WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of people with serious medical problems are in danger of losing coverage under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul because of cost overruns, state officials say.

The root of the problem is that the federal health care law capped spending on the program at $5 billion, and the money is running out because the beneficiaries turned out to be costlier to care for than expected.

This is what Free Healthcare looks like.

Those who were expecting something different are just fools.

The root of the problem is that the federal health care law capped spending on the program at $5 billion, and the money is running out because the beneficiaries turned out to be costlier to care for than expected...helps explain the big lie being spread by the 'rat shills that spending on health care has descended into single digit increases over the last two years after being in double digits for years before that - if you're going to put caps on what you spend of course prices will come down - but you're not providing the quantity or quality of care you were giving previously......

I am pretty sure that none of these healthscare plans are constitutional, as you read it.

America is about to find out that the “single payer” in “single payer” health insurance IS THEM! LOL! Gotta love that hopey changey stuff. It’s even better when you think that 30 million foreign nationals are about to be added to the ObamaCare scam and they all want “free” healthcare. Good luck with that! Barry and Moochelle will be laying around on the beach in Hawaii if you have any questions about his ObamaCare program.

At his news conference this week, Obama acknowledged the rollout of his health care law wouldn't be perfect.
There will be "glitches and bumps" he said.

One of the 'glitches' in seeing our doctor will be much like visiting the Department of Motor Vehicles.
And we all know how much fun that is.

I’m surprised that anyone is surprised that Obamacare costs more than Obama and his cult followers promised. It’s going to keep costing more and more, while healthcare gets worse and worse.

So 100,000 people went through $5 billion, which is $50,000 each. Amazing.

The article also mentions a little known factoid that the sheeple should be told about: those highly touted subsidies for the poor and working poor are only available in the state run exchanges, in which less than half of the states are participating. If your state isn’t one of them, you’re SOL.

The problem to start with...was health care was too expensive. So far, I haven’t seen one single bit of change to lessening the cost of health care. Over two thousand pages in the law, and not one single change to brought the cost down.

When you have a problem.....you go to fix the problem. In this case, they did everything possible to avoid lessening the cost of health care.

This drastic “mistake” is In the long tradition of lying Democrats like LBJ, who promised the cost of Medicare would run no more than $9 billion a year. It is now over $940 billion a year and will break the country if not drastically reformed. Because it is the most expensive lie of all, ObamaCare is worse and will certainly break the country and destroy healthcare in the process.
