Is the Affordable Care Act Working?
After a year fully in place, the Affordable Care Act has largely succeeded in delivering on President Obama’s main promises, an analysis by a team of reporters and data researchers shows. But it has also fallen short in some ways and given rise to a powerful conservative backlash.

PING!!!
The old gray whore.
As has the NYT.
Welp, my insurance (through employer) for 2015 is going up 47% a month. That is less I now have to spend on things I need (already struggling) let alone things I would “like”. I live in PA and its looking like Corbett (the idiot gas tax hiker that he is) is going to lose to Tom Wolf (who wants to raise minimum wage to $15.00 an hour). I am pretty much resigning to the fact I will have to leave my state due to socialism. Only question is, where do/can I go?
More people have insurance because they were commanded to get insurance at the point of a gun.
It’s called armed robbery.
I'll take that as a NO
The Five Year Plan has largely succeeded in delivering on President Stalin’s main promises, an analysis by a team of reporters and data researchers shows. But it has also fallen short in some ways and given rise to a powerful backlash by running dog reactionary saboteurs.
What could go wrong?
I was going to ping you earlier about a Mars Hill Church article I posted.
Mars Hill Church is/was a mega-church headquartered in Seattle and is going through a founding pastor scandal and a financial scandal.
I wasn't sure if you had even heard of Mars Hill, or cared, so I didn't ping.
*Funniest reply so far
Obamacare’s vast cost to government is simply being covered up by printed Fed money. That is the only way NYTimes can claim “success”
And also by not reporting the huge damaging effects its having on supply of doctors, costs, and jobs.
Many of those "insured" are subsidized. It's much more affordable when someone else is paying for it.
Yes. It is destroying private insurance so everyone will depend upon the government for their health care.
Davy Crockett, back in 1836 and in similar straits, left a sign on the door of his cabin to wit:
........”I’ve gone to Texas, the rest of you can go to hell”!
Definitely doesn’t get much coverage on this side of the state (actually got one small article when the main guy left), but I do see it featured prominently in the ST most every day lately.
I’m told there is no way right to buy health insurance if you wanted to and at any price.
Trying to buy a policy. Every broker I talked to said sign up starts November 15 but the policy will not go int effect until January 15.
Affordable Care means private citizens can’t buy health insurance. What kind of nonsense is that?
Ohio.
