Well, Well, Well ... Who'da Thunk It?

What a surprise.

Top Officials With Failed Obamacare Co-Ops Made an Average of $245,000

Before 11 of the 23 nonprofit insurers created under Obamacare announced they would be closing their doors, the top executives running their operations raked in large sums of money.

[snip] The Affordable Care Act placed a $500,000 salary cap on co-op employees, and executives running the nonprofit insurers earned a high of $490,125—paid to Jerry Burgess, chief executive of Consumers’ Choice Health Insurance Cooperative in South Carolina—and a low of $46,524—paid to Joanne Hill of Colorado HealthOP in Colorado.

Whaaat? Government officials making huge salaries, and tax-funded agencies misbehaving, while the taxpayers get screwed over?

Who'd have ever guessed?

I Hate to Say We Told You So

but we told you so.

Several thousand Alaskans who buy insurance on the individual market under the Affordable Care Act will see their premiums increase in 2016 at one of the highest rates in the country. The state already has the highest premiums in the nation.

Now they'll find out how much "free" really costs.

"Obamacare is Not a Train Wreck"

The GOP needs to stop calling ObamaCare a "trainwreck.” That means it’s a mistake, or accident. That means it’s a gigantic flop, or failure. It’s NOT.

This is a brilliant, cynical, and purposeful attempt to damage the U.S. economy, kill jobs, and bring down capitalism. It’s not a failure, it’s Obama’s grand success. It’s not a “train wreck.”

ObamaCare is a suicide attack.

He wants to hurt us, to bring us to our knees, to capitulate- so we agree under duress to accept big government. Obama’s hero and mentor was Saul Alinsky -- a radical Marxist intent on destroying capitalism. Alinsky’s stated advice was to call the other guy “a terrorist” to hide your own intentions. To scream that the other guy is “ruining America,” while you are the one actually plotting the destruction of America. To claim again and again…in every sentence of every speech…that you are “saving the middle class,” while you are busy wiping out the middle class.
