As the first comments to the article correctly state, the Democrats in Congress passed the Affordable Care Act in 2010 and partially paid for it by enacting $200 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage over 10 years. Now, that bill is here.

The ACA was a giveaway, designed to provide health insurance for "free" or heavily subsidized. Old, white people were not the people on Obama's mind.

In other words, Obama said: "F^(& you seniors."

I predict this will have an effect on the entire economy, including the stock market. We have 10,000 Baby Boomer retiring per day. As programs such as Medicare Advantage and others fall to the disease that is ObamaCare, they will be forced to withdraw retirement assets simply to alleviate their own suffering and pay more for decent medical care.

Paying thier fair share and in turn lowering thier standard of living and possibly putting most under government entitlements.

My accountant examining the records in a fraud case laughed and said of my business partner, “If he’s going to make up numbers somebody ought to tell him to always make it an odd number.” $37.19, for example.” So, they not only got their 7 million, they did slightly better and got 7.1 million. It should be easy enough to determine how many their really are. Eventually the real number will leak, hopefully in time for the 2014 elections.

As to keeping the Medicare number flat, that will be tantamount to killing the program as inflation is probably running 30%. For example, my post office box rate went from $74 last year to $94 this year. Gas hasn’t gone up much simply because there’s so much more of it this year. But I’m sure you’ve noticed food prices. So, keeping the Medicare rates the same will destroy the program.

"a late surge of ObamaCare enrollees surprised and electrified a party that had been beaten down after months of bad news associated with the healthcare law’s rollout.

If they had been running a soup kitchen rather than healthcare, what would that tell you about the food?

Egged on by Nanzi Pelosi, the Democratic-majority passed the Affordable Care Act by an historic straight party-line vote without even reading it. Then Dems got the wake-up call---they voted $200 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage. Old, white people were not the people O/Care was intended for.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE Remember when Oprah said America can't rest, until all those elderly white racists die? Followed by Obama honoring her w/ the Presidential Medal?

NO PROBLEM. OBAMA FACTORED THAT IN WAY BACK
IN 2008 WHEN HE INTROED THE HEALTHCARE OVERHAUL:

O/Care coordinates IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board---healthcare rationing---AKA Death Panels).

Officially installed as the “fifth branch” of govt, composed of hand-picked unelected members appointed by Obama:

1) It will make all important health care decisions by authorizing payment or not.

2) It is not funded by Congress and cannot have its budget reviewed or changed.

3) Its membership cannot be changed by future Presidents,

4) It cannot be repealed by Congress, except for a six month window in 2017.

5) Its decisions are not subject to judicial review.

6) It is not authorized by the Constitution, and is therefore immune to Constitutional processes.

The once great American Republic, designed to secure freedom, has been reduced to fighting over the spoils, plunder by the Uniparty. Neither the rat nor GOP wing exist to promote a FreeRepublic. The first and last purpose of the Uniparty is to secure power and wealth for its members.

But hey, just keep voting. That’ll reverse our totalitarian course, fer sure.

What’s amazing is that these people think the 7.1 million is a real number, then construct their story on that premise. They don’t have the slightest clue that they’re being scammed.

Turns out Obamacare is a tax-financed vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power w/ a multi-billion dollar slush fund.

The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).

And remember, taxpayers....once in the hands of the Dummycrat criminal hordes, the tax billions are untraceable..... In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion ----

===========================================

Q. Why all those O/Care delays and the recent enrolloment extension?

A. Because Sibelius is aiding and abetting Scumocrats to register enrollees as Democrats.....and helping Obama to wire- transfer tax dollars billions. .

Local couple upset after receiving pre-marked voter registration card from "Covered California" (Cali O/Care)
10news | 03-29-2014 | Preston Phillips / FR Posted by Kevin in California

A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from the state's Obamacare website, Covered California. Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party.

The ACA was a giveaway, designed to provide health insurance for "free" or heavily subsidized. Old, white people were not the people on Obama's mind.

The fact that old "rich white people" live longer than old poor persons of color is disturbing to liberals. However, one (of many) basic flaws underpinning Obamacare is that end result is not because persons of color don't receive as many mammograms or as much $100,000 chemotherapy as white people. It's a result of decades of behavior. That behavior might not cost any money to change, but it's extremely difficult to change.

Delusion.

How awful the media have become.

The Democratic-led Congress that passed the Affordable Care Act partially paid for it by enacting $200 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage over 10 years.

Wasn't it $500 Billion in 10 years....?

Like most of Obamacare accounting....they hired some ethnic minorities for the job....

Australian Aborigines....who count 1...2...3 ....many.
