DC Tom Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 He can talk all he wants. The media isn't going to report on it. Not even the local news. He needs to run ads. Over and over. With real people who have real struggles because of Obamacare. He would never do that, because then it wouldn't be about him.
IDBillzFan Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 He would never do that, because then it wouldn't be about him. And again I say, if only the GOP candidate could capitalize on all this bad Obamacare news.
B-Man Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 We know that President Obama and the Democrats have already blasted Republicans for not helping “fix” the unfolding disaster that is Obamacare, and the White House has set its sights on somebody else to blame: Washington Examiner ✔ @dcexaminer Obama blames the press for #Obamacare trouble http://washex.am/2e1RC1l WOW, he’s really running out of fingers to point. Washington Examiner:

It's Obama and the Congressional Democrats that refused to let the Republican majority touch it because "It's the law of the land" and they were terrified Republicans would try to make changes they wouldn't like. How do people buy into this revisionist nonsense? The same people that push the "Bush lied" crap for 15 years can't even remember what their own Dear Leader said not two years ago?
B-Man Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 Its not really that funny anymore....................... Number of doctors participating in Obamacare plummets nearly 20%.
Azalin Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 And unless I'm mistaken, people going without any kind of health coverage for the 2nd year will pay a fine of $1,200.00 come tax reckoning in 2017. That's a lot of flat screen TVs and game consoles that won't be bought come refund season.

O. leading from behind or rather with his head firmly up his azz. It was intended to have all the worst consequences hit AFTER he leaves office. "If you like your Dr. you can keep your Dr." Mother !@#$er.

Washington Examiner: Wow I know he doesn't understand economics, but just because you give a subsidy to some doesn't mean their premium didn't GO UP!!!
Azalin Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 Better than paying $20,000 in premiums no? There's a hell of a choice for you - paying through the teeth for something you need, or paying a twelve-hundred dollar penalty because you can't afford it. That doesn't seem particularly helpful, Mr President.
B-Man Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 OBAMACARE: THE LAST STRAW? The Affordable Care Act’s open enrollment period for 2017 began yesterday. The timing couldn’t have been worse for Hillary Clinton. Across the country, exchanges opened with higher premiums, fewer carriers, less choice and smaller networks. Did I mention higher premiums? Forbes reports: What they’ll discover is a witch’s brew of double-digit premium hikes, restrictive provider networks, and fewer coverage choices. Many exchange customers will have only a single insurance provider to pick from. And more than a million enrollees will find that their current plans have vanished from the exchanges. *** For starters, rate hikes have reached levels unimaginable before Obamacare. Nationwide, the lowest-cost bronze exchange plan will cost over 28 percent more, on average, in 2017. And according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), premium hikes in the 38 states covered under HealthCare.gov will rise by 25 percent. Many areas will have it a lot worse. In Phoenix, for instance, premiums for the cheapest bronze plan will surge more than 176 percent. In Oklahoma City, prices are up nearly 80 percent; in Chicago, almost 65 percent. And that is when the exchanges work at all. Here in Minnesota, the MNSure web site–our local version of Obamacare–crashed yesterday. Insurance applicants wasted hours trying to get through, encountering nothing but frustration. To the extent they were able to get information, they found big premium increases, declining coverage, smaller networks and fewer choices. In some areas of Minnesota, there may not be a single insurer offering MNSure coverage by the time the enrollment period is over. The situation was so bad that Minnesota’s left-wing governor, Mark Dayton, blamed “robocalls” for bringing down the MNSure site, darkly hinting that Republicans might be behind his program’s failure. Dayton’s claim was absurd, but he needed to do something to fend off scandal: after spending $400 million, the state still doesn’t have an insurance exchange that works. In fact, property taxes are going up all across Minnesota as counties struggle to hire enough employees to accomplish manually what was supposed to happen electronically. Obamacare has always been unpopular, and it will become more unpopular every day as the enrollment period proceeds. In Minnesota, private polling shows that MNSure is the number one issue with voters, and Republican candidates are pounding on it, relentlessly. I assume something similar is going on in other states. At the presidential level, I can’t remember a campaign as issue-free as the one we have had this year. The personalities of the candidates have been almost the only issues the press has wanted to talk about. But across America, where families are struggling to pay their bills, Obamacare is a deal-breaker for the Democratic Party. I don’t know a lot of undecided voters, but polls tell us there are quite a few. The disaster of Obamacare could well be the issue that swings a critical mass of voters to say “no way” to a third Obama term. It would be ironic if, after all of the bizarre nonsense we have lived through, an actual bread and butter issue eventually decides the race.
Nanker Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 The "Individual Shared Responsibility Payment" (which these cretins have labeled the tax penalty) is finally being fully implemented. In 2014 it was the higher of: $95 per adult and $47.50 per child under 18 with a maximum charge of $285 OR 1% of household income (over $10,150 for a single/$20,300 married filing jointly), with a maximum charge of the "Total yearly premium for the national average of a Bronze plan sold through the marketplace ($2,448 based on 2014 figures). The annual national average premium for a Bronze plan that covers the family is $9,792 (also based on 2014 figures)." In 2015 that escalated to the higher of: $350 per adult and $162.50 per child under 18 with a maximum charge of $975 OR 2% of household income (over $10,150 for a single/$20,300 married filing jointly), with a maximum charge of the "Total yearly premium for the national average of a Bronze plan sold through the marketplace ($2,448 based on 2014 figures). The annual national average premium for a Bronze plan that covers the family is $9,792 (also based on 2014 figures)." For 2016 it's now the higher of: $695 per adult and $347.50 per child under 18 with a maximum charge of $2,085 OR 2.5% of household income (over $10,150 for a single/$20,300 married filing jointly), with a maximum charge of the "Total yearly premium for the national average of a Bronze plan sold through the marketplace ($2,448 based on 2014 figures). The annual national average premium for a Bronze plan that covers the family is $9,792 (also based on 2014 figures)." So people will be paying "their fair share" to the tune of up to $9,792 and they STILL WON"T HAVE HEALTHCARE COVERAGE. Hey B. O. YOU SUCK!

Gatorman said so.
IDBillzFan Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Meanwhile, today on the campaign trail for Hillary, regarding all the warning the Republicans have given about ACA, Obama literally told the crowd that "None of what they said has happened." In spite of a Republican plan in place that is poised to replace ACA, Obama told the crowd the GOP "don't even have a pretense of a plan. Nothing, zero, nada." Townhall story here.

GG Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 "You're doing a heckuva job, Barry!" Does that mean I can still keep my doctor?
IDBillzFan Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Does that mean I can still keep my doctor? AND your plan. And they'll both be cheaper!!!
