At least this puts to an end the right-wing lie that Congress originally exempted themselves from the ACA.

At least this puts to an end the right-wing lie that Congress originally exempted themselves from the ACA.

And also the left-wing lie that this wasn't a complete piece of legislative bullshit that is bad for America.

So, what's your point? ObamaCare is a good policy because these people aren't quitting their jobs?

The point is that these people and many others are lined up for these jobs. If it is soooooo bad why is that? It is not because of crappy pay.
As for Obamacare, the vast majority of people who hate it, do so for one reason and one reason only. A black guy named Obama beat there guy for President. Same as for those who like it. The simple fact is that nobody on here or anywhere else really knows what will happen pertaining to it and this country until it is implemented. Those that hate it will manipulate the facts to their advantage and visa versa on the other side.

Wrong. A majority of Americans don't like Obamacare because they see its going to be colossal disaster.

Even one of the leading democrats who helped write the bill just this week called it a train wreck.

"Sen. Max Baucus: Health law heading for ‘train wreck’

A senior Democratic senator who helped write President Obama’s health care law stunned administration officials by saying openly he thinks it’s headed for a “train wreck.”

Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, delivered his tough-love assessment of efforts to implement the Affordable Care Act during a budget hearing that featured Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

SPECIAL COVERAGE: Health Care Reform
From the outset, the senator’s terse and pointed questions made it clear that he did not think her agency had done enough to implement key pillars of the law by 2014.

He also said he is “very concerned” by the lack of information among small business and accountants who are “throwing their hands” up over the law.

“I just see a huge train wreck coming down,” Mr. Baucus said Wednesday. “You and I have discussed this many times, and I don’t see any results yet.”

His comments turned heads because Republicans are typically the ones who openly criticize Mr. Obama’s signature domestic achievement........"

"Poll: Obamacare Support Nosedives To Tie Record Low

Support for Obamacare has hit the lowest level since the bill was passed, the latest Kaiser Health Tracking Poll shows.

Overall, just 35 percent have a favorable view of Obamacare while 40 percent have an unfavorable view, which ties an October 2011 poll for the lowest level ever.

Twenty-four percent have no opinion on the law which, according to Kaiser, continues a recent trend of Americans offering no opinion.

The Kaiser poll finds that, in the month of April, Americans are more divided than ever on their evaluations of the health law. Opinion remains deeply divided along partisan lines with 57 percent of Democrats favoring the law and 67 percent of Republicans opposing.

Half of the public (49 percent) say they do not have enough information to fully understand how Obamacare will impact their own family.

Sixty-five percent of Hispanics say they do not have enough information to understand the law compared with 48 percent of blacks and 45 percent of whites.

More than half of Americans (53 percent) support efforts to change or block the law, while only a third (33 percent) believe opponents should accept Obamacare as the law of the land, down from 40 percent since the beginning of the year."

Or commuting 60-80 miles each way for affordable housing either:
-west all the way to Front Royal or Winchester.
-or southwest to Culpepper.
-or south past Fredericksburg to King George, southern Spotsylvania County or Caroline County.

Most anything within 50+ miles is ridiculous. Didn't always use to be that way. (I grew up outside of Fredericksburg in Spotsylvania County).

Bullshit. Life is a hell of a lot cheaper up in Baltimore.

Yeah, that's because living in VA is a hell of a lot more desirable than in the socialist republic of MD. Instead of saying "Most anything within 50+ miles is ridiculous." I should have said "Most anything within 50+ miles in VA is ridiculous."

The mother of all government screw-ups is coming our way and I’ll be curious to see how the people that don’t have a clue that it’s coming will react when they see how bad this is

The best doctors in your area won’t be dealing with this and unless you have a great policy or cash you will be seeing someone else...good luck

Isn’t there a mid term election coming up next year?


Oh and Baucus said he wrote it but never read it.
