ROTFLOLOL.
You got it!
Got to hand it to the Democrats. They can lie with the best of them and they stick to it.
Had a State Trooper tell me once, “A lie stuck to is as good as the truth”.
You created an artificial market by dictating what “minimum” coverage insurers must offer.
Many declined to offer those “minimums”, which changed coverage options for those already insured.
Thus, insurers ended certain products, rather than add costly coverage “minimums”, as dictated by ObamaCare®.
Those people suddenly found themselves no longer covered and had some imperative to obtain coverage.
So they ended up in their last refuge for options and took on ObamaCare®.
Most opted for insurance that has extraordinary higher deductibles, forces the consumer to carry a greater cost of those services and drugs than they had previously and costs more than their prior carrier charged.
Of those currently covered on ObamaCare® only around 60% have paid for their coverage. It remains to be seen how “sticky” these customers are but, we should start to see the results later this year as “paid” subscribers stop paying for something they simply cannot afford.
The remaining 40% of those who signed up are comprised of people who have no intention of paying for a servuce they “understand” is free and a small percentage will pay a subsidized rate that is only out of pocket less than $100.
ObamaCare® will eventually fall under its on weight, much like the Elephant Man whose neck muscles could no longer hold his gigantic and growing head.
It will succumb by way of auto-asphyciation
Methinks poor dear Babs is blindsided....smartly saluting to der leader and marching in lockstep is dam hard.
she’s one tiny bundle of Pathologies!

LOL.
The trains did run on time.
FYI
Affordable Boat Act
The U.S. government has just passed a new law called The Affordable Boat Act declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a new boat by April 2014.
These affordable boats will cost an average of $54,000-$155,000 each.
This does not include taxes, trailers, towing fees, licensing and registration fees, fuel, docking and storage fees, maintenance or repair costs.
This law has been passed, because until now, typically only wealthy and financially responsible people have been able to purchase boats. This new laws ensures that every American can now have an affordable boat of their own, because everyone is entitled to a new boat. If you purchase your boat before the end of the year, you will receive 4 free life jackets, not including monthly usage fees.
In order to make sure everyone purchases an affordable boat, the costs of owning a boat will increase on average of 250-400% per year. This way, wealthy people will pay more for something that other people dont want or
cant afford to maintain. But to be fair, people who cant afford to maintain their boat will be regularly fined and children (under the age of 26) can use their parents boats to party on until they turn 27; then must purchase their own boat.
If you already have a boat, you can keep yours (just kidding, no you cant). If you dont want or dont need a boat, you are required to buy one anyhow. If you refuse to buy one or cant afford one, you will be regularly fined$800 until you purchase one or face imprisonment.
Failure to use the boat also will result in fines. People living in the desert, ghettos, inner cities or areas with no access to lakes are not exempt. Age, motion sickness, or lack of experience, knowledge or desire are unacceptable excuses for not using your boat.
A government review board (that doesnt know the difference between the port, starboard or stern of a boat) will decide everything, including when, where, how often and for what purposes you can use your boat, along with how many people can ride in your boat and determine if one is too old or healthy enough to be able to use their boat. They will also decide if your boat has outlived its usefulness or if you must purchase specific accessories (like a $500 compass) or a newer and more expensive boat.
Those who can afford yachts will be required to do so...its only fair.
The government will also decide the name for each boat. Failure to comply with these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment.
Government officials are exempt from this new law. If they want a boat, they and their families can obtain boats free, at the expense of taxpayers. Unions, bankers and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$) are also exempt.

Then go ahead and run on it. Tell all your fellow libs to do the same. Shout it from the rooftop!
VATICAN CITY (CBS St. Louis) The Vaticans chief justice feels that President Barack Obamas policies have been hostile toward Christians.
In an interview with Polonia Christiana magazine and transcribed by Life Site News Cardinal Raymond Burke said that Obama promotes anti-life and anti-family policies.
It is true that the policies of the president of the United States have become progressively more hostile toward Christian civilization. He appears to be a totally secularized man who aggressively promotes anti-life and anti-family policies, Burke told the magazine.
“Huge success”? By what metrics?
There are MORE “uninsured” NOW than there were as of September 1, 2013. Of all those who signed up, the vast majority were those who had been bumped OFF an existing plan, either through non-renewal, or by the plan being declared “unacceptable” under the terms of the badly-designated “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 20l0”. Not a dent was made in the totals of “uninsured” that supposedly the target of all this legal fandango. The situation bodes only to become much worse in terms of numbers than ever it had been before, with the determination by an unknown number of persons affected by the new, much higher rates that have or shall soon kick in, to give up coverage altogether, and take a chance on health conditions over the coming year, including paying whatever fines may be involved. Plus, a number of employer-benefit plans will either be dropped or modified to the point where the victim, er, insured is no longer covered.
For some people, a little better. For the rest of us, no discernible benefit shall accrue from the widespread adoption of this whole compass of the “Obamacare” fiasco.
If it’s so great why does the president have to sell it on Ellen, The View, and every other talk show and venue friendly to him?
All the Democrats have decided to be Baghdad Bob. I do believe some well placed political ads about getting help for delusions would be appropriate.
Most of the left are pushing this line.Obamacare is wonderful, all stories debunked, blah blah blah........I know for me it is awful. Question Freepers, this there a site I can refer to that actually has Obamacare stories about the harm ACA is doing? Please post site link or name if you can TY
Sharing that lithium with Pelosi again, are we?
What does she have to worry about, she is worth nearly 1/3 of a billion from graft..er...grants to her husband. She is only concerned about the little guy.
