Sounds like the usual Democrat bribery for votes, an updated version of the ObamaPhone. Once he has you hooked on the subsidy, your premiums will go up and you will be paying through the nose....unless you are in the right color or gender-challenged group.
You can only put so many band-aids on a gaping wound before you realize that either quickly or slowly, you’re still bleeding to death.
Big Bwana the corrupt tribal chieftain says the law be whatever he SAY it is.
The president cannot arbitrarily change the law. As much as liberal Obama bootlicking acolytes wish it were so, Reichfuhrer Barry won't be able to do it and he will be forced to resign over this entire hot mess.
At what point does Congress step in and constrain the finances?
-— Stein didn’t look into how much this “fix,” better described as a “huge spending increase,” might cost, and “somehow” forgot that any such “fix” substantially increasing tax subsidies would destroy President Obama’s unqualified 2009 pledge that “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future. I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period.” -—
Yeah, that’s sure to stop him.
The fix is to give everyone free valium. Everything will be cool.
Ben & Janet’s can crank out the bucks!
Go Baraq!

Or more anti-Constitutional legislation by Executive Order, from the Dictator-wannabe.
More and bigger lies.
Why can’t they just allow us to deduct the cost of health insurance from our tax returns?
Regardless of subsidies, the “sticker shock” will come with the bill for the copay and deductible.
I could see being forced to stay in with the premium being an automatic deduction of some kind. Otherwise, people will sign up, get all of their medical problems taken care of, then drop out.
That's the other factor that's going to cause the insurance to go up unbelievably after the first year...the "takers" will sign up if they find a way to use the system. A lot of people with a lot of medical issues, real or not, are going to get every benefit they can that first year.
The other thing is those new Medicaid eligible. Will they be automatically moved to Obamacare if their financial situation improves, without being able to opt out? They've given the feds control of their bodies when they took Medicaid.
I've been thinking about it. That's how they get enough people in the system. It's going to be like a sticky spider web. Wait to sign up until you get an expensive illness? No problem. Healed, want to go back to opting out. Isn't going to happen. The actuaries are writing the rules, after all.
I'm just guessing, but how else can it work?
They will double, triple and quadruple down before they'll ever admit the Obama choom gang is just plain incompetent.
Of course, the "answers" do nothing more than centralize power and create less and less effective structures while costing citizens more and more of their liberty.
Mylie twerks, Obama tweaks. congre$$ sits with its head up its .. uhhh..
What's another 100 trillion or so as long as it ensures the Communists remain in power?
But someday they are going to have to stop slinging ink and resort to slinging lead to get the job done. We all know that is coming. It will be their only way to maintain their death grip on America.
It will soon be time to decorate some lampposts.
Of course, for Barry and his inner circle everything is about one sort of backdoor or another so it shouldn't be a surprise
Sure. To everybody. That was always the end game. And reduce the number of "insurers" to precisely one. That also was always the end game.
There are, to be sure, Congressional controls for this out-of-control train, but brakes only work if they're applied.
