    I'm happy for your good fortune and repeat the comment from healthcare.gov...

    "ObamaCare helping thousands by hurting millions."

    No, Obamas big business buddies are doing just fine. And if they don't, he's fully prepared to bail 'em out.

    Only the working middle class is suffering. Fun, huh?

    Still, government wastes way more than private industry because it is not their money.

    Do a little research. You will be amazed at how many tax payer dollars were spent just trying to get the website up.

    "We the people . . . " need to keep in mind that those individuals who will pay more should take comfort in knowing that if they should lose their jobs or face financial hardships or a medical crisis --- that their previous health care policies would not have adequately covered, they would "benefit" from a ACA "safety net" that offers federal subsidies and comprehensive coverage.

    Furthermore, up to seven million people may be able to get health care policies without paying any premium at all. Yes! Some four million people may have to pay more for new and "better" policies, not all of whom will necessarily be upset at getting "better" coverage at a competitive rate.

    Obamaphobic critics would have us "believe" that the ACA fails to bring down health care costs. However, a review of the facts is in order on this issue. If you get insurance at work, the ACA will not disrupt your coverage or make it more expensive. And premiums will fall for the overwhelming majority of consumers in the marketplaces as coverage expands, administrative costs are reduced and discrimination based on gender and age is curbed. If I'm not mistaken --- this year alone, will see more than six million Americans get tax credits, making our health care insurance more affordable.

    The Obamaphobes conveniently forget that the ACA promotes efficiency --- such as rewarding doctors and hospitals for their quality --- not quantity of care. Over the past three years, health care costs have grown at their lowest level in over 50 years. Reforms such as the penalties to hospitals with too many preventable readmissions are reducing spending.

    And let's not forget that for almost five years the Obamaphobic skeptics have engaged in a spin campaign that relied on an arsenal of misrepresentations, misinformation, distortions, fabrications and lies to confuse the American public about the ACA. This campaign has impacted the enrollment process. John Boehner, Mitch McConnell along with the RINO party have denied the Department of Health and Human Services to resources it needs to inform the American public about the ACA.

    Let me leave you with the following thought --- Despite what the Obamaphobic obstructionists would have you "believe," the ACA is working.

    Another ACA customer checks in on healthcare.gov.

    "Just awful. My family had insurance with no issues for many many years. The promise was our insurance would not be canceled if we were happy with it. Big lie. We were canceled and given no direction to a new program. Our insurance agency had no clue. Calling customer relations number on back of my blue cross card, they had no idea. After approximately 10 hours of calls we were so excited finally being told we were finally insured. This was yesterday. I tried to fill a prescription for my daughter today and was told my wife and I are insured but not our children. What an amazing plan President Obama. My children are uninsured, thank you for your hard work. I took so much abuse from friends for voting for you, twice. They were right. Like(*)·(*)13(*)·(*)Jan 13 at 9:12pm"

    Amazing how some folks are so gullible. You do know we're being lied to, right?

    More from healthcare.gov.

    "Surely, the gov didn't tell another lie & this is from CNN...The Obama administration is trumpeting that 6 million people have health coverage thanks to Obamacare.Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a blog post Monday that "More than 6 million Americans have now either signed up for a private health insurance plan through the Marketplace or for Medicaid coverage."But the numbers are somewhat misleading. Here are the figures:-- 2.1 million Americans signed up for private health insurance through the federal and state exchanges through the end of December.-- 3.9 million people learned they're eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in October and November.The squishiness lies in the Medicaid number. The 3.9 million figure includes people who were already on Medicaid and are just renewing, as Marilyn Tavenner, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services noted in a blog post late last month. So not all of these folks have coverage.

    One more from the govt's own website. Who needs death panels when you've got Obamacare.

    "My friend Brick Williams has a genetic immune deficiency disorder that requires a weekly blood transfusion so he has the antibodies that keep him healthy. Without the weekly transfusions he quickly gets sick to life-threatening degrees.His private insurance was very expensive but was keeping him alive. In September his private insurance carrier notified him that his policy would be cancelled due to Obamacare. He struggled for weeks and weeks to get a policy through the exchange and finally was able to get one after countless hours of effort, much to his relief.When he went to get his first treatment his pharmacy contacted his new insurance company and was notified that the government had sent the insurance company a letter instructing them to cancel his obamacare policy.Brick has missed two infusions since December 31 when his old policy ended. His life is further at risk each day and he cannot afford the treatments without insurance. Brick is an Obamacare victim.Please don’t let Brick die.

    Clearly the addition of the word "Obamaphobe" to the English language is an improvement that accurately describes a significant portion of current Americana.

    More accurately, Obamaphobes are a product of Republican political propaganda through their media sources and funded by those in the business of harvesting our middle class.

    I believe that it's a term more accurate than "white supremacists" in describing this group.

    I don't know who was the first to coin the term but I thank him or her.

    Actually, the subject is OBAMACARE, not your hero personally.

    Therefore the correct term should be OBAMACAREPHOBIA and its running rampant thru the ranks of America's working class.

    You must be so proud to witness so much suffering at the hands of your precious prrsident.

    OBAMACAREPHOBIA is an effect caused by Obamaphobia. In fact there is a 5 year long list of identical behaviors invented for political propaganda purposes in order to portray democrats as no better than the worst President in American history, the Bushwacker.
