incompetence!

@RealCB108 We’ll go to direct patient care. Costs WAY

less and puts patient back in control of Patient-Dr relationship.

Laurie Guthrie Keep up the good fight. People need to know what a failure Obamacare is and **I** believe it’s

intentional.

Lane Atkins Imagine the Chaos when the employer mandates start in the next few years. I wish HHS would send

out one of their magic, law-changing tweets and repeal the whole thing.

Kathy Orsburn Earhart We didn’t lose our coverage, but we had premium increases of $139 a month. Now we pay

$1,281 a month for 2 adults and 3 kids. That’s a little over $15k a year, that’s crazy! Not even great coverage either!

Thanks Obama, it’s so much more affordable now (heavy sarcasm.)
