‘I like you Obama, but I’m broke’: Americans upset that Obamacare costs money
The Daily Caller ^ | October 8, 2013 | Katie Howland and Whitney Waters

Obamacare’s been stumbling along at quasi-full force for over a week now, and for some Americans, the Affordable Care Act is not all it was cracked up to be:

I checked out an Obamacare exchange and it impressed me.. Until I saw the lowest premium for me was 3x what I am paying now

The problem with Rush is that he really isn’t that smart, he just thinks he is.

It won’t be the latter. The whole idea behind Obamacare is to eventually move to government single-payer. Employer paid health are — what’s left of it — must be extinguished. This will leave a large pool of people clamouring for the government to “do something”! The only fix left will be single payer.

Large employers are already off-loading.

...and if something hits...well maybe it’s our time after all.

Death isn't the worry - living in intense pain for a long time is the concern. That's the control dems will have over us.

I don’t buy that people are going to be left in intense pain IF there is medication or a way to help an individual control that.

If someone is experiencing intense pain, and they have no ...they should high tail it to the emergency room.....and if they have to lie about what’s causing it as if it’s something new!

...”Large employers are already off-loading”....

So aren’t the larger Insurance Companies....

It’s been said 12-18 months for Obamacare to collapse under its own weight.......’that is the design’.

Once it collapses, they will say that the only way to go is single-payer.......

((((Search for the current House Bill HR 676, Medicare for all - its the blueprint for single payer))))

12 to 18 months because it will take that for the claims to ramp up so far in excess of premiums that the private insurance companies will simply exit the market........................They will simply withdraw.......... Give the required notice to insureds and then cancel.

Several major carriers have chosen already to not participate in the exchanges. They made this decision with the intention of being there to pick up all the clients when PPACA is repealed....

.They will be financially sound and able to offer coverage, while their competitors will be reeling under the weight of the massive claim load they have taken on.

Your question is very similar to the one I have been searching an answer to.
Of all the prisoners in our penal (system?) how and who will sign them? How will they pay(some have large assets available to them), or will they get it FREE?

Most will keep voting DemocRAT expecting a different result. Their hatred
for the Conservatives outweighs any common sense. They believe the lies.

'Park rangers' wouldn't allow seniors to get off a bus to go to the bathroom at Yellowstone. In the worst days of Jim Crow, blacks were allowed off a bus to go to the bathroom.

If the seniors and foreign tourists had been prisoners of war, their treatment would have broken Geneva conventions.

What's going to happen if doctors are TOLD NOT to care for certain citizens? Or that a hospital will lose it's license. You think that's extreme? Would you have believed the crap we've seen since the shutdown?

BTW...Obmacare is a sham and that’s all it is...revenue for the Demorats....

Healthcare will never be fair or good in this atrocity....if they get away with this and people move it forward by signing up....then the country will fall.
