LIE.. Left wing talking point proven to be false for the most part..

Do you really think everyone is this stupid to believe the talking points you keep posting?

They were brought up to the minimum required standards of the new law. I don't want a policy that covers doctor visits or birth control or mental health screening or maternity or birth control pills. I want a plan that covers us if something serious and unexpected comes up. That's it.

But then again, I would think you're intelligent enough to see find the humor in the backfire or maybe you are just another partisan CDer who hates Obama no matter what.
Calling someone unintelligent is both rude and uncalled for. I am not into partisan name calling or choosing sides. I think that kind of thinking is a waste of time. I don't like the ACA for what it is, not because of who made it the law. I would be just as opposed if it was GW Bush who signed it or Bill Clinton or Rand Paul. It doesn't matter. It's about the issues.

Which is what I had but lost it..

I had a pretty good catastrophic policy, worked within my budget and protected my family in the event I got sick enough that I couldnt afford the bills. I lost it.

And rather than me paying into the system, thus helping to reduce costs for others, I'm now a "leach" per HeyJude because I'm now getting a government policy, because I cant afford what ACA made available, while she's not a "leach", because she's getting a government policy.

hypocrites..

Yeah, we lost ours as well and now have joined the ranks of the uninsured for the first time ever. So cool.

It would be humorous if no one was harmed by ACA but the CBO says 11 million lost policies, which I dont find humorous at all.

Well that equals 72 bucks a year. I would think with how much you far righties despise the breeders, you'd want free healthcare......?

Costs have risen more slowly from 2006 - 2013 (last year statistics were available) because THE ECONOMY SUCKED.
The economy is one factor, the other is ACA through efficiency and more accountable care organizations.

Health care spending grows at lowest-ever rate

Quote:
if they are expected to stay low, why are the subsidies expected to substantially increase over the next decade, from 60-85% depending on what CBO report you look at?
Who said anything about "low" besides you? Healthcare costs should rise more slowly. Do you think subsides would increase because more of the uninsured will be getting insurance? Seems the CBO is bullish on more states adopting ACA and the Supreme Court upholding it.

Then why have you constantly focused on the negative? Open-mindedness and a willingness to change one's mind is a hallmark of intelligence.

I've been impacted negatively by the ACA and I've been paying attention to what it was supposed to do vs what it is doing. If you are so open minded, why are you discounting anything negative?

We have over 300 million people in this country, there will always be millions of people who are adversely affected by such a sweeping legislation.

And I find it humorous a congresswoman's attempt to smear ACA backfired.
