Independent: those lying bastards, they said premiums would go down!

Republican: told ya so!

Democrat: I suspect this article is somehow racist.

And Romney is not running ads or talking about this why????

And he’s not talking about falling living standards, wasteful spending, and $16,000,0000,0000,0000 in rising debt why????

"with 21 percent set to drop health insurance to workers altogether and 38 percent planning to make employees pay much more. "

"but if you make less than $250,000 per year you, will not pay one dime more in taxes if you vote for my plan" .....Obummer.

Add this to $60 - 90 per week in increased gasoline cost...... Such fools!

Those polled were so down on President Obama and Congress that many said they wouldn't start a business today. Asked if they would start a new business, 55 percent said no. Among the reasons they cited were high taxes, health care costs, regulations and an uncertain economy

I don't think these people are the ones running around with the "I ♥ My Obamacare" stickers on their cars.

That was then:

Obama: "If You Like Your Doctor, You Can Keep Your Doctor. Period." 6/2009

Obama Lies

This is now:

A majority of small business owners and manufacturers are mulling drastic changes to comply with Obamacare, with 21 percent set to drop health insurance to workers altogether and 38 percent planning to make employees pay much more.

(Think any "journalist" will ask President Douchebag about this? Neither do I.)

The best thing that can happen is for companies to discontinue their health insurance plans (the ones that can by law .. under 50 employees).

Then people will have to shop for insurance on their own and pay for it on their own. This will have a sobering effect. People will find out what health insurance costs and have a better handle on health CARE costs as well. They’ll have to watch what things actually cost.

I’m trying to see a silver lining in all this. If people have to actually face the bills themselves (for both insurance and out of pocket costs) then they are more likely to demand lower prices.

What is unknown is whether the government will allow competition.

Does everyone realize that us Seniors on SS have $100 taken out of our checks EVERY MONTH for Medicare + the cost of supplement and prescription coverage.

If you get $1500 or $500 a month in SS...it's still $100.

When the program started...it was $3 per month....approx an hours wages. Do you know personally know anyone that makes $100 per hour?? I don't.

Private insurance is fast becoming unsustainable. Premiums have risen dramatically, and services rendered have dropped even more dramatically. Inflation has eaten up resources available for private insurance, making it unaffordable, no matter how necessary. Things are working out exactly as the left and Obama planned. Americans are being squeezed out of making a choice between private healthcare and socialist oppression. We will get the latter by default, and we will pay dearly for it. Welcome to the age of serfdom.
