We have to make it more affordable for the insurance companies.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The Obonzo regime. Making “Affordable Healthcare” unaffordable!

[Ghost of SVR4]

You would be correct, insurance companies were all in for the ACA, the populace got hoodwinked by who was going to find this debacle “affordable”..

[silverleaf]

The president, and the Congress, have not spent 15 minutes under the roof of a household that honestly doesn’t have another $300 or $1,000 dollars a month to throw into insurance premium increases

Look who they vacation with. Can you say ‘ disconnected” ?

[drypowder]

Obama himself told a Nashville audience last month that he couldn't see why insurers needed to hike premiums

so they can buy more DC politicians

THE AFFORDABLE UNAFFORDABLE CARE ACT
THE DEPARTMENT OF (NO) ENERGY
THE DEPARTMENT OF (NO) EDUCATION

I'm beginning to see a pattern here...

[glennaro]

mulatto-care (my daughter says calling it obamacare is disrespectful of the president ... so in her presence I don’t call it by its popular name) was never intended to lower premiums ... the professional politicians just said it would in order to pass the bill ... literally.

[hoosierham]

Sorry,I sort of understand, but you should tell your daughter the current president doesn’t deserve respect. If you can’t even be honest and stand up for truth with your family I see a problem.

[glennaro]

I accept your shot at me and gosh-knows I've tried ... but it's a slow process -- At least I've changed her opinion of obama a little. She once told me he was the most honest president America has ever had. San Francisco where she spent her younger years is a true-life fantasy world -- filty dirty -- but a fantasy world nonetheless.

Be assured that because I love her I will not give up on her ... she has aroused the pitbull in me!

Another gift from the democrat party.

Well, it does say there right in the constitution that all people are entitled to health care, welfare, SNAP, Section 8, 200 dollar sneakers, trips to Casinos, etc.

Well, if you REALLY read into it, it says that /s

[Buckeye McFrog]

There was a reason they did not run the Harry and Louise ads this time.

“Obama himself told a Nashville audience last month that he couldn’t see why insurers needed to hike premiums”

So yet again, its not his fault.

[Twinkie]

The operative word in ACA is “ACT”, as in “act” or “pretend”.

[Pollster1]

The “Affordable Care Act” was a 66% lie.

Premiums, deductibles, and copayments are all much worse; nothing under Obamacare is Affordable.

Having “coverage” does not help to obtain medical Care.

The entire production was political grandstanding - an Act.

[US_MilitaryRules]

More like the UCA. Unaffordable healthcare Act.

[CSM]

Michigan is listed at just over 10% requested and approved.

Give her a copy of Levin’s new book, “Plunder and Deciet.” It is a very convincing case against big government!
