During a debate Thursday at the National Conference Center, the audience openly laughed at Virginia Democratic congressional candidate LuAnn Bennett when she attempted to tout Obamacare’s affordability.

“For the last 50 years, both parties have agreed that we have a health care crisis,” Bennett said. “By 2005, we had 47 million uninsured Americans, and health care costs had grown to 16 percent of our GDP. The Affordable Care Act has made health care more affordable [laughter] –and it’s created access,” she said.

Derisive laughter is all that any leftist policy deserves. May it only increase.

[DIRTYSECRET]

They believe it so it must be true.

[Brilliant]

These people take cluelessness to a whole new level.

Open-mic night?

[Common Sense 101]

The sad thing is that the crow laughed rather than yell the demonic, lying POS of the stage...

[Red Badger]

They should ride her out of town on a rail covered in tar and feathers...............That MIGHT get their attention, but unlikely..................

LuAnn is obviously as much a Moran as her ex-husband, Jim Moran.

It is more affordable only for those who do not have to pay for it. For the rest of us, it is a joke. A very, very expensive joke.

[Crucial]

ObamaCare has hurt Democrats too. This may have been their biggest mistake, that their Democrat constituents really expect their lives to get easier.

[fwdude]

As Rush opined the other day, a lot - A LOT - of Democrat parasites took the sales pitch of Obamacare as "free" insurance and "free" healthcare, such as Peggy Joseph.

The joke's on them.

[boomop1]

The reason is that she is exempt, hasn’t a clue.

[wubjo]

SERIOUSLY!?!?

How OUT-OF-TOUCH with reality can one (and a politician at that) POSSIBLY GET??????

LIBERALISM IS A ...

MENTAL DISORDER!!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Laughter is the best medicine.....

It is also effective to mock the idiocy of leftists.

The Unaffordable Care Act is a disaster, exactly as designed.

[GOPJ]

Democrat liberal elites - - asked Academic liberal elites - - to design a system that would benefit liberal elite donors in the insurance industry.

What could have gone wrong?

[Helicondelta]

Obama’s greatest achievement according to him. What a joke.

Bill Clinton slams ObamaCare as ‘craziest thing in the world’

By Daniel Halper and Marisa Schultz

October 4, 2016

Bill Clinton has blasted President Obama’s signature piece of legislation — ObamaCare — as “the craziest thing in the world.”

“You’ve got this crazy system where all of a sudden, 25 million more people have health care, and then the people who are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half and it’s the craziest thing in the world,” the former president railed at a rally in Michigan on Monday.

Clinton also said the system is hurting moderately successful small businesses — ones that aren’t doing poorly enough to be subsidized and fall just above the line.

“On the other hand, the current system works fine if you’re eligible for Medicaid, if you’re a lower-income working person, if you’re already on Medicare or if you get enough subsidies on a modest income that you can afford your health care,” Clinton said.

“But the people getting killed in this deal are the small-business people and individuals who make just a little bit too much to get any of these subsidies,” he added. ...”
