I can't wait for 2016 this sets up a battle over whose health care plan will replace Obamacare. I am betting the Democratic plan is going to be more attractive than repeal Obamacare.

We just had that battle in 2012. How many tens of thousands of times did Mitt Romney and the Republicans who ran for the House and Senate pledge to repeal Obamacare?
So what happened 2012?
* Obama won a landslide
* The Dems added 2 seats to their Senate majority
* While the GOP held the House through their gerrymandering advantage, the Dems picked up 8 seats and actually received 1.4 million more votes than the GOP did.
Needless to say, I too look forward to Obamacare remaining an election issue.
But he probably would have lost, if his lie over keeping your health plan was exposed, including his admin's own estimate that 60% of people would lose their health plans.
Or if the voters were aware that his justice dept spying on reporters that disagree with him, that the IRS was delaying the tax applications of conservative non-profit organizations and that the NSA recording US citizens phone calls!

We all know that a claim from hoops without a link is almost always untruthful. His 60% figure is actually 3%, and his off-topic claims are also false. Oh well.
But you know that woman on CBS who is upset about losing her $54 per month "health insurance." According to Consumer Reports:
"She's paying $650 a year to be uninsured."
If she needed $120,000 breast cancer surgery and treatment, with her present "insurance" she'd have $119,000 in unpaid bills. With ObamaCare, it would max out at $6,300 no matter what.
Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC News that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent. And all say that many of those forced to buy pricier new policies will experience “sticker shock.”
Correction for Chilcoot- you keep stating that your daddy Obama won election in a "landslide". You are a liar. By definition, a landslide is actually a Presidential election where the winner has accumulated 58% or more of the popular vote. Obama received 51% of the popular vote in the last election. Quit lying and stop calling the last presidential election result a "landslide".

So did Republican Senator Enzi. In 2010! And anyone else who was paying attention in 2010 knew it too. It was in the HHS estimates. In 2010!
Junk insurance is now illegal. Insurance, that according to Consumer Reports would pay only $1,000 toward $120,000 surgery, is illegal. And that's a good thing.

And what happened to "death panels" anyway?" Hey forkush- I have a question for you- Do you ever shut up? Nobody cares for your incessant blathering - all of which will never change the facts that Obama and his administration are a complete lie and utter failure. Do everyone here a favor and shut up.
obama repeatedly said in his 2012 campaign the if you like your insurance you can keep it mantra; knowing full well it was a lie. Anybody who said otherwise were dismissed.
Apparently what he should have said is that if you like your insurance & I approve of it you can keep it. But that would not have given him many votes.
