Obamacare is redefining how you spell “success.” And while it’s far from perfect, what it’s achieved has been needed for a long time. It seems there’s a lot of good news about the act lately. A number of non-partisan budget analyses, including ones carried out by the Congressional Budget Office, have consistently proven that the ACA…

GOP is antithesis of good, honest, successful, kind, sympathetic, intelligent, loyal, patriotic, and most of all ‘love’.

All the more reason to repeal it!!!

That damned, socialist usurper! How dare he cost us less in healthcare with his obviously unconstitutional Obamacare!!
John Tarter March 11th, 2015 at 17:58
Gee, why didn’t you mention that the cost will be going up like 8% a year in the meantime? And really, it is going to cost the nation billions with all the subsidies that will be going to the folks who can’t afford health insurance on their own. And I won’t even mention all the illegals that will now be in the system – more millions!

Because the CBO deals with facts and objective information, not right wing talk radio bullsh*t.
Next question.

The CBO factors in any of these things.
As for; nation billions with all the subsidies that will be going to the folks who can’t afford health insurance on their own.

Who do you think has BEEN paying for them??
Illegals??
More than before????
John Tarter March 11th, 2015 at 18:29
Yes, more than before. Millions more have come into the country since all this started and just wait until the summer rolls in. Face it, nobody is saving $2500.00 per plan and the whole thing is just one big money sucking machine.
OldLefty March 11th, 2015 at 18:37
We will pay a lot less than we have been for the increasing ranks of the uninsured.
As for the $2,500.00?
That was in 2007 when Obama was including the public option.
I do agree that the private, for profit health insurance industry has always been one big money sucking machine, but they still had to be included at this point.

Illegal immigration slows almost to a standstill
The number of illegal immigrants from Mexico, the largest source of migrants, has dropped by the largest margin since the Great Depression.

There Is No Surge in Illegal Immigration
The overall rate of illegal immigration has actually decreased significantly in the last 10 years. The time is ripe for immigration reform.

In NY our HC insurance premiums dropped from $1000+ per month, to $308 monthly without any subsidies. Are you beginning to see why 32.9 M 2015 ACA buyers, up from 2014’s 28 M, saved a fortune? Totals and estimates are here. http://acasignups.net/
The ACA reduces Federal deficits by $1.5 T+ and costs “11% less, or $142 billion in savings over the next 10 years, than what the agency originally projected in January. Additionally, the law will cost 29% less for the 2015-2019 time frame than the CBO’s initial forecast” made in March, 2010.

So let me guess, it’s the Midwest GOPers that are causing the problems for Washington, NYC, and the other dozen or so states that created their own healthcare exchange? Has Oregpn even gotten their website up and running?
