Well, tell us who introduced the "Obamacare" bill. Obama himself?

I predict when some of these folks realize they still have a bill to pay they will simply refuse to pay it. Then what, debtor's prison?

Knuckleheads indeed. How about the ones who just got bribed to get Obamacare with a smartphone thanks to Obama, squealing lets keep Obama in office, I just got an Obamaphone!

Diane Sawyer was interviewing a few people with pre existing conditions who hardly can't wait to get the new health care since they stated it is great to get it for free....

If it wasn't so sad it would almost be hilarious to see they huge mess that will start tomorrow....

Even though I'm a republican I hope there will not be a government shut down so we can see in full force the huge mess....
No one ever said healthcare was going to be free.

Strawman fail.

But but but Obama said it would cost the same as my cable bill and less than my cell phone.
FACT CHECK: Slippery salesmanship from Obama on health care, dubious counterclaims from GOP - Washington Post

Obama: Under Obamacare, health care will cost less than your cell phone bill | InvestmentWatch

Now my wives smartphone costs us $80 a month. Our Sat. TV costs us $76 a month.
I have yet to see any estimates that less than double the cost of either bill.

TONS of people.
Yup and I am still trying to get a single liberal to post who is subsidizing their plans.. Just one.. All I want is for one honest liberal to post clearly and articulately where the money comes from and that's is not free.

Sure Skippy .. whatever you say


No insurance? Where to get free, low cost health care | HealthCare.gov


Quote:
Since President Obama has been emphasizing of late how inexpensive Obamacare will be for many Americans, advertising the availability of "free" health care might have been viewed as a deterrent to purchasing even the least expensive option from the government-run exchanges. Since the "bronze" and "silver" level plans that the president has recently been touting as equaling "the cost of your cable bill" and "less than your cell phone bill" will still entail significant out-of-pocket costs for medical care, "free" might still look more attractive to many on the lower end of the income scale.

This is the way insurance companies work .. it's been that way for years.
