Bill Maher Turns On Obamacare? ‘It’s More Expensive, Too Confusing’

Liberal comedian Bill Maher, a longtime champion of Obamacare, began to change his tune on President Obama’s signature legislation Friday night.

“Obamacare: You know it’s the signature achievement of obviously this president and like many liberals I’ve been screaming how great it has been and ‘it’s working’ and ‘there’s no doubt,’” Maher said on his HBO show “Real Time.”

“But The New York Times on Sunday did an article that basically said, you know, when Obama said if you like your plan nothing will change — well, everything has changed,” Maher said. “46 percent of people are having trouble paying health care costs now, up 10 percent from a year ago because the deductibles went the up, the co-pays went up. They can’t see the doctor they used to see because he’s in a different network. They go to get questions answered and they’re talking to somebody reading a script in the Philippines. It’s like your prostate cancer is being handled by Comcast now.”

I would like maher to point to just one democrat program that is inexpensive and intuitive or at least easy to use.

[Nachum]

It is called “Bait and Switch”. The plan was designed to be crap and in so doing bring about the calls for single payer.

Eat dirt, Maher.

[RC one]

I don't understand, how can it be more expensive if it's called the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act".

[rktman]

Uh, FBM?

[piasa]

This must be one heck of a cold front, sounds like hell is freezing over

[Nachum]

Yes. FBM.

He gets paid a LOT of money to say exactly the kinds of thing he just said. Kill Obamacare- give them Single Payer.

I hope he gets fired, loses his savings, goes bankrupt, develops cancer and dies in a filthy hospital in Key West.

[Veggie Todd]

I think you’re an assclown, Billy. You better hope your recent tax returns are in order.

[Secret Agent Man]

6 years too f@cking late. Not that funny Bill.

[allendale]

Yep. But some were smart enough and insightful to recognize this inconvenient reality from the beginning. Others with faulty ideological blinders didn’t.

and like many liberals I’ve been screaming how great it has been and ‘it’s working’

So Maher is dropping his longtime lie that he was 'a libertarian' and not 'a liberal', although it has always been obvious that he was a flaming liberal, and in the same breath he admits that he was a credulous idiot for believing Obama's lies.

I guess that's a start...

” The New York Times on Sunday did an article that basically said, you know, when Obama said if you like your plan nothing will change — well, everything has changed,””

In other words, Maher, you have been grubered.

[ForYourChildren]

We've been grubered.

[M-cubed]

and like many liberals I’ve been screaming how great it has been and ‘it’s working’ and ‘there’s no doubt,’” <<<

Gee Bill..you finally figuring out “feelings” cant trump “facts”

[TigersEye]

Only a moron would have thought it would be otherwise.

[The Cajun]

With all that he said, the POS Maher would still vote for Obama again, no doubt in my mind.
