The Obamacare success stories you haven't been hearing about

Quote from Yannis:

Yes, we leave the heavy duty lying to the Big O, he does it well and often. :)

First, Media Matters is a far left organization with no credibility imo.

Second, even if we look at you post for a minute, Fox uses the best information available to them to report that The Cleveland Clinic is shedding workers. The Communications lady, Sheil, doing her job, calls it "voluntary retirement", confirming that they do want to lighten up the workforce rolls to lower costs. Important confirmation, small difference in words.

Back during my AT&T days, we used to call it "reorganizing a department outside the company." Many other companies, eg, Lucent, called it early retirement but the terms were not much different from a severance pay, plain and simple.

I don't know the details here, what were the terms, how much pressure was applied to older employees to leave, etc, but it is clear that Fox was right in the essence of their main announcement: the Clinic felt that they had to lose employees because of impending cost pressures, primary of which was ObamaCare, as reported by other credible sources. Period!

Fact and Convertability are antonyms.

You're making it up to to your narrative. The main source said no massive layoffs yet you want to believe there are other sources that are not cited.

A disastrous story:

Fox Blames Obamacare For Fictional Layoffs At Cleveland Clinic

Fox News reported that the Cleveland Clinic was instituting "massive layoffs" due to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, but when asked about the reports, a Clinic spokesperson told Media Matters, "We're not."

On November 25, The Daily Caller published an article titled, "Top U.S. hospital laying off staff due to Obamacare." On Fox Business' Markets Now, host Connell McShane reported on the "massive layoffs." America's Newsroom host Bill Hemmer claimed that the Cleveland Clinic was going to "shed workers." Later, during the America's News HQ, Fox reporter Chris Stirewalt claimed that the layoffs "rocked the community there in northeastern Ohio."

But there's one problem: the Cleveland Clinic is not laying off any employees. Eileen Sheil, Cleveland Clinic's Executive Director of Corporate Communications, said in an e-mail to Media Matters, "There have been several mis-reports and they keep mentioning that we're laying off 3,000 employees. We're not." Sheil explained that Cleveland Clinic is offering voluntary retirement to 3,000 eligible employees and that the Clinic is also "working on many initiatives to lower costs, drive efficiencies, reduce duplication of services across our system and provide quality care to our patients." Sheil continued, "Many of these initiatives do not impact our employees."

Remember kids, FOXNews doesn't lie.

Idiot! I have a relative employed at Cleveland Clinic as a NP. Your "source" is not telling the truth.

Wait for a little while and we'll see how many layoffs occur at the Cleveland Clinic. Bet you $$ that there will be people laid off.

Hint: rather than finding some bogus web site link it actually makes more sense to have inside info that can be verified by people who actually work there.

The link below is a Reuters story ... are you suggesting Reuters is reporting FALSE info?

You are perhaps the most mentally challenged poster here on ET IMO.

You look dumb every single day. As for me looking dumb on that thread, I suppose I would to the uneducated. If you can't grasp the concepts of real inflation vs. the government's made up metric and instead choose to eat what the government feeds you, then I guess that's your choice. Can't say I'm surprised.

That's a great idea. I suggest a monetary bet between you and Convertability. I doubt she will put up, but let's see anyway.

And speaking of even more "stupid" on your part is that you have had several posts in the past where you've talked about inflation at home vs. seniors with fixed income. You've talked about a declining dollar, and how Bernanke couldn't be more wrong with his pursuit of policy. Hell, you even posted a youtube video on Ron Paul making fun of Bernanke about this topic - and the CPI.

Here's your post:

Bernanke cites the textbook nonsense

Textbookwise, he's right. Real world, like Nixon, he couldn't be more wrong.

Most likely what Cleveland Clinic will do is see how many take the early retirement/buyout packages. If they come up short then the remainder will be laid off.
 
The situation is so dire for the Obama administration that they need to have their political allies fund a group to dig up positive stories about Obamacare.

Group gets $1.1 million grant to collect ObamaCare 'success stories'
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...n-grant-to-collect-obamacare-success-stories/

A self-proclaimed non-partisan organization has been given a $1.1 million grant to establish a database of ObamaCare “success stories,” as the Obama administration tries to rehab the law’s image amid the rocky rollout.
