Georgia said that insurance premiums for a 25-year-old male currently in a high-deductible plan would rise up to 198 percent in 2014 and rates for many others could rise by 20 percent to 100 percent.

Indiana's department of insurance last week said that insurance costs to individuals under the Affordable Care Act would rise 72 percent.

Too many unwilling participants for it to succeed? Maybe.

Good. The next time many of these liberal idiots plan to vote for a Democrat, maybe they’ll think twice and then change their vote.

For some, you just can’t fix stupid. Therefore, let them pay for it.

I love it when a plan comes together - a ready made demographic that doesn’t traditionally turn out in mid year elections, getting primed for 2014. Let’s just hope the Stupid party doesn’t .... doh !!!

I received a rather contrite email from a health insurance company who had recently turned me down for a preexisting condition (cancer).
Now they're cheerfully emailing me how happy they would be to sign me up because they have to.

I wonder how affordable that is?

Young people overwhelmingly voted for the Bamboozler. Elections, as they say, have consequences.
