There isn't an eye roll hard enough for that one, Jim. You guys are really turning into a parody of yourselves.
No, you just go around whining about the 1 percent, and then defend the know-nothings as being the people who MUST MAKE OUR DECISIONS FOR US.
You whine about Wall Street, even though they can't touch you. Yet, even LESS DESERVING millionaires you demand be given the power of life, death, and every important decision in everyone's life.
Obama's an ignorant, coddled, immature know-nothing who lies more than a sociopath... Yet, you hang on his, and his sycophants' every word.
Did you rightwing low information Foxbots even read the study?
Because if you did, you would have seen that national healthcare spending is projected to increase at about the same rates that it HAS been increasing since long before Obama was even in office.
Have all the proponents of Obamacare, "ACA", kept up to date with all flaws that are appearing? Employer health care is for the EMPLOYEE only, if the employee wants to cover the family, that's out of pocket.
People are getting their hours cut to 29 or less, so they don't qualify as a full time employee. Employees are getting cut so employers have fewer employees so they won't be required to provide healthcare.
MY insurance is supposed to go up 36% this year. Healthcare costs are not going up 36%.
Seems to me that the Affordable Health Care Act, isn't so affordable.

Not mine. You may want to find a job with better benefits, if your skills and talents will let you.

I checked the math. That's exactly what this hit piece did.
Pghguest, these people are brutal aren't they, assume, assume, they will say anything as long as they aren't hurting, but once it hits home, boy oh boy, they will be the first to cry.
Funniest quote of the day coming from a right winger who is so dense she can't even see the irony of her lament. Your buddies in the House just voted to cut food stamps by $40 billion. No compassion for how much those people are hurting, huh? But to use your own words, once it hits home, as in, someone you know being affected, boy oh boy, YOU are the first to cry.
The Obamabots won't even read the article. They will hide their heads in the sand and keep arguing that the Affordable Care Act is actually affordable just because their King told them so.

They aren't the ones who will be paying for it. Some love a plan that gives free unlimited health care that others will pay for.

I don't define compassion as having Congress spend money.
I define it as helping my neighbor.
You have a truly insane definition of "compassion".
Oh, I lied, did I? Where is Joe Wilson when you need him?
OK, have it your way. I will go forward assuming that you are willing to actually believe that Canada spends roughly $63,000 per capita on healthcare.
