'Obamacare Works,' Obama Tells Voters Nov 1, 2014 By CHRIS GOOD

Mired in low approval numbers, President Obama has shied away from campaigning for Democratic candidates before the midterms, but when he spoke at a rally this evening in Michigan, the president made a forceful case for his signature health law.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but Obamacare works," the president said.

Criticized by Republicans as an overreaching law that was rolled out ineptly, the Affordable Care Act eventually supplied health coverage to 8 million Americans who signed up for 2014 plans on Obamacare-created exchanges.

How can it work when he’s delayed most of its key provisions until after the election?

If you like your ObamaCare, you can keep your ObamaCare. Don’t be shoving it down the throats of people who work for a living!

My mother sent as email out today saying that her new medicare booklet doesn't doesn't have the new rates or deductibles in it.

She called the 800 number and was told that information wouldn't be released until the second week of November.

Amazing.

If it worked there would be no need to tell anyone. They would know.

Hasn’t worked too well for me, have had my plan cancelled two years in a row and am looking at over 100% increase from what I was paying two years ago for my family of 5.

Does anyone really believe anything the feckless fool on the hill says anymore? If they do, they are fools. How many times can a person lie before you stop believing him? For me it is once, and that was surpassed even before the feckless fool on the hill was even in the oval office

If it worked, he wouldn't need to preface with "you may not know this, but."

The product speaks for itself.

You ever gone to forums or YouTube where liberals are discussing Obamacare? You bring up something like this and the response is always “Lies! Lies! Why do you want sick people not to be able to see a doctor?”

It’s destroying our health care in the U.S., so, yes, it is meeting his objectives.

It works perfectly. It exalts the bums over the hapless hard workers like you. Democrat objective achieved.

How about driving doctors out of business. Liberals’ pants fall off when they see the number of abortion providers in a state fall. Why shouldn’t that happen when they see the number of practicing doctors in a state fall?

Does your mom know what her raise will be in Jan.? I’ve heard that it will be a whopping 01.7%.

For s.s. cost of living raise, things such as energy, gasoline and food are not taken into consideration.

If by ‘works’, Zero means driving up the cost of medical insurance and out of pocket costs while simultaneously reducing levels of care and options, then yes, it is working.
