Sebelius: Yes, Some Will Pay More for Health Insurance Under Obamacare
The Weekly Standard ^ | 12/17/2013 - 09:00 | Daniel Harper

Posted on 12/17/2013 8:40:44 AM PST by Hoodat

On a recent trip to Miami, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius admitted that, yes, some people will be paying more for health insurance under Obamacare:

Sebelius Admits Americans Could Pay More For Insurance Due To Oba . . .

"More back tracking now from the Obama administration admitting that some Americans will pay more for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act," said the Florida news anchor. "During a visit to Miami, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius stopped at a local library to talk to local residents about enrolling on the health insurance website. She also acknowledged that some people will pay higher premiums under Obamacare."

Said Sebelius, "There are some individuals who may be looking at increases. I think you cannot make a statement based on cost unless you compare what they had to what they're going into."

If you’ve got insurance through your employer, you can keep your insurance. We estimate we can cut the average family’s premium by about $2,500 per year.

Baraq Obama - Oct 15, 2008

Most Middle Class Americans will pay more, plus taxes will be raised to pay subsidies.

Sure some people will pay less, those who get the subsidies.

Meantime all of these people who have not gotten or paid a bill yet will have NO insurance come Jan. 1st.

I predict some empty hospital rooms after Jan. 1sst, while those who need hospitalization will put it off until they are covered. Those who are already there or scheduled are Folked.

“Some”

Like virtually all except the burgeoning ranks of Medicaiders that the rest of us without insurance, or who can no longer afford it thanks to OC, will have to pay for.

Yeah, as usual, the GIVERS will pay more so the TAKERS can get their health insurance for free. I don’t think this country was designed to work that way by the Founding Fathers. Sorry Kathy, your ObamaCare sucks and as an old school American, I’m not going to “embrace the suck”.

Any one who believed that, Anyone who did, does not manage their home finances, and can’t recognize a sleazy sales job.

The president shouldn’t act this way, shouldn’t lie like this, but he does so it, so it doesn’t mean he wouldn’t do it (lie).

Anyone who thought that this guy could pull $2500 per family out of nowhere, with no experience in business and no communication with medical professionals, no representative, cannot recognize a scam, and does not manage their won finances.

long after Obama is gone, people will still be running this country who are too gullible, too out of touch with managing their own lives and too selfish and greedy and lazy to be self sufficient enough to recognize a con artist of this caliber.

That’s the problem we are facing.

No one can tell me that part of the goal of Obamacare

WASN’T

to afflict the comfortable,
those with insurance,
with some sort of punishment.

“Some will pay more..” Try “All will pay more.”
Going thru it right now. Grandfathered in but in 6 months my rates will increase so much that I will be forced out. They can't cancel it but they can overcharge me enough to break me, by law. Not poor enough for Medicaid, and not making enough for obamacare. My insurance adviser has NO IDEA what I should do, or the other small business people in the same situation... I said, ‘the constitution forbids the government from forcing me to buy a product I don't want.’ Her reply: ‘Not anymore.’

Pretty soon that quote will be changed to: "We estimate that we will cut the increases in the average family's premium to about $2500 per year". They will tell us that's what he really meant to say.

Bait and switch advertising is a crime if it's committed by ordinary people.

And that is what I have seen by watching all the news articles about Obamacare. Anyone paying their own full freight is going to pay more.....a lot more. The only people whose insurance preiums has gone down are those moving to Medicaid or getting a subsidy.

If you put 30 million new people on the system that will get subsidies due to their low income the cost must go up for those that are not getting susidies. This is not rocket science it is simple math. The subside may be coming from the federal government but it is the producers and upper middle class workers that pay the taxes.

Obama lied from beginning to end and knew it was a lie. Internal debates in the White House went on concerning what he was saying in public about costs and people losing their insurance. They knew what would happen and Obama told lie after lie after lie.

I have more respect for rattlesnakes. A rattlesnake knows he is a snake, does not pretend to be anything but a snake and will bite you.

People no longer believe Obama, nor his spokesmen Jay Carney nor Kathleen Selibus. The public knows his minions are all paid liars. Paid with our tax dollars.

She thinks this?

250,000 professional comedians are out of work and this doofus throws out one-liners like this for free.

I dunno. Not if they are run by Obama's equivalent of Roland Freisler and his Peoples' Court:
