Update on the ACA (otherwise know as "Barack Hussein Obamacare")


According to the National Journal 4/18/14, although the Right Wing has predicted that the ACA would drive health insurance premiums up as much as 300%, the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts that the increase will be within historic levels at 7%.

"The long-awaited Rand Corp. study of Obamacare's effect on health insurance coverage was released Tuesday and confirmed the numbers that had been telegraphed for more than a week: At least 9.3 million more Americans have health insurance now than in September 2013, virtually all of them as a result of the law."

This 9.3 million greatly exceeds the estimates for this period of time. And this number would be exceedingly higher except that the Republican governors have refused to allow access to the ACA for approx. 5 million people.

And what do we here from the "liberal" media?  Crickets.  In fact the so-called liberal "Networks Snub Obama On Primetime Health Care Address"

 In rural Arkansas the 9th Street Ministries Free Medical Clinic is closing.  Started in 1996 volunteers meet once a month to provide free medical care to those most in need. They averaged around 300 patients a day. Now they are closing down thanks to Obamacare.  
It seems that they are no longer needed, yeah.
