Earlier this week, bad news arrived in mailboxes across New Jersey, as people discovered their health-insurance plans had been wiped out by ObamaCare. Plans that didn’t measure up to the mandates imposed by the Affordable Care Act were being canceled, despite President Obama’s infamous vow that “if you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”
How many folks in New Jersey were affected by this latest failure of Obama’s campaign promises? Oh, only about eight hundred thousand or so.

Well heck who needs health insurance anyway? Just show up at the ER whenever you need something. Illegal aliens do it all the time.

What’s Christie think about that?
All your base are belong to us.
You are right in your equation as it stands. Now add in hospitalization.
800,000.
Nice!
But I suppose the thrill is gone...

Bama ping.
“Bend over and spread them Chris and squeal like a pig .... it gives me a thrill when I hit those fat crackas”.
“You are right in your equation as it stands. Now add in hospitalization.”
Traditional hospitals are so regulated that they will never be cost competitive. They can’t play that game. But surgery clinics can and do. The several times I’ve been to them they cost only a fraction of what the hospital charged. The problem is you can’t STAY in one. It’s in and out only. But that might change in time.
I have been wondering if the Indians can build hospitals on tribal land...the heck with casinos - medical will be where the money’s at.
Why cant he be sued for fraud. If any other person went on tv and promised something and it didnt deliver, word for word what they promised they can be sued for fraud!

I am in NJ..when I explained this fact to a Lib friend..he calmly explained to me the reason for this is not because of Obamacare but of Gov Christie’s failed leadership as governor
chasing the insurance companies away!
