ObamaCare architect Emanuel on rate hikes: ‘It’s not a big increase’ and you ‘can shop much faster’

Stop whining, cheapos.

As you probably know, Ezekiel Emanuel served as a health care policy adviser during Obama’s first term and was instrumental in the creation of ObamaCare. He’s also the creepy gentleman who thinks 75 is the proper age to die. As Obama’s “signature legislation” endures an easily-envisioned and oft-predicted implosion, Emanuel’s been making the rounds playing defense.

He wants to make sure you know a few things.

1. The massive rate hikes caused by the law are not that big. You’re just imagining things. Sure, you can rattle off a list of states where the increases are anywhere from 20% to 100%, but you’re really just nitpicking - probably because you’re cheap and don’t understand what a ridiculous value ObamaCare really is.

“And you can’t cross state lines to get a better deal.”

Across state lines, here in Colorado folks are wishing they could cross county lines.

Forced volume. Buy or be fined. Oh, you have to buy from us? Okay, those premiums will triple in a year.

Complain away.

The thing is, we did nothing about the healthcare mess, while we had the power.

Obama did something. We don’t agree with what he did, but he did it partly because we did nothing.

Nothing. That is not the way to show leadership.

Vote Trump.

Just read in the Boston Globe that one of the biggest health insurers/providers in Massachusetts (Neighborhood Health Plan),which is a subsidiary of two of the world's most famous hospitals (Massachusetts General and Brigham & Women's),will refuse new members who are on welfare.They said they're doing so because they've lost something like $245 million on such patients in the last two years.
