The glaring evidence that Obamacare is a catastrophic FAILURE continues to mount

Obamacare Just Keeps on Tanking - David Limbaugh - Page 1

First, Unite Here -- a major union for the hotel, gaming, food service, manufacturing, textile, distribution, laundry and airport industries -- has issued a report concluding that Obamacare will result in wages being reduced by up to $5 an hour, reduce worker hours and exacerbate income inequality. The report, titled "The Irony of ObamaCare: Making Inequality Worse," states: "Ironically, the Administration's own signature healthcare victory poses one of the most immediate challenges to redressing inequality. ... We take seriously the promise that 'if you like your health plan, you can keep it. Period.' UNITE HERE members like their health plans."

Hey, Harry Reid, is this Baptist Preacher a Liar, too? Pastor Hit by Truck Another ObamaCare Victim

As if that’s not enough to worry about, Matthew has to figure out how to pay for his medical treatment. Because of the Affordable Care Act, he doesn’t have health insurance – and he’s now on the hook for more than $100,000 in bills.

Matthew and his wife used to have insurance through Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Like many Americans, they received a letter in 2013 informing them of a hike in premiums. The couple had been paying $550 per month for their plan and Blue Cross was raising the rate by more than 15 percent. Even though they liked their insurance plan, Matthew said it was no longer in their budget.

“It was a significant increase that we could not afford,” he said. “We had to let it go and find something new that would be better for us financially.”

The Morgans tried to sign up for ObamaCare on the Healthcare.gov website, but Matthew said that was a fruitless effort.

“We couldn’t get on the website,” he said. “That was one of our issues as we shopped around. Then, we received the notification from the Internal Revenue Service that we would be penalized if we didn’t have health insurance. We were in the process of trying to get it as soon as possible. The website being down did not help.”

The Morgans eventually found an insurance plan. It goes into effect in April – too late to help with their current predicament.

Thanks Harry.
 
You are very confused. There are jobs that can be done by people with relatively little education and minimal skills. In other words, people who apply for them are not in a good position to negotiate. Businesses could pay them a wage that allows them to pay for the cost of their minimal lives, but chooses not to. The consequences of that are higher taxes.

At the other end of the spectrum are highly specialized jobs where the demand exceeds the supply of qualified people. Under those circumstances there will always be jobs unfilled.

Those are not the same populations. The two problems are unrelated.

Sorry to see that PMZ got banned.

A better way to help these workers could be to set up their own co-op or
business operations, where they do the same work but pay themselves to manage it.

1. instead of profit going to a third party, they could share these costs and
retain more control and profit from their own labor
2. they could set up a union, co-op, or even a school and hire professionals to train
them in management so they move up in learning to run and own their own business
3. this would be more sustainable, rotating out new workers and managers to train,
teaching them business skills to become independent. Whereas depending on govt regs to manipulate the wages
keeps both the workers dependent on management AND keeps BOTH groups dependent on govt.
That doesn't solve the problem of economic disparity or development.

Democrats in Disarray: Party Frightened, Fractured Over Obamacare - Guy Benson

The magnitude of Obamacare's failure is becoming increasingly clear every day. Enrollment rates and demographics are weak. Central promises have been shattered. Affordability remains elusive for millions. Costs for families, small businesses and the federal government are going up. And the uninsured aren't participating. In spite of a parade of delays and "fixes," Reeling from a bellwether special election loss, Democrats find themselves right back where they were in late 2013: Panicked over their poisonous signature law. Back then, they tried to blame "glitches" in the rollout. The problems that persist today cut to the heart of the law itself. How will Democrats spin Obamacare heading into November? They've devolved from vowing to proudly run on Obamacare, to focusing on making needed changes to the law, to...chaotic disagreement.
 
President Obama recently admitted that Obamacare will cause some Americans to lose their doctors. Some have suggested that his promise “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” should be 2014’s “Lie of the Year.” But what about his promise that Obamacare would lower premiums by $2,500 per family?

As we—what’s the opposite of celebrate?—the fourth anniversary of Obamacare’s passage this weekend, Americans have already seen their premiums double or even triple. And premiums aren’t finished going up.

Obamacare and Health Insurance Premiums: Have You Saved $2,500?
 
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that from 2015 to 2024, the mandate penalty—which the Supreme Court ruled is essentially a tax—is expected to cost Americans $51 billion.

And that was after President Obama promised not to raise taxes on the middle class.

But then again, Mr. Asshat also promised "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan". And after that, he turned around and promised "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor". Basically every "promise" he makes is a "promise" he fully intends to break. The only thing Obama has any talent for is lying.

Lying or rather it's just that others have been running his show, because he is to uninformed or weak to do so. He is just a talking head it seems, and has been for a long while now. Who knows old Lewis Farakhan, Jerimiah Wright, Hillary, Nancy, Reed and many others may be running this show for all we know, but not Obama as his words have shown through these lies he went out and told so foolishly. Nope he sure isn't running anything but a teleprompter maybe, and even someone is doing that one for him also.

Are you kidding me? With his massive ego? Trust me, this egomaniac wouldn't defer to God Himself if He came down and told Obama what was best.
 
This is what the left just can't seem to understand - that costs will ALWAYS be passed on to the consumer (thus the minimum wage worker will never get ahead with an increase to minimum wage). The left thinks they can make wealthy people eat the cost of their socialism and that is simply never going to happen.

Restaurant Passes On The Cost Of Obamacare
 

Here is a real kicker from the article:

The CBO’s findings on the total number of Americans who will receive new private insurance show that the health care law isn’t making much of a dent. By the end of 2014, the CBO predicts that there will be 42 million uninsured Americans; in ten years, that number will have dropped to 31 million without insurance.

Wow....Obama should be proud.

Only one person can be the worst president in history and every day he secures his lock on that title.
