Oh nad don't forget:



Remember Obama promising to reduce premiums $2,500 per family? Ha! ObamaCare will jack up premiums 4

Facts bob....yes, they suck for the left and you...
Let's see. No ACA 10 yrs of 10% premium increase per yr versu with ACA 10 yrs of 5% premium growtg per year. I would guess that would actually far exceed $2500 premium savings, don't you?

Just who did they thing was going to foot this bill ?
There is nothing free unless you call an annual checkup after you paid several thousand in premiums free. As far as the unlimited health care the insurance companies are still tracking who is in the hospital and are kicking people out just like in the past. You do have the third part right in that as many as 2 million previously high risk or uninsured were able to buy insurance without paying more. The pool of 8 million wasnt big enough and about 2 million people outside the 400%FPL ended up paying more. On average people didnt pay 49% more they probably paid a little less than they did before.

Only that's not happening.

Once ACA passed premiums rose by more than 10% annually.

But go ahead and ignore reality and cling to your CBO estimates from before ACA got passed.

It smacks of the same tired meme of blaming the rich, punish the rich, and blame GWB. Blaming Bush is getting old and tired. Will you still be blaming him for Hillary Clintons absolute failure?

Wealth is a finite thing. You can only take so much from the producers. Believe me when I say; I am no fan of the Koch brothers, Soros, Gates, or any of the uber wealthy political chess players. However, to believe that we should take even more from them to further subsidize the shortcomings of ACA is insanity. If you have to subsidize the affordable care act, even more than it already is, then it isn't affordable... period!



November won't make a difference if we only vote those who represent the puppet masters. I do agree that we'll be better off controlling the Senate, but don't underestimate the stupidity of the average voter.

The Obama cult are still deflecting and defending this administration even with ALL THE CRAP that's happening. I mean look up, they still blame Bush SIX YEARS LATER!

Gotta rep you for the blue above.

What was the plan sold on bob? Be honest with your answer, was it sold on it is going to save you money or was it sold on what you have stated above?

BTW 10% yearly increase over 10 years for me is less than $500 for me and my family........So you are wrong...

Not to mention, I had a co-pay go up 500%....yes that is 500% from Dec 2013 - Jan 2014....

For instance, in Decmeber my co-pay was $1 in January for that same script it was $5.....

I used low numbers so it was easy for the left to understand....

Republicans simply use Obamacare as a political weapon. But the fact is every industrialized country on this planet has a healthcare system like Obamacare. And conservatives refuse to do their part to fine tune Obamacare, and conservatives refuse to care about the 40,000 Americans who die each year from not having health insurance.

Here's a plan.

GW Bush gave $2.5 trillion dollars in tax cuts to the rich.
Bush Tax Cuts After 2002: June 2002 CTJ Analysis
http://www.ctj.org/pdf/gwbdata.pdf

Romney wanted to give the rich $6.6 trillion dollars in tax cuts.
Romney's Economic Plan Includes $6.6 Trillion Tax Cut For The Rich And Corporations | ThinkProgress

Tax cuts like those decrease government revenues, grow our national debt, and give the rich more money to build US factories in Asia.

Why not get those tax revenues from the rich, and then use some of that money and help those hurt by Obamacare?

And then have conservatives fine tune Obamacare.
For the uneducated. There were no tax cuts for the rich. Everybody got a tax according to their earnings. I really wish that canard would be put to rest.

No one know the real market cost of exchange polices because the cost are based on actuary estimates assuming projections that have to come true. Like all cost we will know what it is after claims and cost come in next year. Insurance is always behind a year in determining cost.
