Ironical?

Entirely predictable outcome. It’s only ironical because of the economic ignoramus Obama and his equally ignorant henchmen trumpeting inanities.

It's the nature of any subsidies. Costs will rise and gobble up the subsidy. With Obamacare being required, it isn't a matter of a policy having to be affordable. It's a matter of being less unaffordable than the competition.

Doesn't anybody study Economics anymore?

I just did my income taxes

It came to a question of “Did I have health insurance coverage” and I answered NO (there was no option for “none of your f%^&ing business”)

It then said under ‘special circumstances’ my fine/tax could be waived and it listed 5 things- one of which “It was too expensive” and so I picked that..

Then it said “Congratulations! your fee is waived”

So, apparently you need to buy insurance, unless you don’t

Medication costs are rising pretty much across the board as well. I’ve seen 25% increase in mine..

If given enough time obamacare will take as much as 50% of a families income to be sustainable.

I didn’t go through an exchange but this year my premium went up 60% from the previous year - for the same coverage.

Bad news for Obamacare is good news for America. I will celebrate this great news and pray that the terrible law will be overturned by the Supremes this year and removed from the books completely as soon as we have a real president.
