Calling this debacle “ObamaCare” obscures the massive irony in the actual title: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. So are we as a nation better protected? Are costs lower?

Voters need to ask themselves:
1. When your insurance was cancelled due to the democrats’ law, did that make you feel “protected”?
2. When you are forced to pay many times more for policies with a higher deductable, did that make care more “affordable”?
3. Who did this to us?
4. Who had the foresight to oppose it?

plus this isn’t insurance, it’s pre-paid medical.

Insurance is meant to protect people when something catastrophic happens. Insurance is not $5 copays on well checks.

Dummies will still blame the evil Republicans regardless. At least I have one convert at work. He’s all quiet now about Obamacare.

I'm surprised they haven't spun the term “affordable care” yet in their favor. Except for the Bronze plans, the medical care one would actually receive is very affordable. Low-to-moderate co-pays, free preventative services, a cap on out-of-pocket costs, etc.

The problem is, the monthly premiums are very NON-affordable, but once you get sick, the cost for care is manageable for most people. What is upsetting to many Americans are the very high premiums, which will have a devastating effect on many peoples’ budgets. These unaffordable premiums are ironically the cost of providing all that “affordable care” mandated by the law.
