Thread Name: BS: So who's signed up for Obamacare?
Subject: RE: BS: So who's signed up for Obamacare?
Today, White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked about the president's promise that consumers would be able to keep their health care. "What the president said and what everybody said all along is that there are going to be changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act to create minimum standards of coverage, minimum services that every insurance plan has to provide," Carney said. "So it's true that there are existing healthcare plans on the individual market that don't meet those minimum standards and therefore do not qualify for the Affordable Care Act."

That's from NBC, Obama's lapdog news network. The Obama administration knew all along that people wouldn't be able to keep their health plans.

NBC goes on to downplay the situation. They say 50-75% of 15 million will be affected, but 19 million Americans carry personal insurance, and 85% won't be able to continue with their plans. They will be forced to either skip insurance altogether or pay the increased rates on the policies offered by the Obamacare exchanges. If they skip the insurance, then the Gestapo (I mean the I.R.S.) will come collecting.

The middle class in America has shrunk to about 10%. Obamacare is designed to devastate that group of people. The middle class will now have to pay higher premiums for less coverage, or become criminals. And if you're not onboard with that, then you're a Tea Party terrorist.
