You wanna know what your 2015 health insurance rates are? You have to wait until AFTER voters can’t use the info against the left

...for the first time in 20 years I can not even quote a replacement product because Barack Obama has issued a GAG ORDER to the health insurance industry instructing them not to disclose their January 2015 health insurance rates until after the mid-term elections. This is unprecedented. Normally health insurance premiums are released for public viewing 60 days before the January 1st effective date. Where are the reports on these cancellations and the gag order from NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN? The only news organization that I am aware of that has reported on any of this is the Fox News channel.

I thought you were kidding, but both the Wall Street Journal and USA Today reported on it.

Obamacare is in hiding until after the election: Column
Robert Laszewski 6:57 p.m. EDT October 13, 2014
How our government is obscuring facts about your health insurance until after the election.
Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that the administration sent an email to the insurance companies participating in Obamacare telling them to keep their mouths shut about the testing of the new health law's enrollment system saying, that unlike last year, they would require "all testers (the insurance companies) to acknowledge the confidentiality of this process" before they would be allowed to participate. The administration reminded insurers that their confidentiality agreement with the Obama administration means that insurance executives "will not use, disclose, post to a public forum, or in any way share Test Data with any person or entity, included but not limited to media..." This includes any "results of this testing exercise and any information describing or otherwise relating to the performance or functionality" of the Obamacare enrollment and eligibility system.

Mitt Romney told an Iowa crowd this weekend that candidates shouldn't tell jokes, "but I'm not running for office, so I can tell one."
His subject: President Obama.
The loser of the 2012 presidential election, stumping for Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst, told a long story that involved Obama, golfer Phil Mickelson, tennis star Andre Agassi and a bank.
Here is Romney's joke in full, courtesy of National Journal:
"President Obama went to the bank to cash a check and he didn't have his ID. And the teller said you've got to prove who you are.
"He said, 'How should I do that?' She said the other day Phil Mickelson came in, he didn't have his ID but he set up a little cup on the ground, took a golf ball, putted it right into that cup so they knew it was Phil Mickelson. They cashed his check.
"And then Andre Agassi came in. And Andre Agassi didn't have his ID either. He put a little target on the wall, took a tennis ball and racquet - hit it onto that target time. We knew that was Andre Agassi so we cashed his check.
"And she said to him, 'Is there anything you can do to prove who you are?' And [Obama] said, 'I don't have a clue.'
"And she said, 'Well, Mr. President, do you want your money in small bills or large bills?'"

"MIT economist Jonathan Gruber’s factually impoverished testimony on Obamacare didn’t get nearly the attention it should have, as congressional Democrats cleverly decided to release a report on CIA torture abuses on the same day."
The CA Biotch was quick to make a cover-up for the hearings. Politics are becoming more important to politicians than anything they can do to help the USA be successful. Makes me want to puke!!!!!
