80% of those insured are insured through their employers. For them, there is nothing to sign up for and nothing much changes. What does change is children aren't kicked off their plan at 19 and if the employee wants to quit and become self-employed, he or she wouldn't have a pre existing condition denying coverage.

Narcissistic leftists beg for handouts for THEMSELVES then pretend it's for someone else.

Hopefully, they're all living near other leeches when the SNAP cards stop working.

Obamacare isn't a handout. It's insurance regulations. It also has shown to lower the cost of premiums, which is why the right wing hates it. It works.

The ACA is the Law. It's going into effect and over the next couple years the American people will more fully realize that the RW nonsense about was just that, nonsense. Right now we are just seeing a massive repub effort to work up their base against that reality hoping that will help them in 2014. It may or may not, depending on how well the ACA reality is perceived. But, the gop sees this tactic their only hope so as they say, "when in a corner".

Self-centered, avaricious right-winger rhetoric refuses to admit ACA's benefits due to a corrupted moral code, that places their own money over other human beings. And the worst that it can say about ACA is that it reflects a higher moral standard than some people want for the nation.
A round of applause for this post.

It is unreal the things people find to say about Obamacare and the "horrors" it will impose on the nation. Holy moly people, open your minds! In two weeks there WILL be actual numbers to compare, and it may very well be that people are pleasantly surprised. I can't wait.

I'm the manager of a small business now struggling to provide our three employees with healthcare coverage. We pay 100% of the premium and plan to continue to do so, because it's a critical benefit for our staff. Our three employees live in different states which makes it difficult to find a plan that works for all of us. I'm very excited to see what the individual exchanges will offer in our states, because if it makes sense we'll be able to drop our expensive NY group plan and simply pay the premiums for our employees' individual plans.

More flexibility, more affordability, more convenience and effectiveness for our employees. And this is ONLY possible because of the ACA.

Obamacare IS a handout for those not paying the full cost.

Math would be one of the remedial subjects that a leftist could take, but it probably wouldn't help their cognitive disorder.

There are those that don't have insurance because they don't want to pay premiums.
I'd wager they wont' sign up and won't pay the fine either.

He, like most of us 60 plus people are affected the least by Obamacare. Those that voice outrage over it, are simply swallowing the false rhetoric of the desperate Repubs trying to survive their impending political demise.
