On July 18, President Obama held an event at the White House to promote Obamacare. It was Calculated Deception writ large, which is Obama’s rhetorical style of taking advantage of what he shrewdly calculates the great majority of average Americans will not know, and what he is certain the so-called mainstream media will not tell them. That smacks of third world style, authoritarian propaganda.
Obama falsely claimed, “In states like California, Oregon, Washington, new competition, new choices, market forces are pushing costs down.” I have already discussed in prior posts the misrepresentation regarding proposed premiums for 2014 on the California Obamacare Exchange, drawing on the cutting edge work of Avik Roy of the Manhattan Institute. The official press releases issued by the Exchange compared proposed premiums for individual health insurance in 2014 with health premiums for small business health insurance in 2013 to argue that Obamacare will not increase premiums after all in California. Saying that is like comparing apples to oranges is not even adequate. It is more like comparing prices of new Harley Davidson motorcycles next year to prices of new small buses and limousines bought by transportation companies this year, or dump trucks bought this year by small construction firms.
If the Democrat Party run California Exchange wanted to be honest, it would compare proposed premiums for individual health insurance in 2014 on the California Exchange with premiums currently paid for individual health insurance in California in 2013. When Avik Roy did that, he found, “For both 25-year-olds and 40-year-olds, then, Californians under Obamacare who buy insurance for themselves will see their insurance premiums double.” It can be much worse than that under Obamacare next year.
Independent analysis also found that the proposed Obamacare individual health insurance premiums in Oregon for 2014 are 66% higher...

The answer is yes, so long as they retain the right to sodomize goats. And have someone else pay for it.
..and it’s difficult to overcome his propagandist media, who pounds his lies down our throats as truth.
YES, because low information voters are really really stupid!

Each year the middle class and poor must vote for whoever is in power to promise and deliver an exemption to pay for their healthcare, with the state picking up the tab for them. Each year their exemption or subsidy will hinge on last minute crisis pitting the enemy as those elected who would rather kill them and push grandma off the cliff.
These people make Tony Soprano and Somalian warlords look tame. The sickening part is that the USSC with John Benedict Roberts knew just this.
The thing is low infromation voters are cheap and want everything handed to them. Those that get subsidies because they’re poor will probably sign up. Healthy young people will not sign up if it’s more expensive than is the penalty.
It’s a RICO conceived healthcare protection racket run by Chicago syndicate tactics. It’s complete with an exemption for all those who have a voice or spot at the table to be heard over it’s horrors. Unions, government workers, politicians, illegal immigrants, cretain minorities, followers of Islam, and anyone who works for Amazon.
Not going along would mean they would have to concede their own initial failings in judgment and warped worldview. Don’t bet a large sum on it, Mr. Thompson.
Okay, I finished the article. We need MORE articles like this that touch upon 0bama’s LIV-pandering BS, like on The Tonight Show when he said the “THERE IS NO SPYING ON AMERICANS” by the NSA. Let’s hope he keeps this up, because more LIV’s will wake up. Obvious LIV-pandering that backfired. Keep it up, 0bamugabe.
Who cares what they think?
The reason we are where we are today is the belief that posting on a website will fix the nation.
We and our kids deserve what’s coming.
We are the weakest generation.
Uggggh! SocioEconomic FASCISM has its costs.
Has anyone ever mentioned the possibility of using the Sherman Antitrust Laws on the government itself??
After all, the gov’t is now instituting an unfair MONOPOLY on health care.
That would be a great battle to watch in the Supreme Court. Oh well, perhaps Justice Roberts would be again strong-armed (or be threatened by Chicago thugs and Traybamabots) into voting against liberty.
As long as the "news" media keep covering for King Zero and printing the DNC talking points as news stories.
Too many people are too lazy to and uneducated (the goal of the NEA) to know what's at stake. This makes the Dems power control grab that much easier - it's all they're interested in: power.
Democrats do not really believe in democracy. For a real democracy to work the people must all be well-informed, definitely a no-no if all you desire is power and control over others.
Nope.

What incentive (or ability) do they have to produce anything more than increased suction on one or more of their state-sponsored she-wolf's Capitoline teats?
Most of those people don’t have a clue as to what is really going on.
No lie is too big for Obama to tell when it comes to his ‘signature’ piece of economic destruction.
Yes.
Obamacare should be almost fully “ripe” by Nov 2014.
But then again I said no way Obama could win with 8% unemployment, $4 gas, and surging food prices.
