My daughter and her husband were Dems before Obamacare and are now going to vote Republican because it has been so devastating to them.

1.1 million signups through two weeks, rough 1/3 are new customers.

Premiums only went up 4.4% in California on average, mine barely budged.

Death sprial? Keep dreaming, right-wingers.

Before my wife and I got married, I was paying out of pocket for her to have some insurance while she was in school. The montly payment TRIPLED after Obmamacare was passed.

I got her on my plan, and shortly therafter, my company annnounced that due to changes in the market, it would cover family members only if they do not have access to benefits elsewhere. Consequently, my wife is now stuck working per diem, because accepting a regular spot would mean that we would have to pay for benefits twice. There is no advantage in having some vacation and sick days.

A) I hate Obamacare
B) I hate Barrack Obama
C) I look at those who smugly turn their nose up at Republican voters as being either deadbeat parasites themselves, or, as Stalin called it, "useful idiots." Nothing more. If you are voting Democrat, you are voting to screw the middle class at every turn.

We told them what was going to happen, and it did. So how do was still have these borderline (?) retards still clinging to their socialist fantasies and acting like we are the problem?

Obama told them that he was going to fundamentally change the country, and he sure did. If everyone can agree that the Dems are altering the country, and the law remains wildy unpopular, then what exactly is the argument? Why would any middle class voters vote for Hillary?

Unfortunately, Obamacare is not going away. It is the law of the land, and will limp along regardless of how poorly it performs, who it puts out of business, who it taxes to death, who it screws out of quality coverage, etc.

The poor benenfit because they end of subsidized. The rich benenfit because they can vote Democrat and feel good about themselves with no change in lifestyle. The rest of us hardworking types are the ones who get screwed.

**** Obama, Pelosi, Reed, and the Democrat party and its braindead, parasitical voters.

Wonder how many of those new customers are on Medicaid?

If it cannot be financed... it will fail.

So, it will indeed fail.

It is worse than that. It was revealed at some point that a number of these "new enrollees" were people who signed up for dental insurance.

Why 7.1 Million Obamacare Enrollees Is Wrong

But the useful idiots will never be convinced.

It is basically a series of mandates, taxes and an exchange, so financing will not be a problem.

To get rid of this thing, we are going to have to win the presidency. Then we can destroy it via reconcilliation.

That is not true at all.

If enough healthy people do not sign up and UHC and other large providers pull out... the amount of revenue from those on the exchanges and those paying their "penalties" for not having insurance will not cover the costs of the medical bills and "subsidies". Period.

Go watch the 3rd video of Jim Cramer from the link in my first post. You obviously did not watch it or did not listen very carefully.
