Excuses and "explanations" abound.

Colorado Woman Who Championed Obamacare Loses Insurance Plan <---had a low poster done this, s/h/it, would have been banned
  
DENVER (CBS4) - President Barack Obama is apologizing to Americans who are losing their current health insurance plans. Millions of people are getting cancellation notices, including about 250,000 Coloradans.
...
Wagner and her husband retired early. She was a nurse for 35 years and championed Obamacare, until she received a letter from her insurance company saying it was canceling her policy.

“I was really shocked … all of my hopes were sort of dashed,” Wagner said. “’Oh my gosh President Obama, this is not what we hoped for, it’s not what we were told.’ “

She was shocked further to learn that for the same coverage she would pay 35 percent more and have a higher deductible.

“Our premium for next year is going up to over $1,000 a month for two of us and we’re two fairly healthy individuals,” Wagner said. ...

“The whole plan was to get everyone enrolled so there’s a larger risk pool and our costs go down,” she said. “Wow, not at all what we’re seeing.”

Hmmm, not a good thing.

1. Congress really should have considered the insurance companies would continue to be snakes
 
and put something in the health care bill to address this situation.

Congress was so concerned about the insurance companies surviving and making a profit, they conveniently forgot or overlooked that they've spent decades screwing over people. And so it continues...
Should have been single payer.
The companies followed the law as written.
Naturally, the single payer mantra gets going.
Then...

3. Another CBS news hit piece.
For reporting facts?  Oh, heaven forbid.  :panic:
On and on they went, trying to justify the mess.
Then, one not long for the DUmp, pops up.

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

This is just a small percentage of the country's population. About 1/3 of the total people that voted for King Barky the Taker.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I don't know why they just don't come out and say "I want completely free medical care and I don't give a damn who has to pay for it as long as it isn't me."

They are working on it. They just need enough people to suffer at the hand of the Democrats first.

The other thing the simpletons keep yapping about is getting their income below the magic number to get !!!subsidies!!!.  I read somewhere that an individual that was $5000 below the limit was going to get $18.00 per Year subsidy.  They also conveniently forget co-pays and deductables.

Yo dummies... let's put it in perspective:

Quote
An email to Fox News’ Bret Baier, read aloud on “Special Report,”

This message came to us from Bill in Kentucky.

“Putting things in perspective: March 21st 2010 to October 1 2013 is 3 years, 6 months, 10 days.

December 7, 1941 to May 8, 1945 is 3 years, 5 months, 1 day.

What this means is that in the time we were attacked at Pearl Harbor to the day Germany surrendered is not enough time for this progressive federal government to build a working webpage.

Mobilization of millions, building tens of thousands of tanks, planes, jeeps, subs, cruisers, destroyers, torpedoes, millions upon millions of guns, bombs, ammo, etc. Turning the tide in North Africa, Invading Italy, D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Race to Berlin – all while we were also fighting the Japanese in the Pacific!!

And in that amount of time – this administration can’t build a working webpage.”


And you trust these fools to take care of your health insurance?   :mental: :mental:

Ouch. But I was informed today that it's running wonderfully and they have tons of plans much better than the junk plans we have now.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Most of them already have it.
