    I'm not gong to start praising Obamacare just because it is 'at least not what we had before'. It's still BAD, the tradeoffs between now and what was there before basically make it moot. It doesn't provide enough of a benefit to be worth existing, it expands bureaucracy and red tape and lots and lots of money for very little gain. I say reboot and try something else.

    LOL, since when do the right give two hoots about fiscal responsibility? You guys just want your own taxes down and not to have to pay for moochers. You dont give a toss about the other aspects of fiscal policy.

    I suspect there were fewer people paying for Health Insurance on 1/1/2014 than there was on 12/31/2013. With the higher premiums, you are probably right on a dollar basis

    It may have been free to them, but you helped to pay their bill.

    ACA disapproval ratings.

    12/14/2009 53.3

    10/03/2010 51.6

    08/06/2011 50.6

    08/13/2012 47.0 but approval only 41.6 the ACA's best showing in HISTORY.

    06/21/2013 52.8 DISAPPROVE 39.6 APPROVE.


    12.15/2013 56.8 DISAPPROVE, 40.3 APPROVE.

    01/20/2014 55.3 DISAPPROVE, 40% APPROVE.

    LIBERALS LOVE TO CLAIM OBAMA HAS A MANDATE FROM THE 2012 ELECTION.

    He got 51.1% of the vote. 20.8% of the US population voted for him.

    Today, obobo's approval rating is BELOW that of the crack smoking, drunken Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.


    Romney got 47.2% of the vote in an actual election. A far better approval rating than the unACA has EVER received.

    Recipients will always like a program. Only the ones who must pay the bills object.

    You are confusing your ability to help others (and your apparent unwillingness to do so), with compelling the government to steal my wealth on your behalf.

    Help all you want. No one will stop you.

    And conservatives like to pretend that the total disapproval rating is for reasons they agree with. A lot of those that disapprove of the ACA are liberals who wanted single payor.

    Long waiting lines for many expensive procedures. Denying care to many. Very high average tax rates. Why do you ask?

    Let's see. The government has taken a large amount of money from me every month to fuel this Ponzi scheme for about 40 years. They will pay me a fraction of what I could have earned in the stock market. It is an unconstitutional program and should be eliminated. But getting back what I paid in is hardly freeloading. Nice try. You really are a fraud. Just not right wing as you improperly advertise.

    Yeah, no work, no living wage, no pay for health care. I am sorry republicans oppose the American worker, but that is just the way it goes I guess.

    True. As a retired military officer I have been lied to. In a few years I will leave Tricare and move to Medicare. I despise my government because it has broken every promise it has ever made to me.
    I have paid for Medicare for about 40 years. But I have never wanted it. And now I will be forced into it along with the drones who did nothing for their country.

    And of course I will continue to pay and pay and pay.

    It might just be me, but very few of your posts make any sense. But that's just the way it goes, I guess.

    Because those covered under such plans find them and their comparatively far lower cost highly satisfactory despite the aspersions of ideologues who have nothing to offer.

    well no, you would have lost your butt in stock market, and you would be stealing from the worker & his family for your stolen gains. It is constitutional and should be properly funded.

    Yes, lets talk about free loaders, like you suggest yourself to want to be in the stock market? Do you feel you are entitled to free ride for profits you never earned, stolen from those who work hard for a living? You really show your self to be what you accuse others of being.

    Yeah, dense people have a problem understanding an unemployed person doesn't make money, so he is a recipient. Darn if I don't find a lot of cons befundled by that.

    I'm sure if you called them up and told them you didn't want it, they might tell you we didn't want to give it to you anyway, and they may let you cancel it.

    :woot: yay for over-inflated numbers!

    First, those on their parents plans are not Obamacare enrolled, but then you're giving Obamacare credit for what it didn't do. Even before Obamacare, kids could stay on their parents' plans until 22 , so those numbers you give are seriously inflated. I'm not really going to go down line by line to show how those numbers are inflated or bs. Your opening statement, about the, "Total number of people who have coverage as a direct result of the ACA is 10,000,263" is just bs.

    They never seem to grasp that truth. That when you go to the doctor or hospital before Obamacare, we were always mandated to pay extra for those who didn't or couldn't pay. The right has never understood that. Its like the brain never makes the connection with that reality.
