President Barack Obama's home state of Hawaii's Obamacare exchange spent $35,749 per enrollee, a sum greater than the price of a new 2014 BMW 320i sedan (MSRP $32,750). "Just obscene amounts of money have disappeared into these state exchanges for very little actual performance," said American Commitment President Phil Kerpen. "You just have this huge duplication and waste in places like Hawaii and Oregon."
A CNBC analysis ranking taxpayer-funded federal expenditures on Obamacare found that Hawaii enrolled just 5,744 people through its Obamacare exchange at a cost to taxpayers of $205,342,270. The second-worst performer was the District of Columbia which spent $20,499.37 per enrollee. DC bagged $133,573,927 to sign up just 6,518 people.
CNBC says that the national average cost per enrollee is $6,894.05. However, the number of those counted as enrollees that have actually activated their coverage by paying their first month's premium is presently unclear...

I told my co-worker pretty soon the evil rich would be anyone who is employed regardless of pay.
Under the Clinton Administration and his Democrat congress, it was anyone earning $30k a year.

Obamacare, or the advocates of it?
As long as the “GimmeDats” get “free stuff” they don’t care how much the government spends.
Obamacare needs to be called out for what it is: “Socioeconomic Fascism!!”
It is a war of words, and so far, the liberal swine have won the battle with slick dishonest catch-phrases like:
“affirmative action”
“affordable care act”
“tolerance”
“diversity”
“inclusion”
“income inequality”
“social justice”
Who is in charge of coming up with equally convincing catch-phrases for the conservative side of the battlefield??
-—”GimmeDats” is one of the best phrases we need to start using.
-—”Socioeconomic Fascism”
-—”Greedy Liberals” (after all, they are the greedy ones, not people who want to keep their own hard-earned money)
Additionally, the word “Liberal” has been hijacked by the Leftist Marxists.
There is nothing “liberal” about today’s Democrats. They don’t want individual freedom.
In reality, today’s “Liberals” have nothing in common with “Classical Liberalism.”

Even the strong-on-defense JFK Democrats wouldn’t even recognize today’s fascist liberals.
