‘I like you Obama, but I’m broke’: Americans upset that Obamacare costs money
The Daily Caller ^ | October 8, 2013 | Katie Howland and Whitney Waters

Posted on 10/09/2013 2:31:23 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Obamacare’s been stumbling along at quasi-full force for over a week now, and for some Americans, the Affordable Care Act is not all it was cracked up to be:

Justin Gaines @justing1284

I checked out an Obamacare exchange and it impressed me.. Until I saw the lowest premium for me was 3x what I am paying now

No..Any copy I made splits..I already tried that....even copying to my own e-mail won't work..it breaks all up...

And of course it would be so..it's Government programming etc!!

What I did was just keep the window up and just pressed each left margin number...which gives you the costs..I hand wrote mine down...

There are basically only two in my area(surprise surprise) but they're offering several...however...easy to see they aren't at all competitive as Obama said...Being single the lowest..and that's for catastrophic coverage...is about $200 monthly....everything else is over $400 monthly upwards.

It's a sad commentary on everything Obama said...and is exactly what we've said all along...it's a scam to generate revenue to the gov. and that's all it is...not to mention the insurance companies taking their cut!

So much for paying all the deadbeats healthcare!

It's a disaster no matter how you look at it...and it will fail pushing us all into one payer government system when this is done!!!

How many homeless are sleeping in parks & under bridges? And they are supposed to sign up on a computer?

I have a very old computer & am on a land line. I cannot keep on hold for an undetermined amount of time. The ISP provider shuts me off.

I don’t intend to even try, anyway.

Of course they want it done by election.....but there’s no way..even with subsidies that people can afford this...no way.

There will be a huge ground swell against this....if not...then this nation people deserves all that will come from it.

There’s many who aren’t even going to try and sign up...the link I gave lets you view without signing in....I wish i could print something and put it up here...but I tried and the copy breaks off and blurrs on top of each entry.

You forgot that most of those under bridges have mental health major issues and or drug addicts. I doubt they even know or care. Probably will be deemed another “Exempt group!

Did you hear Selibus say that citizens have a year just like business to delay...then she said just pay the penalty and you have a years delay!....LOLOLOLOL

At this point I’m doing nothing about it.....gathering information and then get a medical lawyer to help...I don’t want to pay but better an attorney then one of those ‘three day trained’ navigators, who BTW have incentives to sign people up and know little about what they are doing.....who could easily be the ones from prison Obama has allowed to become Navigators.

Makes you wonder how many people will work with their employers to be paid under the table and bypass the entire government on everything!

HEck the people on disability constantly take wok under the table while they collect....had a couple across the street from me...both on disability yet both worked.

Yep the price sucks but so does the coverage !

Wait til it's discover that free trips to the emergency room for a bad cold are O-VAR. And that doctors aren't going to be accepting as many new patients... and that Obama and Holder will start using quotas...

Every doctor will be forced to take "x" number of new patients - and all of them must be black or Hispanic until every doctor's practice reflects current demographics.

Yeah, it could happen here.

If you include the idiots in congress of both parties that voted for this train wreck, you’ve got my support. They’ll be forced to have it and pay for it and the rest of us will be free... Love it.

This is sick. They are still worshipping the despot. But this behavior is not unprecedented. When Stalin died in 1953, even many of the prisoners in Gulags, the ones sent to the camps by Stalin and his henchmen, mourned the death of their Great Leader.

Yep. I heard her say that. On a replay. What a pompous witch...sure, you can get your waiver...just like our Fat Cat buddies...but, YOU have to pay a fee!

What's good for me, isn't good enough for thee!

As far as I’m concerned, it’s a deal. Including the riding-high congressmen who voted for it but thought they would wiggle out of having to endure it while shoving it off on us peons. They kept crowing about how great it would be, they can lead the way.

Please add the proper punctuation to your new tagline. The original Ebonics speaker doesn’t know how to use periods.

I’ve passed the digusting hatred mode for these bimbos....the whole lot of them!

We need to get them ALL out and start over...let’s do like Egypt did....it’s the only way we’ll get out of the darkness we have going on in this nation....waiting til 2014 is not going to hold til then!
