Consumer Reports had nothing but praise for Obamacare ever since it was passed in 2010. But now that Obamacare is actually taking effect, the magazine has all of a sudden become quite critical of it. They seem to be genuinely surprised at the problems of Obamacare. I guess the magazine must be run by clueless liberals.

If they’re starting to acknowledge the problems, at least they can do that. Most Liberals think it was the greatest thing ever..., no problems at all.
What interests me about these freaks, is that they started this whole thing to cover the 45 million without coverage. Now they acknowledge about 50 million will remain without coverage.
Hey, but no problem. And never-mind that illegals will be covered by lower middle class will be part of the 50 million.

Obamacare raised the cost with all these mandates but the taxpayer subsidies were supposed to compensate for that but naturally they have have these hole-traps like ones cited.

As long as the FedMob requires me to buy health insurance the cost of it is academic.
I don't comply with tyrant's demands.

Until recently, ultranannyist liberal Joan Claybrook, yes, that Claybrook, was on their board.

Consumer Reports is surprised that communism is not working this time too. I would not buy a magazine from such idiots.

Although I like Consumer Reports--it is an unbiased source for comparison shopping, as it does not even accept advertising, which could conceivably taint its judgments--I will readily admit that it does have a leftist bias, with regard to its editorial views. And that clearly is the case as concerning ObamaCare.

I’ve got family of 7 with my oldest daughter dropping off soon....the fact that major medical catastrophic style insurance is dead hurts her
I used to pay 470 Pre Obama...self insured with Farm Bureau BCBS
now I pay 780...to be up to Obamacaremandates which includes bull white like pregnancy coverage for my just turned menopausal honeypot
Back in our early days it was her age of childbearing that drove policy premiums
It was that way for all families...that had the decency to carry insurance and not expect govt to do it

Really? You can check the history of that mag here and you’ll see countless idiot articles from glow-bull warming to worshipping electric cars.

My wife and I have our own business. Just the two of us. No employees. No dependents. We are in excellent health and were paying $360/Mo. for comprehensive healthcare (medical, dental, preventive, etc.) prior to Obamacare. As of January 2013 our premiums jumped to $670/Mo. And on Monday, 12/1/14 we were informed that our monthly premium will now be $922/Mo. Screw Barry and every other Demonrat. Barry and his minions are taxing us out of existence.

I used to listen to those CR clowns years ago, but no more. Their “research” is a joke.

I guess the magazine must be run by clueless liberals. You didn't know that? It's why I cancelled my subscription back in the early '90s. Worse, when they do report on things you're shopping for the model you want is either out of date and is no longer available or has been totally redesigned so the review doesn't apply. Total waste of time and money IMO.

Like I said, there are just as MANY (if not more) people without health insurance now than before Klown We Don’t Kare. It’s just now they are DIFFERENT. People.
