I’m okay with riots. As long as the police defend themselves as vigorously as necessarily to avoid any injuries to fellow cops and to other decent people, I don’t care what the looters do to themselves or to each other. If parasites want to riot over not enough free stuff, it’s time they showed who they are.
I am starting to think that Obama has been played by the insurance industry.
They pretended to go along with this thing, just as long as they could suck big subsidies out of it.
Now that it is on the verge of destroying them they are starting the riots, two weeks before an election.
Elect Trump, kill Obamacare, but keep the money you sucked out of it all those years. Fiendishly brilliant if I do say.
Rioters don’t have health insurance.
How bad is it? THIS bad ............

The Good and the Bad of Obamacare
http://healthpolicyandmarket.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-good-and-bad-of-obamacare.html
In this interview [ http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000562441 ], I mentioned the information a broker in Naples Florida sent me regarding some of their customers buying Obamacare compliant individual health insurance.
Here are the broker’s 2017 examples:
Family of four, mom and dad age 40, two kids. Lowest Bronze annual premium $13,176. Deductible $7,150 single, $14,300 family. Income $130,000. Not eligible for subsidies. Exempt from the individual mandate because their premium exceeds 8.16% of their modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). The broker points out that their premium plus one deductible totals $20,236––16% of MAGI––the point at which they can begin to collect on claims (there may be some nominal first dollar benefits such as a wellness benefit).
Single woman age 45. Lowest Bronze premium $4,968. Deductible of $7,150. Income of $50,000. Not eligible for a subsidy. Exempt from the individual mandate because her premium exceeds 8.16% of her MAGI. Broker points out that her customer’s premium plus the deductible totals $12,118––24% of the customer’s MAGI––the point at which she can begin to collect on claims.
Couple ages 64 and 61. Lowest Bronze premium $20,004. Deductible of $7,150 single and $14,300 family. Income of $150,000. Not eligible for subsidies. Exempt from the individual mandate because premium exceeds 8.16% of MAGI. The broker points out that the total of their annual premium and one deductible is $27,154––18% of their MAGI––the point at which they can begin to collect on claims.
Premiums obviously vary by market. Rather than taking my word for it, I suggest you go to HealthCare.gov and check out a few markets. You do not need to log in to browse the plan offerings. You need only insert a zip code and age and family status, as well as to enter a big income like $100,000 to be assured of getting the unsubsidized price no matter their status. The unsubsidized price is the price that half of the people buying Obamacare compliant plans are paying.

And remember these mandatory premiums are for what is essentially a catastrophic policy. Deductibles are generally in excess of of 6 to 8 thousand, a threshold most won’t meet. So people are being asked to pay from 6 to 8 hundred a month for the privilege of paying their medical expenses out of pocket.
They don’t have to riot - just vote Trump.
This is the well-engineered push for complete government-run socialized medicine. Any opposition will be portrayed as support for the riots.
A flashback of Obama dropping one of his most egregious Obamacare lies, one that also proves he doesn’t have even a basic understanding of math...

“Economist On Rising ACA Costs: You’re Going To Have ‘Riots’”
Total Bullcrap, not in this land of the sheepeople! The majority of American people are soft and will sacrifice there liberty and freedom for temporary comforts, they elected Obama, twice! and voted in democrat/socialist to rule in just about every major city.
Best Levin anti-ACA rant EVER:
