Oops. Another leetle problem with Obamacare. Did you just have a baby? Get married? Change jobs? Get a raise that might change your subsidy status? Get your hours changed (I hear that's happening a lot now)?

Should be no problem. Just log on to the Obamacare site, enter the new information, they system will adjust to it, and you're done. Right?

Except... there's nowhere in the Obamacare site to put in the new information, or make such changes.

So, who's going to pay for the care for that new baby, while the govt straightens that out? The baby won't wait, you know. Whose problem is it, to take care of these demands right now?

You guessed it.

Well, they'll probably get around to it, eventually. As soon as they get everything else fixed.

But this is America. If you don't like the way this is being handled by the present system, you can just go to the competition. Can't you?

Except... there isn't any competition. Not any more.

You only THOUGHT this was America. It isn't as much "America" as you thought. Not any more.

Happy new year, in this Brave New World.

APNewsBreak: Adding a new baby to plan not easy

WASHINGTON (AP) — There's another quirk in the Obama administration's new health insurance system: It lacks a way for consumers to quickly and easily update their coverage for the birth of a baby and other common life changes.

With regular private insurance, parents just notify the health plan. Insurers will still cover new babies, the administration says, but parents will also have to contact the government at some point later on.

Right now the HealthCare.gov website can't handle such updates.

Let's all just finally face what has to be the obvious truth about the RACIST word OBAMACARE.

It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. No matter how you pronounce it, nor how illegally Obama has attempted to change it as LAW.

It has become UNCONSTITUTIONAL...despite what the SCOTUS, and Chief Justice Roberts decided to call it...a TAX.
