26. You got that right flamingdem!

It has been a great week! Excellent news coming from the White House. Some may not like it yet it is a fact!

The Repubs are tearing their hair out. Hair on fire! Oh my gosh! Repeal! Repeal!

I think you are right. They are going to cave after they make their last stand. I truly hope their last stand will be the 2014 elections...when they lose everything and then we win big time.

27. That Is Perfect from Luckovich, she.. and all the added expressions from VP Biden and

President Obama are Priceless!

Thank you so much! No need to "Circle Wagons".. Obamacare is here to stay!

I want them to celebrate, and I want them to run on Obamacare.  These bogus numbers are the Dems last attempt to circle the wagons (despite what Dummy Cha said).  If you believe they came up with an additional 2 million in the last three weeks, then I have some oceanfront property in Arizona for you.

In related news, Big Brother is happy to announce that physician reimbursement under BigBrotherCare has been increased from $35 to $28 per office visit, and wait times for appointments have been reduced from 27 days to 45 days.

The 800 Lb gorilla they are all ignoring can be summed up in one sentence.

"If one assumes all 8 million enrollees are genuine, how many of them are happy to have Obamacare versus those who are on it because they have no choice ?"

Yep Miskie. Do the people with newly acquired free/semi free* health insurance, paid for by others, outnumber those who are paying for it? That is it in a nutshell. The dems are betting on the takers, the reps are betting on the payers.


*I refuse to call it subsidized. It isn't subsidized. It is money given to these people that was taken from other people. That is not subsidized, that is theft.

I've heard Dear Leader on at least a dozen occasions say that the debate is over, that obamacare is here to stay, and to move on. Doesn't sound like someone beaming with confidence to me. If it were really a winning position, you would want the debate to continue because it would be something you could continuously beat your opponent in the head with. The last thing you'd want to do is move on.

If the debate were over, they'd be nonexistent. But the debate is still happening. No, someone who says the debate is over is someone who wants it to be over because they're afraid of having to defend it and want it off the table.

So, you see, sometimes Dear Leader's administration is transparent; just not in the way he would like for it to be.

Has the oministration released the number of enrollees who are current on their premium payments?

No. And they won't talk about the age groups of the enrollees or if those signing up are mainly healthy or mainly sick. Chances are there's more sickly signing up than healthy, which means a disaster is on the way.

The libbies favorite tactic. The debate is over. Same deal with global warming climate change.

[JohnnyReb]

They started out saying 40 million people didn't have health insurance. A couple million lost their insurance because of Obamacare and had to sign up for Obamacare. So, subtract those from 8 million and then subtract the remaining 6 million from 40 million and we still have 36 million without health insurance. To quote what I heard some asshole say, "This is a big F*cking deal".

DUmmies are dancing on future Obamacare grave sites.

This isn't an administration.....this is governmental PMS.

[FlippyDoo]

Oh, I believe that number whole heartedly because I’ve been assigned to fictional spirit-guide 7.9 million of the signees in addition to my current assignment of the entire membership of the Tooth Fairy Association and all of the non-mole, genius level IQ members of DU.

[EagleKeeper]

I believe it because Prosense told me so.

Another debate that is over because our betters have ordained it.

Shut up, they explain, it's for your best interests.

Even with the new Medicaid people in CA can't find a doctor willing to treat them within the system because the paperwork involved just isn't worth it.

The biggest liar of them all says:

“We have eight million people signed up through the exchanges. That doesn’t include the three million young people who are able to stay on their parents’ plan. It doesn’t include the million people who benefited from expansions to Medicaid. So if my math is correct, that’s 14 million right there. You have another five million people who signed up outside of the marketplaces but are part of the same insurance pool. So, we’ve got a sizable part of the U.S. population now that are in the first — for the first time in many cases in a position to enjoy the financial security of health insurance.”


lies lies and lies that only Dummies believe

[DLR Pyro]

How can obama say the debate is over when it never started. The dems rushed the aca bill thru in the dead of the night before anyone had a chance to read it, comment on it,  understand it, or debate it.

[Carl]

They think that anyone outside the leftist lunatic base believes those numbers?

Using their numbers, that still leaves 21 million people without health insurance.

Hardly a success.

[RobJohnson]

Healthcare is now a ****ing nightmare. I would compare it to Canada but we still have to pay out the ass for premiums.

Doctors no longer have to compete for patients, patients have to compete with other patients for doctors.

I love hearing the libs tell me the horror stories about the medical plans they voted for. I like
 this video, it almost has me sold on the ACA.......

A guy from the SBA made it, he is a retired Naval Officer that is now drinking Obama's Kool Aid, he has been deleting my facebook and video comments, as well as comments from others......right in the heart of Obama!

Especially when you consider that:

"When we started this health care debate a year ago, 85 percent of the American people had health insurance, and 95 percent of the 85 percent were happy with it."

And what, of the remaining portion of Soviet numbers, are people seething at having their prior insurance, that they were happy with, cancelled?

[98ZJUSMC]

More.  At least 60 percent of their Soviet numbers had health insurance before.  So:  8 million is more accurately 6 million minus about a million unpaid so 5 million, minus 3 million previously insured.

2.5 million....tops.

Bravo, (D)Umper.  Bravo.

This whole exercise was passing a massive, unsustainable boondoggle over less than 15% of the population.  Of course, this from the people that insist that passing immigration amnesty will shave 1.1 trillion from the budget.

O.O

Yeah......

Yes (D)Ummies, that makes a difference.
