Why are some Democrats running from Obamacare?
CNN ^ | April 18, 2014 | Halimah Abdullah

Posted on 04/18/2014 9:30:06 PM PDT by Rennes Templar

Washington (CNN) -- The Obamacare enrollment is 8 million strong and growing. Polls have shown that voters love popular provisions calling for mandatory coverage for maternity care and extending coverage for young people up to age 26 to stay on their parents' health insurance policies. And recent figures from the Congressional Budget Office show that Obamacare will cost about $5 billion less to implement in 2014 than originally estimated.

Still, some Democrats have run from the President's signature health care reform law so fast, they've practically left skid marks. The question is: Will they run back?

~snip~

Last November, the Obama administration struggled to recover from the rocky rollout of the health care website and explain why the President broke a promise that people who prefer their insurance could keep it under the law. On the campaign trail, vulnerable Democrats are dogged by questions about Obamacare.

"There is no doubt that our failure to roll out the ACA smoothly has put a burden on Democrats, whether they're running or not, because they stood up and supported this effort through thick and thin," Obama said at Thursday's news briefing. He added that he feels "deeply responsible for making it harder for them rather than easier for them."

What a hypocrite.

Just another good indication that Obamacare was never about care. Wonder how many more stories like this are out there that are as yet untold?

We can pay for the prescription on our own. $ 500.00 PER month. We had it filled for 3 years without a problem. So much for your Doctor to decide what is best for you. I guess beaurocrats know better?

On the campaign trail, Democrats are dogged by questions about Obamacare....voters know Dummycrats marched in lockstep. They heard Dum-dums echo Obama's promise that they could keep their plans.

Dummycrats cheerleading for Obamcare is the kind of lock-stepping party loyalty not seen since 1940's era Europe.

As they head for 2014, it's dam hard for Dummycrats to restrain themselves.

Kinda reminds me of Peter Sellers trying to subdue
his natural instincts to salute smartly to der leader.

I am very sorry to hear this.

“I spoke with the pharmacy and was told that our predicament is not isolated. Many prescriptions are affected and many customers are starting to be upset even cursing at the stores. Of course, it is not their fault. It is the ACA that is causing the problem.”

This is very common in countries that implement socialism, not just with healthcare, but everything. As we continue down this path expect this from everything.

Hello.

Read about your poor wife-you both have my sympathies. I’m in the same boat but not quite as extensive as your wife may be. Mine came about when I was nearly killed by a drunk driver in 1989. After the second back surgery, I swore-never again!

May I respectfully ask what medication was she on? I’ve been using small dosage methadone to help deal with my pain for the last 15 years and now Humana (Medicare Part D -GRRRR!!!) says they won’t cover it. Thankfully, it’s still cheap enough that I can afford it-for now. Who knows how long that will last as there have been rumblings of making it much harder to obtain. As it is now, I now am forced to drive to a hospital pharmacy 26 miles from home in order to find it! Most either don’t carry it, stay sold out and some won’t even confirm they have it over the phone due to fears of armed robbery!

Sorry to ramble on so.
Thanks much for your time.

Freegards,
Snuffy

The Obamacare enrollment is 8 million strong and growing.

I have a question for you Mr. Abdullah. How can it be growing when the enrollment period ended on March 31?

I had the same question. The answer would seem to be there are no rules for Obamacare.

Because the "Gutless Old Party" is letting them.

It should be hung around their necks like a big rock daily so they can't runaway from it.

Every GOP person that gets a microphone shoved in their face should bring up the fact that the Dems are the only ones that voted for it.

Every time a Dinosaur Media person asks a Replublican any question, They should bring up that fact.

But don't hold your breath,They are working hard at figuring out a way to lose in Nov.
