Health Reform: Key provisions of the president's health care reform are about to take effect. Don't expect any of it to be pretty.
It turns out that — as predicted by health experts, and reported on this page — ObamaCare will make health insurance premiums rise rather than fall. This and other unpleasant truths are revealed in a new report from two Republican senators, which charges that "when measured against the administration's own stated goals, the new health law fails to address the top health care concerns of the American people."
Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and John Barrasso of Wyoming are the only two members of the U.S. Senate with M.D.s, and their prognosis in the report, titled "Bad Medicine: a Check-up on the New Federal Health Law," is far from good.
"Independent experts have found that the new health law will increase the cost of health insurance and health care services," the two doctor-senators say, noting the Congressional Budget Office concludes that "premiums for millions of American families in 2016 will be 10%-13% higher than they otherwise would be. This represents a $2,100 increase per family, compared with the status quo."
Two thousand dollars more? Did something hidden in the 3,000 pages of the ObamaCare bill, which the White House and leading congressional Democrats moved heaven and earth to get passed, make those evil health insurers even greedier?

The analysis of increased costs under Obamacare doesn’t even cover half the story: INCREASED TAXES TO PAY FOR THE ALBATROSS!
“...Nancy might want to be careful. She’s 70...”
I would add that she’s 70 and, obviously proven to the American people that she’s senile and quite evil.
Ditto!
We already have Republicans who refuse to state that they will repeal it. Evil knows no party.
Any gutless, spineless, eunuch Republican that will not repeal the second Holocaust must be voted out in disgrace. They’re on a power trip and part of Obama’s Gestapo.
That is why it is called Obamascare the crappy kinda of healthcare that is native to Ciba. thanks so much Obozo. Thanks for nothing you good for nothing. Go back to Kenya and stay there you fricking moron
I just saw an ad for an Atty General candidate (for GA), Sam Olen, I think, and one of his points was he would lead a lawsuit against Obamacare.
I was so glad to hear someone actually campaigning on that!
It can't happen soon enough!!!! I just hope it does happen, I don't know if the country can survive much more of these fools.
My premiuim just jumped 20% last month.
FFFFFUUUBBBOOO!!!!!

ObamaCare was intended from the get-go to become a nightmare.
In spades!
Ah, but the elite always exempt themselves from the laws they pass for us common proles. Our ruling class is so important that it must have the best of everything.
Obama’s DeathCare reminds me of Nazi Germany and the elimination of select segments of the population. The coming genocide of the elderly and disabled by Obama/Pelosi/Reid’s Death Panels will usher in evil like this country has never seen. Count on it.
True. But this time we’ll take a whole lot of the evil
bastards down. They’d better have their Fuherbunkers!
What tastes better? Soylent Red or Solylent Green?
I don’t know...tell me. It sounds like I’ll get a kick out of the answer.
I would only add one word. NOW! Repeal it NOW!
Wrong.
The Dream is alive and well.
It's just that most people do not understand what The Dream is.
The dream is like the title says a Nightmare
Well, yes, The Dream IS a nightmare for normal Americans.
But it is wrong to say The Dream "turned into a nightmare".
Its nightmarish quality is the whole point of it.
