco, Southern Foods Group ended operations.  150 employees let go!

Vermont: Wood burning stove maker, Vermont Castings, laid off 100 employees! Other layoffs took place in Kentucky and Mexico. The company was taken over by its own management, who decided to slash and burn in the name of consolidation.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

Exceptional Failed State: National Guard whistleblower reveals Martial Law plans in FEMA Region 1 within U.S.!

23 October 2013 (14:37 UTC-07 Tango)/18 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/01 Aban 1391/19 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“It’s scaring the shit out of us up here!”-unnamed FEMA Region I active duty National Guard NCO commenting on take over by DHS

An active duty National Guard NCO, in FEMA Region I (one), reported during an unsolicited (other than Alex Jones asking for the audience to call in) phone call to Infowars.com that National Guard unit commanders are refusing to support the Bill of Rights, and Constitution.  Some are actually tearing down bulletin board postings of the Bill of Rights inside some armories.

The NCO said at least seven armories in his unnamed state had Bill of Rights, Constitution and military Oath of Allegiances torn down by higher ups.

Active duty Guard members complained to their JAG (Judge Advocate General).  JAG told concerned NCOs there’s no legal justification for the removal of the Bill of Rights, Constitution or Oath of Allegiance.

Active duty National Guard personnel have been told that they are now under direct control of Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

DHS is testing Guard members to see who will support martial law.  I’ve seen something similar during the 1990s, as a member of California and then Idaho National Guards, under the Clinton admin.

In 2003 (it might’ave been 2002), a retiring Idaho National Guard JAG officer (ex Regular Navy JAG, who said he switch to state run Army NG because USN was being prepped for martial law action) it was gave his last annual legal briefing to Bravo Company, 2nd of the 116th Armored Cavalry (please pronounce correctly, it’s not “calvary”. The 116th armored CAV is now known as 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team).  He adamantly stated that our state leaders sold out our National Guard to the federales, in exchange for increased federal funding.  He warned that the federal takeover was not for the arbitrary use of Guard personnel in foreign wars, without getting the governor’s approval, but for use on U.S. citizens under martial Law!

The retiring JAG officer also warned that the federales (pronounced the Spanish way) were in the processing of forcing states to give up their own particular Army National Guard UCMJs and adopting the federal active (Regular) Army UCMJ.

We had Pentagon insiders who warned us that the Bush admin invasion of Iraq was a done deal a full year before the invasion.  They also warned us that Idaho Guard was scheduled for deployment to Iraq, before the Bush admin invaded Iraq!   I bad mouthed Bush in a unit formation, as acting platoon sergeant, which could have been the reason they demoted me from E6 to E5, then refused to let me re-enlist when my enlistment ended in November 2003.  My Honorable Discharge papers, which were not sent to me until mid-2004, said I was “FLAGGED FOR APFT”, despite having the third highest APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) score in my unit in 2003!  In my late 30s I was out push uping and out sit uping guys right out of Army Basic Training!

According to the FEMA Region I Guard member, DHS has issued a “mission change” for expected “gang insurrections” within Federal Emergency Management Agency Region I.  The info and procedures discused by the active duty Guard member, who called into Infowars.com, convinced me he was legitimate.

FEMA Region I is Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut.  (Idaho is FEMA Region X [ten]. Note that FEMA uses Roman/British empire numerals)

Exceptional Failed State: Red State insurance agents sentenced for massive fraud in Mormon dominated east Idaho!

23 October 2013 (19:47 UTC-07 Tango 22 October 2013)/18 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/01 Aban 1391/19 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

A father and son insurance brokerage, The Legacy Network, in LDS dominated Rexburg, Idaho, was the center of a massive health/life insurance scam.  Adrian Rand Robison and Adrian Russell Robison were just sentenced for their crimes, after pleading guilty back in June.

They were accused of falsifying tax filings and failing to rebate more than $400-thousand USD to their “high net-worth” elitist Mormon clients.

Adrian Rand Robison was sentenced to four months in prison, and to pay $1.3 million in restitution, plus 18 months of supervised release with eight months of home detention, and fined $20-thousand.

Adrian Russell Robison was sentenced to four months in prison plus 12 months of supervised release, the first eight months on home detention, fined $10-thousand, and ordered to pay the IRS $270,631.

Exceptional Failed State: Red State Idaho joins Obama Care insurance exchange corruption! IT company owner paid $180 per hour, with governor’s approval!

23 October 2013 (19:24 UTC-07 Tango 22 October 2013)/18 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/01 Aban 1391/19 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

Idaho’s Your Health Idaho Obama Care false flag insurance exchange was outed by state legislators.

Your Health Idaho executive director, Amy Dowd, revealed she made a no bid contract with an unpaid board member, Frank Chan.  Under the deal Chan’s company, Applied Computing, would have been paid $180 USD per hour as a Obama Care enrollment consultant!  State lawmakers were outraged!

By the way, Idaho’s Red State Right to Work (you over) elitist governor Butch Otter appointed Chan to the board of the Your Health Idaho at the beginning of the year (there are an amazing 19 people on Idaho’s Obama Care board).  Dowd claims that Otter approved of the $180 per hour contract with Chan.  State representative Kelley Packer, from McCammon, said the first they heard about the deal was on 17 October, which is when Your Health Idaho actually published the deal on their website.

Chan founded Applied Computing in 1994.  He already has contracts with Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

Frank Chan canceled the Your Health Idaho deal the day after state politicians expressed their rage.  The no-bid deal could have made Chan $375-thousand!  Supposedly Idaho law says any government contract over $25-thousand must be done competitively, by bids.  Now, Your Health Idaho must get state approval for any contract over $18-thousand.

More Economic Decline: Idaho’s Coldwater Creek up for sale! Looking for “Strategic Alternatives”! 30% drop in stock prices! Loses $22 million!

22 October 2013 (12:28 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/30 Mehr 1391/18 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

Failing women’s clothing retailer, Coldwater Creek, is now finally up for sale as part of the company’s efforts to explore strategic alternatives.  Company officials clarified that just ’cause Coldwater Creek is up for sale doesn’t mean it will be sold.  The Board of Directors are just trying to make their greedy and impatient investors happy: “As a result of an increasingly challenging retail environment, we are continuing to take the necessary steps towards improving our financial position as well as our long-term prospects as a more competitive and successful company. In that regard, we will continue to concentrate on maximizing shareholder value…..”-Jill Dean, President & CEO

Apparently the announcement was not good enough for said investors, as the very next day the price of Coldwater Creek stocks dropped by 30%!  (on 15 October stocks were trading for 88 cents)

In September, Coldwater Creek reported yet another quarterly crash in sales.  A net loss of $22.1 million USD!  Compare that to the same time last year, when they lost $18.8 million.

The company shouldn’t be put up for sale, it should be put out of its misery!

Exceptional Failed State: U.S. job losses & store closings 08 August 2013. Evil banks give up on stealing people’s homes, turn to laying off their own employees! More proof the layoffs will continue for years to come! More proof Obama Care is trying to kill you!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs:

AOL (American On [Off ?] Line) announced more layoffs, this time as many as 500 Patch Editors!

The biggest dairy producer in the United States, Texas based Dean Foods, announced they are closing as many as 12 dairies by mid 2014.  They blame increased competition and declining sales, but that sounds far fetched for a company accused of being a monopoly!   Dean Foods also operations in Belgium, France, United Kingdom and Netherlands.  Dean Foods was taken over by Suiza Foods (the original Suiza Dairy is in Puerto Rico).  Suiza then changed their name to Dean Foods and began taking over dairies throughout the United States.  In 2010 the attorney generals of Wisconsin and Michigan charged Dean Foods with creating a monopoly.  In 2011 a law suit accused Dean Foods of falsifying ingredients on Horizon milk labeled as organic.  In 2012, it was revealed that Dean Foods was behind a California proposition that would have allowed companies to avoid disclosing to consumers if their food products contained GMO ingredients.  Reports say Dean Foods owns operations in the following U.S. states: Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin.  Suiza/Dean Foods’ biggest client is Walmart.

Colorado: Legal drug pusher, Array Biopharma, laid off about 50 people.  It’s because a deal with Amgen, to market their new drug to treat type 2 diabetes, fell through.  Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains closed two health centers.  Officials blame it on ten years of no public funding.

Florida: The Florida Virtual School laid off 802 online teachers!!!  It’s blamed on a 32% decline in student enrollment, compared to last year.  I’ve asked this before; where are all the students going? (leaving the country?)

Indiana: Purdue University laid off seven faculty members at its Calumet campus.  12 teachers were forced to retire early.  Four assistant professors have been warned that this school year is their last year of employment.  Two assistant professors were told that they will be laid off in 2015.  School officials blamed a crash in students signing up for core classes, which is a sign that people are realizing that higher education does not result in finding good paying jobs that can help them payoff their student loans.

Missouri: In Affton, Red Racks Thrift Store closed down.  The owner would not respond to questions from local news media.

New York: In DeWitt, the privately funded Manlius Pebble Hill school laid off 12 employees.  According to reports, school officials intentionally decided to reduce student enrollment by 40, thus justifying the layoffs.

North Carolina: WakeMed closed down two nursing homes. 99 jobs lost.  Another 14 jobs are being outsourced.  Company officials stated they’ve always relied on Medicare payments, never making a profit, but now Obama Care is the straw that’s breaking their back: “We have always lost money in the tens of millions, and it has gotten worse over time, these other financial cuts to the healthcare environment and the healthcare reimbursement structure right now, we can no longer afford to sustain those kinds of losses.”-Elaine Rohlik

Ohio: FirstEnergy laid off 250 people!  The electric power company is also reducing health care benefits to employees.  The company is changing its retirement program for employees.  Company officials blame it on increasing government environmental regulations, and declining revenues.

Oregon: In Coos Bay, a couple of weeks after Sears Holdings announced they will close the Kmart, local news media revealed the store was averaging $4 million USD in sales every year.  At the end of July, greedy Sears Holdings officials had stated they were closing the store because it was not making enough money!

Pennsylvania: In Upper Saint Clair, Too Big to Jail Bank of America laid off 209 employees!  The evil bank officials admitted that the home mortgage disaster has reached a point where it’s not worth it for banks to continue stealing people’s homes!

South Carolina: Too Big to Jail JP Morgan Chase laying off 450 people between now and mid 2014.  The evil bank officials admitted that the home mortgage disaster has reached a point where it’s not worth it for banks to continue stealing people’s homes!

Tennessee: In Nashville, public relations company, Katcher Vaughn & Bailey, ceased to exist.  The problem was that most of their clients are in the failing health care industry.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

Martial Law U.S.A.: Homeland Security behind False Flag earthquake drill in Idaho? Real quake hits! International connection! Mystery power outages!

18 October 2013 (20:40 UTC-07 Tango 17 October 2013)/13 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/26 Mehr 1391/14 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

The Gem State of Idaho held its largest earthquake drill ever.  Did you hear about it?  I live in the Gem State and it was news to me.

It’s called The Great Idaho ShakeOut.  It took place at 10:17 hours on 17 October 2013.  Coincidentally a 3.6 quake hit northern Utah, along the same fault line that runs through eastern Idaho on up to the supervolcano Yellowstone, at 10:19 hours!

It is true that most quakes in Idaho take place in the eastern part of the state.  But suddenly, almost out-o-the blue it’s a major concern of the government?

If you go to The Great Idaho ShakeOut website it looks like the “annual” drill is being pushed by state agencies, but the actual instigators are the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency  and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.  They have drills for Idaho already planned for 2014 and 2015.  The website claims it was school officials who chose to hold the drill in the morning on a school day.

Local TV news reports showed kindergarteners being led out of school with their wrists tied to ropes!!!  The ShakeOut website stated that at 10:17 hours they wanted everybody in Idaho to stop what they were doing and “Drop, Cover, and Hold On [fetal position?]……and stay in this position for at least 60 seconds.“!

Reports claim between 70-thousand and 92-thousand Idahoans took part in the drill.  Small print on the website also says “You can hold your drill at any time within 2 weeks of October 17.”  Does this imply that if you conduct a quake drill outside that time period you could be arrested?

Turns out the Great ShakeOut drills are conducted all across the U.S. and even in other countries.  That’s right, FEMA and other federal agencies are conducting quake drills in Japan, Italy, New Zealand, Canada and “other countries”.   Your tax dollars at work.

At about 15:30 hours power was lost to a large area.  Idaho Power reported the outage affected the western half of the city of Chubbuck, west to the American Falls reservoir 23 miles away.  The cause was unknown.

Power came back on for me at 17:30 hours, but at 17:51 hours Idaho Power reported that power was still out in parts of Chubbuck, and they were sending crews back out to find out why.  Cause of outage still unknown.

By 20:00 hours Idaho Power reported “no outages”.  No explanation for the outage, and so far nothing mentioned by local news media.  Mmmm, on the same day as the FEMA sponsored earthquake drill.

Martial Law U.S.A.: TSA security is not targeting terrorists! Fake exemptions expanded for frequent flyers!

17 October 2013 (13:42 UTC-07 Tango)/12 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/25 Mehr 1391/13 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“If another 9/11 happens, you will not recognize this country.”-Andrew Jurchenko, retired U.S. Army Colonel, commenting on expanding TSA powers

Out of Arizona: “America’s Friendliest Airport” is now America’s Martial Law Airport.

The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has registered numerous complaints against gestapo Transportation Security Administration agents, complaints coming from people as old as 92 years who said they were humiliated and terrorized.  Apparently most of those targeted are disabled people with fake body parts.

TSA announced an expansion of their privileged Trusted Traveler Program, which supposedly allows club members to skip martial law searches!  The TTP is being expanded to 350 airports in 2014.

A civil rights activist warned that just because your a TTP member doesn’t mean Big Brother/Sister isn’t watching you: “If you sign up, you’ll want to keep your nose clean for the rest of your life. Because that’s how long the FBI will keep your fingerprints.”-Gregory Nojeim, Center for Democracy and Technology

Infowars/Prison Planet has discovered that Public Access to Court Electronic Records, PACER.gov, has federal court documents that reveale that the country has been and still is under martial law: “…as a result of an ‘order’ of the TSA and that Congress had stripped the district courts of jurisdiction…” 

The court documents show that the TSA has been taking baby steps to increased use of martial law prison tactics: “….in 2002, a limited pat-down procedure was in place for secondary screening. This procedure…..did not include any touching of the ‘sensitive areas’ of travelers……..In September 2004….the TSA modified the pat-down procedure to include touching the breasts of female travelers……in 2010, the TSA discontinued all use of hand-held metal detectors, for reasons that have never been explained.”

TSA uses full body pat downs as well as electromagnetic nude body scanners.  Documents show TSA employees continually violate their own rules of how full body pat downs are conducted. It is also pointed out that Germany refused to adopt the U.S. TSA nude body scanner system, due to 35% failure rate.  France refused due to high failure rate of system.

TSA had access to three other search systems, but capriciously choose the nude body scanners.  The TSA rejected the use of 95% effective, and far cheaper, bomb sniffing dogs!  The TSA is actually receiving taxpayer funding for bomb sniffing dogs!

The second rejected search device was the ETP machines, which detected chemicals that could be used for explosives, although the same chemicals can be found in sausages.   TSA discontinued the EPT use because of operational costs, not lack of effectiveness.  I can attest to the EPT effectiveness because sausages bought in Idaho and heading to California via the Pocatello Airport, popped up as bombs on the EPT.  Sausages contain nitrates, they were allowed to fly on to California.

TSA also has another chemical detector, ETD.  But court documents show they are considered secondary, backup systems, and are rarely used, even though they are effective and cheaper than both EPT and nude body scanners.

The documents point out that not once has the TSA caught a true terrorist.

Even TSA’s own documentation showed there is no justification to their martial law tactics: “….explosives brought on board airplanes…..happened outside of the United States…..even on the global scale, including Middle Eastern countries with extreme civil unrest and a high prevalence of improvised explosive devices….explosives on airplanes are extremely rare……the TSA analyzed hijackings in 2007, and found 7 hijacking incidents across the globe, but none of them involved actual explosive devices.”

The court documents then point out “The hijackers on 9/11 had no explosives; only knives………This begs the question, then, of what evidence the government possesses to rationalize that we should be so afraid of non-metallic explosives being brought aboard flights departing from the U.S. that we must sacrifice our civil liberties. The answer: there is none.”

The only conclusion we can come to is that the dictatorial elites of the United States used the threat of terrorism as a False Flag to impose martial law and turn you into slaves!

You need to read the entire court document, because there is way more than what I’ve posted.

Major health care organization says Obama Care is False Flag op! Millions to be denied health care in Red States! Idaho throws 91% of poor adults to the curb!

17 October 2013 (23:01 UTC-07 Tango 16 October 2013)/12 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/25 Mehr 1391/13 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“……over five million poor uninsured adults have incomes above Medicaid eligibility levels but below poverty and may fall into a ‘coverage gap’ of earning too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to qualify for Marketplace premium tax credits.”-The Coverage Gap: Uninsured Poor Adults in States that Do Not Expand Medicaid, Kaiser Family Foundation

The Kaiser Family Foundation is warning that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka Obama Care) will not provide health insurance for about 5.2 million low income adults!

That’s because Obama Care relies on states to expand Medicaid coverage to Obama Care standards, but they don’t have to because of a 2012 Supreme Court ruling.  The result is that people like me, single adults with low incomes but no dependents, will still fall into the coverage gap.

26 states are refusing to expand Medicaid: Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Virginia.

Note that most of those states are considered Red states.

In the Red state of Idaho, the Kaiser study estimates that 60% of “low income” adults will not be covered, and 91% of “poor” adults will not be covered!

The Kaiser study concluded: “…with many states opting not to implement the Medicaid expansion, millions of adults will remain outside the reach of the ACA and continue to have limited, if any, option for health coverage: most do not have access to employer-based coverage through a job, few can afford coverage on their own, and most are currently ineligible for public coverage in their state…..It is unlikely that people who fall into the coverage gap will be able to afford Marketplace coverage: The national average premium for a 40-year-old individual purchasing coverage through the Marketplace is $270 per month for a silver plan and $224 per month for a bronze plan, which equates to about half of income for those at the lower income range of people in the gap….people in the coverage gap are ineligible for cost-sharing subsidies for Marketplace plans and may face additional out-of-pocket costs up to $6,350 a year if they were to purchase Marketplace coverage.”

They’re talking about people like me.  Obama Care is supposed to help me how?
