A watershed moment in the ongoing disaster of ObamaCare, as Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius finally admits that health insurance premiums are rising because of the President’s health insurance takeover, per the Wall Street Journal:
Ms. Sebelius’s remarks come weeks before insurers are expected to begin releasing rates for plans that start on Jan. 1, 2014, when key provisions of the health law kick in. Premiums have been a sensitive subject for the Obama administration, which is counting on elements in the health law designed to increase competition among insurers to keep rates in check. The administration has pointed to subsidies that will be available for many lower-income Americans to help them with the cost of coverage.
The secretary’s remarks are among the first direct statements from federal officials that people who have skimpy health plans right now could face higher premiums for plans that are more generous. She noted that the law requires plans to provide better benefits and treat all customers equally regardless of their medical claims.
ROFL! Ewwww!
You also have to blame the idiots for giving the house majority to the dems too, because it only passed because they had a majority in both houses along with Penn Ave.
Don’t worry, most of the Obama voters will receive “subsidies” for their premiums, paid for by “the rich”. It will only affect people who work and pay taxes.
Screw every lousy obama voters and congre$$critter that lied and voted for them and for this monstrosity.
Low info? hell,
No.. they just be iggniant.. and lovin’ it.
paraphrasing pelosi, “four years ago, we (the tea party) actually read the stinking bill to find out what was in it.”
of course the version back then was only 2200 pages. leftists will now enjoy the sweet messages coming from your IRS, and its 14000 new jackbooted agents.
There is NO SUCH THING as ‘INSURANCE COSTS’ anymore!!!! It should be ‘SERVICE COST’. 0bamacare did away with the concept of health ‘INSURANCE’!!
They also said it would be ‘paid for’ by eliminating $500 billion of waste and fraud in Medicare.
If they knew there was that much fraud why weren’t they taking care of that FIRST
That’s a ‘PS’ (Poop Shot).. What kind of bird is that?
A Republican Congressman should call for the CBO to re-score 0bamacare. STAT!!
We don’t want that hag back in Kansas.
...just as conservative said would happen. You know the name of the piece of legislation was called the “Affordable” Care Act. 100% failure in that regard, I would say.
turd bird.
he had to pass it to find out what was in it.
Nah, there will probably be at least 3 governmnet bureaucratic positions within Obamacare for every 1 private sector health insurance job.
It’s a jobs program!
"Don’t worry, folks, ObamaCare is blowing premiums through the roof, but there will be subsidies available for lower-income Americans! That means the rest of us will get screwed twice - once when we pay our higher insurance premiums, then again when we pay for all those lovely subsidies."
That’s a ‘PS’ (Poop Shot).. What kind of bird is that?
..A relieved bird.

Post of the day!...We all knew chit was in it. The media was trying to giftwrap it!
Exactly...A jobs program for Obama contributors.
I said on this very site back in 2008 that Obama’s mission was to destroy the USA and that anyone that voted for him would rue the day they did. My predictation is coming true with each passing day!!! everything he touches or does is calculated to weaken and destroy our great country!!!
The good news is that more and more of the American people are getting his number. Time to give Obama the heave ho!!! Impeach him Democrats ....or you are the ones, along with him that will destroy your political party.
