CBS: Millions of cancellations and skyrocketing costs the big problem of ObamaCare (CBS Video)

Advocates of ObamaCare have predicted that when the White House manages to fix the problems with the Healthcare.gov exchange, opponents will have expended all their firepower and will be left twisting in the wind. As CBS reported again this morning, that’s hardly the case — and the website is hardly the main problem with the program. In fact, the media attention on the website actually masks the biggest problems with ObamaCare, which are skyrocketing premiums and millions of people getting kicked out of the plans they chose:

But people across the country are finding out they’re losing their existing insurance plans under Obamacare because requirements in the law, such as prenatal and prescription drug coverage, mean their old plans aren’t comprehensive enough.

Now that the website is back up, they will see what their costs are really going to be. If they were angry then, just wait till they get the bills!.......................

Obama said that if you like your health plan, you could keep it.

Obama said that premiums would decrease $2500 per year for an average family.

So, we see skyrocketing premiums, and millions seeing policies terminated.

This comes from CBS news. I know some liberals automatically discount any reports from Fox, for example, because of the source. But, if a reliable liberal media source such as CBS is reporting this, will the liberals give it more credibility????

Listen. The left doesn’t care. All they care about is that it gives ‘free’ health insurance to the ‘poor.’

BTW, that goal could have been reached at a much lower cost. So that isn’t the goal. It’s equalizing everyone’s misery. They hate it that one person has a great health plan, while another has a lousy plan.

And they are hypocrites, cuz their own plan is much better than ours, and they don’t pay for it at all.

Once the media can no longer sugarcoat what a disaster Obamacare truly is, they're going to have to figure out some way to blame it all on Republicans.

Indeed. An upper level computer science class at any major university could fix this website in just a few days. Amazon, Ebay, Facebook, etc.. There is NO possible way any website is so badly coded that it cannot be fixed in just a few days. Healthcare.gov could be scrapped and recoded with open source code to function in an acceptable manner.

Team 0bama was delusional about their promises up and until the rates became a reality at the website. At that point, they feared repercussions. Liberals are delusional.

This is a Soros-sponsored and written Bill. Congress MUST investigate WHO wrote this Bill. 'Center for American Progress'? Not good.

UNLESS they, the left, have to pay for it! As we've seen in myriad quotes over the last few weeks, all these self-righteous lefties have been whining about the fact that THEY are on the hook for the money. All those blubbering idiots expected the "evil rich Republicans" to foot the bill!

A mocking “If you like your plan, you get to keep it,” should be the default GOP response to any media question about ObamaCare.
