President Obama is already pointing the finger of blame at greedy insurance companies for what many expect will be huge ObamaCare premium hikes when people go to sign up for their 2016 health insurance.

[Sirius Lee]

IF they were so greedy, then why did homobama bail them out last year with billions which the Congress did not appropriate?

So they'd keep their mouths shut when he criticizes them.

Hush money, if you will.

Oh my, when it is not the insurance companies to blame, it is the NRA or Fox News or people clinging to their guns and religion. It is never, ever him, the spoiled rich brat who grew up in privileged country club surroundings in Honolulu with his white mother’s family.

This is the dog and pony show FOLKS,the insurance companies wanted Obamacare,they are getting reimbursed for any losses,this is all for show,we are all getting screwed

[SMARTY]

“...the spoiled, underachiever, lazy, shallow, superficial, overindulged, affirmative action, rich brat ...”

I elaborated on your description

[Zakeet]

Actually, the health insurance companies deserve a lot of the blame for what's happening ... after all, they drafted the damn law ... and their lobbyists bought the necessary Democrat votes. Remember the old adage, If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas!

Blaming the "greedy" [you fill in the blank] capitalists has been a winning strategy for the Democrats for a long time. See how well Bernie Sanders is doing in the polls.

Leftists ignore natural law, predictable human behavior, basic economics, and common sense to force their Utopian views on all the people. This will continue until the leftists run out of your money.

Watch for Obama to quietly change the rules again and agree to continue subsidizing the insurance companies to get them to reduce the increases, then say "I told you so."

T’would be fun to hear them call the spade a spade, though...

[Joe Boucher]

is NOTHING this quota boy does his responsibility?
what a pathetic little boy.

[Norm Lenhart]

I just wanted to point out that some people DEMANDED that we elect two people to lead the House and senate that CAMPAIGNED on WORKING WITH Obama. These same two people were directly responsible for funding Romney...sorry, Obamacare three times now.

They are also responsible for a large number of things Obama needed passed that would not be destroying whats left of America today.

So when you see these people, and especially FREEPERS who did their part to ensure Obama separated you from your money and your medical choices, be sure to thank them as ultimately Barack Hussien Obama derived all this power from them directly. He would not have been able to do ANY of this without the very people they DEMANDED we elect.

[Mycroft Holmes]

I'd be happy if they called a spade a fracking shovel.

Seriously...

Bullship!!!

obamacare was passed and signed without a single pubbie vote and there wasn't a damned thing the pubbies could have done.

When you declare that FReepers did our part to ensure obama separated us from our money, you are full of crap, way past your eyeballs.

You are always so quick to criticize FReepers with whom you, in your twisted mind disagree, that you need to get your facts straight.

Piss off, mate.

[Norm Lenhart]

Piss off yourself. The blessed GOP funded the damn thing three times so their vote didn’t mean jack sXit.

[Norm Lenhart]

PS: Point out what I posted that is FACTUALLY incorrect. In 2 years not one of you GOP apologists has done it yet Just made more excuses for the hell you brought on America with your ‘lesser evil’ voting.

[Organic Panic]

I HATE OBAMA. I HATE THAT MAN. EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING IS DISGUSTING, EVIL, AND TYRANNICAL!!! He is a liar a thief a huckster.

But we all know the end game. He said himself he wants single payer and it will take 10 years to accomplish. Only 5 more to go.

[bert]

Obama (and John and Mitch) needs a great shock, a great scare........ he fears the people

there is a need for a few hundred thousand conservatives to march around on the mall demanding his ouster. mid August would be good

[Buckeye McFrog]

All part of the plan.

Make you hate insurance companies with a white-hot passion so that when the whole thing blows-up you’ll clamor for single payer.

Insurance companies excel at playing right into this BTW.

[Amagi]

The worst and lowest IQ POTUS in history is a shameless serial liar.
