Sigh. 62% of bankruptcies were for medical reasons. Of those...75% of those folks had insurance. So yeah he is right. those were people who thought they were insured on a really inexpensive plan.

That didnt REALLY cover them.

That being said....he needs to step up and say "OK yeah a lot of plans went away on this, more then we were expecting, I was wrong when I said X"

Yes I voted for him, no I don't regret it. Get a moderate Republican up and I might vote for him. Huntsmen was good (yes I know you all hated him) and I might have voted for him. Romney was a freaking nightmare.

I learned a long time ago to watch what a person does rather than listen to what they say. Actually his move to communism in this country is going more slowly than I thought it would. If you have been on city-data reading my posts, you were warned. Of course most people chose to call me names and laugh at me rather than listen.

Bankruptcy laws allow folks who "don't" want to pay their bills a way out. IF you want to pay your bill you can work out a payment plan. The slugs don't want to pay. So they let us pay.

So, what is the genius going to do about the newly created 14 million MORE uninsured? The exchanges can't even handle the volume they have now without crashing daily.

How about people who did the right thing and sacrificed to privately purchase insurance to cover their family so as not to be a burden to society and can show they had insurance in place before Obamacare took it away get higher income limits for subsidy? Sort of a thank you from Uncle Sam for at least trying to do the right thing.

This is a "talking point", not a fact.

What are they gonna do? Steal your tax return? If they do that the democrats will be toast. They are in the business of giving money out for no reason. Hell they will probably offer up a bill handing anybody money who is upset with Obamacare to get votes next year. That is all they do.............throw OUR money around and blame everybody else for the disasters they cause. They should all be jailed.

I heard him mumble something about substandard plans before I found the remote. He's such a condescending ass, my plan is a good one.

He lied to every American and half of them are fine with it. They're the people who want you and me to support them while they also lie to America on websites like c-d.

It's time to take out the trash.

Yeah - one of the hallmarks of the phony coverage plans touted is astronomical deductibles and sky-high out-of-pocket medical expenses. But, ya know - $98 dollars a month! It's all good!
