Lets reflect with him. During his first campaign for the presidency in 2008, the president promised that his health reform plan would
bring down premiums by $2,500 for the typical family by the end of his first term.
Well, that first term is just about up. And health insurance isnt any cheaper. In fact, its more expensive. Premiums have increased by an average of $3,065. And theyre about to go up even more, as Obamacare takes effect during the presidents second term.
At the end of 2012, Mark Bertolini, the CEO of Aetna, the third-largest health insurer in the country, warned that many consumers would face premium rate shock with the advent of Obamacares major insurance regulations in 2014. He predicted that unsubsidized premiums would rise 20 to 50 percent, on average.
Obamacare Guarantees Higher Health Insurance Premiums -- $3,000+ Higher - Forbes
So instead of decreasing by $2,500 , premiums have INCREASED by $3,000!!
With the average individual health insurance premium today being $4,547 in 2011,
Folks no matter how you cut it... THIS shows how totally inept Obama and his administration really is!
How could any of you keep your job if you told your bosses.. next year our costs will go down by $2,500 only to have to report a year later to your boss
our costs didn't go down but WENT up $3,000 boss... How long would you be working for the boss because YOU not only lied but you showed your total incompetence!
Instead of premiums dropping $2,500 to $2,000 THEY INCREASED to $7,547!
THAT IS A SWING of 377%!
But what can you expect when these idiots couldn't even tell you that 10 million of the supposed 50 million are NOT CITIZENS!
Or tell you 14 million of the supposed 50 million WERE ALREADY COVERED!
Or pass off as "uninsured" 18 million people under age 34, make over $50K and have little health expenses so they pay out of their own pocket!
That leaves truly 8 million!
But this inept President can't even add and subtract!
This idiot President proudly stated..
He said ""And if we are able to slow the growth of health care costs by just one-tenth of 1 percent each year -- one-tenth of 1 percent --
it will actually reduce the deficit over the long term"!!
"Deficit"??
A) Obama confused "debt" with "deficit"!
B) But the most egregious? When Obama said "over the long term" this idiot evidently had no idea how big the debt was ($8 TRILLION at the time!!)
But he stupidly thought reducing the deficit $2.5 billion a year was impactful... IT WOULD BE OVER 1,600 YEARS!
