#1 He is the POS that folded and went against the Tea Party. He is getting what he deserves. If he would have stood his ground instead of being a woos he might not be in this position. But then the PACs will pick up his tab.

#2 That is what happens when you are a wuss and don't lead. NOTHING he has done right was not accomplished by railing on him to do the right thing. And he is the Speaker of the House. No leadership. None at all.

#4 That's what comes from legislation that is passed without reading. Of course, this turd (Obamacare) falls on Pelosi's plate. When this was passed, the Dems had control of the Presidency and both houses. Good thing to remember at the voting booth next time--payback time.

#5 The truth won't stop the media from blaming it on the Republicans JohnQC - or the sheeple from swallowing every word of it as gospel.
After all they pretty much successfully blamed the housing bubble on the republicans even when the democrats controlled both houses.

#6 As republican stock slowly and cautiously begins to rise, strange that Boehner and McConnell appear helpless to exploit the opportunity. Or perhaps, not so strange after all. :-(

#7 If this is really news to him, then he must be getting most of his news from WaPo, NYT and the like. Anyone who pays attention to any source which is not state run propaganda knew this was coming since before ObamaCare was even passed.

So, either he's lying, or he's an idiot and a tool. Probably both.

#8 I thought Congress was going to keep their pre-Obamacare, cream-of-the-crop plan?

#9 Hmm, for a crème de la crème health care plan, $433 a month with a $700 deductible is about what I was paying the last time I had health insurance provided by an employer.

$800 a month and a $2000 deductible? I can only imagine what some families in California, Massachusetts, and New York are going to be paying.

ObumbleCare is a massive Ponzi scheme. People who don't want or don't need health care are paying for a lot of mandated coverages to cover the losses on those who have illnesses covered by the mandates.

So if you are single, male, and in perfect health, the contraception, abortion, OB/Gyn, nursing home, pediatric, and geriatric premiums are going to pay for someone else's treatment.

The problem is the massive wealth transfer is not working. The money goes from the middle class to the poor and then to the wealthy oligarchy of physicians who seem to want to bleed this country dry.

#10 Exchange deductibles for a family plan are 3x that. I think all DC employee benefits should be means tested above the US median income. Sound fair?

#11 Take it from the natives, mister boner. Cheaper to see a horse doctor. Since doctors are retiring in droves, horse doctors will default as the smarter bunch.
