Remember how Mr. Obama and so many other Democrats told us that people would love Obamacare as time went on? How’s that working out?

Another day, another big concern with Obamacare (Politico) Think the canceled health policies hurt the Obamacare cause? There’s another political time bomb lurking that could explode not too long before next year’s elections: rate hikes for small businesses. Like the canceled individual health plans, it’s another example of a tradeoff that health care experts have […]

Yet another bad poll for Obama, Democrats, and their horrible partisan law (Yahoo News) Americans who already have health insurance are blaming President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul for their rising premiums and deductibles, and overall 3 in 4 say the rollout of coverage for the uninsured has gone poorly.

Obviously, only Democrats are allowed to make those kinds of comparisons, especially comparing Republicans to terrorists for daring to want to hold federal spending in check, or when they call Republicans the Taliban. And there’s that fun phrase “Reich-wing”. Anyhow North Carolina Legislator: Obamacare Worse Than Terrorists, Stalin, Hitler Combined North Carolina State Senator Bob […]

Imagine had a Republican treated a female physician in this manner (NY Post) Dr. Patricia McLaughlin, whose ObamaCare woes were first highlighted in The Post, gave a House committee a simple prescription for the defective health care law: “Fix it!†But Democratic lawmakers pounced on her for relating how she got hit with an ObamaCare “double […]

Another day, another problem (Politico) Why do Republicans even bother trying to delay Obamacare? President Barack Obama’s doing it all by himself.

That’s right, another “unintended consequence” (WSJ) Here’s something your orthodontist is not smiling about: a new tax rule raised the cost of braces this year.

Gee, if only someone had predicted that something like this could happen going back to the time before the “Affordable” Care Act was passed. This was information that people really needed!

Seriously, the comparison to Amazon.com is beyond ridiculous. Heck, even small consumer websites do better (The Hill) Capitol Hill staffers who signed up for ObamaCare through the Washington, D.C., healthcare exchange, called DC Health Link (DCHL), are being told to confirm their enrollments in person, and not to rely on data provided by the website.

The hit parade grows (The Blaze) First some consumers found they couldn’t keep their existing health insurance plans. Then others learned they couldn’t keep their doctors. Now it’s possible that under Obamacare, some people won’t be able to keep their medications, or at least not afford them, under the complex formulary structure of the plans […]
