This would be a distraction from Benghazi! (oh, where is that?)
This would be a distraction from IRS-gate (oh where is that?)
This would be a distraction from āArgle Bargle Yargleāā¦
Thanks Obama!

I know that group policies are different from individual policies, but our Blue Cross/Blue Shield policies here at my college either rose by about $6 or fell by the same about, depending on the planāthis, after several years with 4 or 5 different companies whose rate increases, when they didnāt jump so high that the college would feel compelled to drop them, would essentially consume whatever raises we might have had. The HR folks said they were āvery pleasantly surprisedā this time around.

Headline they donāt want you to see? GOP doesnāt want you see anything positive about Obamacare.

Iām waiting to see if NY approves my insurance companyās 16%+ increase request. They seem to pretty much rubber stamp increase requests. (IDK whether thatās because the insurance companiesā requests are always reasonable, or for some other reason).
Since the disastrous roll out (like TPM and MOST of the media kept saying for months after the rollout) things have gone very well for A.C.A aka Obamacare.
The fact that we have not been hearing much reporting on it by the general media and noise by Republicans means that it HAS been doing extremely well.
For the most part, the media donāt report on the good, it thrives on sensationalizing the bad.

I too have been awaiting the creation of the Death Panels in the hope of getting a cushy gubbamentā job on one of them. Just sittinā around all day eatinā my gubbamint cheeze, talkinā on my Obamaphone and sending vigorous, active, Medicare scooter-riding Teapartiers to the euthanasia camps. Itād be the life of Riley, Iām telling you. And yet, so far, they havenāt been set up, no doubt due to Obama exceeding his executive authority by ignoring the clear command of the law. John Boehner should sue him for it.

Does that remodel come with a nicely framed and signed portrait of Sister Sarah the Caribou Barbie of the North (for just an additional $19.95 plus shipping and handling)?
