Woman Hailed by President as Obamacare Success Story Now Can't Afford Obamacare

  1. IOW, some must be sacrificed for the greater good. Frankly an argument in which I find myself in agreement so long as there is some greater good. In this case the only ones truly benefiting are the insurance companies. While the poor and disadvantaged will see reduced or near zero premiums, they'll never make the deductible, so they have what they've always had. Pay as you go ER care.
    The ACA does nothing, absolutely nothing to address the high cost of healthcare and one could easily argue that it will exacerbate the problem. Just another pie in the sky radical left solution, that in truth doesn't solve anything but we can all feel good that we tried.

    I was trying to figure out why it seems the press has turned on this one.

    I think you got it.

    In the end far too many vote their own self interest.

    That, or again it's simply what topics generate pageviews, ie. "trending".

    There were huge revelations about Obamacare’s enrollment process during today’s testimony by CMS tech director Henry Chao. Chao admitted that up to 70% of the exchange website infrastructure hasn’t even been built yet, including the payment system for purchasing new health insurance plans.

    The health care law looks most politically hazardous in the states that backed Mitt Romney in 2012; there Americans by 3-1, 46-15 percent, say they’re more inclined to oppose than to support a candidate who favors the law. But the ACA’s no help even in the blue states that backed Obama; while the division is far closer, 31 percent in those states are inclined to oppose an ACA-linked candidate, vs. 25 percent who’d be more apt to support one.
    For all the ACA’s troubles, Americans divide evenly, 49-49 percent, on whether the law simply is unworkable or the government can recover and implement it successfully. While its individual mandate is widely opposed, 58 percent support its requirement that companies with 50 or more employees provide coverage or pay a fine. And fewer than half – though a still-troubling 44 percent – think Obama “intentionally misled” the public when he said that people who liked their policies could keep them. (For comparison, there were four occasions in 2005-6 when majorities said George W. Bush had “intentionally misled” the American public on Iraq.)
    TURN – The results overall represent a sharp turnaround in fortune for Obama and his party, which just a month ago were ascendant over the Republicans in views of the budget dispute that led to a partial government shutdown. Today 45 percent of Americans call Obama “too liberal,” matching the high, and 46 percent say the same about the Democratic Party. And perhaps adding insult to injury, registered voters divide numerically in Mitt Romney’s favor, 49-45 percent, if they had a mulligan for the 2012 presidential election. While the difference between the two is within the poll’s error margin, Obama’s support is 6 points below his actual showing a year ago.

    and the sample ...

    Partisan divisions are 31-24-37 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.
