Is this a joke?

It first refers to a Kasier study from...2003 to show costs of the ACA are making people drop coverage and raise premiums. Well before Obama was even elected, let alone the ACA was passed. I guess Obamacare can go back in time and make premiums rise and coverage decline well before it existed.

The also "cite" an self funded independant study that it will rise, which is no where to be found, while actually citing a publically published HHS study in 16 states that rates and costs will fall. I guess their study of a guy, a couple beers, and a computer compared a peer reviewed published study...and theirs wins because they say so.

I know people are looking for absolutely anything to go after the ACA after 40 attempts to repeal it, but it's insulting to give this little effort.

Wait til the early retiree boomers minimize their annual incomes to get 'free' coverage courtesy of the taxpayers. Not to menton those regular welfare leeches on the dole. And then the healthy 20 & 30 somethings just paying the fines.

They'll be calling this the Unaffordable Leech Act before long.

The ACA was in the planning phase for YEARS before Barack was elected. The Democrats were waiting for the time to inflict it on the country. They found their patsy with Barack who was eager to sign it. Those HillaryCare meetings in the 1990's were the birth of this takeover.

The republicans created this plan back during the Clinton Admin. Mitt Romney, a republican made it happen in Massachusetts. The reason Obama put forth this plan, with the help of the insurance companies, was to get republicans on board.
