Somebody’s gotta pay the freight so Pelosi’s musicians, artists, professional students and other deadheads will be free to live & create ... and all that other stuff that came out of her stinking pie-hole when she was telling us we had to pass it in order to see what was in it, after we attended town hall meetings, shouting, demanding it be ****canned.

When I was growing up and when I had kids in the 70s, we didn’t have insurance. A doctor’s visit was $25 at the most.

All ‘baked in the cake’. Now, there will be a meme campaign for ‘single payer’.

Tonight Bret Bair played an interesting portion of an interview with Obama from 2010 , when Obama was tying to justifying taking three-quarters of a trillion in funding from Medicare to make the Affordable Care Act look affordable:
"You're eliminating the insurance subsidies in Medicare that aren't making anyone healthier but only making the insurance companies richer..."
and the proposed cure for the rapidly rising rates under Obamacare? - more subsidies to the insurance companies......

there are two separate issues
the cost of health care

the cost of non employer provided insurance/medicare and Obamacare

1. Health care is rising for all independent of Obamacare. There is an Obamacare increase component but It is not quantified separately

2. Obamacare cost is rising terrifically when purchased through an exchange or direct. We don’t know about hidden cost rises like deductibles.

When equating to voters, #1 are by far the majority and #2 are a .decided minority and are not as harshly affected by Obamacare. The wrath of many of these voters will not benefit hillary.

Obamacare is not an issue actually affecting most voters.

“Emanuel said that “most” Americans are not seeing 25% premium increases, because they get subsidies.”

Subsidies paid by taxpayers. The gubbmint has NO MONEY apart from what it steals from the sheeple.
It is the taxpayers paying these subsidies.

Time to water the tree of liberty, IMO.

Can’t afford a government mandated ‘tax’ gets fined by the IRS. Makes sense. To a liberal.

We need to remember that it is the same people that gave us “Affordable Health Care” are the same ones who are now promising “Affordable College”

What could go wrong?./s
