We will see by mid 2014 who is raping the public, the gov or insurance companies or both.

And rely on Republicans like McCain,Graham and Boehner to repeal Obama care,reduce government,lower taxes and stand up for conservative values! They’ll do it for all of 30 seconds before caving at the first whimper by the media/democratic machine.

“There will be elections in less than a year — no impeachment needed, just make sure all the Dems are defeated.”

We know we can count on John McCain, Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, Eric Cantor, John Boehner and the rest of the GOP leaders to go down on their swords to stop Obamacare. Look how they ran for the woods when Ted Cruz tried to show leadership on the issue this year.

Sorry, if the Republicans win both houses of Congress in 2014 Obamacare will not be defunded or eliminated. The multinational corporations who fund the GOP want single payer and the GOP will do their bidding.

that’s how it always ends up with marxists/ socialists/ commies/ progressives

in the end, it’s about them controlling the flow of wealth ...giving them the majority of power

Yes, it is thievery and IRS thuggery. Just a start. Free food and free housing is here already, and will just get more elaborate, courtesy Democrat voters.

Its amazing to me that so many simply don't know how much health insurance costs.

I'm not a fan of Odamacare but at least it has made so many wake up to the reality...

In 2009 my premium for myself and 3 dependents was $628 a month with Blue Cross, in 2010 they increased it to $856/month.

I went back to the VA and they could get a $10,000/year policy for $339/month.

Qbamacare is an intrusion on our rights as Americans but these complaints of the cost ring hollow to me..as usual most Americans haven't been paying attention

Conditions like this speed the growth of black markets. People will do some jobs for cash.
Society as we know it will disappear.

Your numbers are almost as bad as ours. I am 59. Hubby 62. I ran our numbers on CoveredCa and it came out to 27% of our income if we used medical services.
I have been posting this ever since the website was up and running but they are just now figuring it out.

I have been paying attention. We have been paying $1000 a month for many years now. That’s still a far cry from the 27% of our income that Obamacare would cost us if we had Obamacare and got sick.

$1000 month so what it under Obamacare that's 27%.

By my simple math you had to be paying at least 25% before on a 50k income. You know the insurance companies have been increasing premiums by 20% or more yearly.

I'm sorry folks complaining about the cost are simply misinformed or possibly in your case mathematically challenged

Sorry my friend. It is too late. What was before is gone, over. Not sure where this ends but it is not going back to what we did before.

BTW...that’s my employer sponsored plan. I suspect things get worse when I lose that benefit. I calculated the pre-tax value of the deductibles based on loss of 42% of each pay check to taxes...I actually lose more than that. To top it off, I have to rent a small room 900 miles from home to keep earning a pay check. Another $700+ per month (after tax) impact from Obama. Not a real happy camper, but still employed.

The Republicans seem to be always “a day late and a dollar short”, as they say.

They were so focused on the website issues, which was a temporary problem, instead of figuring out what the real implications of Obamacare on the net income of working people and telling them.
