After reading a multitude of comments sections on various sites wrt O-care, one thing that REALLY sticks out to me. The lapdogs on the left who refuse to utter a critical word on the topic CONTINUE to promote this notion that the monthly premiums aren't cost prohibitive WHILE CONVENIENTLY IGNORING THE SKY HIGH DEDUCTIBLES. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised any longer that so few people understand how completely unaffordable most of these plans are...As if these families will have a spare $12,000 lying around to cover the out of pocket IN ADDITION to the huge monthly premiums. It's completely absurd.
One thing is for certain, this program will go down in history as not only the largest failure of a government program in US history, but probably largest failure worldwide. Obama will never live down this legacy.
Honestly, since odumbo lied about everything ACH would do, the 2014 election could be hammer time for the dem's. Guberment spent $634M on a POS website that won't work and is called an "identity thieves dream"! Average premiums are skyrocketing while deductibles are skyrocketing as well. You are starting to see backlash not only from the public, but liberals who basically sit around all day giving odumbo a BJ. Not to mention all the full-time workers being downgraded to part time due to odumbocare. Hell, the biggest union head wrote a letter a few months ago begging odumbo to stop the ACH because it is destroying his union members. All liberal policies FAIL and FAIL big!! And to my liberal friends (I say this all the time and get a uhhh,uhhh, what...it's Bush's fault, racist....etc. comments): Why are heavily controlled states and cities (Think Cali, Chicago, Detroit, Illinois, etc.) have the highest unemployment, highest taxes, highest crime rates, lower standard of living, highest debt, and either filed bankruptcy or are getting very close, etc.?? The left utopia policies have failed already right in our backyard!!

If not mistaken .. and I've seen it more thanonce ... I think those who get subsidies on their premiums will also get help on co-pays and deductibles. See below: http://medcitynews.com/2013/07/cons...nd-co-pays-not-just-premiums-with-health-law/ In 2014, the out-of-pocket limits for most plans will be $6,350 for an individual and $12,700 for a family. But people who qualify for cost-sharing subsidies will see their maximum out-of-pocket spending capped at $2,250 or $4,500 for single or family coverage, respectively, if their incomes are less than 200 percent of the poverty level So the $12,700 deductible can be as low as $4500. Who the fuck is paying for the difference? Those who work and make decent $$ get to shoulder all this crap.
"The good news is that, according to the Obama administration, the rich will pay for everything. The bad news is that, according to the Obama administration, you're rich." P. J. O'Rourke
The government had 3.5 years and completely botched the website charged with implementing Obamacare. And the leftists think the government can take charge of 1/6th of the economy and not F*CK things up, yet they can't even launch a simple website. That's rich. Going to the doctor will eventually = going to the DMV
The leftist actually want the guberment to be the whole fucking economy. But that was a good write up, and yes doctor visit = DMV nightmare. Unbelievable I am actually witnessing the destruction of this Country in such little time (even though the lefty-socialist have been planning this for decades).
Most people in america are poor due to the financial crisis. Ergo, Obamacare is a positive for most of America. And the repubs know it. We can wait a few years, but Obamacare will be a huge success. Democrats will get the full credits. i wouldn't be surprised if after Obama we get another Democrat, just based on the success of Obamacare.
