‘I Had Nothing to Do With That!’ Obama Dodges Blame For Skyrocketing Premiums
President Barack Obama offers multiple excuses for why health insurance premiums continue to skyrocket, including blaming Republicans and insurance companies for the problems.
He complains that too many reporters spend more time discussing premium increases than explaining why he isn’t responsible for them.
“No, I had nothing to do with that,” Obama said, calling it “complicated” despite the “hysteria” that was growing.
Obama traveled to Florida to argue that Obamacare was working well, but needed to be fixed.
During his speech, he pointed out that when smart phone companies released a product that had bugs in it, they fixed it.

Obama Rammed his farcical Obamacare, NAMED AFTER HIM – DOWN OUR THROATS. What? Is he trying to be ‘Rapist Bill’ Clintonesque by being for it before he is against it? Thank You for destroying affordable health care for millions of Americans on your ‘forty million children without health insurance’ lie. Now – just how many more children are without health insurance and health care after you labored diligently to put 94 million American citizens out of work so foreigners, both legal, AND ILLEGAL, AND TROJAN HORSE TERRORISTS could come here and get free health care while millions more Americans had it taken away!!! Obama, as a liar – you stink – and as a President you stink even worse that that! AMERICA DESERVES BETTER and not an Obama Surrogate, and perpetrator of MANY illegal fund raising felonies! WE NEED TRUMP TO FIX THIS!

His “Signature Legislation” is a bust? (notice it’s no longer “Obamacare” even to him) Can that be? He had to just blame generic “Republicans” and “insurance companies” because HIS regulations are costing people an arm and a leg for less than they got before. (but not his people…the “47%” who are getting it free anyway) He should be campaigning for Trump so that Trump would be blamed for the massive rise in health care costs next year. (Hillary will blame Bush, the Russians, or Wall Street as that is their go to moves.)

Rather than Obama taking a “don’t blame me” tour he should have put his energy into fixing what is likely to be his legacy.
The problem with Obamacare is that it is based on flawed assumptions which don’t work in the real world. He failed to fix the problems with his namesake program and within a few months Obamacare will become the problem of a new administration. The new president will have no incentive to waste time on his legacy. They will be more interested in their own.
Obamacare, and Obama by extension, will be seen as the failure it is. The replacement will bear the name and be the legacy of the next president.

Obama”s program passed by every democrat, a couple of them had to be given some goodies to go along with a program that was built on lies and that came from one of the key players in this mess. Lies have come back to hurt not only the President and the democrats but the people who are stuck with this lying program. Every democrat that voted for it should be voted out of office. This program was a mess from the beginning and the costs for it will never come out if Hillary becomes President. Obama hates her but he hates the republicans more so he is backing her so the republicans do not get the office to bring out the corruption of his administration. It is through is whole administration and even takes in federal employees.

I guess he didn’t read the email dumps either. The Clinton cabal even said it was designed to fail and she has always wanted Single payer.
Scumbags just think we are ignorant fools and don’t understand they are a bunch of manipulative liars.

Not unlike all the rest of the folks BO “identifies with” nothing is EVER his fault! Must be the KKK at work! Or Skinheads!
And I got a good belly laugh when BO said that Trump’s refusal to essentially “Be a good loser” aftre the last debate threatened the very underpinnings of America…as if BO hasn’t violated his oath to support and defend the Constitution at EVERY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY during the past 8 sorrowful years…since black folk can’t POSSIBLY be expected to obey laws passed by old white folks! After all, robbing, raping, murder, pedophilia & zoophilia are all legal in Africa!
Loser McCain made me laugh even harder when he went on about how, in this country, no matter who wins the election, we all fall in line and acknowledge that “he’s OUR President.” harhar!! McCain didn’t exactly acknowledge the Trump was HIS GOP NOMINEE.

And you know what’s sad, Karll? About half of the country can’t smell the s#$t he’s shoveling!
The Obama, his balls on their chin, media has done an excellent job of not allowing all the crap that’s taking us into the swamp attach itself to the little thug! The useful idiots take it as gospel, chapter and verse.
Of course 46% of the country do not pay taxes with many of them receiving some type of government entitlement/assistance.

Next you will tell us that no insurer you have dione business with has every issued a policy change without cancelling your policy?
When you have made that foolish statement, you will come back and say that the federal government regulates insurance.
Then you will tell us you learned the sewer langiage from your momma.

You are an idiot. Many of us (anybody with a calculator and a 9th grade education) pointed out at the time of it’s passage that it was not actuarially sound. It was a bill of goods from the beginning, was exposed by many as such from the beginning, and has been accepted by idiots of your ilk from the beginning.
It will collapse of it’s own weight next year unless 10s of billions of tax payer dollars are dumped into it. The only way that happens is if Hildabeast is elected and has the House and Senate…not likely.

Is “actuarially” you spelling word for the week?
May I suggest you read “Actuarial Soundness” pubilished by the American Academy of Actuaries Actuarial Soundness Task Force in May 2012?

May I suggest you pull your head out of your arse? Your ad hoc group spent who knows how much money and time to come up with the same definition for “actuarially sound” that I learned at Stanford circa 1971

Obama! The russians did it! Blame it on them! Why do you continue to keep lying to Americans! Even bill clinton says, obama care was a diaster, craziest thing he’d ever seen, yet hillary hillary continues to lie about it like you do! Obama care is a diaster! Plain and simple! It does not work!
