On Thursday, CNN senior reporter John King said that the Obama Administration’s most recent delay of a key Obamacare provision that was supposed to limit consumers’ out-of-pocket expenses on deductibles and co-pays could prove seismic come the 2014 midterm elections.
“This one particularly though could have a huge political impact,” said CNN reporter John King. “Because as you mention, hidden in bureaucratic language, the end result is that when these changes kick in, the Administration promised for most Americans your costs would go down. Now it is saying, at least in the short term, your costs could be higher than you anticipated.”
In 2009, President Barack Obama promised voters that his Obamacare healthcare scheme would lower costs to consumers.
“We will place a limit on how much you can be charged for out-of-pocket expenses, because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they get sick,” said Obama.
But a little-noticed ruling slipped into the Labor Department’s website said the cost caps would be delayed until 2015--a date that critics say is designed to protect vulnerable Democrats from angry voters in the 2014 midterm elections.
Analysts say the consumer cost caps on out-of-pocket expenses will necessarily mean skyrocketing healthcare costs for Americans, as high costs for sicker citizens are shifted to healthier Americans who pay less for health insurance.

If anyone believes Obama is going to be hurt by Obamacare they need to take some history lessons.
Noting good can possibly come from ANY bill that was passed by a process that corrupt.
What should cause a firestorm is the exemption from Obamacare for members of Congress, the President and his family and Obama cronies so they can keep their gold plated insurance while the rest of us stand in line at a government clinic. This hypocrisy should infuriate the public.
Obama is running out of fingers to put in the Dyke
That is Obamacare in a nutshell.
OK, wait a minute. What normal human being signs their name like that? The “O” encapsulates the “b”.

Obamacare is designed to shift resources from elder white americans to younger non white illegal aliens in the USA while amnesty is designed to make them legal so they can get obamacare and be sealed into the democrat voting bloc.

The point in putting off the caps is that that way the Insurance companies won’t have to raise premiums as much in 2014. People will notice premium hikes more than the small print.
Another tactic to illegally shield the democrats until after the mid term election.
Apparently we are all suckers...!! To let our “rep’s” go along with this.............
