House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Thursday that health insurance premiums will go up under Obamacare because people who did not buy insurance before, and thus had no premium at all, will now be forced to buy insurance.
She also urged people to be optimistic about Obamacare. You just see, Pelosi said. I mean be optimistic about it. It is a very, very exciting enterprise.
Its also about what you get for the money, Pelosi added. In other words, people will be getting no lifetime or annual limits on their coverage, no discrimination because of a preexisting medical condition. It has a whole array of quality that is in the legislation. But if you dont have health insurance, and you dont qualify for a subsidy, and youre mandated to have health insurance, yes, you will have an increase, she said.
I dont remember saying that everybody in the country would have a lower premium, because everybody in the country doesnt have health insurance, Pelosi continued. So how could it be lower? But the fact is, the value of what you get for the cost that you pay is a reduction in cost to you.

Almost doesn’t matter what she says.
The legions of Obama voters heard it was gonna be free.
It ain’t free. This is not gonna go well for the Dems.
You used to be able to get everything Obamacare has, you just had to pay for it.
Now everyone is going to have the same insane coverage.
Meanwhile, the GOP does nothing to stop the funding of ObamaCare... and is working w Pelosi to extend ObamaCare to Illegal Aliens thru Rubio-Obama Amnesty.
Pelosi is a nut, but the GOP enables her, I’m afraid
Switzerland burned 500 acccused witches at the stake in 1515.
I am convinced the woman is possessed.
If it is such a great program....why did Congress vote to exempt themselves?
Here is a nifty subsidy calculator for determining your Obamacare costs. Lots of information at site. Also, tells you what you may have based on tobacco use and age. Isn’t that special?http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/
I despised Lautenberg, but the man was, at one time, an honorable soldier.
When Pelosi kicks the bucket, I’m going to throw a block party. I’m going to invite people from my entire neighborhood to celebrate. When I’m good and soused, I’ll sing “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead,” hop on a private jet to wherever she’s interred, and personally drop trou and leave the biggest, wettest, loosest beer-laden crap I’ve ever mustered right smack dab on her tombstone.
This woman is pure evil and total garbage. I am personally ashamed to breathe the same air she does.
now nice of them. thanks I guess
Kinda sums up Pelosi et al's attitude concerning the American people.
When the GOP has a liberal establishment, that is not unexpected.
Ah, so all that talk about lowering the cost of premiums was just.... talk.
It’ll be a weird day when the bill comes to them, won’t it?
I have talked to some recently who STILL believe that Obamacare means free healthcare on demand.
When the GOP has a liberal establishment, that is not unexpected.

Yes. And to heck with those “wacko birds” like Paul and Cruz. The Tea party needs to DECIMATE the Rino’s next year. The f-ing party is over.
I was thinking more along the lines of "entrails wound around a stick", but yeah - a pike would do just fine.
Who would've guessed that too much civilization leads directly to its downfall?
Yet she is still allowed in a Catholic Church for communion.
Plus, many of those without insurance are the young and healthy, who neither go to the ER nor have other claims, will now being paying in, spreading the risk.
