Obamacare and Insurance Companies Pulling Out

[Abraham]

Democrats insist Obamacare is just fine even though insurance companies are hemorrhaging dollars and the biggest has announced it's pulling out.

So, what say you: Is this the death knell of Obamacare?

[TexasJohnBoy]

Link to story? I haven't seen anything new today or are you referring to previous company's getting out?

The country's largest health-insurance company is almost entirely quitting Obamacare

From two days ago. And they won't be the only ones. Obamacare was not really designed to work. It will simply be used as "proof" that private health insurance can't work and the government must pay for -- and control -- health care directly.

There are more to come. Others have indicated they are considering doing the same. They wouldn't say that if they didn't plan to.

It was all designed to fail. It is imploding faster than expected regardless what propaganda the government puts out.

This is terrible news for Barry's administration!! At least he has his foreign policy, his crime fighting initiatives, his employment rates, and his ability to fight terrorism to fall back on!

(where was that sarcasm emoji?)

Barack Hussein Obama, and old Irish name, kinda like Barry, only different...

There is only one health carrier that I'm aware of that sings the praises of Obamacare is the one that has benefited the most from it. One needs to review campaign contribution disclosures to further understand the ties.

Kaiser Permanente?

Actually, the far left also took exception to Obamacare. They complained that it would be a bonanza for "big insurance". LOL

Notice the top health insurance political contributor and note where their headquarters is located.

Can anyone come up with a program which was so solidly rammed down a one-sided party line which has been such a failure and cost the average household so much (I am an employee of a county in TX and my families medical insurance is now over $700, up from $325 last year, a month for my contribution) which has ever succumbed to the "death knell." Not even the so called war on poverty or the war on drugs has ever been reconsidered. And if you think the Dems are going to let it die without chucking TONS of cash at..... Some believe it is set up for failure which would then "force" the government to assume control and move it to a single payer system.. Ala Bernie Sanders.

With all do respect to Prince, rest his soul, when the government dumps O'care I will look out and see Purple Rain!!

I had never thought about that before, but the lyrics of that song could easily apply to big government liberals who abuse the masses despite their "good" intentions.

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one thing, to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the Purple Rain

I like it.

If you live in North Texas like I do your choice on Obama care is Blue Cross HMO which the local hospital does not accept, no quality physician accepts, if you go out of network they don't pay and has a high deductible. So if you have any major problem you can't see a doctor or go to the hospital. You do have an insurance card though. Medicaid would be better than Blue Cross HMO as all of the hospitals take it. If you don't have any insurance the tax man is going to get you. My wife's insurance with a huge deductible on the only plan she could get is almost $800 a month compared to $220 a month pre-Obama care. I am on Medicare and for the first time in my life I am glad I am on it. On the other hand there are a bunch of free loaders getting their insurance at very low price on the backs of those who have worked all of their lives. Redistribution of wealth Obama style.

Whether considered from Vladimir Lenin's view - "Socialized Medicine is the keystone to the arch of the socialist state." -- or as part of the Cloward-Piven strategy to destroy western society by essentially overloading and bankrupting governments, the so-called "Affordable Care Act" is all about centralized control of the healthcare sector and has nothing to do with Care or Affordability. It is simply a stroke of genius -- Evil genius.
