How Can They Call it 'Affordable'?

The Democrats keep referring to it as 'affordable'. They hide all the extra costs and the lies that were told so they could pass the Bill.


TOPICS: Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: health; obamacare
I can only conclude that the Democrats in DC have NO CONSCIENCE.

"How Can They Call it 'Affordable'?"

It is very affordable when someone else pays for the cost, like you and I!

This is the ‘Rat’s 1984. We have arrived.

Increasing chaos is more stable.
More expensive is Affordable
Muslims on the attack are “on the run”
And most pointedly — slavery is “freedom”

we the people are paying their premiums

because if you’re an illegal alien or ObamaPhone welfare queen, it is FREEEEEE. It is affordable for them because the rest of us pay higher jacked up rates .

For the same reason in the book ‘Nineteen Eightfour’ they called the department that tortured people the Ministry of Love and their own MSM (that also always lied) the Ministry of Truth ... and for the same reason a bulldog licks his balls:
Because they can.

You no speaka da lingo. This is "affordable" because someone else is paying for it, like "affordable housing." I would like a new, "affordable" BMW to replace my current, so why don't YOU pony up. Everyone who has insurance now will pay higher rates so they can do this and make it "affordable." One of the department staff actually told me that it will be "affordable because they can't afford it now." The only thing that will change is that they will take money away from people who earned it and give it to people who didn't, in the form of "affordable" insurance. He DID SAY HE WAS GOING TO SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND. This is what he meant.

Of course they have no conscience. They are giving away goodies with other people's money and patting themselves on the back for their generosity. This is not exactly a new development.

Because LIV's don't read past the title. The Dems play to the LIV's. They don't care about things we find outrageous. They are only concerned with what the LIV's think. Period.

The 0bama regime Tweets pics of cuddly animals to get LIV's to enlist in 0bamacare. Ridiculous? Not to the LIV's! It's cuuuuuuute, awwwwwwwww "Where do I sign up?!!!"

Bingo. If the rats had to tell the truth to get into Heaven, they would choose to go to Hell.

It is easy to designate something as “affordable”. First, begin with redefining the world itself.

“Affordable” no longer means “to fit within one’s budget”.

Beg, borrow, or steal from others to maintain the continuing flow of the “entitlement”. Rather like feeding a crack cocaine habit. A person can afford anything, if willing to take the risks and make the compromises necessary in trading away all the other wants and needs that accrue in life. Prudence and any thought of what will fill the void tomorrow are totally abandoned, in the headlong plunge into the abyss. The very concept of budgeting has gone out the window, long ago.

Gopher broke.

Your conclusion would be correct, Buckeye.

c. Dec 09/ Jan 10- in a heated conversation on Fire Dog Lake (yeah. I know)
one of the shills was arguing, with a (virtual) straight face, that if a person could not afford the premiums for 0Care- & I quote: “they should sell their house & move into an apartment” and “sell their car & either take public transportation or ride a bicycle”. This person was supposedly in the NE (Maine or Mass, I think- according to their screen name) & the regular people were incredulous: A bicycle. There. In the snow. & Pick up their kids/ take their elderly parent to the doctor- on a bicycle or a bus.
Anyay, that’s “how important” “health care” was.
(It was pointed out that insurance is NOT “health care” AND that people wouldn’t be able to afford to use it once they’ve paid the premiums.)
I was surprised they didn’t say people are too fat anyway, so take it out of the grocery money.

It’s hard to have a conscience when you’re Bat Guano Crazy, I guess. OFAs are like pre-programmed robots (or not unlike offshore “customer service” agents). They just keep repeating their script, but they don’t even comprehend what is said to them. It doesn’t compute that they are talking about the average rent (or more) & certainly more than the average mortgage.
