Good, the only silver lining of this failure known as Obamacare is that many of the people who have blindly defended it all this time are the very same people who are going to hurt the worst by it.
Elections have consequences and you morons caused this, enjoy your "free" healthcare idiots.
Yes, it's poetic justice. A year ago, people could have elected a man who would have got right to work destroying this horrible legislation and worked relentlessly to rebuild our economy.
Instead, they chose a man with a proven failure record who has done absolutely nothing for the economy except push this law onto the people creating an enormous financial burden. Great going, idiots.
People then and now, have no idea what this legislation has wrought upon us and anyone who says they understand the 2000 pages and 10500 new regulations that is obamacare,is a liar.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports on the oh-so-ironic reversal of Sue Klinkhamer, 60, who used to work for Rep. Bill Foster (D-Ill.), who lost his seat partly because voters didn't want Obamacare. Klinkhamer wrote her old boss:
“I spent two years defending Obamacare. I had constituents scream at me, spit at me and call me names that I can’t put in print. The congressman was not re-elected in 2010 mainly because of the anti-Obamacare anger. When the congressman was not re-elected, I also (along with the rest of our staff) lost my job. I was upset that because of the health care issue, I didn’t have a job anymore but still defended Obamacare because it would make health care available to everyone at, what I assumed, would be an affordable price. I have now learned that I was wrong. Very wrong.”
On September 1 of this year, Klinkhamer was paying $291 a month for an insurance policy with a $3,500 deductible. Those days are over, though, as of December 31, when her policy goes away.
I suppose I'm supposed to feel sorry for these people, but I do not. That's what they get for voting for that idiot in chief. As someone else here always says, "elections have consequences". I'm glad it is hurting people's pocket books. Maybe next time they'll use their damn brains before they cast their vote.

Its actually worse than that...
People understood that ACA meant 26 year olds would be under their parents plans, they understood pre-existing conditions needed to be covered, they understood no caps on care, they understood new taxes, they understood much of the bill, but what I'll never understand is how the hell they thought all of this meant lower premiums..
London — The National Health Service has hired as its new head a former Labour adviser who currently works for a US private healthcare company.
Simon Stevens is president of global health and group executive vice-president at UnitedHealth and was chief executive of UnitedHealth's Medicare company.....
Trade union Unison's head of health Christina McAnea said she was "surprised" that no one within the NHS had been found to take the role.
McAnea told BBC Radio 4's Today programme she is "somewhat concerned that this may send out a message ... is this the Tory and Lib Dem Government hoping to import America-type values into the NHS, a sort of insurance-type system?"
Serves liberals right.. they voted unanimously for Obama and his pet goat Pelosi! They just received a token of Obama's gratitude.. They voted for him and now they are no longer useful. The landscape is littered with the casualties of Obamacare and the body count is climbing.
