Big government is never the answer to big questions. Obamacare was rammed down the throats of the American people by Senate Democrats, who voted 100% approval against 0% Republican Senate votes, in spite of the fact that polls of the American people showed a decisive rejection of the plan. Democrats themselves admitted they did not know what was in the plan, how it would work, and what it would cost. Subsequent disclosures show that Obama and his administration lied about what it would cost, and that the only way they could get buy-in was to lie. The blatant misrepresentation by Obama stating that American families would save $2,500 per year in medical premiums and that families would be able to keep their doctors and their medical plans if they preferred was also recognized from the very beginning to be false, and should be a prosecutable offense, given the pain, suffering and cost it has caused the American people.
The problem is that once a government program is launched, no matter how ineffective or how big a failure, it only grows. Obamacare is even worse in that the cost my be so high and the failure so deep that it will collapse under its own weight. Of course rather than letting the free market repair the damage, you can be sure that Democrats will double down and insist that what is really needed is a single payer system where the people have no choice and government will control all health care in this country. We already see with the scandal plagued Veterans Hospital disaster that government is definitely not the answer if we want affordable and effective medical care, but that will not change Democrats pushing for a state run solution.

I’m shocked that the people wont stand up and demand that gang of political mobsters in our so called house of reps. to get out!!!! I’m really short on expectations also that the people will do a damned thing about it even on election day!!! Gotta play that stinking party affiliation thing even if it kills America and our way of life!!!! GO FOR IT VOTERS!!!!!
F**k blue cross and niggercare!
I have an independent health insurance policy through them and was just notified of my 2017 14% rate hike . That brings the premium up to just shy of $700 a month @ $5700 deductible, no prescription drug plan ,and no frills. I’m healthy and can never meet their threshold. BUT…I’m turning 65 in January of 2017, so Medicare will be ‘somewhat’ cheaper.. A pox upon you, Blue Cross.
Probably more jobs will be lost!
I would laugh my$#%&!@*off,,, but it hurts too much 🙁
No, let bcbs get together & help stop Obama care.
As if we could not afford it before!!!
No way we are just barely paying for it now!!
Our deductible just went from $200 to $8000 with BC/BS.
