I guess your expecting other people to pay for your care when you land in the hospital and bankrupt on your medical bill. How conservative of you.

ObamaCare has become a ruthless job-killer as was widely predicted by those who know better, much to the chagrin of the Obamaphiles who worship him and his intellectually bankrupt administration.

Hope they like this dead-in-the-water economy which is 100% theirs to have to defend this November as well as in 2016 thanks to their incompetence.

The most recent jobs report indisputably confirms what a disaster this 20,000+ page monstrosity continues to be year after year, so so much for any assertion that Democrats are friends of the little guy and minorities in particular; that's total hogwash.

How naive of you to think an insurance plan under the ACA will avoid bankruptcy due to medical costs.

Care to elaborate on those jobs? How many were full time? How many were manufacturing jobs? How many were service related jobs? Numbers don't always mean a lot.

And 47 Million Americans still don't have "insurance."

What is the cash-surrender value of your policy?

Which part of Obamacare fines or penalizes hospitals engaging in price-fixing?
Which part of Obamacare fines or penalizes hospitals engaging in price-gouging?
Which part of Obamacare fines or penalizes hospitals engaging in over-billing?

To date......not one single Obamacare supporter has even had the guts to address those issues.

In the alternative:

If Obamacare allows hospitals to engage in price-fixing, how does that make healthcare affordable?
If Obamacare allows hospitals to engage in price-gouging, how does that make healthcare affordable?
If Obamacare allows hospitals to engage in over-billing, how does that make healthcare affordable?

Explain how a $55,000 appendectomy that probably only costs $2,890 is affordable?

See the silly Liberals.....see how they run....

Where's the right wing plan and legislation?

Exactly. Only offer criticisms, no meaningful solutions from the right or "Free Market".

Our free market did work befire the ACA. No one with an emergency could be turned away. Now people who used to have good heath care have high deductible and high copay plans with limited physician panels.

But now people who had no healthcare because of predetermined issues or whatever....have it now. And the people you say that had good health care really didn't. When you pay little you get little.

What good does that do you if you can't find a doctor who will accept your health insurance plan?
