The tanning tax isn't working? Pre-existing condidtions are still being used to deny coverage? Kids under 26 are being kicked off a parent's policy? Face it. Obamacare is working fine. All you have here is a bunch of birther-level nonsense over temporary glitches in website coding and the fact that substandard policies made illegal three and a half years ago are at last being dropped by their issuers all at once instead of 10% at a time.

Default Things you are currently being told and don't believe

Almost anything coming out of Washington, D.C. from either side of the aisle. I'm an equal opportunity skeptic and a total independent. Also don't believe drivel like the post above coming from indoctrinated sycophants from either extreme period.

They will for as long as they continue to run massive trade surplsues with us. They have nothing else to do with the dollars you know.

Manufacturing jobs have been declining in ALL of the world's large manufacturing economies since the mid-1990's. US losses have been about average for the group.

How does your auto insurance work out in years when you don't have an accident? If you don't understand how insurance itself works, how are you able to tell that Obamacare isn't working? Just listen to Rush and go by what HE says?

There is a difference between spin and falsehood. It's discovery seems so far to have eluded you.

That the ACA will make insurance affordable.

I just went to sign up and the cheapest plan for me was 233 dollars a month with a subsidy of 51 dollars tax credit. I can't afford that.
