The gist of the Democrat’s argument:
Ezra Klein of the Washington Post, in response to my article on this topic, checked out the eHealth rates for plans in his hometown of Irvine, California, and compared them to a similar website sponsored by the government at healthcare.gov. He found that the third-cheapest plan there cost only $109 a month, “if they’ll sell it to you for that price.” According to the government, Ezra notes, 14 percent of people who tried to buy that plan—Health Net’s IPF PPO Value 4500—were turned away. Another 12 percent were asked to pay more than $109.
To Ezra, it’s galling that three-fourths of his compatriots can pay $109 for health insurance, because 12 percent were not eligible for the plan, and another 14 percent had to pay somewhat more. This is why Obamacare is a great achievement, he says, because Health Net will have to serve all comers, regardless of prior health status.
Never forget that Obamacare was passed against the will of the people with 2/3 or more opposing its passage.
Yes, Anthony, today is a very, very good day.
The entire liberal agenda is built on one heaping lie after another. No truth in any of it.
Squeezing out the competition has always been the Obamacare method to get to a single payer gub’mint cradle to grave system of control. Control = power=continued control. Welcome to the fundamentally transformed Amerika.
We couldn’t know it was such a good thing until it was passed. (nobody read it) Now that it’s been passed, and read, whoa, what a good ——ing deal.
If the right were smart they would get copies of all of the speeches that Obama told us that health care would be cheaper. You know as well as I do that they will disappear off the net.
Like I have said so many times in the past, the left writes our ads for us but we don’t use them to our advantage.
How 1984-ish of them.
"So what your point?"
Another GREAT thing about 0bamacare for democrats?
It doubles premiums for those foolish people who go out to a job every day and pay exorbitant taxes and get called “oppressors” for their trouble.
The “oppressed” don’t pay any premium, that’s why the “oppressors” pay double.
All this hand wringing about gold, silver and bronze plans and costs and who is and isn’t accepted blah, blah, blah is meaningless.
This isn’t about health, it isn’t about insurance - it is about taxing and more money to be able to afford keeping the Democrat entitlement constituency in their status quo. That is all that it is.
Good if you want to eventually control the masses through single payer.
“AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT”
IN 2014, A BRONZE LEVEL OBAMACARE POLICY FOR A FAMILY OF TWO ADULTS AND THREE CHILDREN WILL BE $20,000.00 A YEAR.

Of course on the other hand, since we’re talking economics, the problem for libs with this is that it boosts the cost of insurance and makes it less likely that people will purchase it, since it will remain financially desirable to keep paying the penalty, excuse me, “tax” according to John Roberts, rather than paying the higher insurance costs - but libs will never mention that.....
