As Obamacare Takes On Water, The Electorate Wakes Up To Its Horrors
Chicago Tribune ^ | October 31, 2013 | by Grace-Marie Turner

The Obama administration is clearly in full-defense mode over the rolling disaster of ObamaCare, and it is making every effort to deflect criticism to others.

In fact, it is the administration's fault. The health law says you can keep your health insurance policy only if it is "grandfathered" and you have kept the same plan with virtually no changes since March 23, 2010, when ObamaCare was enacted.

These latest White House deflections will not hold. ObamaCare is taking on water, and people now are finding out for themselves why this law is so very wrong for America.

I’m certain that a high percentage of them would try to convince themselves that they weren’t lied to, that it’s “worth it” to pay more, because they’re getting a better deal (even though the numbers will put the lie to that),

and that it’s worth it in order to support “the cause”.

I wonder how the Daily Kos crowd is taking this. After all, they are also seeing their premiums increase and policies being cancelled, assuming they had policies in the first place.

Or for that matter the A$$HAT$ over at Democrat Underground? What a bunch of DUmmies.

I don't know many and none who have blamed anyone other than the Republicans for the disaster. In their psychotic minds 0 can do no wrong, so anything that goes wrong because of what he does must be someone else's fault. I kid you not - total insanity.

I’m convinced that the majority of the 18 to 35 year olds have not tried to sigh-up and will not until the last second. At that point the world will close in on Obama-care. December 31st will be ugly. The dems will be asking for mercy. But we have two months before A-Day.

Silly. The only way the general public would “wake up” is if their smartphones suddenly quit working.

This will pass, besides, Obama is cool, and he really cares.

The Congressional Republicans better not offer anything to help except repeal.

You wish! Expect this any day now:

"My friends, it's time to roll up our sleeves and take the bull by the horns! Only a bi-partisan effort, working with our colleagues across the aisle, will make the President's signature legislation a success! Let us set aside our differences and work together to repair HealthCare.gov, and the Affordable Care Act for all Americans!"

From what I can see, the DUmmies are all dutifully repeating the meme that “insurance companies were giving terrible insurance” and it’s great the ObeyMeCare is “forcing them to give the right coverage”.

Oh, and Sebelius is Wonder Woman.

Being a public school teacher I walk among them, unseen; a pilgrim in an unholy land. I've taught both middle and high school (majority of time as an inner city high school teacher) for almost 25 years and run an insurgency for the truth all of that time. So I understand (fully) your sentiment on this. Welcome to my world.

Don't count on that. That's why I left the Republican Party after 37 years of commitment and activism last January. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. When the conservatives form a viable third party, I'll join, but until then I'm happy as an independent.

How many of us or any group knew about this IED in the fraudulent Obamascare re tge grandfathering and time line?

I think Linda Carter is a conservative. She must be vomiting right now.
