[Cincinatus' Wife]

Obama's aides would not speak to the Trib with their names used for this story. The White House emailed transcripts of press conferences to defend the president's position, attributing the remarks to Obama: “The majority of people in the individual market today qualify for discounted or free health coverage when signing up for coverage through the Marketplace. One study found that 48 percent of people who buy insurance through the individual market will get a tax credit that averages at over $5,500. And 1 million in the individual market today will qualify for Medicaid in states that choose to expand it next year.”

What study - another hand-picked university study, in the same vein as the continually discredited global warming "studies?") -- "scientific" studies continually churned out by those Big Government compliant university departments (bought and paid for) to push and support more and more legislation, regulation and taxes -- grow government, shrink liberty!? One of THOSE studies?

How can there be a study when there hasn’t been a sample size large enough to conduct a study, and the fact that the numbers are state secrets?

[Cowboy Bob]

I think Obama should be pressed to name the “bad apples.”

As people switch coverage under Obamacare, they should get lower costs and more benefits, she said.

"Should" and "will" are two completely different concepts. I'm betting on "higher costs and less benefits".

“Bad apple insurers”

To be fair, it was Great Satan George Bush who got them to sell their souls.

[Bernard]

Highmark mailed about 40,000 cancellation notices, said spokeswoman Kristin Ash. As people switch coverage under Obamacare, they should get lower costs and more benefits, she said.

So basically what this Kristin is saying is that Highmark was selling a policy that was too expensive and did not provide enough services for the price. But under a government program intended to pay for insuring the uninsurable, the price will go down. Suuuuuuuure.....

[Gaffer]

That $5,500 tax credit this study cites probably is EITC....

[Ann Archy]

There’s only ONE Bad apple in this mess, and it’s name is OBAMA!!!

[Venturer]

Does it really matter how many will receive subsidized health care and how many qualify for free health care?

What really matters is that someone, has to pay for it.

Now who are the someone’s who are going to pay for the Freebies and the Subsidies?????????

Middle Class Americans who Obama has already bled dry.
Working Americans who are the future of America

Not drones who have been collecting America’s goodies for years.

We have already passed the tipping point and are on our way to bankruptcy, led there by a Kenyan Muslim Doper who cannot pass a Security check.

[Jumper]

“The majority of people in the individual market today qualify for discounted or free health coverage when signing up for coverage through the Marketplace." -- Notice that the "majority" is uninsured Americans - since today everyone's had their policy's cancelled unless you work for a Federal Agency.

[Hardastarboard]

the accusation that “bad apple” insurers exist

Perhaps the Left would be so kind as to name a couple of these explicitly, so that they can be avoided? I thought not.

It’s common knowledge that when Karl Rove wasn’t operating his bad weather machine, he was selling ‘bad apple’ health insurance policies.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Toilet bowl time in 2014 and 2016 for Elitist Politicians in DC and elsewhere, ya think?

[Peet]

Can someone tell me are these “bad apple insurers” related to the doctors that cut off healthy limbs out of greed?

(Obowelmovement is insane.)

[what's up]

Obama said. “And there are a number of Americans — fewer than 5 percent of Americans — who've got cut-rate plans that don't offer real financial protection in the event of a serious illness or an accident.

Obama's lying again. These plans offered financial protection.

Their owners considered them adequate. Why on earth would they have bought them if they didn't offer protection?

[JohnBrowdie]

It depends on what the definition of “is” is.
