While writing the Obamacare bill back in 2009, Obama’s health care adviser Jonathan Gruber stated that the ACA would definitely not be affordable.
After Gruber counseled Obama personally of this fact…Obama told the American people that premiums would go down. The Liar In Chief was doing what he does best.
Adding insult to injury is the Obamacare mandate.
“The problem is it starts to go hand in hand with the mandate; you can’t mandate insurance that’s not affordable. This is going to be a major issue,” Gruber revealed in a lecture on Oct. 2, 2009.

make 29,000 a year with 4 kids and you cant obamer care
i have my own insurance dont need his
Agreed, Nettie. My family has had our own insurance through the same carrier for about 10 years. In all of that time I think the actual premium has gone up a total of $200/mo- over 10 years. Sure, year to year the copays have gone up and down- one year the medicine copay will be $10, next year it will be $5, some years the copay for an office visit will be $30, next year it will be $25. Those increases I can deal with. And we never had to go to an exchange, never had to deal with subsidies, and when we do our taxes, at the very end there is a question which simply asks: do you have health insurance? Then you press a button that says yes or no. No further questions after that, no need to prove we have it or don’t, such as providing the insurance policy number or anything. Last year was the first time we were asked. I don’t know what happens when you have to press no. And we are by no means rich or middle class even. I would describe us as working poor. Even though we’d probably pay less if we went through all the rigamarole and tried to get a subsidy, we are certain that the quality of our policy would suffer and that isn’t worth it to us. If you can afford to I would advise trying to get a policy through a private company rather than going to the exchanges. There are deals out there, one just has to look. Yes it is still expensive (ours runs about $800/mo- seems expensive but we get great benefits- better than we’d get with the cheaper subsidised plan) and your policy will still have to meet the ACA standard but we’ve found it’s worth it to pay for it ourselves. Also certain drugs and non complex office visits are less than what our copay would be so we save a little that way as well.
people should never pay a penny for obamacare, it is no good
and they said palin was nuts when she referred to the death panels
People are loosing there homes over the affordable care , they can’t afford it .
The icing on the cake is that you are paying for VA insurance for me which is less than obamacare.
