Even Politico says Obamacare is working! (link)


Herb, my OWNAGE of your racist KKK ass continues! You refuse to give him credit for anything simply because he's black!


The right measure of the ACA isn’t whether it avoids political controversy; it’s whether it makes America better by achieving its five most fundamental goals: expanding health-insurance coverage, lowering costs and promoting fiscal responsibility, increasing quality through innovation, protecting seniors and delivering peace of mind to American families by guaranteeing essential rights in dealing with insurance companies.

By that standard the law is already a success. Health insurance has expanded. More than 5 million Americans have signed up for coverage through federal and state marketplaces; millions have been determined eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program; and 3 million young adults gained insurance through their parents’ coverage. Even more compelling than statistics are the letters hard-working Americans are sharing with the president. Their unscripted and private testimonials are building a lasting record of the life-changing—and often lifesaving—impacts the ACA is having. One woman from Colorado shared what the peace of mind of having coverage meant to her. “After using my new insurance for the first time, you probably heard my sigh of relief from the White House,” she wrote to President Obama. “I felt like a human being again. I felt that I had value.”

At the same time, costs are coming down. The Congressional Budget Office found the health care law is making significant contributions to fiscal responsibility. The CBO’s most recent estimates show that repealing the law would actually increase deficits by $1.7 trillion over the next 20 years. Moreover, average premiums for coverage through the marketplaces are about 15 percent lower than the CBO previously projected.

Hi megafauna005,

I was wondering if you could address this:

Well the data is debateable and I'm through debating ACA.

However, my question to you was:

Megafauna,

I've read a lot of Herb's posts. I agree with him on some issues and views and disagree with him on others... However, I don't detect any racism what so ever in any of his comments.

Could you please quote some of his comments that you find racist so I can better understand your argument?


Thanks.

"Phil Schiliro was director of White House legislative affairs and a special adviser to the president from 2009-2012. He recently rejoined the White House as a health-care adviser."

Um...yeah, that certainly doesn't make the author of this article the least bit biased in favor of this bill...

Did you bother to read any of the testimonials from the other side saying how it screwed them over? Of course not. Schmuck. I'd love to tear that bullcrap apart, but I've got to see a man about a boat. Later.

Why can you never simply answer a question like a decent human being? You are like a 3 year old. Grow up, kid. Answer the question, or explain why you shouldn't.

reply

WRONG as usual Herb! Why don't you answer about all the MILLIONS who had to declare bankruptcy and had their lives ruined due to medical costs BEFORE Obamacare? With no more lifetime caps and no more discrimination against pre existing conditions people don't have to worry about that anymore!

You also forget all the HORROR stories before Obamacare when insurance companies could drop you for ANY reason and hike premiums for any reason without notice! I saw my biggest premium increases with Anthem in 2003 and 2006 under Bush yet now my premiums are steady for the first time thanks to Obama!

Herb why don't you just admit you are an inbred backwoods KKK racist who won't give Obama credit for ANYTHING simply because he's black? Obamacare is here to STAY so dwell on that during your next KKK meeting!

Answer as simply as you can. Why are you so hung up on race? What is it about race that gets you so frazzled, kid?
