Obamacare was designed to give the finger to middle class Americans... including small business owners.

The folks who benefited from Obamacare were white liberal elites and the black underclass that props them up... Everyone else lost.

All by plan to change to a single payer system totally controlled by government.

Its chickens*** namesake is getting out of town one step ahead of the posse.

He thinks he can hang around like a bad smell to do his own PR in a desperate bid to erase 8 years of sloth, malice and incompetence.

He will quickly change his mind when every question is about his ruination of a quasi-free market.

Another great piece from Michelle Malkin.

You know, as you look out across the broad array of failures and incompetence of the Obama/Clinton cabal, ObamaCare is the failure that is so obvious to middle class Americans.

In terms of voter outrage, this is the one issue that is hurting the Establishment the most.

I had lunch with an old friend last weekend. He just thought the solution to this problem was so obvious — we need Single Payer. Most other countries have it, you know, and they all love it. It works great.

I just kept on chewing.

But clearly, the Democrats understand how this is expected to play out. They’ve been coached and they know what comes next, and they’re just gosh darn excited for the wonderful stuff to come.

If it makes you feel any better, Anthem’s CEO earned $13 million last year, so he must be doing something right.

But it is legal to smoke weed in Colorado, and from what I hear, that fixes everything. /s

My health insurance broker (yes, I had to find someone who could navigate the Medicare mess) told me that individual plans will be going away next year. I was asking about individual plans for my husband whose company doesn't offer the insurance coverage he wants. She told us ‘if he has an employer plan, hold on for dear life’. The single payer option will likely be the only option, pretty soon. Say hello to 15-20% more Fed Taxes for every working American. Gotta pay for all that Socialism somehow.

My second just died.

The first was an employee healthcare plan for retirees that was DROPPED by the employer.

We replaced that plan with a Medicare Advantage Plan from “Today’s Options”. After one year, they just CANCELLED us.

We are signing up with Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield, another Medicare Advantage Plan (a PPO plan).

A ZERO dollar per month plan. (You read correctly, ZERO)

This is not different. In effect your insurance policy is ‘cancelled’ every year and you have new terms to re-up or choose a different plan or a different company altogether.

This is the same with car insurance, home insurance etc. It’s not an unlimited term.

The problem is that companies keep dropping out OR they change their terms drastically from year to year so it’s a bigger change. Before the terms were pretty steady from year to year.

In addition, in the previous system insurance companies could negotiate with the State to raise premiums, reduce coverage, etc.

Obamacare is an abomination but in some respects it is not a ‘change’ from what we had before. The insurance companies are basically a government sponsored monopoly. In theory the government sets the terms they can offer ... but that is just a smokescreen. They lobby hard with whatever entity supposedly ‘regulates’ them to get what they want. That part has not changed. The industry is still a cartel as it was before.

What we have needed all along, and what would have been real CHANGE is to allow open competition between insurance companies and let them offer a variety of plans and across State lines. But the insurance industry DOES NOT WANT THIS. Don’t be fooled. It is the health insurers who are against open competition. Congress (or State legislators) are just doing their bidding.

The private individual insurance market is in peril. The government-run exchanges are flailing. And the vaunted nonprofit Obamacare co-ops that were supposed to dramatically lower costs have bombed despite billions in taxpayer subsidies.

I believe this insurance market meltdown — which many of us predicted from the get-go — is not by accident, but by design.

...

Yep. Has the MSM held Obama accountable? Everything that came out of his mouth was a lie.
