If you think health care’s expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.

Maybe the rate increases will finally get the low-information crowd to yank their heads back out of their a$$es and realize what a big mistake they made in Nov 2008 and 2012.
To: markomalley
No problem. Just print more and more money and give subsidies to more and more people so they can pay higher and higher premiums.
Sheesh.

What will be interesting will be the unemployment percentage after the commie care goes into effect. I think the record is 23% in 1932. If we’re lucky maybe it’ll only hit 22% and then when Democrats blame the RINO party, the RINOs won’t have to apologize too much.

My 2012 form W-2 has a box with the cost of my employer provided health insurance in it. Last year it was about $4,000. That amount is not taxable YET. Soon the amount will be more than double and it will be taxable. Why else would the IRS add that box to the W-2? How many times did 0bama promise “If you make less than $250,000 yo taxes won go up one one dime.” That a**hole makes me sick!

“crushing the administration’s goal of affordability.”
The goal was never “affordability”, the goal is CONTROL, and the power to crush political opposition. They are ALREADY handing Confidential info to Radical Dem groups for political use, what do you think they are going to do with medical records??

A lot of these insurance company suckers signed on for this oppressive monstrosity. Now Obama will make them eat costs and then saddle the “rich” taxpayers with the remainder. We’ll end up with no private insurance market and the “rich” paying 70%+ in taxes to give the entire country, including any illegal who can make it across the border, free health care.

Actually I think just the opposite.
I think Obamacare will actually result in lower unemployment, as 10’s of millions of businesses shift people to part time so they wont have to pay for their insurance, thus forcing them to hire more people.
Hope you enjoy you minimum wage 30 hour a week job :)
