Based on earlier conversations we've had here, a lot of lefties signed up for Obamacare - and every one of them had an awesome experience with the website, saved a ton of money, got a far better policy and are simply over the moon!
Now, if you believe all that...

Remains to be seen, I suppose.
I did not sign up for Obamacare, although in response to it my company doubled our insurance plan costs, but also began offering a high-deductible plan that costs less, but has a huge deductible, so it's basically a catastrophic injury/illness plan. I opted for that one...

same for us. a lot at my job didn't want no Obamacare, even some that were obvious Obama supporters. those just signed up anyway just to ride the party line. but they are not happy with it.
*makes you wonder if even across the nation his own supporters don't believe in it, although some join up anyway.

You forgot that trip to the "Big Rock Candy Mountain" with every sign up.

It's a reason for that too...both Political sides are in on the racket. the People will be the ones that suffer.

According to the White House only 8 mln people signed up for private health coverage. As far as soon we'll get our first taxation for not bying ACA 8mln is not enough. It's just 2.5% of people. And we have 8% unemployed!

WOW....sounds' like a trainwreck so far.....
*And I bet my house Obama won't use this as re-election fuel

Now the govt is using this as an argument for a good work of a system. But it's an absurd. cause 8 mln of people is not so much for a country with 320 mln inhabitants.
Especially in fact it's been almost a year since the program has started!

Weren't they supposed to get 50 million people signed up?

I guess not! As long as they already have the program in work!
It seems that they're just trying to say that there already are 8 million of those who love it the way it works. What a bu11sh!t!!

He's no doing any better for our country! Just making us feel guilty for making that choice!!

I thank God I didn't (so far) have to get into the exchange, I have great insurance through my employer (at least until I retire!). But I know several people that did have to purchase Obamacare. They are NOT happy. One friend of mine is still fighting with their insurance company over different issues. My daughters friend got a great policy that only cost her $31/month. She has a full time job, only making about $11/hour. She needs another car so decided to get a part time job evenings waiting tables. She only makes $2.76/hr plus tips. Because of this small pay part time job, she lost her subsidy and was told her premiums would be almost $250/month! Guess what, she no longer has insurance, she can't afford that.
Just because not much has been said lately about Obamacare, I'm sure it hasn't gone away. Obama is probably really happy about all the problems in the world right now, and in our own country (Ferguson?)...keeps everyones eye's off things like this.

Lucky you, you don't have to pay. And I hope your employer won't fire you to get rid of those enormous insurance payments!
I read that in few years we'll have to pay about $11.000 each or $24.000 per family. I don't know how we'll get those money!

Oh no, I do have to pay something. My husband & I work at the same place (I've been here 20 yrs now). So we're both on the same insurance. I pay $36.00/week..so about $1800/year. I looked into what we would get if we HAD TO get into Obamacare with our income (in the low middle class range) and I about choked! NONE of the plans in Obama are as good as we have, and to get something at least comparable coverage it would cost us over $700/month! Plus we only pay out $1000 /yr deductible, Obamacare would have been close to $10,000! WTH?? We would have no insurance if that had happened. No way we can afford that.
People that think they got such a great deal will be hit with reality one day. Hell, many of them will have their premiums adjusted by the end of the year once all the screw-ups with the subsidies are figured out!

Obama said "I have a pen and I have a phone, I don't need Congress", ...
*So he may just use an Executive Order and nix term limits this year just so everybody can accept it by 2016. and He'll effectively be President forever.

It's a kinda very silly answer for a person, being at the sharp edge. Cause people got so tired of him and his "decisions"!
