Attention those with individual insurance policies: You could pay more for coverage on the Obamacare exchanges.

Many Americans who now have insurance on the individual market will not be able to keep their policies, as President Obama had promised. That's because the plans don't meet the minimum standards required under the Affordable Care Act, including a $6,350 limit on annual out-of-pocket costs and coverage of mental health, maternity and medication.

The only ones its not “pricier” for are the freeloaders who signed up for free insurance paid for by the productive class.

Paid for by US, taxpayers

Or for the federal employees who pay nothing for their health insurance.

If this monster isn’t strangled in its crib, it is going to make the tax code seem fair and user-friendly by comparison.

The nation needs to perform an abortion on the ill-conceived ObamaCare. Conception occurred during a two part assault starting with sodomy in Congress and a rape of the Constitution at SCOTUS.

Do not worry. Once it has served its purpose and cost millions their healthcare and it is plain obvious it failed, the Democrats will roll out single payer.

“The market has failed” they will say “The only other option is single-payer”

Right now everyone is focus in on the individual insurance policy holders. Wait until regular insurance policy holders get a load of their increases to pay for all those new things. This is the joy of getting to keep your insurance policy.

ObamaCare is cheaper than honest insurance if you already have AIDS. I imagine this terrible law is a big hit with its intended audience.

Oh, brother, that one's got some backspin on it. "We don't want you charged more than $6,350 a year in case you have a medical problem so we're going to jack up your premiums from less than that to more than that." "Congratulations, citizen, your chocolate ration has been increased from 30 to 25 grams!"

The "fix" to the "glitch" in ObamaCare is Single-Payer HillaryCare. It is already baked in the cake just after her Coronation. Republicans have to fight it at every turn, in every venue, regardless of the names they are called or the intimidation they receive. McCain will not be an aid in this effort.

On the other hand, ObamaCare is a pretend law that required extra-Constitutional activities to implement. The law was passed without reading it, bribes were used to pass it, and special considerations were given to certain states who were waffling. Some religions and Unions were exempted.

The SCOTUS violated the “origination” concept of the creation of taxes - taxes can only originate in the House. But, in this case, it came to the SCOTUS as a mandate to purchase a product or service and SCOTUS tortuously morphed it into a tax.

Then, after the President signed it, he changed some sections, refused to enforce some sections, and delayed some sections - all in violation of the law itself, and breaking other laws and Constitutional processes. It is not even the same law Roberts ruled on, it has change so much.

It is not the Law of the Land, it is a Law of Won Man.

The nation may soon go through the puking, shakes, sweating, and convulsions of Hopium withdrawal. Let’s detox the country of this dangerous Alinsky-inspired social drug. Let the healing begin before a second Civil War starts.

Where is the second fight in front of SCOTUS? If we are stuck with this law for 3 more years, there won’t be a country left to save. We can’t wait in hopes of a Republican President - we need to act NOW.

The point was to blame the evil insurance companies for raising rates for finally being forced by the good obama to no longer provide “junk” insurance. We’ve seen this talking point in the last few days.

And then of course, government to the rescue....death panels, long waits, SEIU employees, and all.

They’re having more trouble selling this thanks to the site problems....pointing out government incompetence sort of throws water on their dastardly plan.

At which point the Republican party should offer a free-market alternative. If we don't exorcise the demons (InSane McCain, Linda Graham, B*tch McConnell) in 2014, that response will be crickets.

Largest expansion of a program that doesn’t work in history - Medicaid.

Why are the republicans allowing some animals to be more equal than others. THE REAL CITIZENS THAT MAKE THIS WHOLE SYSTEM WORK NEED TO STAND AND FIGHT. Don’t rely on the flatulent republicans.

Wrong.

It is already being blamed on insurance companies, GOP and Tea Party. Amnesty for what they now call *The Dreamers*, illegals brought here as kids, is in full swing. No matter what Congress does, zer0 will halt deportations by regulatory decree.

It is Democrats forever.

The real kicker is that the increased premiums are only the beginning of Obamacare’s financial penalties for Americans. The deductibles will make the premium increases look tame by comparison. And if you like your doctor, and Obamacare doesn’t make you get a new one, your doctor will probably retire. Fascism sucks.
