I like how your "article" starts with the word ADVERTISEMENT.
Christ, you'd swallow a turd if Fox News told you it was a truffle.
Read the article.
EDIT: here's the original link. So you can find the word "advertisement" yourself.

The facts are in, you silly, bombastic, impertinent little man. The facts are so damning that 39 Democrats in the House and voted against the President, and 12 Senate Democrats went to the White House to bawl Obama out. Here's a fact - people who have applied for Obamacare have seen their premiums and deductibles go up by a factor of ten.
I've never seen this much political panic in my lifetime. Do you not read newspapers? Even liberal newspapers are all over him. You keep trucking Obama's water though, we need a village idiot to bat around.

So listen, we'll just see. Right? To you, the future looks brightest only during the height of a storm, when uncertainty and chaos is greatest. Invariably things settle down, and the picture gets clearer. And invariably when that happens, your "sure things" go bust, and you move on to something else. That's your pattern. You live for the "now," just like a little puppy dog.
I won't be around as often as you like. I do have a life outside this forum.

This is not a prediction. It's happening. Though large businesses are largely exempt, the regs force individuals AND small business polices to comply, so the talk about it only affecting 5% is BS. Speak to your local health insurance agent. More than half of small business policies are going to have to be adjusted to comply with the ACA. Yes, your 26 year old brat will be covered and the new plan will pay for all these new goodies that a few special interests want covered, but in the meantime, for many or most people who actually work hard and run or work for small business and make a living wage will see their plans get crappier than they are.
This is happening NOW and will happen over the next year as policies go through their annual renewals and are dumped or modified.
If the ACA is not fixed (i.e., amended), one year from today, it will be the most reviled piece of legislation in last 150 years in this country.
This is not about the part of the ACA that subsidizes insurance for low income people. I don't have a major problem with that element of the bill. The problem is all these new costly requirements for existing policies. That's what's going to kill this administration.

Don't be moronic. A cancellation of an old policy is a prerequisite to enacting a new policy.
You really think insurance companies are just going to irrevocably dump 100 million of their customers? Yeah? It must be trippy to be you.
force it. Which is why everyone has been claiming it is a bad law.

From the 30-hour threshold, to the 49-employee threshold, to the fact that this bill takes money from every other part of the economy to pay for health premiums. It's a painfully stupid bill from a painfully stupid group of people.
