“El bobo de la yuca” will let some other “bobo” sign up for ObamaCare

(My new Babalu post)

Beny More's legendary Bobo de la Yuca "se quiere casar" but won't be signing up anytime soon for ObamaCare.

According to news reports, Obama Care is off to a rather difficult start.    In fact, The Washington Post is literally looking for someone in a nation of 300 million people who has enrolled:  

"If you have purchased health coverage on the federal government's new Obamacare marketplace, about a dozen or so reporters would like to speak with you. 
We promise we won't take up too much of your time! We just need to find you first. The federal government has said that somewhere out in this vast country of 313 million people, where 48 million lack insurance coverage, someone has managed to sign up for health insurance on the federally-run marketplaces. As of yet, we haven't tracked this person - or these people - down. 
This is not for lack of effort. Reporters here at The Washington Post and at other publications have been on the hunt for this mythical creature."

Dios mio!  Didn't we hear that everybody was just ready to sign up and get their affordable care?

According to other news reports, it is more like a "trickle rather than a wave".

Apparently, one fellow did show up and posted on his page that he enrolled.

His name is Chad, a young man, or precisely the kind of new member that Obama Care will desperately need to pay the "higher premiums" to support the older participants.

What's wrong with Chad?  Nothing, unless you think that being a volunteer for Organizing for America makes him a typical young man in the US.

Good for Chad!   However, the problem with ObamaCare is that there are millions of "Chads" & "Chad-ettes" who are not enrolling.

They are not buying online because ObamaCare is going to be very expensive rather than the affordable option that they heard about at the "yes we can" rally.

The Affordable Health Care Act is not affordable, as many are learning.

Also, ObamaCare: one size fleeces all!   The beauty of a private insurance market is that you have choices.  The nightmare of ObamaCare is that you are stuck in plans designed by congressional staffers.  It was eventually passed by representatives and senators who did not read what they voted for.

Have you signed up?  Call the aforementioned Washington Post!  They will put you on their front page!

We know that "El bobo de la yuca  se va casar y invita todo el munco a la capital".

He plans to let some other "bobo" sign up for Obama Care!
