OMG! I'm sure we have all heard about the fiasco called the Affordable Care Act (better known as Obamacare). Probably the one thing you absolutely know about this law is that the website for it doesn't work. Yep, evidently the creators of the site were surprised and overwhelmed with the numbers of people checking into the site. (I loved the SNL Weekend Update bit comparing it to the flowers.com site being surprised and overwhelmed by volume on Valentine's day.) I watched the speeches from our president assuring those of use that have been paying for and using our own, chosen health care insurance provider, that we will not be required to give up our private insurance provider. As millions of Americans received cancellation letters from their insurance provider, the president did stutter a bit in his "explanation." This blatant lie to the American people will be discussed again and again.
My favorite part of this dramedy playing out before the world is the complete disregard and non-interest displayed by the people expected to pay for this law. Every time the president would parade an American that was able to get through the website and actually sign up for "affordable care," it would be an aging Baby Boomer. Attention ladies and gentlemen! These are not the folks that are going to be paying for this insurance. These are the people that will be using the insurance. The PAYERS are you millenials out there. Every time a reporter asks one of them what they think of Obamacare they typically respond with a blank stare. If, by chance, the reporter is lucky enough to encounter a millenial that actually participate in life outside of their video game or texting or playlist, the typical answer is, "I'll just pay the $95 fine for not enrolling and deal with it later." Awesome.
Evidently the government (thru a Colorado non-profit) has noticed that their cash cows are not engaged. They have come up with some clever marketing to get their attention. (hopefully you are not eating) Enjoy. (oh yeah, these are real ads. They're known as brosurance and ho-surance. wonderful.)

Doh! What? You mean young kids these days would rather pay $95 dollars than $1500 a month and just take their chances health wise? Why would they want to do that? ;)
