Now that the Right has finally given up on repealing the Affordable Care Act, I guess it's time for out and out sabotage.
While opposition to the health care program is nothing new, the tactics are changing. Rather than focusing on repealing the law in Congress and the courts, two avenues that have failed so far, the groups are aiming to prevent the cornerstone of the legislation, the insurance exchanges, from succeeding. Their goal is to limit enrollments, drive up costs, and make it easier to roll back all or part of the law later.
It's a good thing they are being mature about it.

After the immaturity shown while ramming the law through, I think the holier than thou card is out of play....
Ah yes, the ramming the law through meme. How exactly was it "rammed" through. Facts only, please.
Got to pass it to know what's in it. The pinnacle of reflective, considered lawmaking.
So, as is typical of progressives, they played fast and loose with the facts.
But the data that Lee released tells a different story: Obamacare, in fact, will increase individual-market premiums in California by as much as 146 percent.
That is known as the other shoe dropping.
I'm certain it will all work out that the ACA is bad, regardless of reality, eh?
I find it endlessly amusing that they are doing backflips at Forbes now...almost as amusing as the continued mention of that Pelosi quote. It's a good thing that you guys don't engage in adolescent taunting or anything like that:)
But seriously, this continued jab is basically one, big fat lie. Here is the quote in context
You've heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don't know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention—it's about diet, not diabetes. It's going to be very, very exciting. But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.
Huh...doesn't really sound all that bad when you are honest about it.
Sounds like bullshit. Honestly.

Hmm, the more it gets implemented, the more awful it gets is reality. Waiver requests and even former supporters of this travesty are acknowledging this. Yet you continue in ignorance defending it...typical progtard. Reality isn't something you are acquainted with.
Actually, 6Kings, I'd like to see you guys try to be objective about it first. I don't think it's possible.
Well silly, you keep trying to attribute a coherent editorial viewpoint to Forbes via a bunch of bloggers on the Forbes site.
You just don't like it when inconvenient facts don't fit the progressive narrative. And why worry about what actually happens, PPACA was pass with loads of good intentions - that's all that matters anyway.
I'd like to see you guys try to be objective about it first.
I'm perfectly objective in observing that the rates presented were not accurately compared to current rates (for the same thing).
I have no illusions that the PPACA roll out is going to be perfect. In fact, there will likely be a few major snafus. But that's how anything worth doing should be. My issue is that the obsessive focus on these snafus to the ignorance of everything else is dishonesty due to feelings and emotions about Democrats and the government.

Your issue is that govt never does anything wrong when your party runs it and everything wrong when the other guys do.
It is simple enough to observe that even you should recognize that.
Admit it, juris, you're just a wrecker.
