Congratulations, House Republicans!

To each his own. You enjoy lying. I don't.

Of course, if you actually look at WHY people dislike Obamacare, in the polls that actually ask that, about a quarter have consistently said it's because it doesn't go far enough. Call that 13% of the populace. Subtract that from the 53%, and you get 40%. Add that to the 38% approving, because they sure as hell aren't gonna agree with you nutballs, and you get 51% on Obama's side, versus 40% anti-Obama on healthcare. A far more accurate reading of the question. Because, as usual, the right wing only looks at headlines and ignores the actuality.

You mean the reality that the ACA isn't even in full effect yet? When the rest of the law kicks in, that Obama has delayed, there is going to be more pain for the regular person. How much more is my insurance going to go up? It has already gone up more than 50% last year. This coming year it is going to climb even higher.

I mean the reality that people look at the health plans every other developed country has, and there are a variety of them, and every one of them costs about half what the pre-Obamacare US system does per person, and delivers better health care, as proven by research done in study after study for the last fifty years, and they want Obamacare to do MORE. No, Baldimo, 12 million people got affordable health care, and you still don't seem to have taken any steps to actually find out why your health care provider or your employer raised it far, far more than everybody else did. If you found out a car dealer was going to charge you five grand more for the same car everybody else was charging less, you'd go to another dealer. Maybe it's time to cut your health care provider loose, if they do that to you, not so?

Obama changed the laws, not my employer or their insurance company. The ACA is at fault for my insurance going up. Sorry you can't accept this. But fact is a fact. You like Bob want me to go to an ACA plan to fix an issue that the ACA created.

If your health insurance premium went up, it only proves you now have better coverage. THAT'S A FACT.

and you know this how, baldimo? considering that you don't seem to have asked anybody to explain why.

re baldimo:
California's premiums went down under Obamacare. And MA, which has had Romnehycare for eight years now, the close model for Obamacare, has lagged the nation in increasing healthcare costs ever since, so like ci I have to suspect you had a really substandard plan before, baldimo. Maybe you were satisfied with it. The more fool you, if you'd ever needed it.

Keep looking for an excuse that doesn't include the ACA. That is all you got to go by. The ACA is great, it couldn't possibly have had an effect on people like this. It's a govt program so everyone must love it and no one can speak out against it. When they do we will lie and point to their evil employer and insurance company. Even though they are only following the rules as they have been laid out by Obama and the Democrats. The same law that Obama has changed on his own and delayed to take effect until after the 2016 Presidential election. Tell me did he get any approvals from Congress before enacting any of these delays? Follow the law you say?

The ACA is a farce and you know it. 12 million? How many of those people didn't have insurance prior to the ACA? I think the # you are looking for is about 4 million. Everyone else already had coverage or they moved to govt supplied insurance. You can't even give proper #'s. It's all a lie.

This link explains it in a nutshell; limits on coverage.

Look who is talking. Of course watching network news you wouldn't know. You seem to be content with the lies they peddle.

And a 29 approval rating.

Worth repeating!

Think a higher minimum wage is a job killer? Think again: The states that raised their minimum wages on January 1 have seen higher employment growth since then than the states that kept theirs at the same rate.

The minimum wage went up in 13 states — Arizona, Connecticut, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington — either thanks to automatic increases in line with inflation or new legislation, as Ben Wolcott reports in his analysis at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. The average change in employment for those states over the first five months of the year as compared with the last five of 2013 is .99 percent, while the average for all remaining states is .68 percent.

Digging deeper, all but one of those states are experiencing increases in employment, and nine of them have seen growth above the median rate.

Wolcott’s analysis builds on a previous one from Goldman Sachs, which did the same evaluation for just January and compares it to December of last year. It found that the states that had minimum wage increases experienced faster job growth than those without a raise.

This doesn’t mean that increasing the minimum wage necessarily creates more jobs. “While this kind of simple exercise can’t establish causality, it does provide evidence against theoretical negative employment effects of minimum-wage increases,” Wolcott writes. Indeed, it adds to the evidence that higher minimum wages may not hurt job growth as much as some have warned. Washington has the highest minimum wage and saw the biggest increase in small business jobs last year. Its job growth has also remained steady and above average in the 15 years since it raised its wage. When economists studied state-level minimum wage increases over two decades they didn’t find any conclusive evidence that the raises impacted job creation.

That’s all good news for the ten states that have increased their minimum wages this year. Massachusetts went the furthest, raising its wage to $11 by 2017, but three — Hawaii, Maryland, and Connecticut — passed the $10.10 minimum wage being pushed at the federal level by Democrats and Vermont increased its wage to $10.50. And some cities have gone even further, with Seattle enacting a $15 minimum wage.

Progress in raising the entire country’s minimum wage has stalled, though.
Republicans blocked a bill that would have increased it to $10.10 an hour.

The explanation for His Rotundity's state (NJ) is that the cost of living index was passed this year

No time for it to have effect.

Yeah mookie, He's only got 51%. You've got the majority 49%, right! Your numbers are fucked, but your brain is even more so.

Don't try to confuse ColdDope with facts---It has become apparent that Doperino won't handle the truth.

Personally I don't think Dope is capable of counting past zero.

Rap

Based on the chart, blacks are actually doing better under Obama. The difference in unemployment between blacks and whites has gone down. It seems some people make up what they want to believe.
Unemployment for blacks goes down under Clinton, goes up under Bush and goes down under Obama.

Let's look at the numbers.
Under Clinton black unemployment goes from 13% to 8.5%.
Under Bush it goes from 8.5% to 15%.
Under Obama, it goes from 15% to 13% and is trending down.

And you accuse me of lying, Pinkie? Reality has a tendency to hit you in the ass.
