This is for Oddo and his savior Nobama....
The Obama Administration just keeps lying!!!!! All they do is
lie.........
A study released Tuesday by the non-profit RAND Corporation
found that only 3.9 million people have enrolled in the
Obamacare exchanges--a much smaller number than the 7 million
sign-ups touted by the Obama administration:
By our estimate, 3.9 million people are now covered through the
state and federal marketplaces. This number is lower than
current estimates of marketplace enrollment through the end of
March from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
perhaps because some of the [Health Reform Opinion Study] data
were collected in early March. All HROS data collection reported
here ended on March 28, and therefore missed the last three days
of the open enrollment period, during which time there was a
surge in enrollment.
The study also found that people gaining employer-provided
insurance was the biggest reason why the uninsured rate has
dropped in recent months:
Of those who were previously uninsured but are now insured, 7.2
million gained [employer-sponsored insurance], 3.6 million are
now covered by Medicaid, 1.4 million signed up through the
marketplaces, and the remainder gained coverage through other
sources.
If the 1.4 million figure is correct, that means that less than
0.5 percent of the U.S. population gained insurance through the
Obamacare exchanges. Of course, it's certainly possible that the
Obama administration's estimates are closer to the mark. But
even if that's the case, it's highly unlikely that more than 1
percent of the U.S. population gained insurance--that is, they
were previously uninsured but are now insured--because of the
Obamacare exchanges.

Real Obamacare sign-up #s (from Rand): 1.4 million. The rest
were either thrown off old insurance or got Medicaid

Reports: Company Tied to Reid's Son Wants Land in Bundy Standoff

Standoff Rory Reid
Sunday, 13 Apr 2014 08:48 PM
By Greg Richter
The Nevada rancher who forced the federal Bureau of Land
Management to back down last week may have been targeted because
a Chinese solar company with ties to Sen. Harry Reid's son wants
the land for an energy plant, several websites report.
A report on Godfatherpolitics.com, says Chinese energy giant
ENN Energy Group wants to use federal land as part of its effort
to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel-building plant in the
southern Nevada desert. Rory Reid, the son of Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, is representing ENN in their efforts to
locate in Nevada.
Part of the land ENN wants to use was purchased from Clark
County at well below appraised value. Rory Reid is the former
Clark County Commission chairman, and he persuaded the
commission to sell 9,000 acres of county land to ENN on the
promise it would provide jobs for the area, Reuters reported in
2012.
In addition to the county acreage, the federal Bureau of Land
Management at one time was looking at BLM property under dispute
with cattle rancher Cliven Bundy. The BLM is headed by former
Harry Reid senior policy adviser Neil Kornz.
According to BizPac Review, BLM documents indicate that the
federal property for which Bundy claims grazing rights were
under consideration by a solar energy company. Those documents
have since been removed from BLM's website, but BizPac quotes
from one of them:
"Non-Governmental Organizations have expressed concern that the
regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone
utilizes Gold Butte as the location for offsite mitigation for
impacts from solar development, and that those restoration
activities are not durable with the presence of trespass
cattle."
"Trespass cattle" is a reference to Bundy's herd. Bundy's
family has grazed cattle on the land since the 1870s, and Bundy
maintains he has grazing rights to the federal land. But he
hasn't paid his federal grazing fees in 20 years in a dispute
with the BLM.
BLM agents hired contract cowboys earlier this year to seize
hundreds of head of cattle and were moving in to seize the rest
when militia members from across the country and other
supporters showed up last week.
Citing a dangerous situation, the BLM backed off its efforts
and returned Bundy's cattle Saturday, but it has vowed to
continue fighting him in court and administratively.
In its effort to get Bundy off the land, it has attempted to
get him to reduce his 1,000-head herd to 150, The Blaze's Dana
Loesch reports. Bundy says his ranch would not be viable with a
herd that small.
The BLM claims a need to control grazing on the land to protect
an endangered desert tortoise. But Loesch and others note that
in August, the tortoise population in a nearby conservation
center was set to be euthanized because of underfunding.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service denied those reports, saying
that only unhealthy tortoises would be euthanized and others
would be relocated. But KVVU-TV in Las Vegas reported that the
agency didn't say how many of the tortoises in its care were
deemed "healthy."
Further, Loesch reports, Harry Reid pressured the BLM to change
the tortoise's protected zone to accommodate developer Harvey
Whittemore, one of the Democrat's top donors. Whittemore was
convicted in May 2013 of making illegal campaign contributions
to him.
"BLM has proven that they’ve a situational concern for the
desert tortoise as they’ve had no problem waiving their rules
concerning wind or solar power development," Loesch writes.
"Clearly, these developments have vastly affected a tortoise
habitat more than a century-old, quasi-homesteading grazing
area. If only Clive Bundy were a big Reid donor."
