U.S. President Barack Obama’s socialized medicine law has been one lie after another …
It was sold to the American people as a deficit-reducing measure – one which would lower health insurance costs without raising taxes. Obama himself told us if we liked our existing plans we could keep them – and dismissively rebuked warnings about the law’s negative economic impact.
“They said this would be a disaster in terms of jobs,” Obama said last week. “There’s no widespread evidence the Affordable Care Act is hurting jobs.”
Really? Tell that to the Cleveland Clinic …
Virtually every major plank of the pro-Obamacare sales pitch turned out to be categorically false (just as we predicted). Additionally, the law is nowhere near ready to be implemented – as evidenced by multiple delays of its key provisions (which the Obama administration is extralegally adopting).
Obamacare’s launch has also been a bit of a cluster … with numerous glitches impacting its big unveil earlier this week.
Amidst all of this dishonesty, however, there is one shining example of “Obamacare truth.” Albeit inadvertent truth.
Specifically, we’re referring to the toll free number the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) rolled out this week in conjunction with the law’s launch.
That number? 1-800-318-2596.
Of course a funny thing happens when you spell the letters out …
1-800-3(F) 8(U) 2(C) 5(K) 9(Y) 6(O)
Wait … is this a joke? The official Obamacare hotline is “1-800-FUCKYO?”
Yup …
“Need health insurance?” The Daily Caller joked. “The Obama administration has you covered. Simply dial 1-800-FUCKYO to reach the next available health-care provider.”
“Tragically, the federal government, with all their power, couldn’t trade the 1 out for another 8 at the end,” the website Hot Air added. “Then, the President’s true sentiment towards all of you would be much plainer.”
Indeed …

Cute, but 382596 is six digits. The 1 cuts the “fuck” part in half.
Unless Obamacare is trying to channel Rick James, meh.

Having no letters, the one is silent.
My negro brotha Obama is reeling em all in on dis stuff!
There comes a point when you shouldn’t run stories just to fill space. This is an example of that.
OGOB – you are 100% correct . . . and it seems like there are lots of “space fillers” on this site . . .
A fucking men to that!
FITSNews wouldn’t be the same without its unique perspective and independent attitude. It’s one of the reasons they’re successful.
You shouldn’t be so critical of others having innocent fun. This is an example of that.
I had NO PROBLEM talking with this toll-free number last week and presume the problems are due to “overwhelming interest” in Obamacare.
WHY ELSE would the lines be busy??
The operator was VERY polite, nice and helpful.
I CAN’T WAIT TO SIGN UP !!!
Neither can my sister (married to a self-employed fellow).
WHOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At last you’ll be able to afford those mood stabilizer drugs.
Absolutely! Them too!
And Crestor for my cholesterol and Metformin for my diabetes.
I REALLY APPRECIATE the AMERICAN PEOPLE for RE-ELECTING Barak Obama, and the U.S. CONGRESS for passing the AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
Yosarrian, Nately, Dobbs, McWatt — even YOU, MAJOR MAJOR — can now get your medicines on the up and up.
Don’t need to sell our parachutes in Alexandria to scrounge up the money.
Shifty prepared a script this morning before calling in. I was going to give the operator the benefit of my witty charm and then, just to be annoying, lay my renowned sarcasm on her. However, I was very pleasantly surprised when—
1) my call was answered in 3 seconds
2) the girl was polite and friendly and gave me the info I requested
3) she was so very, very sweet that I wanted to drag her through the line and make love to her right here in my living room……
