No one likes Obamacare

Obamacare gives its insurance mandate teeth by taxes on those who don’t buy insurance and by fairly sizable tax subsidies for many who do. Those subsidies are set to total $100 million a year by 2017, Moore noted.

$100 million? That's about 30¢ for every person in the country. Maybe the author meant $100 billion.

[right way right]

Hey, there’s chunks of recycled corn in that.
Mmmmmm.

We (Congress) had to pass it to find out if we (the People) would like it.

[Salvation]

We told you so!

[BenLurkin]

Now it is obvious what Pelosi meant. "We have to pass it so we can before Americans find out what's in it.

[dayglored]

This guy talks like he’s read the law. If so, how come he still likes it? Is he nuts?

> $100 million? That's about 30¢ for every person in the country. Maybe the author meant $100 billion.

Gotta be, otherwise "fairly sizable" is an idiotic statement.

[right way right]

Summery: Now we have to implement it, to see what’s in it.

“I don’t ever expect a repeal of the Affordable Care Act—even if Republicans take control of the Senate and the White House by 2017”

This is what worries me. The guy just might be right unless we can get more Tea Party types in there.

I believe you’re right. $100 million is pocket change in the Beltway.

“$100 million? That’s about 30¢ for every person in the country. Maybe the author meant $100 billion.”

Hey, what’s the big deal about a few mis-statements and incorrectly cited facts among friends?

[bigbob]

Only an idiot would think that you could reduce the cost of something by giving it away for free to more people. And that’s why it’s called OBAMACARE.

[fortheDeclaration]

Bingo!

“Now it is obvious what Pelosi meant. “We have to pass it so we can before Americans find out what’s in it.”

Sort of like a kidney stone.

It is alright, ObamaCare has shown us that the outright cure for the health care system is to cause millions of people to lose their existing insurance, and then present replacement plans that cost hundreds of dollars more, and then, to soften the blow, take even more from the ‘rich’ (IE: anyone not already sucking at the government teat) and give it to those who would normally outright refuse any government handouts.

Yep, yep, this is working out just fine. Our group plan at work was just cancelled, so add four more to the legions of people who no longer will have insurance. Oh, look, two million people signed up! Five million lost their insurance! Obvious answer in the government’s view: ObamaCare is working!

We had to pay for this cr@p sandwich before we could know what our dear leaders put on this cr@p sandwich.

Mushy piece. Sounds to me like he’s trying to tell all those who are itching to get rid of this law to stop trying. Some like some things in it and don’t like others. There are some things to like and some not to like. Mush mush mush. An ooze waterfall directed at the ever-growing clarity of the tea party.
