Millions Lose Health Insurance Since ObamaCare Passage

Written on by V2A, Filed under

Throughout the Obamacare debate, President Obama repeatedly promised, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.” Now, Gallup reports that from the first quarter of 2010 (when Obama signed Obamacare into law) to the third quarter of this year, 2 percent of American adults lost their employer sponsored health insurance. In other words, about 4.5 million Americans lost their employer-sponsored insurance over a span of just 18 months.

This is not what the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had predicted would happen. Rather, the CBO had predicted that Obamacare would increase the number of people with employer-sponsored insurance by now.  It had predicted that, under Obamacare, 6 million more Americans would have employer-sponsored insurance in 2011 than in 2010 . So the CBO’s rosy projections for Obamacare are already proving false.

    We are living in sad times in America when we have the greatest health care system that is being torn apart by a corrupt government who isn't even willing to be part of their own deal. How can it be good for us if it is not good for them? Things have turned upside down in this country for one reason only: people have turn away from God's plan for their life. Our great nation cannot continue unless we start putting God first. If we do this, great things will happen in our own lives and blessings from God upon this Nation.

    If any of you want to get sick for any strange reason, like mental illness, go to the HuffPost and read their blogs. The Liberal's view on what Obama and the Democrats are doing to America is truly sickening. I just can't stomach their Liberal ideology.

    So the lady Pel-o-C said you will have to pass this health care legislation to see what's in it and she was right for those who voted for zero! Let them shoulder the load! Older people should have vigilant over their teenagers and 20-year-olds to school them about what this fellow meant when he was talking about "hope and change"

    I hope this is "the" last time any dims ever get elected in this country! For gullible people, the dims are good at cover-ups! Why most people went for the "boy's" ideas, most or all needed to know a little bit about history! If one has read history, one can't be fooled when marxist ideas are afloat!!!!

    It is probably too late. We don't have any future leaders that will completely gut Affordable HealthCare.
    How many different cancers does the USA have to get before it caves in.
    In 20 years, you will see us sliding into Third World Status.

    Cancer? Take two aspirin and get plenty of rest. Unless of course you are Ted Kennedy or one of the "Privileged Class" then the taxpayer is at your behest. That is the thing with those whom consider themselves our betters. Expendable we are and they are not . It is a social justice thing in that they want us to believe we need them to determine our standing in all things. Congress deserves nothing of the people. Service to the people was and should be their driving motivation. Isn't that who we want in service to our needs? As a people we have become lazy, sloth in our responsibility as citizens.
    Nathanael Greene said something of the sort to General Washington….We need not win a battle to win the war……What an insult it must be for a power mad community organizer to attain the office General George Washington so disdained. There is no word for the embarrassment this current administration has bestowed upon this nation. A man of color but not really. More is he the same Master man has sought to free himself of. Barrack Obama is in service of himself and no-one else.

    REMEMBER NOVEMBER, Too bad the republicans in Congress could block an impeachment!

  • The Truth

    Another example of liberals passing legislation that causes more problems than the original issue so they can continue to stand on their soap boxes and chant the cry of saving the victims of society. This is how they get elected.

    Where is all this cheap oil at so we can get cheaper gasoline. It ain't gonna happen. The lobbyists are taking us down. This country is in ruins.

    Since this pain-in-the-posterior has been in office, my hospitalization has more than doubled. I won't be able to afford it very much longer. But it's so good to know that some deserving illegal alien will be able to get treatment because of people like me!!! I does my heart good to see our government treat our enemies so well and treat its citizens so shabbily!!! Hasn't it made relations between people better?
    Is there really anyone out there who is still so detached from reality that he will again vote for this disaster of a president?
