This is one of tens of stories (not op-eds) from investigative reporters from the networks news like ABC, NBC, CNN all Obama supporters and now there are at least 10 democratic senators that have written letters to the president to delay and change the ACA.
There are thousands and thousands of reports that premiums for 60-80% of those having their own private coverage are many times more expensive under the ACA and Obama not only said you can keep your current insurance but that premiums will be cut in half.
Just saw a story of a single woman in Florida now pays $50/month but had that coverage cancelled and now has to pay $500/month. Most elderly people are seeing their insurance they have had for years cancelled and their new premiums are 5 to 6 times what they pay now.
But Obama says the new coverage will cover more things, like maturnity benefits. I imagine most couple between 45-90 really don't want to pay for that coverage and the other things they have to pay for under obamacare. The administration is MANDATING everyone that has private insurance and that's millions of people, will not have the same choices they have now and the cost is astronomical.I agree something needs to be done to help the uninsured, but at the expense of most americans? Why does hard working americans have to pay more and more to those on some sort of govt assistance. If he would have concentrated on creating jobs in the private sector (i.e. keystone pipeline and increased drilling would have created over a million jobs and added billions to the federal govt in taxes. People that don't work, don't pay taxes. We cannot continue as a society with over 1`/2 of americans receiving subsidies from the govt. And Eastcane, not all people on welfare are families with starving kids. MedIan income has dropped under obama, govt spending on welfare has increased rapidly under obama. He wants to have americans dependent on the federal govt so the dems can stay in office.
My God, can't we have a pres and admin that puts all americans first and not winning congressional seats as the most important thing.
The president knew for over 3 1/2 years premiums were going to go up and these people would not be able to keep their own coverage, but he has lied and lied and lied about this even up to the week before the rollout.
I just can't believe some of you smart obama supporter can't see all the lies he's told since becoming president. He's done nothing to help the economy, we are losing most of our good allies, he supports rogue nations such as Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood (of which his brother is a member) and does not represent ALL americans. He rushed thru a 2,200 page bill and made congress pass it within 24 hours, (another lie about giving congress time to debate laws and show them on C-SPAN and he bribed democratic senators from Nebraska and Louisiana, exempted many unions and himself, his staff, and congress. He and Harry Reid blamed repubs for "extorting" the american people. What did the pres and his democratic buddies due to "extort" votes to sign a law no one knew anything about. Even Nancy Pelosi said, "I guess we have to pass it to find out what's in it" If the pres were running a business he would have been fired years ago and if it were George Bush lieing and doing these things, dems and the media would be calling for impeachment.
Not exactly representing ALL americans, never has and never will. And after the IRS targeting conservative group and the IRS and administration said first it was rogue agents in Ohio, then they said some were from DC and now we know it was everyone in the IRS. And you feel comfortable in having the IRS administer our healhcare?
I just can't believe some of you are so naive that you have believed him every step of every scandal, from fast and furious, green companies (Solyndra) NSA spying on americans, foreign govts and their people (60 million in Spain alone, Chancellor Merkel's private cell phone, France, and stopping a soverign nations president (Brazil) private jet to searched for eric snowden.
The trust we had around the world is now gone, China and Europe says they don't think they can trust american and cannot consider us allies. We have over 1 trillion dollars of debt to China and pay 40% of our govt spending just to pay the interest on loans to China. The fed can't continue to keep interest rates low forever and our credit rating has already been downgraded, another downgrade could cause that 40% to go to over 50%. And this administration wants more tax increases so they can spend more money. Many countires have tried to increase the federal government's spending and as most of you know, the govt is the most inefficient entity to manage anything. And we will have the crooked IRS administer our health care? That's insane and I can't believe the obama supporters can not read this guy to know that he's made lies after lies after lies. He blames everyone but himself. But what do you suspect from a community organizer that voted present over 90% of the time as a US senator and criticize George Bush for increasing the national debt. He said it was treasoness. Is he commiting treason now, or as in everything he does, he's exempt from our laws, our constitution.
He can't manage anything and has hired suspect members to his staff, and his czars, even Timothy Geitner had to pay thousands of dollars in back taxes so he could be confirmed. Many other had to do likewise, others, especially the czars have known ties to anti-american organizations. Look this stuff up and don't just repeat the admins talking point.
Jay Carney has lied over and over about all of thse so-called by the pres as "phony scandals" and professed that he knew nothing about most of them.t.
He not followed the constitution in so many instances with his liar Eric Holder. Suing Arizona for enforcing Federal law, allowing sanctuary cities to protect illegals (who many are drug dealers, killers, etc) and won't prosecute them to try to win there votes. Wants to give amnesty to illegals but not secure the boarder first. Not good common sense, but he will get a lot of democratic voters. He and all politians only care about themselves and not the people that elected them. Our federal govt is a disaster and americans and the whole world are laughing at us.
Why do you think the IRS targeted conservative groups? Most non-partisan organizations say it was to help him win reelection. Now delaying obamacare for employers one year is to help democrats win seats in the 2014 elections.
I really don't think some of you are stupid, but your inability or refusal to admit Obama has lied and lied and lied and stonewalled and covered up, is beyond me. I think most americans are now seeing the real obama, the one who went to college in the US on a "foreign scholarship" Why would he do that if he's an american citizen and why does his Kenyan grandmother who has insisted over and over that she was present min Kenya when he was born, need bodyguards. To protect her from reporters and telling the truth about him.
Wow, I could go on and on. He's either the most stupid president in history, inept at running anything or he's doing this on purpose to "punish bad, bad americans. Which part of him is doing this, his 50% white side, or his 43% arab side or his 7% black side. Hard to figure out.
I would like to see now after two weeks since I posted how badly the law is and how terrible the rollout is. They had 3 1/2 years to get this straight. He can blame all sorts of people, but as Harry Truman said, "the buck stops here, meaning with the president.
Thoughts please and no white house talking points or pulling isolated cases to try to prove a point that everything is going smoothly and the president has and is telling all americans the truth.
Lies and more lies
