It's probably not funny to the millions that have had their rates and deductibles soar or lost health insurance because of ACA.

Let's see the ACTUAL statistics on that statement

Seeing how even Sibilius can't come up with a number of how many are actually insured at all now

Unless your referring to the 4 Pinocchios Obozo got for lying about it, or the "pants on fire" award

I haven't heard of any getting quality healthcare Insurance since ACA Tax. How many? Millions? It's hard to believe an administration that would rather tell lies than truth. I guess that news hasn't made it to the comedians yet.

I'll bet that the politicians in Washington are laughing since they are exempt.

More cancellations and higher fees and taxes are the only assurances under Obozocare..... but Obozo put them off, bypassing law and congress...... until after the elections.....

Only the Demoncraps opted themselves and their staff out. The Repulsicons didn't

Something to do with "law" and "what's good for the American people...."

Personally, I think it had more to do with their support of Big Business, but what do I know?

gee sojourn

seems like neither side is offering any STATS on the details, cause they once again don't reinforce their agenda

cancellations happen,, with or without reform , the REASON behind them cant really be proven

people also get coverage, with or without reform, and those reasons cant be proven

but we can always claim that the millions who are cancelled are only because of reform, and the 'honest' insurance companies can also scapegoat reform instead of admitting they are too greedy to meet the new standards

and the public picks their poison

is it the blame of greedy insurance CORPORATIONS not wanting to cut into profits by meeting the honest attempt at higher standards?

or is it the blame of the communist government for putting those honest insurance companies under such an unfair strain as to 'force' them no option but to cancel policies,,

??? we might never know,,,

but time will work it out and long term progress or decline will make the answer much clearer,,,

so how did a bill that allegedly was only supported by democrats, have a section requiring senate participation that was somehow only supported by republicans? how does that work?

and yes,, many times things that aren't affordable individually, are offered at discount when bundled and purchased in large groups

so that's not really hard to understand


example, If I purchase , lets say, a personal pizza for one, its about 4 bucks

but I can purchase a LARGE pizza that feeds 6 for about 9 bucks,, or 1.50 for each of us,,,

That's ok, if every one likes just one topping on their pizza. But some, alas, would like to have apples and oranges on theirs. They won't get them. Have to eat what every one else is having. Isn't socialism great! We don't need no stinkin competative pricing.

So of the 30 million that didn't have healthcare before the ACA 5 million have signed up.
Of that 5 million around 20% have yet to pay for their plan.

Hmmmm
30 million ( uninsured pre ACA) minus 5 million (# who have "enrolled" in ACA) equals 25 million (still uninsured) plus 6 million (policies cancelled post ACA roll out) equals 31 million uninsured. Oh wait add the 1 million out of the five who still have yet to pay equals 32 million uninsured.
So as of the end of FEB there is a net gain of 2 million uninsured

Where are the 30 some odd million who the ACA is supposed to insure?

So it's ok to take from those that could to give to those that couldn't and to condemn those that could to the role of now can't.

Typical entitlement crowd response, screw them, they paid for mine don't care if that means they can't afford theirs now.

Only in the minds of idiots that refuse to see the truth. For others there are the facts, those little cancellation letters.
