Affordable Care Act only has one word of truth in its name, act. There has been nothing but broken Obama promises since its passage and what it was supposed to be is in fact only an act of hypocrisy.
Deception number one is the term “affordable” which once again will be proved otherwise, as higher premiums escalating at an extreme pace by 2017. The cost of the silver plan, the most popular choice for lower and middle income Americans, under Obamacare, will go up by 11 percent, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, in a study released this week.
Nearly 70% of “Obamacare exchange visitors” have bought the “silver plan”. Those who choose this plan tend to be “sicker and the (sic) care is more expensive”, insurers noted.
The costs connected with these plans were underestimated causing great losses due to the error, thus resulting in the fee hikes.
One of the biggest talking points and ultimate lies regarding Obamacare was that it would be affordable. Yet there are six promises, made by Obama, that have been since broken regarding Obamacare, and he does not care at all.

I turned 65 January. Went and signed up for medicare to avoid being penalized. Two weeks after signing up I get a 1500 bill. Just for signing up, because I would not use medicare. Phone calls all day long every day from insurance company insisting I should use my wonderful healthcare. So I went in for a checkup. Several days later I received a bill totalling 2400 dollars and my medicare terminated
I’d like to know who it’s affordable for. We have insurance through my husband’s employer that we can’t opt out of. Anyway, since Obamacare our premiums have gone up 336%, our deductible is before insurance pays the first dime is 12,000 and my prescriptions have tripled in cost. Then they only pay 80% leaving us 20% to pay on top of the already 12,000. It’s not affordable and now it’s going up again in 2017? Please stop this madness.
