BS I’m on Medicare and my supplemental insurance went from $40 a month to $110. I had to drop it for another supplement with a $6000 deductible.

Fair enough I guess. All the imaginary “we need healthcare” horror stories were invented too.

Partly that’s because the Affordable Care Act, by design, has had almost no effect on those who already had good health insurance:”

My premium went up 52%, my deductible up60%. Yep, no effect on my at all! I wonder how much he got paid to write this crap!

Hey Pauli,
Here’s my invention:
My insurance was cancelled and I was forced to a replacement with half the benefits at about twice the costs.
It also is true.

Obamacare isn’t perfect, but it has dramatically improved the lives of millions. Someone should tell the voters.

If it is so great..wouldn't the voters already know it and appreciate it???...What an arrogant statement..don't worry krugman..o will soon step around the voters with eo

Paul Krugman is the prototypical proof of the old adage that men readily believe that which they wish to believe.

In other news, The Soviet Union under Stalin was just peachy-keen. NYT has used enough trees to bury all the dead in pine boxes from their biased BS stories.

My mom passed a year ago at age 90 and though she never had Obamacare, I can tell you some absolutely horrific stories about what I went through JUST trying to RESEARCH her options.

We were fortunate that she had worked all her life and had her own plan, but ... it went just as you explain! I was terrified that they were forcing her off her plan!

There is a sense of betrayal and deceit which is typical for all Americans who have worked, saved and who have ‘done without’ through their entire lives for the security of their own health care-just to be robbed at this point...because that’s what is going on!

“At a deeper level, however, what we’re looking at here is the impact of post-truth politics. We live in an era in which politicians and the supposed experts who serve them never feel obliged to acknowledge uncomfortable facts, in which no argument is ever dropped, no matter how overwhelming the evidence that it’s wrong.”

Wow, such an expertly nuanced statement. So many shades of Gray to consider. So much intellectual gravitas on display. It could only come from an ivy league intellect and from one so superior and so learned.

I feel so stupid. I didn't know all this crap you just said.

I think it means no one has the gumption to call this stuff the (censored for the gentle readers among us) that it is.

The minute they started talking about Obamacare our premiums started going up. Our premiums for 2015 went up over $3k. I blame Obamacare.

and that is how the left operates- invent a lie and it becomes ‘truth’ thanks to the main stream media-

These horror stories are NOT made up- but he apparently thinks that saying that they are is enough to make the truth disappear- and apparently he’s right because they have succeeded at this dishonest disgusting practice for a long time now- they no longer even try to hide their lies, they just throw them in our faces and dare us to contradict them

Krugeman is another Ivory-Tower type of liberal. I think is also a John Kerry type gigolo. Has no idea what he us talking about but will get good cocktail party invitations by writing this crap.

Krudman provides us with the kind of drivel we would expect from a columnist from the NYT. He’s a putz.
