For those who believed the GOP fantasy that Obamacare was going away, perhaps it is time to do some learning .......

Yeah, that should contribute to its popularity.

The fines will increase every year.

Just remove the subsidies and keep the mandates and fines in place for a year or two. Then see how popular it is.

Yep, it is difficult to get some people to learn what is best for most all people, huh?

Don't you love it when your government tells you what is best for you.

I do like it when Govt does act in all our best interests, instead of just the privileged few which is too often the case.

Oh brother that is some logic you have there. Lets see, the IRS is collecting the penalty and that proves Obamacare is never going away Did you ever stop too think that the SC could squash the subsidies to states that did not set up a exchange. What would happen if in 2016 if the {R}s won the WH and held both houses? Good bye Obamacare.

The next time the government acts in all of our best interests will be the first time the government has acted in all of our best interests.

You still believe that Obamacare is in the best interests of anyone other than the privileged few? How naive.

The insurance companies are making a fortune off of Obamacare by selling Bronze plans to people who will never be able to pay out the $5,000+ deductible required for those Bronze plans to even start paying for anything other than preventive care. In other words, those plans that we are all paying for with subsidies are for the most part absolutely useless to the people who buy them with our money. Exactly how is that helping anyone other than the insurance providers?

Had the ACA been meant to act in our best interests, it would have done what its name implies, which is to make health care more affordable.

That is a solid point where people are so poor all they can afford is the bronze plan and it is useless unless major health problem or accident. I won't do the bronze plan and pay the insurance companies for nothing. This year I had 2 choices in the silver plans that I could afford that actually had coverage. Last years plan which I was happy with went from 100 to 181 and thus was out of my range even with the subsidies.

The government NEVER acts in your best interest. Ever.

It acts in the interests of the politicians.
