PPACA Is Coming Soon To Your Neighborhood

If you figure that the private health care cost is about 60% of the figure used by the economist, because they had included medicare, veterans, and medicaid the result you get would not be that much different. I did a quick calculation and came up with 0.008333333. This is not much different than the amount stated by the Economists (0.005000). I should add that I'm a democrat, but also a moderate/independent. I was expecting to find an economic advantage to Obamacare when doing some research on the topic. In fact, it seems to be a huge unnecessary mess.

Ah Paul! As usually right ON TARGET! GREAT post, thank you for your clarity and your well informed opinions SO Glad to know your out there, MAKING things clear to the likes of these so uninformed........Thanks!!!

When President Obama took office he had a national housing market crisis, a global recession, and a huge national debt to deal with. Democrats had majority in the Senate and Congress. For the first two years of his term, Obama could have done anything he wished regarding steering this country in the right direction and he chose to come up with Obamacare. If nothing else, we should be infuriated that he chose this over dealing with actual issues that plagued us then, and still plague us today.

>>>I think if you were to inform people about the benefits of Obamacare, then I doubt people would want it repealed.>>>It's the "mandate" that makes it unconstitutional; hence, the reason people want it repealed. We, the People, did not grant our federal public servants the authority to award themselves mandating power to dictate private-sector products and punish us if we — their bosses — dared to disobey them. Get it?>>>I know that my friend with diabetes who now has good care for control of his sugar doesn't want it repealed. I think you are being disingenuous in your rhetoric.>>>Scroll down this looooooooooooooong list and tell me what Pelosi/Reid/O didn't quite understand about their bosses' "Against/Oppose" sentiment: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/obama_and_democrats_health_care_plan-1130.html
