Where is the working part of Obamacare? I must of missed it. Are you talking about employers stopping to Kay healthcare because of huge increase in costs because of Obamacare causing their employees to collect government subsidies that are payed for my other tax payers? Is that success?

Exactly what many of us said would happen when this thing was being shoved down our throats in the first place. Now the liberals are scrambling for excuses and how much more wonderful it will all be to be handed off to the government so we can all pay for it instead of the folks employers contributing to it. When the cluster comes to fruition THEY will all declare THEY can fix it of course. LOL

I bet if you just asked those folks who were told they were getting their healthcare taken away not one of em would be cheering about how it's working so well.

We'll all have to be happy with a lot less. Obama's screwing you like everybody else but blame the other guys, not the dunce in chief.

That’s because subsidized coverage can have a lower out-of-pocket cost for the insured employee while also providing better benefits than an employer-paid plan.
Under the Affordable Care Act, part-time employees are not eligible for health insurance subsidies if their employer offers insurance.

And just who is footing the bill for that "subsidy" now ?
It was supposed to be the employers but they got a 2 year reprieve.

Employers dropping insurance was part of the plan ?

It's a lose-lose just like anything Obama conceives.

If your definition of working is making more people more dependent on the .gov and redistribution of wealth then it seems to be working perfectly. It's a freekin' scream, mahhn!
