In Vermont, the rate increases announced Monday range from 9.8 percent to 18.3 percent. Kentuckians will pay up to 17 percent more in 2015, and in Virginia rates will rise as much as 22 percent. These increases are the direct result of the Obamacare scheme to make health care “more affordable,” and the increases could have a considerable impact on the November congressional elections.

Here we are, with yet another article about how the Democrats have screwed things up for the country, and it breaks down to arguing about how bad the Republican politicians are.
We can fix them after we fix the Democrats for foisting this horrible President on us.
They no longer identify who will represent the governed, but rather serve two other purposes.
Congressional elections determine who will write vague directions for executive agencies.
Presidential elections name the guy who will appoint the commissars that make the actual laws we live under.
The Framers would call this arbitrary government. Whatever it is, it isn't government with the consent of the governed.
Elections alone cannot possibly remedy what ails our once republic.
So today is the day to take a quick stroll through the Bill of Rights. How many are in force?
One political party would happily repeal all of them, and the other party wouldn't make much of a fuss.
And we are told to just keep voting.
I agree.
If you agree, then tell me who I voted for. All the smug posters on this thread must have been standing behind me at the polling booth, since I got such a self-congratulatory lecture on my voting habits.
Didn’t say anything about you.
However I have already seen multiple comments on fr from people who say they will vote for Grimes in KY and Hillary as well.
I was responding to comment.#11. That was a general comment.
