Obamacare Middle-Class Sticker Shock

[Anonymous]

Not enough "Evil Rich People" to pay for this monstrosity.
So much for lowering costs by $2500 for average families.

Thousands of Californians are discovering what Obamacare will cost them — and many don't like what they see.

These middle-class consumers are staring at hefty increases on their insurance bills as the overhaul remakes the healthcare market. Their rates are rising in large part to help offset the higher costs of covering sicker, poorer people who have been shut out of the system for years.

Although recent criticism of the healthcare law has focused on website glitches and early enrollment snags, experts say sharp price increases for individual policies have the greatest potential to erode public support for President Obama's signature legislation.

"This is when the actual sticker shock comes into play for people," said Gerald Kominski, director of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. "There are winners and losers under the Affordable Care Act."

Which will change nothing politically as this has been know from the beginning so that everyone that supported to law knew that and will continue to do so and the hypocrites that are drinking from the govt trough in other places will just have to suck it up.

Stick it to those GOPer's baby - I can't wait until this gets them swept out of Congress!

As on most issues, I just hope that you continue to use this knews to oppose Obama Care!

"California Republicans in trouble, former California Republican says

“There is no good way to sugarcoat this. ... The Republican label is anathema to younger voters, women and Latinos -- growing voter blocs with real significance to future elections.”

“We are going to be on permanent defense in California for the foreseeable future,” the memo went on, “and even then, we will need to pick our battles wisely and not spread ourselves too thin. While playing defense, we’re going to have to try and force the Democrats into making mistakes that we can use to score small victories and build momentum.”

Miller, who could not be reached for comment Friday, noted that as Republicans have weakened in the state, labor unions have remained a potent pro-Democratic force. And the GOP traditional funding base, the corporate world, “has been little help in the overall fight” due to its desire to work with the dominant Democrats, he wrote.

The Obama Care exchanges in CA are open and signing up hundreds of thousands of people. Hundreds of thousands have also signed up for the new Medicaid benefits there.

The only question as to it's success in CA is how big it will be - will it be 85% like it is in MA?

And CA will be dead subject for that state because you studied Grey Old Partiers don't know enough to stop digging.

Because you watch only Faux News, you think that you can do a Google Search, find something that you think is negative, and throw it out here like it supports your point.

It's great fun to then, turn around and stick it up your Tea Buggers(ed) a$$!

hahhahahaahahaha

The GOP ruled CA for many years, it gave us Ronnie Roughhouse Ray-gun didn't it? The GOP has lately collapsed in CA and is now around a 30% of registered voters level.

They are finished in the state for generations.

And CA decline started with Prop 13 in 1978 and the GOP signed their death warrant there when the pushed Prop 187.

Since they have lost enough seats in the CA Assembly a budget has passed and they can now pay their bills. An the GOP famously just lost state wide initiative to raise taxes.

You can debate if the place is doing better or is going to get better but what ever happens even the GOP admits it will be without any influence from them.

Tea Buggers(ed) is what a Tea Partier really is. Since they are despised by about 60% of the American Public the derogatory name that used to be used ti describe them "Tea Baggers" is morphing into "Tea Buggers(ed)" to show just how buggered they are!

Wait... When was Reagan in California? How long ago was that? California is doomed and it is a nice glimpse into what America will look like in the future.

Sure, you could be "right" but if you are "wrong" about most all current facts why would be think that you would be? It seems that if you were so smart, you could have manipulated events in the mean time to be a little more in your favor huh?

I do agree with one thing though, prying what is left of this country from the old, dying white, guys who have a grip on it now is in progress and "their America" is under attack!

You keep talking about old, white America.... Nobody has been hurt worse in this awful economy than young minorities. The wealth gap has never been greater. This president is so incompetent, he can't even implement his socialist agenda right. How pathetic!

PBS's Tavis Smiley made a comment Thursday that every African-American as well as liberal media member should sit up and take notice.

Smiley said, "The data is going to indicate sadly that when the Obama administration is over, black people will have lost ground in every single leading economic indicator category"

Now go talk about destroying white people, you friggin' racist!

I saw the show and it was in the context of the GOP control on the House and obstructionism is the Senate.

This is why you are losing. You think that you can take something out of context and it proves your point. The funny thing is that is DOES with others like you.

Did you see the clip of Rand Paul on the campus of an African American University and he started down the road of saying that it is the Dems that are racists by asking the students, "Does anyone know that the original board of the NAACP were all Republicans?" and he got a resounding "yes" and then had to back-off.

You see, in his crwd the narrative is "thus this proves that the liberal Dems are the racists" because he, and you, leave out the context of the history of the last 50 plus years.

The current voter suppression laws passed in many GOP controlled states is but another example and the video of the racist precinct leader in NC is great!

Also, Obama's hammering you with the Immigration Reform is another.

Have you seen the latest movie? The documentary about the roots of modern Southern Conservatism? It's called, '12 years a slave".

All the Dixiecrats left the Democrats and went to the GOP starting with Nixon's famous Southern Strategy.

Thanks, your ignoring of that fact was the point of the post. You are a hoot!

That is why Rand's speech was so funny. That's what is funny about you racist guys!

I don't have time to teach you the history of slavery, Jim Crow laws, the south and the democrat party.... Especially since this site is about Obamacare, but I will tell you this: It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.
