Rand Paul Republican From Alabama Learns To Love Obamacare
- Thread starter exGOPer
- Start date
Of course a guy with pre-existing conditions is going to love obamacare, as are the worthless pieces of garbage who wont work to pay for their own.
The question is whether it was worth destroying everyone elses healthcare, and killing hundreds of thousands of jobs in order to give an entitlement to people who contribute nothing to society, like exGOPer.

300,000 Floridians just had their health insurance plans cancelled because of Obamacare
Itâs happening to millions of people all over the United States. Health insurance companies, no longer allowed to offer certain kinds of plans due to new regulations in Obamacare, are sending out cancelation notices.
from NBC:
But the cancellation notices, which began arriving in August, have shocked many consumers in light of President Barack Obamaâs promise that people could keep their plans if they liked them.
âI donât feel like I need to change, but I have to,â said Jeff Learned, a television editor in Los Angeles, who must find a new plan for his teenage daughter, who has a health condition that has required multiple surgeries.
An estimated 14 million people purchase their own coverage because they donât get it through their jobs. Calls to insurers in several states showed that many have sent notices.
Florida Blue, for example, is terminating about 300,000 policies, about 80 percent of its individual policies in the state. Kaiser Permanente in California has sent notices to 160,000 people â about half of its individual business in the state. Insurer Highmark in Pittsburgh is dropping about 20 percent of its individual market customers, while Independence Blue Cross, the major insurer in Philadelphia, is dropping about 45 percent.
When all is said and done, the bulk of that 14 million people who purchased their own health insurance may end up losing their plans that President Obama promised them repeatedly that they could keep.
"good job mr president"

Is Obamacare Actually Good For Small Businesses?
Sure it is. No it's not. Actually, it's complicated.
BY Adam Bluestein
"In this week's issue of The New Yorker, columnist James Surowiecki weighs in on the Obamacare debate, with a column called âThe Business End of Obamacare," which makes the case that âthe likely benefits of Obamacare for small businesses are enormous.â Is Surowiecki's assessment correct? Yes and no.
"Rightly, he dismisses complaints about the employer mandate, pointing out that 96 percent of U.S businesses have fewer than 50 employees and therefore donât have to worry about it, and that more than 90 percent of companies with 50 or more employees already offer health coverage. Surowiecki also notes the liberating effect of guaranteed health coverage, which will spur people to leave jobs and pursue entrepreneurial ventures.
"The small-business exchanges should also help level the playing field for small companies, which have historically had to pay higher premiums than large firms. As a result, in 2009, only 33.6 percent of firms with fewer than 10 employees offered health insurance. "
