What the Act does is in effect to increase the burden on fortunate people the healthy and wealthy to lift some burdens on the less fortunate: Healthcare is now a welfare program

Obamacare is destroying our healthcare and hurting our economy and employment. There is no defense for it.

One of Krugman’s winners is the bureaucracy. They are big winners.
To: Jack Hammer
[Actually, what the act does, Mr. Krugman, is to generate an enormous new bureaucracy which is staffed by yet another army of paper-shuffling morons sucking away on the public teat, while generating and consolidating another entire class of Americans beholden to socialism and ready to sell America down the toilet for a handful of nickels.]
Like Dodd-Frank, the “Stimulus,” the yet-to-be-passed Cap and Trade, ObamaCare is not about the public good. It is about creating more monolithic bureaucracy staffed with partisan union members. The bigger the government grows the more power the Democrats wield. “Affordable health care” is just a manikin in their dingy shop window.

Krugman must be spending a lot of time in Colorado these days. He’s either smoking dope, or he is just a dope.

Aww, look.....little Paul back out preaching to the choir.
Obamacare’s days are numbered....The popularity of it is continually in the toilet.....and that isn’t changing.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
So the people that have taken care of themselves and their families are the losers and those that have let their lives run to sh!t are the big winners.
Liberal utopia.
I don't need to see the end of this movie, I know how it turns out.

What the Act does is in effect to increase the burden on fortunate people So you ADMIT that 0bamacare is an income redistribution scheme, in public, is that correct, Mr. Krugman? You just said it out loud, for the world to hear.
Somehow liberals always find a way to weasel out of "class warfare" or "redistribution" accusations. Paul Krugman just admitted it right here, in print.
And Who the F$$$ Are YOU, or the Democrat Party, to decide that I should pay more because I'm healthy (for now - if you ever read "Animal Farm", the donkey eventually dies from over work)?
You can guarantee if I was ever able to confront Mr. Krugman face to face, he would insult me for being unwilling to help the poor, being part of the 1%, or whatever other slurs liberals use to change the subject.

Thanks Oldeconomybuyer. Party-line shill Paul Krugman:
So heres what you need to understand. The Affordable Care Act isnt magic it produces losers as well as winners. But its not black magic either, turning everyone into a loser. What the Act does is in effect to increase the burden on fortunate people the healthy and wealthy to lift some burdens on the less fortunate: people with chronic illnesses or other preexisting conditions, low-income workers.
