Study: If Supreme Court Guts Obamacare, 9.6 Million Will Lose Health Insurance
Posted: Jan 9, 2015
January 8, 2015: As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear a case that could prove to be a fatal blow against the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, a new study has concluded that the consequences of striking down the law's subsidies for low- and middle-income individuals will result in a sharp drop in the number of Americans with health insurance, as well as a steep rise in premiums.

January 14, 2014: Another 25 million ObamaCare victims.
It now looks like ObamaCare will hurt twice as many people as it helps — because the law isn’t nearly done with canceling people’s insurance.
The 5 million-plus Americans who’ve seen their health plans canceled thanks to ObamaCare will be joined by millions more this year — because the Affordable Care Act makes their employer-provided policies illegal, as well.
ObamaCare defenders are trying to minimize the coming pain. Jonathan Gruber, an architect of the law, told The Washington Post that the number of “losers” who will have to pay more for the same or inferior coverage will be “very, very small.” Nonsense. ObamaCare exchange plans — the only option for most people who lose on-the-job coverage — are a raw deal.
Yet millions will get dropped from employer-provided coverage over the course of this year and be stuck with that alternative.

Oh, brother. This takes the cake. Cons relentless ACA attacks - coming home to roost
[ In Reply To ..]and now they're trying to blame THAT on the president. Pretzel logic.
That explains why mainstream republicans have backed away - from repeal efforts
[ In Reply To ..]and left their extreme faction holding that bag. They are trying to move on, but the dwindling number of TPs in the House didn't read the memo.
ProMT - you should get another moniker - you've got a troll following you around
[ In Reply To ..]Yeah, its me, your friend Karen. All your posts the troll is following you. I know you can handle yourself, but is kind of hard to hold any type of conversation with trolls following you.
Thank you, my friend. - ProMT
[ In Reply To ..]Very good advice, and I appreciate it, but if I was to change my moniker, the troll would soon realize that he/she does not like my posts and would continue stalking me. As you stated, I can handle myself, so as long as the troll is following me, maybe he/she will leave others alone. Thanks, again.
Don't back down. - I am Charlie.
[ In Reply To ..]Maybe they will learn something while trolling.
Will the real Charlie please stand up - Charlie respects all
[ In Reply To ..]free speech and thoughts.
They? As in plural trolls? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]"They" appear to already know how make points that are met with name calling, stalking accusations and other diversionary tactics away from feasible political discussion. It's not possible to blame the president for possible fallout behind ACA repeal efforts the House has voted on dozens of time and the GOP has vowed to obsessively pursue. I can't blame them for trying, but they own it, like it or not.
And why is it - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]that only the conservatives on this board are the ones generally using monikers? Are the liberals afraid to identify themselves for some reason?
Elimination of moniker prevents tangential - insult point which
[ In Reply To ..]I have found conservatives tend to pursue.
For example, a discussion of Michelle Obama's school lunch program ends up as a discussion about her hair or dress.
I have found meaningless monikers get more response than the posts.
I agree with you. - Debi
[ In Reply To ..]It's fear or maybe embarrassment.
Names - Jen
[ In Reply To ..]Are you attempting to cast the cons as being braver than the libs? Really?
I've been reading here for months, and I seem to recall several liberals that used monikers. TimQ and Patriot come to mind immediately.
And isn't Clyde a lib? And Nana7?
So much for that theory, eh?
I'm a lib too, though not affiliated with any - political party. -Silly Me
[ In Reply To ..]
What makes differing political viewpoints - "trolling?"
[ In Reply To ..]xx
Yep. I'd like to hear that answer too. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
Me three. What "trolling" occurred? - ?? (nm)
[ In Reply To ..]*
Its not differing viewpoints. Its a poster going after - ProMT anytime she posts
[ In Reply To ..]and the troll starts in with ridiculing her, not adding to the conversation. That is trolling.
So she not allowed to reply to each of - ProMT's posts
[ In Reply To ..]I don't think that is trolling. I can't find any personal ridicule of ProMT. Maybe you could give some specifics.
They think anything that differs even slightly - from their opinion is "trollilng".
[ In Reply To ..]Plus there's that name-calling thing, too. Difficult habit to kick, I guess.
It is part of the Republican fear personality constellation - nm

Liberals Lose Their Cool In The Supreme Court Fight Over ObamacareNov 18, 2014
On Nov. 7, the Supreme Court said it would entertain the latest legal assault on President Obama’s health-reform program. Leading liberal analysts worry—reasonably—that the justices will cripple Obamacare.

CBO Now Says 10 Mil Will Lose Employer Health Plans Under ObamaCareJan 28, 2015
The Congressional Budget Office now says ObamaCare will push 10 million off employer-based coverage, a tenfold increase from its initial projection. The "keep your plan" lie just gets bigger and bigger. The latest CBO report is supposed to be a big win for the Obama administration because the projected costs are 20% below what the CBO first projected in 2010. But the CBO report also shows that ObamaCare will be far more disruptive to the employer-based insurance market, while being far less ef ...

German Federal Supreme Court: Measles Is NOT A VirusJan 26, 2017
