Some people complain that the cost of healthcare is going up. Um, yes. It goes up EVERY year. Always has, always will.

Obamacare has been opposed by the majority of the country since the day it came out.
Yes, the people who are getting their healthcare for free or heavily subsidized (all at the EXPENSE of people like me who pay for my own) are for it.
I understand that you are one of those people. You don't really pay for your Obamacare so it's all good.
But for the working people who DO pay for their own health insurance 100% with no govt. subsidy (welfare)...our insurance premiums have exploded.
No, my health insurance premiums didn't go up the way they have with ObamaCare.
I have the same policy with BCBS since 2002.
For my family of FOUR it was $498 a month in 2002. That is a $3,000 deductible per year for all of us and then insurance covers everything 100%.
In 2009 over 7 years it had risen to $525 a month for the four of us.
Now 8 years later with Obamacare...my NEW premium for 2017 is $1,539 a month for THREE of us (one of my daughters has grown up and got married and no longer on the policy).
Rochard, you are wearing blinders if you don't realize the INSANITY of paying over $1,500 a month for fucking health insurance.
That's probably way more money than you pay for your mortgage payment (if you own your house).
Totally out of control and a nightmare for our society.
Yes, you and the rest of the "47%" LOVE getting shit for "free". But it's not so cool to those of us paying for your health insurance at the expense of money that we could be spending on our own families.
You should think about what others are having to sacrifice for you to have health insurance.
