I am also struggling with links on the board today. I cant seem to find the one Don Diego used to back up this claim.
Holy-Moly does poor old DonDiego have to do everything?
DonDiego suggests pjstroh just Google things like :"Obamacare Premiums", or "Obamacare Hospitals", or as DonDiego just did: "Obamacare Limits Choice."
And this popped up, . . . The Wall Street Journal.
From which:
"The reason this furor will continue even if the website is fixed is that the public is learning that ObamaCare's insurance costs more in return for worse coverage.
Mr. Obama and his liberal allies call the old plans "substandard," but he doesn't mean from the perspective of the consumers who bought them. He means people were free to choose insurance that wasn't designed to serve his social equity and income redistribution goals. In his view, many people must pay first-class fares for coach seats so others can pay less and receive extra benefits."
DonDiego fully expects pjstroh to suggest the Wall Street Journal is not a legitimate source for such information. When pjstroh does so, . . . poor old DonDiego will shit a brick; this is not as entertaining as it reads online.
