This
‘. Why should we take it on his word and the Sun-Sentinel’s word that he couldn’t afford insurance?”
EXACTLY
This should apply to any subsidy; food stamps, housing allowances, free school lunches, help with utlilties, free obamaphones etc etc etc and most of all medicaid or subsidies for healthcare

has ANYONE ever seen someone whip out their EBT card who wasn’t also talking on the newest smartphone or driving a new SUV?

When people finally figure this out (like the ones who walked away from the hospital in N. Va the other day when their financial responsibility was explained to them), they are not going to be having warm and fuzzy feelings about the Liar-In-Chief, the Law of the Left (Obamacare) and the Dems that foisted the lie on them and continued to mislead them as to what they would be paying for. BTW, the media reported the folks in N. Va were turned away from the hospital because their insurance could not be verified ....wrongo ..... they would have been treated AND, since their deductibles were so high (5K at least), they would have been paying the visit out-of-pocket anyway (one needed a $500 chest x-ray). No one was turned away - they WALKED AWAY when they found out they had to pay.

Who is paying for this?

It is the American taxpayer being taxed by an un Constitutional law that only public employees and welfare recipients benefit from.

And so far they cannot force doctors to serve. Not even Obamacare sought to tax them. They can go Galt, or become Dr. Atlases that shrug.

It will go to pieces in this government’s power and pride greedy little hands.

Yep. I know graphic artists which make a pretty good living. Of course, they have to do work which somebody actually wants to pay for and not just what "inspires them."

I'm guessing this guy is closer to the "vomit on canvas and call it art" school. The rest of us are just too dumb to appreciate his creative genius.

Liberal Mediot Obamganda.

Good for the surf boarding free loaders and hippie free loaders in the Santa Cruz area.

They left out that for each scum bag free loader getting free insurance, about 4 or 5 California tax payers lost their policies thanks to the Unaffordable Care bs.

White House Soliciting Obamacare Success Stories

One “good” story for 1000 bad ones, but that’s what gets printed.

And no doctors will accept you as a patient. But you’ve got a piece of paper stating that you have insurance.

_____________________

Some doctors will, in their spirit of charity, at least for a while.

But they have bills to pay, and as Obamacare expands, they’ll tire quickly of the burden of being unable to meet their obligations.

“Last time I looked EVERY PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNION was in Favor for and advocated for passage of OBAMACARE. Let them enjoy the Benefits and save us from wasting all that money on “INFERIOR HEALTHCARE”!”

Sounds like a hell of a deal and plan for us non user tax payers.

We have friends who are retired teachers/principals with massive Kaiser treatments, and they are barely paying for their Kaiser care. They are probably the tip of the iceberg.

So if you voted for Obama and ObozoCare you get ObozoCare.

An oppressive and abusive police state government can force the population that they rule over to do just about anything. A few threats and "the unwashed masses" will do anything that you tell them to do.

“Hundreds of thousands of Californians call on Obama to fix healthcare when they learn what the word deductible means.”

About 95% of Californians with diplomas in the last 2-3 decades, can’t do math. They still won’t know what deductible means until they get a bill.

Yep, it is a peonage grab. Medicaid was put there for safety net reasons. Now folks are being shoved into it as though it was to be hammocks. Another way that chickens are coming home to roost. Don’t damn Medicaid per se, but do insist that it stop being abused.

Yep, and after a lifetime on Medicaid, every dime paid for your care by the state is reimbursable from your estate. Your heirs will mourn your passing by joining the serf class.

THIS is going to be a major problem in relpealing this P.o.S.

Easy-peasy. Republicans simply tell those few that signed up "If you like your Obamacare, you can keep your Obamacare!", then kick them out. What's good for the goose...

I'm starting to think Obama (or Soetoro or whatever his real name is) is a stealth Conservative.

Haven't we for decades been gnashing our teeth over people who have been getting a free ride?

Well, now, thanks to ObamaDon'tCare, people are actually having to pay for goods and services or, as you point out, they count the costs and decide, "Hmph, maybe this congestion isn't as bad as I thought. Think I'll go spend the 500 dollars on a new TV. That'll make me feel better."

“No one was turned away - they WALKED AWAY when they found out they had to pay.”

BINGO. Since time memorial, there never was any law that said you will never be treated in America. In canada where i’m from, they DO, especially if you do not pay your govt monthly premiums. These leeches are just too stupid and selfish not to pay.
