The Tea Party isn't in power. You could attack the Whigs and the Moose Party next. The party in power is the Democrats. They OWN it.

Yes, Obama is creating MORE people without health insurance. We propose repeal of ObamanableCare. 87% of the public once had and were satisfied with their healthcare.

Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog: Coverage of Extreme Events in the IPCC AR5

“Current datasets indicate no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century … No robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin”
...
“In summary, confidence in large scale changes in the intensity of extreme extratropical cyclones since 1900 is low”

When the tea party and the republicans read the bill, they pointed out four fundamental problems: 1. People would have their plans and doctors cancelled - CHECK 2. Premiums would skyrocket - CHECK 3. Jobs will be lost - CHECK 4. The cost to taxpayers will massively explode - PENDING The first three have already occurred, while the fourth won't be obvious for another year.

Insurers restricting choice of doctors and hospitals to keep costs down e Obama administration made it a priority to keep down the cost of insurance on the exchanges, the online marketplaces that are central to the Affordable Care Act. But one way that insurers have been able to offer lower rates is by creating networks that are far smaller than what most Americans are accustomed to. The result, some argue, is a two-tiered system of health care: Many of the people who buy health plans on the exchanges have fewer hospitals and doctors to choose from than those with coverage through their employers. A number of the nation’s top hospitals — including the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, and children’s hospitals in Seattle, Houston and St. Louis — are cut out of most plans sold on the exchange. In most cases, the decision was about the cost of care. In Seattle, the region’s predominant insurer, Premera Blue Cross, decided not to include the children’s hospital as an in- network provider except in cases where the service sought cannot be obtained anywhere else. “Children’s non-unique services were too expensive given the goal of providing affordable coverage for consumers,” spokesman Eric Earling said in an e-mail.
