Now we have another woman in Michigan a mother of five who is complaining she is paying more for the ACA in a new ad. Trouble is she is another Tea Party operative.

"Wendt, incidentally, is a Republican precinct delegate for Michigan’s 2nd congressional district. In June, she signed a toughly worded petition warning GOP lawmakers in the Michigan House of Representatives not to accept expansion of Medicaid or the creation of a health care exchange permitted under the Affordable Care Act—or face a suspension of “all monetary and logistical support.” The petition sought to bind the Republicans to the themes of the party’s 2012 platform that declared the law was an “attack on our Constitution” and an “attempt to impose upon Americans a euro-style bureaucracy.”

Now Wendt is probably saving hundreds if not thousands on the ACA and is complaining just like Julie Boonstra. Why not just roll out geezers complaining about their Medicare?

Big claims, few details in anti-Obamacare ad alleging soaring costs
I bet you can make a highly successful ad out of this for 2014. Double down on Obamacare! Be sure to include the word 'geezers' for maximum positive impression on voters.

Only total idiots are still supporting Obamacare at this point.

Even the Dem Pols are running as fast as they can away from it.

Soaring Prices, Not Demand, Behind Massive Hike in U.S. Health Spending

Soaring Prices, Not Demand, Behind Massive Hike in U.S. Health Spending - US News

Nobody can "save" on health care when absolutely nothing was done to address the cost side. There may be some who are able to get others to pay a portion of their costs but those costs are going to have to be paid which means many are going to pay far, far higher costs for our health care which is exactly the opposite of what was claimed.

There are liars here but it is those who foisted Obamacare on us from behind closed doors.

If government can make something "affordable" through legislation, why not housing, cars, food....

I could be wrong, but a few years ago I thought I read that Obama wanted people to be able to purchase their prescription drugs from Canada, where they are so much cheaper. However, he was blocked from adding that to the ACA.

I wonder who/what was so insistent that that provision not be included?

He wasn't blocked from adding it. It didn't get added because the health/pharmaceutical/insurance companies wrote the legislation.

The latest poll on Americans showed that 40% don't even know that Obamacare is the law
