The folks who benefited from Obamacare were white liberal elites and the black underclass that props them up... Everyone else lost.
All by plan to change to a single payer system totally controlled by government.
So it is working as designed.
Its chickens*** namesake is getting out of town one step ahead of the posse.
He thinks he can hang around like a bad smell to do his own PR in a desperate bid to erase 8 years of sloth, malice and incompetence.
He will quickly change his mind when every question is about his ruination of a quasi-free market.
Another great piece from Michelle Malkin.
You know, as you look out across the broad array of failures and incompetence of the Obama/Clinton cabal, ObamaCare is the failure that is so obvious to middle class Americans.
In terms of voter outrage, this is the one issue that is hurting the Establishment the most.
Sure looks like it.
I had lunch with an old friend last weekend. He just thought the solution to this problem was so obvious — we need Single Payer. Most other countries have it, you know, and they all love it. It works great.
I just kept on chewing.
But clearly, the Democrats understand how this is expected to play out. They’ve been coached and they know what comes next, and they’re just gosh darn excited for the wonderful stuff to come.
That would have been the time to stop chewing.
They do NOT “love it”
Ask them right out- who the F*** told you they love it, and if they are too stupid to recognize propaganda?
This is not the time to play nice anymore.
Let me guess - HilLIARy voter?
Your job- and EVERYONE FREEPERS job is to find and convert as many people as possible.
Everyone I know who voted for Obama and Obamacare are now voting for Trump.
All by plan to change to a single payer system totally controlled by government.
Many states expanded Medicaid with federal funds. Now that those funds are expiring, it will be up to the state taxpayers to foot that bill. It will have a huge impact on states. In Wisconsin, Governor Walker did not expand Medicaid. SO, if you make under $11,000 in Wisconsin you are ineligible for health insurance subsidies though Obama care and are not eligible for Medicaid. Your only option is to pay the full premium.
Good thing nobody read the bill before passing it.
The guy lives in Maine. He works for Maine state government. So that should tell you something. He’s one of my oldest friends. I won’t pretend to agree with him, but losing his friendship (and his wife’s) would be pointless.
I’m in MA. I pick my battles carefully because I like to have a social life. If I insist on “converting” all of the people around me, I’d basically be hanging out with my dog.
“As Anthem abandons PPOs, the cost of remaining individual market plans will soar an average of 20 percent.
It’s a nationwide implosion.
Individual market customers on the Obamacare exchange in Oklahoma learned last week that they’ll face average rate hikes of a whopping 76 percent. Last month, Maryland approved double-digit rate hikes for all individual market plans. In August, Tennessee approved rate increases of between 44 and 62 percent for three insurers still carrying individual market plans. And in Minnesota, where the individual market is on the brink of collapse, state officials recently agreed to raise rates an average of 60 percent next year — affecting an estimated 250,000 people both on and off the Obamacare exchanges.”
That’s not a flaw, it’s a feature......
If it makes you feel any better, Anthem’s CEO earned $13 million last year, so he must be doing something right.
But it is legal to smoke weed in Colorado, and from what I hear, that fixes everything. /s
I don’t understand how Anthem’s CEO compensation is relevant to obamacare failing.
His job is to maximize profit and long term return to his shareholders. Apparently he’s doing a great job of it as he got his company out of the hellhole called obamacare.
What he’s actually paid is irrelevant.
Just trying to look at the bright side.
I would agree totally....it’s just a designed program to get people through eight to ten years....where payee or full-up Medicare will occur. It’s a “step”....that’s all.
Anyone who thinks that the end-step of full-up Medicare will be the same as what they get now....will be in for a shock. I think you will find in rural communities....probably thirty to fifty percent of hospitals will shut down, and what you get is a basic clinic, and a full-up hospital maybe an hour away by vehicle or 10 minutes by helicopter. If you live in a heavily urbanized area....you might get 100-percent of the features that you currently see. The rest of the nation? Not so much.
