Brah this is the most infuriating thing. ACA does so much good that most dudes take for granted or act like it doesn't matter. I mean there where people on TV last election talking about how they are torn about who to vote for because they are lifelong republicans but the ACA saved their life or a loved ones life
But because of a website, and these cancellations, the entire bill should be scrapped. And what should take its place..........................no answer.
Then they bring up public option knowing full well Republicans and moderates will not go for it. Just return to how things were, and kick the bucket down the road a couple more decades while people die and get financially ruined.
Yes it should be scrapped. The Obama administration knew beforehand that site would have bugs but they decided to rollout with it anyway because of possible political repercussions. Now fixing will cosr additional hundreds of millions of dollars.
The Obama administration knew beforehand that their would mass cancellations but continuing to lie to us being able to keep our insurance. So now their trying to push a bill that would delay the cancellations for one year. Pushing this fix is taking attention away from other legislative issues.
So after all these lies and deception you're still championing this trash *** bill? That defies logic.
Man shut the hell up.
Website =/= law. Please comprehend that. Enrollment is 6 months too.
The cancellation I will give a little on because you had to see that coming. But don't act like majority of American are losing their coverage like those GOP scare ads were implying.
Obama should have better leadership, I agree, but he didn't deceive anyone, he failed to acknowledge a likely scenario which would affect a very small number of people would currently had insurance.
The bill has saved lies. It is that your self centered *** refuses to support anything that doesn't directly benefit you.
People are you a the worst kind of citizens.
Can we take it from two left leaning sources then?
If you read the Affordable Care Act when it was passed, you knew that it was dishonest for President Obama to claim that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” as he did—and continues to do—on countless occasions. And we now know that the administration knew this all along. It turns out that in an obscure report buried in a June 2010 edition of the Federal Register, administration officials predicted massive disruption of the private insurance market.
By “coverage of this issue,” Carney was referring to two articles. The first, by Chad Terhune of the Los Angeles Times, described a number of Californians who are seeing their existing plans terminated and replaced with much more expensive ones. “I was all for Obamacare until I found out I was paying for it,” said one.
The second article, by Lisa Myers and Hanna Rappleye of NBC News, unearthed the aforementioned commentary in the Federal Register, and cited “four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act” as saying that “50 to 75 percent” of people who buy coverage on their own are likely to receive cancellation notices due to Obamacare.

Not trying to be a a-hole, but what point are you trying to make.
Obama spoke about the Grandfather clause without acknowledging the loophole that would allow for cancellations to happen.
Insurance companies just told people, they your plan is cancelled, blame Obama, here is your new more expensive plan. No mention of you might be able to find a better deal on the exchange.
The pool of people affect is still relatively small to everyone with insurance. Which the GOP ads in my area were saying that Obama is gonna kick you off your insurance, no context, no nothing. Just that message
And I get the feeling you want to keep hammering home Obama raised cost for a lot of people. I get that. But that is all you seem to be hammering home, wouldn't change my mind that suddenly this law has to go. It has saved people's lives, both literally and financially. It will cost me more too, it is effecting my wallet. But I don't care. There is not alternative, the GOP want the poor to suck it up and go to the emergency room if **** gets real. I prefer this than what we had before. And I'm willing to pay for it.
I rather my money to **** like this, than fighting wars and subsidizing the rich. Period
