of course it will be up

with the UNCONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE of obamy when you are mandated to BUYING insurance that you cant afford or pay a cheaper fine..many more will for-go the insurance especially with the 'pre-existing' clause being gone...they will just get the insurnace only when they NEED it..making it more EXPENSIVE for us who are doing things the correct way

obamycare is an obamnation

imagine how many it would have been had the change not been made to kids up to the age of 26. The problem with the healthcare is that it hasn't abrobed the healthcare of the Congress Do that and it will be the best program around.

It also keeps insurance companies in the mix.... bad mistake.

Overall it is a good starting point on which we can improve.

Obamcare wasnt designed to get people insurance.. It was designed to encourage people to not have it and pay a tax...

I don't think you "thought". You read or heard it somewhere and ran around with it, now believing it actually happened.

So Obama didnt spend nearly a trillion on a stimulus bill? Are you now claiming the government, including Obama is lying to us and it didnt actually happen?
