During a debate Thursday at the National Conference Center, the audience openly laughed at Virginia Democratic congressional candidate LuAnn Bennett when she attempted to tout Obamacares affordability.
For the last 50 years, both parties have agreed that we have a health care crisis, Bennett said. By 2005, we had 47 million uninsured Americans, and health care costs had grown to 16 percent of our GDP. The Affordable Care Act has made health care more affordable [laughter] and its created access, she said.

Derisive laughter is all that any leftist policy deserves. May it only increase.

LuAnn is obviously as much a Moran as her ex-husband, Jim Moran.

It is more affordable only for those who do not have to pay for it. For the rest of us, it is a joke. A very, very expensive joke.

ObamaCare has hurt Democrats too. This may have been their biggest mistake, that their Democrat constituents really expect their lives to get easier.

As Rush opined the other day, a lot - A LOT - of Democrat parasites took the sales pitch of Obamacare as "free" insurance and "free" healthcare, such as Peggy Joseph.
The joke's on them.

Laughter is the best medicine.....
It is also effective to mock the idiocy of leftists.
The Unaffordable Care Act is a disaster, exactly as designed.

Democrat liberal elites - - asked Academic liberal elites - - to design a system that would benefit liberal elite donors in the insurance industry.

Bill Clinton slams ObamaCare as craziest thing in the world
By Daniel Halper and Marisa Schultz
October 4, 2016
Bill Clinton has blasted President Obamas signature piece of legislation ObamaCare as the craziest thing in the world.
Youve got this crazy system where all of a sudden, 25 million more people have health care, and then the people who are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half and its the craziest thing in the world, the former president railed at a rally in Michigan on Monday.
Clinton also said the system is hurting moderately successful small businesses ones that arent doing poorly enough to be subsidized and fall just above the line.
On the other hand, the current system works fine if youre eligible for Medicaid, if youre a lower-income working person, if youre already on Medicare or if you get enough subsidies on a modest income that you can afford your health care, Clinton said.
But the people getting killed in this deal are the small-business people and individuals who make just a little bit too much to get any of these subsidies, he added. ...
