I wondered how that was gonna work.
Where in the Sam hill is the media on this?? Why aren’t we hearing about these failures in the MSM??? These failures are due to Obama Care pressures.
Can you imagine the media reaction, if a Republican government program of some kind had utterly failed to achieve the stated goals? Can you imagine the media talking about such a program delivering less in services at greater cost than promised????
Instead the media virtually ignore the many failures of obamacare.
By this time next year there will be full-throated calls to bring back the Public Option.
Single payer in five.
Yep, so many people thought this was such a good way to go, to have a big plan to cover the people....yep, really good way to take YOUR money and put THEIR money in THEIR pockets...
What was wrong with going to an insurance companies and seeing what plans they had and what YOU could afford instead of THE GOVERNMENT....
My Grandmother told me when I was little, you want something that is working good broken, give it to the GOVERNMENT....and it has never failed!!!
This is so unexpected. Who would have guessed that requiring people to over-insure with coverage they don’t want would encourage people to use what they paid for, and increase the cost of medical care? What are the odds that socialism would fail yet again? Isn’t it due for a success?
The co-op lost $50 million last year, partly because over 20,000 more people had purchased the insurance than originally estimated.Funny how most private companies don't fail from having too many customers. Must be a government thing -- Lose a little on every customer and make it up in volume.
Here in OK, we decided not to play that game but it’s a rare week that passes in the online comment pages of the local paper without some lib-prog bemoaning our backward ways in OK and using this as an example of keeping the poor people down because we didn’t take the federal bait.
I live in ky. I’m 61. Jan 1, 2014 I cancelled my if insurance. I’ve been insurance free ever sinc and for the first time in my life.
At this point it feels like getting insurance would demonstrate a lack of faith in the Lord.
That’s funny...TN didn’t set up any Obamacare co-ops or exchanges.
Man’s Health Insurance Triples; Obama Fines Him BIG TIME
By Kimberly Morin -
A man in Indiana posted a fine from the IRS because his family didn’t have health insurance.
Why didn’t he have health insurance? Under Obamacare his premiums rose from $398 per month to $1,400 per month. The ‘Affordable Care Act’ made health insurance unaffordable for this man and his family and now he has to pay the price.
Here’s the commentary on his Facebook post:
Thanks Obama for the fine for not having insurance
Because the the plan I had that was 398.00 a month for my family only increased to 1400.00 a month in 2014
So I chose not to pay 1400.00 a month
So got a nice little fine
Thanks for the affordable care act.
Thanks for making it so affordable!!
This is a man who works hard to earn money for his family and pays taxes on top of it. He can’t afford the increase in insurance THANKS to Obamacare and now he has to pay an ‘UNPAID SHARED RESPONSIBILITY’ fine?
This guy is paying thousands of dollars in taxes for OTHER people to get FREE health insurance and the government has the nerve to say HE hasn’t paid HIS SHARE?
This is happening to millions of Americans across the country.
Democrats built this and Democrats are the ones destroying the middle class. One ‘unshared responsibility fine’ at a time.
