SChris Muthard Sell out

Ron McLaney I love my Obamacare. It works for us and is very affordable.

Stewart James Come on LeBron,, stop being a tool for this disgraceful law that you will never have to worry about

Tara Hughes Tomeo Can rich people stop telling everyone how affordable this is?
Jason McClannen Tell us how affordable it is, but not a chance in hell would they consider it themselves.


Selected Comments:

Rosie Sharar My premiums starting Jan 1 went up 62% from last yr.

Bryan Hager My premium has doubled over the past four years. Thank God I was not dropped by my insurer since I’ve been undergoing chemo, surgery and now high dose chemo/stem cell transplants for cancer since August 2013.

Mary Flanagan I have heard of no one who can afford it. Obama is trying to encourage the young healthy adults to buy it and they can’t afford it. What really upsets me is that he and is staff and the rest of the politicians can opt out of it. Now how is that fair or right???
