RUSH: “Congressional staffers were warned Wednesday not to rely on information provided by the Obamacare exchange website, in an e-mail alert informing them they might not be enrolled for coverage even if they technically signed up.”<\/p>\n

Congressional staffers told not to rely on information. What about the rest of us, then? “The ‘very important\u2019 message, sent to Capitol Hill officials Wednesday afternoon, is the latest sign that the government has concerns about the reliability of the system.” No kidding. They only get concerned when members of Congress can\u2019t sign up or when they can\u2019t rely on information provided by the exchange website? <\/p>\n

<\/a>“Despite improvements in the basic operation of the exchange websites, and increased enrollment, there are lingering concerns about whether those signing up will actually be covered on Jan. 1.”<\/p>\n

Wasn\u2019t it last week or something we were told that if you had signed up with the exchange that you had better call your insurance company to find out? To not accept whatever the website told you, that you\u2019d better call and confirm it? And now members of Congress are being told the same thing, and they thought they were covered. They thought they were being taken care of. They thought their subsidies were being handled, they had nothing to worry about. <\/p>\n

“‘Please DO NOT ASSUME you are covered unless you have seen the Confirmation Letter from the Disbursing Office!\u2019 the e-mail to staffers said. The e-mail urged staffers who have signed up via the DC Health Link — the health care exchange for the District of Columbia — to double check with the office that they\u2019re enrolled. ‘Do NOT rely on your “My Account” page or other correspondence from DCHL,\u2019 the message said.”<\/p>\n

You know, I don\u2019t care where you go, I don\u2019t care what you look at, whatever the news is, nothing is working, nothing can be relied on, nothing that the government has anything to do with can be relied on. Unemployment news, health care has now been totally bollixed. This is an absolute disaster. The budget is totally out of control. We\u2019re spending money that we don\u2019t have. Apparently not one person in Washington, no matter what party, no matter what think tank — well, I gotta exclude the think tanks. Not one elected official is willing to stand up and say, “Wait a minute, stop the presses, we don\u2019t have any money.” <\/p>\n

We still have all this gobbledygook being discussed and all this budget talk and minutia. We don\u2019t have the money for anything that we\u2019re doing, and the money that we\u2019re supposedly sending is being sent down a rathole. Health care is being destroyed, the budget\u2019s being destroyed, every government program can\u2019t be relied on. Medicare is being destroyed. Social Security, who knows what\u2019s gonna become of that. This is just unbelievable. After all of this time, three years to set these exchanges up, three years after this thing is signed into law. And members of Congress: Don\u2019t trust the information that you\u2019re given. <\/p>\n

“The message reminded them they haven\u2019t enrolled and ‘will not have health insurance next year\u2019 unless they get a confirmation letter.” There\u2019s nobody competent. Nobody can tell anybody whether they\u2019ve got health insurance or not, whether they got a confirmation letter or not, nobody knows. What an outright, utter disaster everything seems to be. We\u2019ve got the president of the United States openly flirting with another foreign leader who is accepting the flirts and flirting back, at a memorial service, for who we are told is one of the most important human beings to ever walk the earth. But the people over there honoring the man don\u2019t take it seriously enough to give it the solemnity and respect that it deserves. And then we\u2019re told when we have problems that we\u2019re the racists, that we\u2019re the bigots, that we\u2019re the homophobes and to not take everything so seriously. <\/line><\/p>\n

Every institution and tradition seems to be under assault in this country. And the people now trying to wreak havoc and do the damage don\u2019t care about the damage that they\u2019re creating. There doesn\u2019t seem to be anybody competent involved in any aspect of what\u2019s happening in government: Congress, Senate, nothing can be relied on. Not one person can stand up and say, “Whoa. We don\u2019t have the money for this. What do you mean, we\u2019re not gonna balance the budget for 40 years?” <\/p>\n

There\u2019s not one person willing to take this seriously? Not one, out of 535 people? Well, there may be people in there, but they\u2019re not involved in the negotiations of this deal. I mean, there might be a few here or there in the Senate or House that are taking seriously. We\u2019re not hearing from them, and they\u2019re not in power to do anything about it. The people who are just keep kicking the can down the road, adding to and expanding on and building the problem, no matter what it is. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have the finest health care system in the world, and it turns out the vast majority of the American people were satisfied and happy with it. And now people are being denied life-saving insurance coverage and treatment that they were getting. And they\u2019re out there saying, “What is our government doing to us? Why is our government doing this to us?” And even when you tell them, when you give them the answer, it\u2019s not one they want to hear. Your government\u2019s doing this to exact total control over you. Your government is doing this to limit your freedom. Your government is doing this to you because they don\u2019t think you can handle life yourself. Your government is doing this to you because they want the power to have control over every aspect of your life. <\/p>\n

“No, that can\u2019t be.” <\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly who these people are. And they\u2019re incompetent boobs at the same time in the process. Kathleen Sebelius, what did she say yesterday? Kathleen Sebelius, she said something really strange yesterday. “Well, just because you\u2019ve been cancelled doesn\u2019t mean that you don\u2019t have insurance,” something silly like that. Just because you\u2019ve been given a cancellation notice doesn\u2019t mean that you don\u2019t have coverage, or some silly, stupid, idiotic, senseless statement. Yeah, I got to hear some of the things that she said to the House committee yesterday. And among other things, she said, and I quote, “People who have received cancellation notices are thrilled with the choices that are now available to \u2019em.” <\/line>
