#1 But the inflation rate, according to the recent Social Security hike, is near zero.

But not too worry, most of the users' increases will be covered by subsidies.

Paid from the money tree.

#2 Heard on the radio this morning, an 'expert' saying people get in when they're sick and get out when they're well, and that ain't gonna work.

#3 All according to leftist theory and social engineering. See Cloward Piven. The only difference in the original strategy is they want to turn most of us into an underclass with only a few elites ruling.

#4 More than 70% of people will pay less than $75 a month after tax credits.

That's so I can pay $200 per month - per person - plus another $200 per person my employer pays.

I'm feeling Taxed Enough Already. Oh, but wait! The $200 is before taxes, so I don't have to pay tax on the medical insurance premiums!

I feel like a hog at the federal trough. Not.

#5 Mine goes up a tad under 50%.

Joked with the wife, gonna have to cancel our insurance so we can pay for the increase.

Not even a smile. In fact, she's pissed. Should have seen her face when her morning news was goo goo over the marketplace opening.

#6 More than 70% of people will pay less than $75 a month after tax credits.

Hey, Bargain City! But wait, the deductible is $5,000. That means I need to spend almost $6K before the free money starts flowing. Bargain my ass! But birth control is free, right?

#8 Mine went up by about 33%. And my income definitely hasn't.

#9 Thing is, I had not even a minor illness/injury and I am in the income where I am supposed to receive benefits.

Oh, and this is a policy I have after the policy I had and liked was cancelled.

The wings are going to come off and this will crash into shark infested mountains, and all we get from the Barry Hill Show is how potentially dangerous sharks are.

#10 Something like $700b has been taken from Medicare to finance Obamacare. Even with this infusion of money, Obamacare is still a disaster. Moreover, now there are some doctors who won't accept Medicare patients. These politicians would screw up a good wet dream as the saying goes.

#11 Almost like it was planned...
