Townhall ^ | Oct 7, 2016 | Leah Barkoukis

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 Obamacare’s 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 it’s created access,” she said.

No, Bill sees that Clinton Inc is about to lose the race, and he fully appreciates what that portends.

At the eleventh hour, his (admittedly masterful) political instincts are kicking in, and he’s attempting to re-position Hillary in the minds of voters.

Watch for the lamestreams to pick up on his cue, and begin painting Hillary as an outsider.

Oh wow. Now we’re paying for a huge amount of lazy, unmotivated users on the system. What did they do before for health benefits?

My premiums have increased, my deductibles have increased and my coverage is worse than it was before ObamaCare. But hey, I have coverage for things I don’t need or want.

Yes, I know. As a man, I can get a pap-smear and a mammogram.

LuAnn should change from “running against Comstock” to running away from Comstock after this stupid statement.

I wonder how many laughers in the audience were Democrats. If significant, that would be an eye-opener, mouth-shutter for the libs who tout Obamacares’ success like a pimp touts his touts as the best and disease free.

...her ex-husband, Jim Moran.

Well, at least she had the good sense to become ex-Mrs. Moron. Too bad nothing remains.

They probably went to the ER for every skinned knee, and never paid the bills.

Bubba is trying to deny having said it, but

“Bill Clinton slams ObamaCare as ‘craziest thing in the world’”

will stick to him like glue for life just like the blue dress.
