For many, their introduction to the Affordable Care Act has been negative: a broken website, and now cancellation notices from insurance companies followed by sticker shock over higher prices for the new plans. It's directly at odds with repeated assurances from the president, who has said "if you like your insurance plan, you will keep it. No one will be able to take that away from you."

From CBS, of all places.

If this were an article on Fox News, how long would it take before liberals would say, "consider the source?"

Sure, CBS can do the stories now that they helped make ACA the “law of the land”. Although I guess they think this crap attempt to look like they give a rats behind about being fair and balanced really matters.

The Democrat party has always tolerated the communist left because they thought that they could control them. Maybe they’re worried that they can’t.

And it's all the Republicans' fault -- Robert Reich says so...

The Democrats' Version of Health Insurance Would Have Been Cheaper, Simpler, and More Popular (So Why Did We Enact the Republican Version and Why Are They So Upset?)

Barrette said, "What I have right now is what I am happy with and I just want to know why I can't keep what I have. Why do I have to be forced into something else?"

And just who did you vote for?

Good! Let some of the bastards that inflicted the sob on me go through some of the misery that they caused me. when Beck read the letter the woman from IL wrote crying about how bad she was going to have it, I shouted into the radio,”Thank Heaven, there is a God!” Let some of those who wanted to inflict the misery on others get a piece of the action.

I would change the word “tolerated” to “followed” in your post.
