Ugh at anyone supporting capping payouts at some arbitrarily chosen figure.

Obamacare's winners and losers

Good start!

yeah, isn't it amazing how the middle class is footing the bill for the poor?

Well if you want to tax the rich more, I'm all for it.

is it?

Lol checkmate in one move

Isnt it? 11% drop in around a quarter seems extremely good, what were you expecting?

Pet insurance is actually a disaster because of adverse selection.

lol it's not extremely good, and I highly doubt it met expectations.

Its hard to tell, when I try googling for a quote on it I am swamped with articles on how Obamacare is crushing expectations on enrolments. Assuming the two are linked I feel safe saying it is at least meeting expectations.

Yep, Obama is quite the chess player

Union: Obamacare Will 'Heighten' Income Inequality.

This chart makes it seem like a zero sum game. $2.8T a year for healthcare. Do you really believe 40 million more people added to healthcare won't increase the total costs? Those forced to buy health insurance from the individual exchange will see their healthcare costs rise thousands of dollars per year.
What about the penalties for not having health insurance? Are these people who don't pay the penalties now considered criminals?

This quarter hasn't ended? How do those who created the chart know the numbers for this quarter?

negshouse gonna negshouse

But anyway ikes ikes ikes remember how back in Michigan there was that kerfuffle about AFP having that ad with the lady whose plan couldn't have been worse? That liberal media dug even deeper:

Hahaha ikes look upon your people and weep, for among them you are King.

This ties in back with Paul Ryan's weird acceptance of a plagarised anecdote about how poor children don't want free lunch... this ad campaign cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. AFP never ****ing thought to check what her actual plan was before putting her in front of a camera? Jesus Christ, who is running that shop, and how little of a **** do they give about the Koch Brothers money? Lying in a campaign ad in a way that can get factchecked like this is a ****ing disaster, whoever the D candidate is essentially getting free campaign ads in the straight news section. You gotta at least make sure you're keeping your bull**** inside the "spin zone" of plausible he-said, she-said.

Whoops.

Imagine the savings if they cut Medicare reimbursement to 50%!

max, man, you know that medicare cost inflation consistently, like even before the ACA, is lower than private insurance, right?

shocking

i wonder what will happen when these people are forced by the fines to, you know, investigate reality

Lol this is in no way related to me. A great example of your complete lack of honesty though!

Looks like pretty underwhelming response thus far, it is early I know. But there looks to be a seasonal drop in coverage anyway in Q1. At least from looking at this.

You just can't back this up. You've cited a single study that was restricted to the medicare population. Nice work though.
