ObamaCare's Troubles Are Only Beginning

 

 

[Tyler]

For someone who only lives in a baseball World, is Obama about to get impeached or something?

You live under the fake rocks in center field?

I'm just happy I have a roof over my head.

Say hi to Lackey and that Halo Girl for me.

Those rocks are fake?

As facelift Pelosi said "This is....Change."

[Angel Oracle]

Mr. President, consider what former President Nixon did in August 1974, and do America a favor.

This may be the WORST legislation enacted since who knows when. 

The Keystone Kops and Daniel Snyder are impressed.

No way Obama ever resigns. He's too prideful and there are too many sheep telling him he's taking this country in a positive direction.

 

Nixon only resigned because he got caught red-handed in something illegal.

"In the nearer term, a political iceberg looms next year. Insurance companies usually submit proposed pricing to regulators in the summer, and the open enrollment period begins in the fall for plans starting Jan. 1. Businesses of all sizes that currently provide health care will have to offer ObamaCare's expensive, mandated benefits, or drop their plans and—except the smallest firms—pay a fine. Tens of millions of Americans with employer-provided health plans risk paying more for less, and losing their policies and doctors to more restrictive networks. The administration is desperately trying to delay employer-plan problems beyond the 2014 election to avoid this shock."

This could be horrible:

 

"On the supply side, medicine will become a far less attractive career for talented young people. More doctors will restrict practice or retire early rather than accept lower incomes and work conditions they did not anticipate. Already, many practices are closed to Medicaid recipients, some also to Medicare. The pace of innovation in drugs, medical devices and delivery is expected to slow significantly, as higher taxes and even rationing set in."

This is already happening.  My family practice doctor hung it up at age 59 because he didn't want to deal with the Obamacare requirements.

Thank you Obama, for making even W look halfway decent as POTUS, no small feat

I have no idea where my insurance stands right now.  I was sent a letter from Anthem Blue Cross that my plan was to be eliminated Jan. 1, 2014.  Then the President said that was going to be delayed.  Or was it? 

 

I have not enrolled in ACA because it sounds like a total waste of time right now.  I'd rather sign up when it 'works' and not go through all the 'we don't have you enrolled' headaches.  Just too much to deal with. 

 

So, which is it?  I guess I'll know when/if I get another bill for insurance.  What a disaster!

LOL...I wouldn't go that far.  They both look like shit.

I would say it is the worst legislations since "No Child Left Behind" and "The Patriot Act".  Both huge failures in every way possible for the American people.

The Patriot Act and Obamacare are neck and neck for worst legislation after the year 2000 for me.

[Taylor]

At least the Patriot Act was blatantly terrible and almost everyone hated it. Obamacare is the Nickelback of legislation: it blows but still has its good share of fans for whatever reason.

[arch stanton]

Hard for me to get too worked up over a WSJ op-ed that doesn't like Obamacare or Obama. I'm sure I can find plenty of other things to foretell our doom with less bias to big business.

All 3 are pretty bad in each of their own ways.

What a crock of shit.  There is huge support for the Patriot Act by many morons both in politics and out.

Agreed.  It is like comparing different types of shit.  In the end, it is all shit.
