If he were intentionally trying to destroy the nation, what would he do differently?

Nothing...because he is trying to destroy the nation. None in the lamestream media dare speak the truth, though.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

What a great marxist Ponzi scheme!
Those who never wanted it to get to pay a penalty to not have health insurance, and those who have no income are covered but pay nothing!
But wait, there’s more: The government has even more imaginary money to spend on the massive bureaucratic infrastructure necessary to run the `Affordable Care’ Frankenstein monster, and the working class get to take even more swift kicks to the `nads.
It’s like April 15, but all year `round!

The Democrats have convinced themselves that Obamacare is going to be OK after the bugs are shaken out.

Social Security is OK now, right?
Medicare is OK now, right?
Medicaid is OK now, right?

The Democrats are invoking the ghost of F. D. R. but they are just whistling past the graveyard.

Socialists, Communists, and their Fascist friends understand the barrel of a gun and the jail cell, but they do not understand human nature.

Yep, the shift to part time is rotten. But boehnercare is still coming, and it’ll be right on schedule. Both the gop and ‘rat wings of the uniparty are positively salivating over it.

Medicare is really not OK

I was stunned when I read this because I am on Medicare.

if you ever have to into the hospital overnight for observation, make sure to tell them if they don't do a full admit, they will never get paid...

I was a member of a UFCW local when Obamacare was being debated. The went whole hog saying how it would save us money, we would keep our current insurance, etc. Guess what, they are dropping all their “bothers and sisters” onto the Exchanges. Hahahahahah.

I am happily self employed and paying about $800 per month for my families major medical health insurance. Just found an Obamacare calculator online and if its right I will have to buy a $1500 per month policy but I would get a $700 per month subsidy so I will end up paying about what I pay now if I buy thru the exchange. The $700 subsidy far exceeds what I pay in federal taxes. So in summary, I was happy and self sufficient and a net contributer to federal revenues. After the government fixed health care over my objection, I now will be a moocher, a net drainer from from the federal teat - unless I choose to pay the additional $700 per month out of pocket. Quite a choice.

My health insurance just went up. Thank you Zero.

They were supposed to go down. Not up.

Obama probably meant that only his health insurance will be lower when Obamacare is the law instead of everyone else’s rates.

It’ll be interesting to hear the useful idiots next year once they get what they think they want.

And sorry to say that pointing out how this is taking money that could be used for hiring isn’t going to click with many people. Most of the supporters I’ve talked to about this bill seem to think that businesses have some kind of voodoo power to just make money out of thin air.

I think the accurate way to see this....is that most Americans are fairly naive and have no grasp of the business community around them. If they drove down to the local fast-food district and suddenly noticed half of the operations shut-down, they’d ask questions. But I seriously doubt that they’d understand the answers over how a business fails.

It’s also the same with the banking industry, the credit card industry, and even the electrical company industry. If you ask folks how the majority of their power is created....the vast majority would just give you a funny look.

“that was the plan. our standard of living being brought down, to match more of lower middle class europe and lower.”

Even lower middle class Europe gets a month vacation; our standard of living is falling to meet that of Red Chinese serfs.
