The more forgiving amongst us may feel some genuine pity for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. On one hand, President Barack Obama loaded her department with the mammoth task of writing up the thousands of rules and regulations that will constitute the real weight of ObamaCare. On the other, he charged Secretary Sebelius with the even more onerous duty of convincing a (rightfully) skeptical American public that the new 2,801 page health care reform law represented a landmark achievement that would benefit all citizens. So far, this hasn't gone so well.
The law remains unpopular to this day due to failure in the realms of principle, policy, constitutionality, and public relations. This lingering unpopularity has led to serious real-world consequences for the law itself. As Joshua Withrow noted before, a stunning majority of states have refused to set up their own state "exchanges," which are the basic machinery through which ObamaCare is meant to operate.
Unless these states undergo an inexplicable change of heart, this means that Secretary Sebelius's department will now take on the added responsibility of creating a majority of the state health insurance "exchanges." In fact, her department has so far only granted "conditional approval" to seventeen proposed state "exchanges," so the number may end up even higher than twenty-seven. It goes without saying that creating just one of these exchanges is not a cheap, simple, easy, or quick process.
Remember, the clock is ticking on ObamaCare's implementation. On October 1st of this year, citizens will supposedly be able to purchase health insurance through these "exchanges," with their coverage beginning on January 1st, 2014. Secretary Sebelius, in fear of this fast-approaching implementation deadline, has graciously (read: desperately) decided to extend or even outright waive the deadline for states to set up their own "exchanges."
This isn't the first time that Secretary Sebelius has postponed this particular deadline. Originally, states were meant to submit their proposals to her department on November 16th of last year. However, well aware that a large majority of states would not meet that deadline (or had any intentions of trying), she delayed it on November 9th to December 14th while demanding that those states that did intend to create an "exchange" must submit a brief "letter of intent" along those lines by the original deadline of November 16th.
This new deadline didn't work out so well, either. On November 15th, when Secretary Sebelius finally realized that those "letters of intent" probably weren't in the mail, she ditched that idea and admitted that the letters could be sent on December 14th, as well. However, she insisted that she would make a final decision on January 1st of this year regarding which states would be allowed to create their own "exchanges." Surely, this would be the final deadline.
As you might suspect, it didn't turn out to be the final deadline. On January 14th, Secretary Sebelius admitted that she would still accept proposals from states that desired to create their own "exchanges." In fact, she will now "waive or extend the deadline" for those states. Perhaps to preserve a shred of dignity, her department claims that proposals for "partnership exchanges" between states and the federal government must still be submitted by February 15th.
It's fair to ask whether Secretary Sebelius is "kicking the can down the road" on the issue of ObamaCare implementation. Well aware that her department is ill-prepared (if not completely incapable) of taking on the gargantuan burden of creating dozens of state "exchanges" by itself, she has continually pushed back this key deadline. Now, there is no true deadline, other than the planned starting date of October 1st.
Is there still time for her department to create these "exchanges?" Not if you were to ask Dan Mendelson, president of consulting firm Avalere Health.
The Washington Post quoted Mendelson as saying that, "It would be very hard at this point to start from scratch. I'm not going to say it's impossible, but it would be unlikely." To be fair, he was discussing recalcitrant states and not the Department of Health and Human Services, but that only makes it worse. A state only needs to construct a single exchange. Secretary Sebelius will have to build dozens. Also, keep in mind that Mr. Mendelson provided this opinion months ago on November 9th. The situation has only grown more dire for Secretary Sebelius since then, as so much precious time has elapsed.
Secretary Sebelius has a hard job. However, she is engaging in pure self-delusion if she believes that repeatedly pushing back these deadlines will cause the states resisting ObamaCare to flock under its banner in these final months. The longer she holds out baseless hope along these lines, the less time her department will have to slap together a pile of last-minute "exchanges."
As FreedomWorks' Vice President of Health Care Policy Dean Clancy put it, "The wheels are coming off the bus, and the Administration is getting desperate." It's time for Secretary Sebelius to admit the obvious: a majority of states in the Union do not support ObamaCare and do not want to participate in it.
It's that simple.
Wherever politics intrudes upon economic life, political success is readily attained by saying what people like to hear rather than what is demonstrably true. Instead of safeguarding truth and honesty, the state then tends to become a major source of insincerity and mendacity. —Hans F. Sennholz
William Voegeli, author of Never Enough: America's Limitless Wellfare State, has written an excellent article, Bait-and-Switch Liberalism. Voegeli explains how politicians know Amercans want additional government services, and so the politician exhorts the benefits and ignores the burdens. The American public eagerly accepts what they like to hear rather than what is demonstrably true.
Voegeli explains how President Obama sold the American public on ObamaCare – universal and improved insurance coverage, minimal cost and reducing the deficit:
"What people wanted to hear was that the higher purpose of guaranteeing "quality, affordable health care for every American," to use Obama's words, could be had easily and painlessly. And it turned out that this historic goal was surprisingly attainable. "Most of this plan," the president told Congress in a September 2009 address on health-care reform, "can be paid for by finding savings within the existing health-care system, a system that is currently full of waste and abuse." Giving millions of uninsured Americans health insurance, and improving coverage for millions more who already had insurance, not only wouldn't increase the federal deficit, but was "a step we must take if we hope to bring down our deficit in the years to come," Obama had explained earlier that year."
Citing a MIT economist, the White House claimed savings for individuals and small businesses. Voegeli reports:
"A November 2009 post on the White House blog cited research and congressional testimony by MIT economist Jonathan Gruber (a health-care adviser to the administration) to share the glad tidings that the legislation taking shape would unleash a torrent of benefits. The bill being considered by the House would lower premiums for individuals while improving coverage, according to Gruber. Small businesses, too, had "little to fear, and much to gain, from health reform," since the money it saved them would lead to hiring more workers and increasing their take-home pay."
Today, the American public is comprehending what was demonstrably true – ObamaCare is very expensive for almost every American. In January 2014, Gruber reports in the Washington Post:
"The law isn't designed to save money. It's designed to improve health, and that's going to cost money."
Classic Bait-and-Switch, obfuscation has unfortunately been part of government for a long time. Democrats and Republicans are both guilty of it. ObamaCare is an unusual situation because the insincerity and mendacity by our government and the awareness by the American people have occurred within four years. So, most of the representatives and senators that perpetrated this insincerity and mendacity remain in power. The elections of 2014 and 2016 will test American's concern over government's source of insincerity and mendacity. Is America outraged? Is America indifferent? How American voters react will have a major impact on our future freedom and democracy. Without trust in government, society declines – culturally, economically and civilly.

FreedomWorks activists across Georgia celebrate as the bill moves to the State Senate
Washington, DC- FreedomWorks activists across the state of Georgia celebrate this week after the Georgia State House passed a bill that effectively nullifies ObamaCare. The bill, H.B. 707 passed with an overwhelming 115-59 majority and travels now to the State Senate, where a solid Republican majority should be able to pass the bill.
The legislation effectively nullifies ObamaCare by stopping state and local officials from assisting in the law's implementation in any way. This would stop Medicaid expansion in the state, stop the health insurance exchange, and would make it very difficult for the Obama Administration to force Georgians into the one-size-fits-all federal program.
FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe commented, "The passage of this ObamaCare nullification bill would not have been successful without the relentless efforts of grassroots activists across Georgia. They're the ones that insisted their legislators listen and pass this bill. If and when the bill passes the State Senate, Georgia will be a model for other states who want to effectively push back against the federal health care takeover."
FreedomWorks joined the efforts of grassroots groups like Georgians for Healthcare Freedom, setting up action alerts that drove hundreds of individual calls to legislators demanding they take a stand against ObamaCare.

Twenty-seven Democrats vote to delay the individual mandate, up by nearly a quarter from last year
Washington, DC- A record-high, twenty-seven House Democrats voted yes on H.R. 4118, legislation that would delay the ObamaCare individual mandate for one year. The total number of Democrats voting to delay the mandate is up by five, nearly 25 percent, compared to the same policy vote last year.
"As we predicted, Democrats are beginning to run for political cover as Americans continue to experience the ObamaCare enrollment disaster," commented Matt Kibbe, President of FreedomWorks. "This is a sign of many things to come in this election cycle. The failures of the big-government Obama Agenda, combined with an anti-incumbent climate nationwide, have created a perfect storm for some change-ups in Congress and the Democrats know it."
FreedomWorks issued a Key Vote in favor of the bill, which will count when calculating the FreedomWorks Economic Freedom Scorecard for 2014.

The Obama administration has unilaterally altered Obamacare again in a way that is wholly illegal, expending money from the Treasury without Congressional approval. Someone ought to pay dearly for this crime, but like all such actions in this administration, it is our children who will pay.
The South Carolina Senate is taking up an extraordinary bill this week, H 3101, that (with an amendment) would be a model for state resistance to ObamaCare. The underlying bill was in need of strengthening, so Senator Tom Davis has offered an amendment that would make the bill airtight. The bill would, for all intents and purposes, nullify ObamaCare in South Carolina, using a Supreme Court-approved procedure called "anti-commandeering".
The bill, with the vital Davis amendment, would:
Stop any state or local government official from cooperating in any way with the federal implementation of ObamaCare.
Prevent the above agencies from applying for or receiving any of the federal grant money under ObamaCare unless approved by the legislature, going so far as to prohibit each grant program by name.
Require the ObamaCare Navigators to register with the state and pass a background check (which is not required under the federal law).
Specifically prohibit the state from either accepting the Medicaid expansion or from establishing a state-run health insurance exchange under ObamaCare.
The Davis amendment has achieved strong support within the South Carolina Senate, and ought to be on its way for an easy passage. Unfortunately, a few Republican senators could be the only thing between South Carolinians and a historic declaration of health care freedom. No doubt one factor that has confused the issue for some of these senators is that the powerful South Carolina Chamber of Commerce has entered the fray - on the side of ObamaCare.
What is most disconcerting about the Chamber's involvement is that its self-declared mission is "to prevent anti-business legislation and regulation". Yet, this supposedly pro-business organization is working to save ObamaCare, a law which is putting business owners in a vice, forcing them to cut hours and workers and drastically raising their insurance premiums.
South Carolina citizens must stand up against corporate lobbyists and reluctant Republicans and demand that H 3101 be passed with the Davis amendment attached. SC residents can Take Action by clicking below:

Fewer and fewer doctors in the US are self-employed, and more employed by hospitals. That is a direct result of government policy, sharply accelerated by Obamacare. The trend will be damaging to American health care. It is still possible to reverse the decline, but powerful forces want it to continue.
A Foolish And Dangerous Paranoia
Doctors effectively can't own new hospitals any more. That's because the Big Hospital lobby convinced the leftists who designed Obamacare that physicans owning hospitals was a conflict of interest. That's right: according to that theory, the people who have devoted their lives to the study of medicine want to own hospitals so they can profit by withholding care, or by overcharging for it.
The trouble with that line of reasoning is that the non-physicians in charge of hospitals and insurance companies have no such conflict. Their incentives are to provide as little care as possible while charging as much as they can. Their desire to protect their personal reputations and adherence to ethical code are not as strong as for physicians.
If you could invent the kind of person to run a health care business, you would invent a physician.
To reverse this, repeal Obamacare.
The Costs
While half of all physicians currently work for independent practices, three of four doctors hired this year will go to work for hospitals, according to one study.
As Dr. Scott Gottlieb wrote last year, hospitals are on a buying binge:
Doctor practices are being acquired at a rapid clip. While some physicians are choosing to sell their practices to integrated delivery systems that are provider led, the majority of doctors are selling their practices to hospitals.
This should have everyone concerned. For one thing, there's ample evidence that provider productivity declines when doctors become salaried employees of hospitals. (Some selected research, analysis, and commentary of these trends can be found here:A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H)
In less urban areas, the hospital and high school can be the largest employers. That leads state and local governments to give them preferential treatment to preserve the jobs associated with them.
Dr. Jason Fodeman of the Galen Institute lays out the question. Will doctors working for hospitals lead to lower costs, or higher?
The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) says that the trend toward hospital-employed doctors may drive up costs because care that was once billed as physician visits will be billed at higher hospital outpatient rates—even when they occur in the same location. In addition, many hospitals charge facility fees for visits with doctors in their system.
Explicit higher charges for seeing a physician in a hospital are one thing, but the real issue is the incentives doctors employed by hospitals face. As employees, they will be less efficient, subject to the bureaucratic pitfalls present in all organizations.
According to Dr. Keith Smith of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma, Medicare and other insurance billing issues involve bigger legal hassles for the self-employed doctor. Self-employed physicians have to comply with Medicare and Medicaid regulations, if they accept those patients, and simply filling out the forms incorrectly can lead to criminal charges. Doctors employed by hospitals don't have that worry: their organization may have to pay a fine, but no one goes to jail.
But even if doctors don't take Medicare and Medicaid patients, Obamacare pushes on them more regulations. Medical practices also have the same issues as other small businesses, which are holding back hiring and changing because of the law.
As The American Interest notes, despite the Obamacare sales rhetoric of lowered costs, hospital bills will be going up:
On the surface, doctors taking on salaried jobs at hospitals might seem like good news for health care costs. One driver of health care inflation is the "fee for service" model, which gives doctors an incentive to deliver the maximum feasible number of billable services per patient. Salaried positions, on the other hand, are supposed to keep down costs, because you get paid the same no matter how many tests you order.
It isn't the fee for service (FFS) model in itself that is the problem, but third party payer in conjunction with it. Taking the decisions about price and service out of the hands of doctors and patients and turning it over to actuaries and bureaucrats will not lower costs, but increase them.
Rather than ditching FFS, we should be deemphasizing third-party payer (like Medicare, Medicaid, and typical health insurance) and instead allow people to pay directly for normal and routine medical care, perhaps with their Health Savings Accounts.
New Coding, Same Control
On top of everything else independent physicians face, the government is pushing a new medical coding system called ICD-10. Independent of Obamacare, it's part of the general regimen of price controls forced on doctors by the health care industrial complex.
A new AMA study indicates ICD-10 will cost on the order of a physician's yearly pay for a practice to implement:
The study, an update of research published in 2008, predicts that small practice costs will range anywhere from $56,639 to more than $226,000. Medium practices, it estimates, will pay between $213,364 and $824,735 for implementation; costs for large practices are predicted to run between $2 million and $8 million.
It's always the same with price controls, whether from insurance companies or governments. When limits are set on prices for products, people selling those products relabel them something else, often resulting in a cat-and-mouse game. Shortages, black markets, and higher overall prices are the inevitable result.
The health care establishment is trying to "reimagine" the field of medicine, to change the role of doctors, asking them to reengineer their practices to work with the governmental, insurance payment models, and electronic systems being developed. Instead, those systems should be eliminated or built around the relationship between the patient.
If we continue down this road, doctors will cease to enjoy the level of public respect they currently have. Along with that lack of respect will come lower pay, and increased treatment of physicians as mere objects to be plugged and played like so many robots on a shop floor.
The problem, as always, is state control. The answer, as always, is freedom.

There is a myth in politics that elections are won and lost in the middle. The premise is that "independent" voters support tenets of both major political parties and candidates must craft their message to attract a majority of these "moderates." Despite the fact that nearly twice as many Americans self-identify as conservative as compared to liberal, conservatives are often referred to as "extremists," or worse.
Prominent political operatives write op-ed pieces proclaiming that Republicans win elections by ignoring the base of their party and that sticking to your principles is a "self-defeating strategy." Yet, these same political operatives commission polls whose results state the opposite to be true.
One such poll was commissioned by a mainstream Republican advocacy group in early June of last year. Several months before millions of Americans discovered that their health insurance premiums and deductibles were set to skyrocket in 2014, nearly two thirds of Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike told a pollster that the top priority of health care policy should be reducing the cost of health care.
Before the defund debate had begun and Senator Ted Cruz stood for 21 hours to implore his U.S. Senate colleagues to defund Obamacare, a cool two thirds of Republicans and Independents told a pollster they wanted Congress to take whatever steps possible to "dismantle" Obamacare now.
The most startling fact of all: when asked whether people should be allowed to purchase insurance across state lines, more than 75% of Democrats, Republicans and Independents agreed. In fact, the greatest agreement was seen among Independents, a cool 85% of whom do not want the government restricting their choice of health insurance.
This brings up a larger point. A record 42% of Americans self-identify as Independent rather than Republican or Democrat because the major political parties do not advance policies that are important to those voters. As an example, while few agree that our present immigration system is ideal, Republican and Democrat politicians press the immigration debate despite only 3% of Americans viewing immigration as the most pressing issue of the day. It is no wonder that pollster Frank Luntz suggested that the most effective political soundbite of 2013 was one where Senator Ted Cruz observed that the President and Congress are not listening to the American people.
In the aftermath of the 2012 election, a prominent Republican political operative suggested that Republicans could regain their political swagger by deploying an "army of computer engineers, mathematicians and social scientists" as the Obama campaign had done to mine electoral data and achieve electoral success. The creation of Para Bellum Labs within the Republican National Committee would seem to indicate that the RNC has heeded this operative's advice.
As a mathematician, I would suggest that the answer is much simpler. Do not target voters, target the message they are sending. When three fourths of the voting public tells you something, LISTEN!
Republicans should offer a simple alternative to Obamacare. Suggest that if you elect us in 2014, we will allow you to buy whatever health insurance plan you want, wherever it is offered, and we will not punish you if you choose not to purchase anything at all. Pass a one page bill out of the House of Representatives and offer it up in the United States Senate with every Republican Senator as a co-sponsor. Take a clear unadulterated stand and follow through! Freedom works!
Conservatives were excoriated during the defund debate last fall as being outside the mainstream. It was a question of tactics we were told, notwithstanding the fact that those doing the questioning were sitting on polling data stating that they ought to have been following the conservatives. It is no wonder that a recent Freedomworks poll found nearly half of its respondents listing health care as a top concern.
The Obama administration told Americans recently that it is "good news" that they will have the "opportunity" to work less as a consequence of Obamacare. Only in a dystopian Orwellian fantasy is more unemployment "good news." By that economic scorecard, Washington should be celebrating with parades every month!
Washington is not listening to the American people. If Republicans are not proactive in fighting our decline into dystopia, their political fortunes will get sucked into its vortex.

I don't want to shock our readers but, occasionally, liberals can be inconsistent. They can be, if one dares use the term, hypocritical. This latest example came to my attention as I was researching a recent piece on the case the Supreme Court is hearing with regards to unions.
The issue, in short, is this: there are those who do not want to be forced to pay union dues, while the unions say they must. The union rationale is that a worker benefits from union negotiated wages and conditions, so it's only right that he or she pay the dues.
The unions call this, in true liberal euphemistic fashion, the "fair share provision." It is thought that, should dues paying become optional, there would be a disproportionate financial burden on those who choose to pay union dues. But apparently, progressive objection to subsidizing the benefits of others doesn't translate to other situations.
Take Obamacare, for example. How does this "fairness" apply to that darling of the left? On the surface, it translates perfectly. Everyone is forced to pay for something they may or may not want, in order to finance the benefits of everyone else. This is another case of fairness above choice because our liberal overlords have decided that it is in our best interest. That, however, is as far as the correlation goes because, in reality, everyone does not pay in.
Obamacare waivers are given out like Mardi Gras beads to those who most enthusiastically flash their support in public. Ironically, this includes unions- the very groups that believe everyone should chip in for the greater good have managed to get out of doing exactly that.
Should the unions wish to be ideologically consistent, I have a a suggestion. Perhaps they should take a page from Obamacare and give waivers to those who actually love their union (and would choose to pay dues), thus only collecting dues from those who have no wish to join. Easy peasy.

Conservatives were right to warn that Governor John Kasich's embrace of the Obamacare Medicaid expansion would increase government spending and hurt Ohio's labor force, a February 4 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report affirms.
States still being pressured to take "free" Medicaid expansion money from DC should learn from Kasich's mistake.
Of exploding federal spending, CBO wrote, "The increase in outlays reflects substantial growth in the cost of the largest benefit programs — Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — and in payments of interest on the government's debt; those increases would more than offset a significant decline in discretionary spending relative to the size of the economy."
The Obamacare Medicaid expansion will cause damage beyond further busting DC's budget, as The Buckeye Institute, Opportunity Ohio, Media Trackers, Foundation for Government Accountability, and others explained while Kasich, a Republican, tried to ram the policy through Ohio's legislature.
"CBO estimates that expanded Medicaid eligibility under [Obamacare] will, on balance, reduce incentives to work," the nonpartisan budget office opined, citing a National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper Media Trackers called attention to last summer.
CBO listed "expansion of eligibility for Medicaid" as the second most important Obamacare provision affecting the nation's labor supply.
"In particular, studies of past expansions or contractions in Medicaid eligibility for childless adults have pointed to a larger effect on labor supply than CBO had estimated previously," CBO wrote.
The left-leaning Urban Institute has estimated that 90 percent of Ohioans eligible for Medicaid under the Obamacare expansion will be able-bodied childless adults, a point The Heritage Foundation's Ed Haislmaier made during Ohio House testimony last spring.
Heritage, like every other right-of-center think tank, was ignored by the Kasich Administration and by the state's rabidly pro-expansion press.
CBO's February 4 report also discredited assurances from Gov. Kasich that Medicaid expansion is separate from Obamacare and that Ohio would save taxpayers no money by refusing to expand Medicaid.
"Medicaid spending is expected to accelerate in 2014, because about 25 states have expanded coverage significantly in keeping with provisions of the Affordable Care Act," CBO wrote.
Elsewhere in the report, CBO noted that new estimates did not take into account any "decisions by states about expanding Medicaid coverage" since last December, an acknowledgement that Obamacare's increased Medicaid costs rise with each state that enacts the expansion.
Media Trackers has sought to explain this simple fact to a seemingly indifferent press since last February. Cato Institute health policy expert Michael Cannon refuted Kasich's position in March 2013 testimony before the Ohio House, but the media chose to ignore him.
The left-leaning Kaiser Family Foundation's cost projections from 2012 — and a direct quote from last March — also affirm that Kasich's talking points are false, but Gov. Kasich continues to misrepresent how the new entitlement benefits will be paid for.
See a list of other findings from the CBO report that are not so much revelations as confirmations of years-old conservative warnings about Obamacare.

Obamacare has been a drag on the US economy so far based mostly on uncertainty and on businesses preparing to comply with its various rules, mandates, penaties, taxes, and fees. But a new report from the CBO shows that the law will trap people in unemployment and cause higher deficits, piling onto the national debt while lower tax receipts make it harder for the government to repay.
There is no way to fix the flawed design of Obamacare. Since its subsidies for insurance companies are inversely proportional to the income of their customers, dropping off as it rises, Obamacare will inevitably convince people to turn down work to keep their insurance. In case it's not clear, that's not good.
To be specific, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says that Obamcare will cause up to 2.5 million Americans to be unemployed by 2024.
Those aren't jobs lost, exactly, but that's not to say it's a good thing. The jobs may still be there, at least for a while, but in a sad twist of bad policy, 2.5 million Americans will see themselves unable to take those jobs, or be convinced that they should not. Over two million people will see their dreams put out of reach, their will to succeed sapped, their working lives cut short by a warm pit of pleasant-looking quicksand.
Once again, we see government policy encouraging income inequality, while those who claim that inequality is the defining challenge of our time applaud. The income inequality will persist for generations, unless Obamacare is fully repealed.
It's not "job lock," where a person is locked into a job to keep insurance. It's more like being locked out of the labor market altogether: a job lockout.
That problem is especially acute since other government programs like SNAP, housing assistance, and the Earned Income Tax Credit also cut off as income rises. Obamacare makes the Work vs Welfare problem even worse than before.
Avik Roy noticed something else, that the CBO estimates economic growth will be slower:
Because of this slower economic growth, CBO projects that from 2014 to 2023, the federal government will receive $1.4 trillion less in tax revenue than it had projected last year. As a result, "CBO now estimates that the cumulative deficit for the 2014-2023 period…would be about $1.0 trillion greater than it projected in May [2013]."
So that's another $1 trillion added to the debt our generation will be leaving for the next. There will be another trillion added to the debt, with millions fewer unable to work to pay the taxes needed to pay it off, while those millions more are trapped in government dependence.
It's all so unnecessary. America's employer-based health insurance took off because of wage and price controls in the 1940s: companies could offer health insurance, but could not offer higher wages. Since the benefits are tax-free, companies have been able to use the health insurance benefit as a way to compete for employees.
Via Twitchy, Martha McCollum asks a simple question:
Lemme get this right: companies used to incentivize hard work with benefits, now the govt discourages it with benefits?
— martha maccallum (@marthamaccallum) February 5, 2014
It's a policy run amok. Even the US Chamber of Commerce, which has been warming to Obamacare, noticed the problem. Obamacare will sap from people the will to succeed, providing not a safety net, but an inescapable hammock.
Obamacare has been a drag on the US economy so far based mostly on uncertainty and on businesses preparing to comply with its various rules, mandates, penaties, taxes, and fees. But a new report from the CBO shows that the law will trap people in unemployment and cause higher deficits, piling onto the national debt while lower tax receipts make it harder for the government to repay.

Return Or Retire? Bucs Give Barber More Time To Decide

Bucs FS Ronde Barber hasn't decided on his 2013 plans

Recapping The Whirlwind Week Of Free Agency In Tampa Bay
SR's Fab 5 - 3-14
The Buccaneers want free safety Ronde Barber back for another season and made that clear with a public statement on Saturday. Barber, who will turn 38 in April, is still mulling over his option to return for a 17th NFL season or retire, and needs more time to make that decision.
The Buccaneers have made it clear that they want free safety Ronde Barber to return for a 17th season, and following a meeting with Barber head coach Greg Schiano and general manager Mark Dominik, the team's G.M. reiterated that publicly in a statement on Saturday.
"Coach Schiano and I met with Ronde this past week and expressed our
desire for him to return to play another season with the Buccaneers," Dominik said. "He
asked us for some time to make his decision and we certainly respect
Barber, who will turn 38 on April 7, appreciates the team's interest, but needs more time to decide whether he wants to retire from the NFL or play one more season with Tampa Bay. He signed a one-year contract worth $3 million last year after signing a one-year $4 million contract prior to the 2011 season.
"They want me to play, but they have left it up to me like they have pretty much every year," Barber told the Tampa Bay Times at the DeBartolo Family Foundation All-Star Celebrity Gala. "I've got time, so I'm going to take my time."
Barber has played more seasons (16) than any other player in Tampa Bay history. If he returns for a 17th season, Barber will tie Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis for the second-most in NFL history for the most seasons with an original team. Kicker Jason Hanson holds the record for spending 21 years with the Detroit Lions.
After spending his first 15 years at cornerback, Barber seamlessly made the transition to free safety in 2012 and was a Pro Bowl alternate. Barber is a five-time Pro Bowler, a distinction that ties him for the third-most appearances in franchise history with former strong safety John Lynch and middle linebacker Hardy Nickerson, in addition to being a three-time All-Pro, which is one h of that honor than either Lynch or Nickerson received.
Should Barber return, his legend will continue to grow. He has played in more consecutive games (240) with more consecutive starts (215) than any other Buccaneer, and his consecutive start streak is the most by any current NFL player. Barber has 232 career starts, including 200 consecutive starts at cornerback, which is the most in NFL history.
Not only is Barber, the Bucs' all-time leading interceptor with 47 picks, he is also the second-leading tackler in Tampa Bay history with 1,428, ranking behind only former linebacker Derrick Brooks, who notched 2,198 stops in his Buccaneers career. Barber is the only player in NFL history to record at least 40 interceptions and 25 sacks in his career. His 28 career sacks are the seventh-most in Buccaneers history. With two more sacks and three more interceptions Barber would become the only player in NFL history with an even 50 picks and 30 sacks.
Barber's 92-yard interception return for a touchdown in the 2002 NFC Championship Game at Philadelphia sealed the team's victory and paved the way for the Buccaneers to win the franchise's first and only Super Bowl title, which came against Oakland a week later. Barber's pick-six of Eagles QB Donovan McNabb is widely regarded as the top play in Tampa Bay history.
In 2012, Barber had 91 tackles, one sack and once again led the Buccaneers with four interceptions, including one which he returned for a touchdown against Kansas City. Barber has scored the most non-offensive touchdowns in Buccaneers history (12). His 12 regular season scores are tied for the third-most in NFL history. With one more defensive score, Barber will be tied for first all-time with former NFL defensive backs Darren Sharper and Rod Woodson.
Despite solid play from Barber, Tampa Bay's pass defense ranked last in the NFL, and surrendered 297.4 yards per game. While the Bucs want Barber, a long-time team captain, to return, what is uncertain is whether or not he would be guaranteed his starting job back or whether there would be an open competition between Barber, third-year free safety Ahmad Black, who had a breakout season last year with 31 tackles, two interceptions and two forced fumbles, and Keith Tandy, a 2012 sixth-round draft pick that led the Bucs in tackles in the preseason.

I hope Ronde comes back for one more season. It would be great to have BARBER and BARRON at the safety positions , and REVIS and a top notch free agent corner at the cornerback positions . I just hope they don 't turn one of the cornerback positions over to MYRON LEWIS . Myron, would probably be good at tending the front gate at Paradise Lakes Resort , not trying to play cornerback in the NFL .

While we're correcting spelling of names. Martini, It's Lee Roy not Leroy. And Rhonda"? Really Martini.
March 9, 2013
8:27 pm
I have all the respect in the world for Ronde Barber. He ranks up there with Brooks, Sapp, and Leroy Selmon. However it is time that he stands in front of the mirror and says YES or NO!!!! He owes it to himself, the coaches, the team, and most of all the fans. I had to make the call and call it quits although I may have stuck it out another year. Ya just got to man-up. Unfortunately we all don't get the opportunity to decide ( see Derrick Brooks.). On Tuesday a lot of highly needed talent is going to be available. Team needed talent as well as coaches and Management needed talent. Rhonda has always been there for Tampa and I don't think he is ready to hurt the team. Yes or No. We will still respect him. Go Buc's..........
March 9, 2013
8:30 pm
I apologize pomer1eau I misspelled Ronde once. I was not an English major.
March 9, 2013
7:01 pm
Why do people still put an H in RONDES name there is no damn H its not Rhonde. Youre a fan so get it right. I see it all the time and its pretty annoying coming from other Buc Fans. Especially when the article it self has the name spelled correctly.
March 9, 2013
4:33 pm
I'd like to see Ronde come back for another one-more-year. IMO he's NOT living on his legend. He played well enough to be a pro bowl alternate at his new position last year. I also think we need to be bringing in his eventual replacement. Even Ronde isn't going to be able to play forever, and I'm not sold on Ahmad Black and his short stature as his long-term replacement. If we can bring in a young guy this year, then let Ronde play a ball-hawking center fielder in nickel and dime. If we can't find a quality replacement till next year, then I'm very comfortable with Ronde playing our starting FS. With a young team like ours, Mr. Barber is well worth having in the locker room no matter where or how much he's playing.
March 9, 2013
3:41 pm
I am going to disagree with most of you. HORSE- fair at best? how did you come to that conclusion?WE had no pass rush and pathetic CB's.Why do you think the coaching staff that you have praised before want him back? There has to be a reason right? I like younger too but Rhonde is experienced and is more than likely a player/coach already. He has VALUE. We have many other holes to fill this year on defense and getting another safety next year through FA or draft makes it easier to focus on bigger areas of need this year. COME ON BACK RHONDE!!
March 9, 2013
3:38 pm
I'd like to see him part time in the slot as nickel back. He's getting long in the tooth, but can still fill in almost anywhere in the secondary. I'd love to see the Bucs draft the Badger in the later rounds and have Barber teach him slot.
March 9, 2013
2:05 pm
Horse, I think if he does come back to a lesser role, hell still be the opening play starter just to keep his streak going.
March 9, 2013
1:59 pm
Horse... Well said!
March 9, 2013
1:35 pm
Please decide soon Ronde! If you do decide to retire but not ill after FA or the draft that kinda leaves the safety position at a weak spot. I dont think Black is ready to be the starter at FS and I wouldnt mind to see the team get Delmas to take his spot if he does retire.
March 9, 2013
1:21 pm
I hope Rhonde retires and we will give him a big half time celebration in a game this season. At this point it is time to let a young guy replace Rhonde. If we have to play him so he can just keep extending his games starting over someone who is just as fair as Barber, then I believe it is hurting the team. Barber is fair at best in this game and most of us know that. Now if he is willing to check his ego and be a non starting player. asst. coach, and asst scout, then I am all for it. This is a business and Rhonde has less value as a player versus his celebrity status at this point. Just my opinion and I totally respect Rhonde for what he has done in the past.

Fantastic Machine for the $$
By PAC
from Connecticut
what a fabulous machine for the money! Over the course of the first week, I cleaned every single thing I owned -- more than once in a row, since they've clearly never been cleaned properly before, using only ammonia and a toothbrush. this sweet little machine gets into all the crevices, and just vibrates the dirt, oil, lotion out! I added a drop or two of "Dawn" dishwashing detergent to help for the initial cleaning. Now it's just maintenance! Sweeeeet! Went to buy two more for presents and they were sold out. Darn!

Does very little....
By Deb @ Danair
from Hollis, NH
I make a lot of sterling silver jewelry. I wanted to find something quick and less harsh to clean my items. This unit did almost nothing when I put the silver in that had tarnished. I compared the machine "cleaned" items with ones that just got cleaned by the strong silver cleaner and it looked like the machine didn't do much of anything.Returning the product!

No great "shakes"
By brian3i
from pennsylvania
I bought this specifically to clean one fairly large piece of fine silver filigree that had become heavily tarnished over the years. After more than ten "baths", the bulk of the tarnish still remained, although some sections had brightened up a bit. I finally gave up, but will continue to clean the item on occasion to see if it eventually cleans up.

Surprised and Delighted
By Denise
from Hampton Bays, NY
I was surprised at how easily the product is to use and how well it cleaned my jewelry. I also found it to do an amazing job on cleaning eyeglasses and sunglasses -- they are like new. The unit is the perfect size, doesn't take up too much room on the counter and is perfect for every day use.
By Bridgelady
from Bradenton, FL
Couldn't believe it! Put my apparently clean watch band into the unit (watch on top of the braquet) and after 180 sec I looked at the water . . .VERY dirty! I'm impressed!
Best Jewelry Cleaner
from New York
Use daily for cleaning diamond and other precious stone rings and earrings. Does a surprisingly good job of making everything sparkle. If you rinse your piece in warm water before putting into the machine -- just to get off the surface stuff -- you have better results. You really need to add the dish washing liquid to get a sparkly result.
Proved to do what it claimed to do.
By Rascal
from Twin Falls, Idaho
I use the Jewelry Cleaner for all my jewelry...No brushes needed, to loosen the stones, and no chemicals to harm any of the surfaces. It is light in weight and small enough for storage when not in use.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Here's a rich, ripe, opulent Syrah, all jammy blackberry, cherry and currant flavors, sprinkled with black pepper and housed in a structure of firm, strong tannins. It's a blend of some of the best vineyards in the county, including Bien Nacido, Larner and Ampelos."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Even better, and a killer value, is the 2010 Syrah Colson Canyon. Aged nine months in neutral oak, this 100% Syrah (1,000+ cases made) exhibits attractive notes of roasted herbs, licorice, camphor, blackberries, cassis, roasted meat and bouquet garni. Full body, gorgeous purity and a wonderful..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Syrah Cuvee Christine is striking. Dark blue/black fruits, grilled savory herbs, smoke, licorice, incense and mint form the backbone in the 2010. There are plenty of varietal notes in the glass, but at the same time, the style remains quite forward and fruit-driven. A juicy, forward..

32 point-buy is the presumed creation method, but we have generally allowed other levels of point-buy. If you do use a different point-buy, please make your case for its necessity in your entry. Keep in mind that for using exceptionally large or small point-buys may warrant deductions in elegance and/or power.
Power level is up to you. Cheese is acceptable, but should be kept to a sane level unless you're showcasing a new TO build you've discovered. In the words of one of my predecessors, a little cheddar can be nice, but avoid the mature Gruyere unless you're making a cheese fondue.
Elegance could bear a little elaboration. It basically measures how skillfully you put your build together, and whether you sacrificed flavor for power. We're cooking here - if your dish doesn't taste good, it doesn't matter how well-presented it is. Use of flaws is an automatic loss of one point per flaw in this category. Other things that will cause lost points here are excessive multiclassing, and classes that don't fit the concept - using Cloistered Cleric in a front-line melee fighter, for example, will lose you points.
I am going to have to ask the contestants to PM me about any disagreement with the judges. Under no circumstances is a contestant to defend themselves inside the thread, since it breaks anonymity.
Due to concerns about standardizing entry format, I'd like everyone to try to use the following table for their entry.
For entries with spellcasting, use the following table for Spells per day and Spells Known. (Spells Known only if necessary, i.e. Sorcerer or Bard, but not Wizard or Warmage)
For other systems (Psionics, ToB, Incarnum, etc.) keep track of PP/maneuvers/essentia separately, preferably in a nice neat list.

Google never fails to deliver. [PIC]
Google goes dark for 2 minutes, kills 40% of world's net traffic
You can all relax now. The near-unprecedented outage that seemingly affected all of Google's services for a brief time on Friday is over.
The event began at approximately 4:37pm Pacific Time and lasted between one and five minutes, according to the Google Apps Dashboard. All of the Google Apps services reported being back online by 4:48pm.
The incident apparently blacked out every service Mountain View has to offer simultaneously, from Google Search to Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive, and beyond.
Big deal, right? Everyone has technical difficulties every once in a while. It goes with the territory.
But then, not everyone is Google. According to web analytics firm GoSquared, worldwide internet traffic dipped by a stunning 40 per cent during the brief minutes that the Chocolate Factory's services were offline. rest

It turns out that YouTube was just a big contest. According to the YouTube blog, the site, which was launched in 2005, was just a way to find the best video in the world. And today, eight years later, it is closing the competition. The site will stop taking submissions on Tuesday, April 2 at midnight and close down. All videos will be deleted.
No more Harlem Shakes. No more Gangnam Style. No more Charlie Bit My Finger.
YouTube will start to announce the best video nominees at 9 a.m. PT on April 1 via a livestreamed broadcast. While 30,000 technicians go through the YouTube submissions, a panel of judges, which includes famous YouTubers like Antoine Dodson and iJustine, will vote on the best video. The best video will be selected by 2023 when the site will relaunch. source

Team USA goaltender enjoys his first real Worlds action
HELSINKI Entering the 2013 tournament, Team USA goaltender Ben Bishop had a perfect record from his 2010 appearance to defend. Before this tournament, his World Championship save percentage was a neat 100. Of course, he only played one period in a game against Kazakhstan in Germany, making five saves.They were all breakaways, Bishop says, laughing.He made twice as many saves in the first period of the game against Latvia, and while the name Manuel Latusa probably didnt mean much to Bishop before the tournament, it was Latusa who beat Bishop in the Worlds for the first time. Three years ago Bishop was an emerging prospect who had played six NHL games for St. Louis Blues, the team that drafted him in the third round in 2005. Last year, he was traded to the Ottawa Senators, and this year to the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he was the starter for the last month of the season. He played 22 games this season, and posted a 92.0 save percentage. Bishop, 26, is still not an established NHL star, but he is still the man of the future, and in Helsinki, he is Team USAs starter, and has already made 37 saves. (Not all of them have been breakaways). In his two games in the tournament, wins against Austria and Latvia, Bishop has posted a 90.24 save percentage and a 2.00 goals against average. And, yes, at 201 centimetres, Bishop is an impressively towering image in the American crease. With the NHL regular season ending just days before the World Championship, Team USA didnt have much time to get ready, so the team is still in the middle of the gelling process.Theres no time to prepare, we had two practices, and then played games, but weve all played the game a million times. Once you get together, it takes a couple of games to get the chemistry together, but its not like anything changes drastically, Bishop says. Even though skaters often say it takes some time to adjust to the larger international ice sheet, Bishops take on it is a lot more straight-forward, and borderline philosophical. His focus is simple. The big rink is no different, the games a little slower because theres more time. I love it, though, because I like to play the puck, he says. Especially in the game against Latvia, Bishop was quick to drop the puck after a glove save, and send a breakout pass to his defensemen.I love playing the puck, he says again, with a smile. For a team that met a week ago at the airport, getting two games, and two wins, under their belt is a good thing heading into a game against Russia, which is expected to be a better yardstick than Austria or Latvia. Sure it helps since weve never played together, but wed be pumped for Russia no matter what, he says.While Bishop may now his own teammates, he cant say the same of many of the players on the other teams. That doesnt matter to Bishop, either. I just worry about myself, not the other team. I just prepare the same way I always do. I know more about the Russian players [than Latvian players] but nothing changes. I still have to go out and make the saves, he says. But I think all teams here are pretty close. Austria and Latvia are good teams and they work hard. No team can just go out and dominate in this tournament. Anybody can win anybody. Just look at the scores: Sweden lost, Canada lost, Finland almost lost, he adds. Its been 80 years since the U.S. last won the World Championship, and nine years since the Americans left the tournament with a medal. Bishop says the teams goal is crystal clear. We want to win the gold medal. We didnt come over here to just play, were here to win, he says. For that, Team USA is going to need their big goalie play a series of big games. Goaltending is important, in any game. Always nice if the guys score goals, but it doesnt always happen, so the goalie has to make the stops, says Bishop.In this game of chess on ice, Team USA coach Joe Sacco has something other coaches dont have. His Bishop is also his king. RISTO PAKARINEN
