Moody’s Investor Service has changed its outlook for the U.S. health care insurance sector from stable to negative, citing Obamacare’s rollout and the uncertainty it brings.

The private credit rating agency said potential fallout from the Affordable Care Act’s implementation — including changes to the individual market and the impact of the law’s “employer mandate” on commercial group plans in January 2015 — presents the greatest challenge to health insurers’ credit profile. Lower reimbursement rates among Medicare Advantage plans also are creating financial pressure, it said.

A big slap on Obama’s face BIGTIME.

But he doesn't feel the impact - WE DO.

He's probably grinning from ear to ear - it's working - it's destroying us...just as he and his puppeteers planned.

If this da*m thing isn't repealed, the only people having insurance will be those who get it free - while all we get is to pay their bill.

While Obama is the object of that cold, hard slap, it is we who are getting it in his stead.

Actually I think Moodys is well connected with the Democrat party. Their “chief economist” Mark Zandi has been pimping for the Baraqqi economy since Jan 2009 on biz shows.

And Soros is patting his boy on the back with a "Well done, my boy. Well done." - as he sees his long held ambition and machinations to bankrupt America rolling along at breakneck speed.

(Soros, a Convicted Felon, tried - and nearly succeeded in bankrupting England. I believe they still have an outstanding international warrant for his arrest? And Putin issued one in 2012....and yet, NO ONE in the US says a word about O'bummer being in his pocket. Soros has owned the Rat party, starting with Teddy, for decades.)

(See my next post for live link to Putin's actions) http://2012patriot.wordpress.com/2012/04/09/george-soros-international-arrest-warrant/

At one time Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway was the largest stakeholder in Moody’s.

Buffet is a supporter of Obama.

Probably audits for the company until Obama is out of office.
Maybe political charges, too. Dinesh D’Souza is getting hit with charges that his “Obama 2016” documentary was a political ad, but the networks that ran multiple Hillary biopics in 2012 weren’t.
