    Sorry, Doll, you don't get to play that way. If you Libocrats are making all the claims about all the astonishing successes of Obamacare then it is incumbent on YOU to come up with substantiated factual stats! Oh, and speaking of "proof", exactly where in the hell are the figures concerning how many people who have supposedly signed up for Obamacare have actually paid?! How much have they paid? How much of their premiums have been offset by government sugar-teat "subsidies"? Don't any of you guys feel like bragging about THAT, too...?! :roflol:

    Don't want to jerks running around deciding they can sign up for healthcare at 65 having not paid a dime into the system so that they can take advantage of it even though their remaining years from 65-95 are the most costliest for all of us.

    Don't want corporations deciding who can and can't get healthcare and dropping people who are covered at the most cost opportunistic time.

    Except many of those 350,000,000 are either minors who cannot buy health insurance and seniors who have medicare or those with medicade in addition to those who opt not to sign up.

    That's because we have Medicare a government system we all pay for. But the older you get the more you cost for all of us. But even people who wait until there 40s and 50s statistically cost more than younger people. Free Riders cost us 10s of billions. They crowd the ERs in hospitals. If people have health insurance they're more likely to see a doctor so that serious illnesses can be nipped in the bud with drug therapies. Having someone wind up in the ER is inhumane, costly and nasty.

    So you make that leap?

    No. I'm saying that from a financial standpoint, 5% of the country cannot pay health insurance for everybody. And it appears that about 5% of those in California (nearly half of all ACA signups) are actually paying, the rest are getting it for free.

    So if by success you mean that people are signing up, well, I guess yes they hit their goal. But who wouldnt sign up for mandated healthcare if you dont have to pay for it?

    37% of the country is below 18 (23%) or above 65 (14%).

    That only leaves 211,000,000 citizens. We're on our way!

    ObamaCare is a fricking disaster and you lefties are responsible for it...

    Only 355K ObamaCare enrollees, not 7.1 million. The Regime is lying to you!

    Covered CA: 60% qualified for Medi-Cal, Only 5% non-Subsidized

    Covered California: 1 million subsidized, 1.9 million Medi-Cal, 156K actually paying

    Census Bureau changes to conceal ObamaCare's disastrous effects

    Initial ObamaCare enrollees are the most expensive to care for

    The Coming Obamacare Shock for 170 Million Americans. Thanks Obama!

    'Single Payer'…

    Why not just call your pipe dream what it REALLY is?

    Single Payer, the 'single payer' being the hard working taxpayers,
    and
    the recipients of all this government-sponsored (and fiscally-unsustainable) nonsense
    being
    the non-working sponges who just so happen to be in the voting majority at this revolting moment in history.

    The problem with socialism is, sooner or later you run out of other people's money.

    No its not! It is a fricking disaster, and Odumber knows it. Why do you think he keeps illegally changing the dates for implementation? Because he knows it will bankrupt every one.

    How did Ted Kennedy put it...oh yeah... "he tells lie after lie after lie". That is Comrade President Obama in a nutshell.

    In 2 years you'll be voting RINO and taking credit for National Romney Care. Don't argue against the inevitable.

    Perhaps. But I will not be voting Hilldabeast, count on that. I think this HCA should be repealed and allow the free market to do its thing. You know, like Americans.
