    Hello again,

    I HAVE the answer.. It MAY be the disaster you wingers proclaim it to be, but like I said, you're the same people who told me about the death panels, and that wasn't true. So, you have NO credibility on the issue.

    So, I'm a supporter of Obamacare. But, I'm not an idiot. If it PROVES to be the disaster you've said it is, then I'll help repeal it. So will every reasonable American..

    So, relax. Let things take place, and when tal and me get pissed off at it, we'll tell you it's time. It's EASY, huh? No more heartache. Everybody wins.

    This is not about my credibility, story after story about the broken promises, higher costs, lowered choices and the all-out disaster - even from former admin officials - and you guys blow it off. If you won't listen to real people being affected and supporters of the law's criticisms who will you listen to?

    I repeat, this isn't just picking a fight to me, you're messing with my life and I rightfully resent that.

    I agree. It's NOT about you.. The "you" I was referring to, is the euphemistic "you", that includes ALL the writers, of ALL the stories, about ALL the broken promises, and yada yada yada.

    You lost this battle. There's only ONE way now. Let it fail on its own accord...

    BUT, and there's always a but... What I REALLY think you're afraid of, is that it'll WORK, and WORK REAL GOOD.

    You got stories of unhappy people that are affected in their wallets for the time being. I get that, but we got stories of real people whose chance at life is better.

    My position is to try and give more people a chance at a real life through HEALTH, and we can worry about the money later. Your tales of sticker shock, broken promises, and politics, pales greatly when a child with a brain tumor gets a chance at life.

    Was I not plain enough twice?

    I don't give a damn about any fight, I liked my insurance, I can't afford huge deductibles and premiums, I hate fewer choices but the emperor had to come along and screw that all up. Leave us the hell alone and mind your own business for a change instead of screwing life up for hard working responsible people. Got it?

    That's always been my bottom line argument, stop messing with my life. You guys used to always complain about government intrusion into our lives and this regime has been more intrusive than anyone, and unlike you I don't see any common sense in implementing bad programs and hoping for the best, that's just asinine.

    Remember, the name of this disaster is the "Affordable" Care Act and the emperor promised over and over not to worry, we would still have our insurance and doctors and cheaper care. That's BS and you know it. Even your neighbors know it.

    Why your health insurance premium could increase under the Affordable Care Act | KATU Investigators | KATU.com - Portland News, Sports, Traffic Weather and Breaking News - Portland, Oregon

    TIGARD, Ore. – Is the Affordable Health Care Act making health care unaffordable for some people?

    Some customers of Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, one of Oregon’s largest insurance providers, say that's exactly what's happening. They say they are finding their health care plans are dramatically changing under the Affordable Care Act.

    Policy holders are seeing almost double their monthly premiums,” said a KATU viewer named Larry in an email. He said his wife’s premium will increase by 0 under the Affordable Care Act.
    But don't believe me.

    Dude, you're a broken record. We all want people to have care, but why are you screwing it up for the rest of us? I admire the intent, but this is pathetic.

    All of you won't be screwed but many will have to make adjustments, but they benefit more than they harm.

    You over state the 'rest of us" and conflate it to "ALL of us" which is an inaccurate false assumption. What you regret is you have to pay more because the price of EVERY damn thing is going up, from toilet paper to health care, and that's reality.

    There are no instant results or quick fixes, just progress whether you see it, or feel it.

    Doubling someone's expenses is an "adjustment" like the Obamacare website disaster is a "glitch." How would you like it if I forced you to spend several hundred dollars a month more?

    I still don't know what this year will bring, but if it's like last year our deductibles will again double and the premiums will increase. We've already been feeling the effects of Obamacare for quite some time now, and the examples of sticker shock and broken promises continue to grow. I can't afford any more "affordable" health care.
