Obamacare is working If you mean it's pricing the common man out of being able to afford healthcare….you're correct. Otherwise it's just another koan lie. Health insurance gets to collect fees and provide inferior and/or no service. wonderful koan. And this on top of January's 7% hike and last years 13% hike. You and Obama said costs would drop. HONOLULU — Hawaii’s two largest health insurers reported $36 million in quarterly losses Friday and blamed the downturn on fees required by the federal Affordable Care Act. - The entity has proposed increasing premiums by 13 percent on average beginning July 1. Because that’s an average across customer groups, some customers could see even higher increases, Kuraoka said. - See more at: westhawaiitoday.com

Obamacare is working and dems are going to run on it. Get a clue - that's a huge lie. The only thing going on with the numbers is the churn created by people switching from the policies that got canceled to the new ones. No democrat that wants to win will run on obamacare. Old people already had medicare and that's all obamacare does is route them into medicare - so not even worth counting. Where are the millions that couldn't get insurance due to preexisting conditions? Why has the employer mandate been delayed for so long? Why are unions and so many others excluded from this "fine" piece of law? Why are insurance companies already saying that premiums must go higher? Didn't obama claim if would save people money? How many lies has this man told? Why do you continue to believe the lies and false promises of politicians especially democrats? Real budgets and fiscal responsibility are on the way either by the people voting or bankruptcy.

Mark Pryor is NOT "kicking ass". He is an incumbent who is in serious danger of losing his seat over his Obamacare vote. I can assure you that people in Arkansas HATE it. Really hate it. I can't find anyone who likes it. The Medicaid expansion is a fiscal disaster. And doctors aren't taking it. One doc we processed claims for a couple years ago took ONLY Medicaid then. She told me last week she has gone CASH ONLY. She was more committed to taking Medicaid than any doc I've met. And this is why Obama has illegally deferred the biggest components of it until after the election. And this week, one of the biggest most vocal supporters of Obamacare (Aaron Carroll) blogged that he sees the employer mandate as "non-essential". What a turnaround. They know it is a disaster and are doing what they can to keep it from hitting before the election. My guess is the cancellation notices will go out in October anyway. As they should.
