Incoming from Democrats:
"Dem Party is F****d." That was the subject line of an email sent to me Sunday by a senior Democratic consultant with strong ties to the White House and Capitol Hill. The body of the email contained a link to this Los Angeles Times story about Obamacare "sticker shock:"
"These middle-class consumers are staring at hefty increases on their insurance bills as the overhaul remakes the healthcare market. Their rates are rising in large part to help offset the higher costs of covering sicker, poorer people who have been shut out of the system for years."
"Although recent criticism of the healthcare law has focused on website glitches and early enrollment snags, experts say sharp price increases for individual policies have the greatest potential to erode public support for President Obama's signature legislation."
In his story, reporter Chad Terhune also quoted a letter sent to a California insurance company executive. "I was all for Obamacare," wrote a young woman complaining about a 50 percent rate hike related to the health care law, "until I found out I was paying for it."

The Democratic consultant said none of this is news to him, but he wonders why Obama wasn't honest with Americans. He predicted surprise and outrage over higher costs and lesser coverage. "We will own this problem forever," the Democrat wrote.

"poorer people who have been shut out of the system unwilling to pay for anything for years."
"poorer people who have been shut out of the system depending on others for years."
Who the hell 'shut them out of the system'? I saw a couple of women use their welfare credit card on manicures/pedicures over the weekend.
What else are we going to fund for them? Cars, RVs, vacation homes? Pretty much all the basics plus some are already taxpayer funded.
Can you imagine not having to pay a mortgage, car payment, healthcare, insurance, taxes (& more taxes) food, etc.?
Of course, many of these people have insurance through their employers and will not be impacted. But just try tax reform, wit
Obama and the Democrats actual stated goal is to form a new coalition of Political, Cultural, Technological, Managerial, Academic , Cultural and Financial Elites at the Top, and enough of an Under Class and people dependent upon government at the bottom to give them a sustainable electoral majority
They are jettisoning the old Working Class, Middle Class and Union Members that used to be the backbone of the Democrat Party.
This is why illegal immigration is so critical for them - they have to rapidly manufacture new patronage dependent voter blocks because they are intentionally destroying their old voter blocks.
You mean that Medicaid recipients get dental??
Yep. The income tax was a means for the Democrats to take a cut from the working man’s wages. Obamacare is a means for the Democrats to take a cut of the working man’s/woman’s BENEFITS. They have to pay those Democrat voters some way.
Their kids have the best looking teeth in school.
And of course we were warned that once we discovered we could vote ourselves the treasury, our country would be set upon the path of self destruction.
Even though it may have been “legal” or “Constitutional”, it doesn’t mean that it was “right”.
It took a little more than 100 years to discover the true path to destroying this country, and just over 240 to accomplish the task.
"I'm beginning to see Chief Justice Roberts wisdom in deciding that Obamacare was a legitimately processed law, however bad it might be. And from that I'm beginning to think that ROBERTS REVENGE is setting in."
I’m sorry, but I wholly disagree with that sentiment. Roberts was a coward when he did not squash this unconstitutional abomination. He did not perform his primary function as he should have, IMO, and his lame ass excuses only confirm my belief.
