Pelosi: ‘You’re Mandated to Have Health Insurance, Yes, You Will Have An Increase’
Cybercast News Service ^ | June 6, 2013 4:10 PM | Elizabeth Harrington

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Thursday that health insurance premiums will go up under Obamacare because people who did not buy insurance before, and thus had no premium at all, will now be forced to buy insurance.

She also urged people to be “optimistic” about Obamacare. “You just see,” Pelosi said. “I mean be optimistic about it. It is a very, very exciting enterprise.” …

“It’s also about what you get for the money,” Pelosi added. “In other words, people will be getting no lifetime or annual limits on their coverage, no discrimination because of a preexisting medical condition. It has a whole array of quality that is in the legislation. But if you don’t have health insurance, and you don’t qualify for a subsidy, and you’re mandated to have health insurance, yes, you will have an increase,” she said.

“I don’t remember saying that everybody in the country would have a lower premium, because everybody in the country doesn’t have health insurance,” Pelosi continued. “So how could it be lower? But the fact is, the value of what you get for the cost that you pay is a reduction in cost to you.” …

I want to see these people bound up with tie wraps and frog marched to jail SOOO badly.

I'd like to see them dropped without parachutes from 35,000 feet over the districts that elected them, but... I guess jail will have to do.

She had to pass it in order to find out what’s in it. Having passed it, she now looks into it and, well - whaddya’ know! - it’s a huge increase in cost after all. Of course, there will be no admission from the Left that the Right was, well, right!

She is a nutjob extraordinaire! If not for being born into a mob family of politicians she couldn’t get a job at MacDonald’s!

If that rubber band at the back of her head were to snap, she’d look like a basset hound.

What a sad, demented little person.

She needs competent care, not a gavel or a vote in the House and especially not a constituency of decent, hard working Americans in need of government representation.

She is a text book example of how to marry money and power and what happens when it goes to your head.

I pray for her soul, that she receives a complete "walk in their shoes" understanding of the damage she has done, that her humility, humanity and potential for character might increase while she is on the receiving end of the power she has corrupted, mismanaged and used against her enemies.

If we are forgiven as we forgive, then let her understand what she is making others forgive her for.

As a Catholic, is she not supposed to treat her neighbors as she herself wants to be treated?

Well, Nan old girl,...what goes around, comes around and comin' back at ya like a fire hose.

When a smoker gets some smoking related problem they will deny coverage because you smoke, so what’s the smoking tax for? I know, re-education. Why don’t they tax obesity, unsafe sex, alcoholism, etc.? Illegal drug users get disability and smokers get ......

“I don’t remember saying that everybody in the country would have a lower premium...”

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57464444/pelosi-repeal-of-health-care-act-unrealistic/

June 30, 2012

Pelosi says the act puts people “in charge of how they receive coverage and health care.”

She said Republicans “will ask for repeal, repeal of all the things ... that help children, help young adults, help seniors, help men or women who may have prostate cancer, breast cancer, whatever it is, any precondition. And everybody will have lower rates, better quality care and better access.”

I predict it’s not going to end well for her. And I’m not even referring to her destiny with the Lake of Fire at Judgement time.

If it is such a great program....why did Congress vote to exempt themselves?

There was a thread a day or so ago about this...

seems that congress critters are not exempt....

but are trying to wriggle off the hook.
