Remember when President Barack Obama assured everyone: “If you like your health-care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health-care plan. Period. No one will take it away, no matter what.” How’d that work out? . . . Remember when Obama said, over and over, that ObamaCare would lower annual family health-insurance premiums by $2,500 before the end of his first term as president? How’d that work out? . . .

Only fools and democrats believed premiums would go down after Obamacare was rammed down by majorities in congress. Thank you senator Santorum for backing Arlen Spector who was the crucial 60th vote to pass Obamacare.

Why don't you tell me how you think it worked out?

Why should you get a blog hit for me to discover your opinion about anything?

You kind of suck, actually. Freakin' parasite.

Our premiums went up, our co pay went up, our deductible went up, the amount the insurance pays the doctors et all went down.......according to our insurance company they are getting ready for the full implementation of obamaCare.

Ah, he's a good guy I heard. He was just 'taking one for the team' for his career. Like he is now to get his man in. We are to overlook all his baggage because 'he's a good man'. Considering everything, they must mean a good man for the GOP E.

I had an argument with my endocrinologist about Obamacare several years ago. He had a beef about insurance companies making the lives and practices of independent doctors more difficult with reporting requirements, so he wanted them to get the chop from the Fed.

Now that some parts of Obamacare are in effect, he no longer likes it so much. For instance, he can no longer write prescriptions by hand for people using federal insurance, such as Medicare or Tricare. He now has to eprescribe.

I showed him my iPad, and the iPrescribe Apps. Maybe that will make him happier with Obama.

That happened on our insurance policy as well and it wasn’t just $10.00 or $20.00.
