Here locally we were spared huge premium increases because Highmark and UPMC are having a big public spitting battle over which one is more EEEEEEVIL. And neither wants to prove the other’s point by raising rates too much.

Once that gets settled I imagine we’ll be off to the races.

...premiums have doubled for some middle class families... “It’s
devastating. I started crying...we have worked so hard to get out of
credit card debt, get ahead on the car loan, transfer our mortgage to
a 15 from a 30 year mortgage… and for what?”

Like I’m gonna get health care insurance that costs more than my car payment and my mortgages on both my properties combined.

This brings to mind some of the dialogue from the movie Armageddon. When the human President asks the alien what they want, the answer is something like “we want you to die.”

In this article are some of the reasons that, as bad as 2013 was for Obama and the dems, 2014 will be significantly worse.

And the hits keep coming.

You aint seen nothing yet.

The Democrats own this mess.

Wait until all those lapsed policy holders start going to the Doctor or the hospital.

There’s nothing hidden about it.

In California, policies for about 900,000 Californians are being canceled because of Obamacare’s mandates and about 2/3rd of these do not qualify for subsidies, according to The Chicago Tribune. The result—these folks will be paying higher premiums.


I have to laugh at the morons form high income, high cost of living states such as California, New York, Massachuttest ect and the Union members with Golden health care packages who were the major supporters of ObamaCare.

All of the even lower l middle class liberals in these states have incomes above the subsidy levels due to the inflated cost of living in in those states.

They are already hard pressed supporting their existing entitlement burdens and they are just going to get wiped out by ObamaCare a fact that that just won't sink in due to their extreme focus on Leftist ideology.

In California, they have had the highest number of sign ups, which is being viewed as a huge victory, but most of the sign ups are people in the gay community who want coverage for treatment for their very expensive treatment for their pre existing HIV infections or they are illegals or entitlement riders looking for a free ride.

The number of actual people who will be paying into the system instead of such off it are minimal.

ObamaCare is going to be a disaster that is really, really going to impact the economy as a whole as well.

It is amazing how even so called conservative media sources have ignored how Christmas sales this year have been lower and could be much lower than last year. These total 2013 decreases in Christmas sales, if they happen will be due to Obamacare's increased costs. This bad news will get buried in the New Year's Eve annual dumping of bad news by the DC criminals in power.

Many national retailers are staying open for a 100 hours straight with big sales, hoping to stay alive now and in 2014. Will JCP, KMart, and _______________ (fill in the blank) disappear next year, if their desperate 100 hours of staying open fails to bring in the bucks.

If the marginal corporations survive 2013, will they survive in 2014 when the full impact of Obozo Care impacts our nation's population.

The really big impact on the economy will be felt when ObozoCare becomes the law next year. The 2014 total dollar impact or loss of net family $'s after taxes and expenses will be severe.

Those hired for Christmas will be gone for the most part by the end of this week.

What will the real unemployment figures look like in January through December 2014.

ObamaCare, the Grinch which stole Christmas 2013 will take away from each of us, throughout 2014.

The Supreme Court determined this was a tax; why do these people seem surprised that taxes aremeant to be paid?

The media is doing a good job keeping this out of the headlines; I’m sure they know what would happen in the mid-terms. These ObamaCare misery stories have to be circulated far & wide to have any effect; the networks certainly won’t air them.
