My friend Larry got a quote last year on insurance just on himself. It ran over $800 a month.
He just went to the national marketplace, and bought a plan for him and his family of four for $223.00 a month.
It took him 36 hours to get on the site, and another 12 to get to the marketplace.
Repubs, if you think the public doesn't want this...go back to your planet, because here, we seem to want it.
Want to know who you never hear the Repubs talking about? The folks in Massachusetts. They apparently love the insurance they have there designed by Mitt Romney. And hey Conservatives! Want to know one big difference? Romney's plan pays for an abortion and Obama's doesn't! Why isn't FOX news doing a story on that?
But still and all, folks, you have until the end of March. It all didn't have to happen in one day. I know everyone without insurance is eager to get it, but be patient. It will just take longer if the system keeps crashing.
Is Obamacare perfect? Probably not. Does it need tweaking? Probably. But have the Repubs introduced legislation to tweak the bill? No. To overturn? Over 40 times. The Jobs bill has not been voted on. Not once, by the way. Boehner won't let it on the floor.
Stand tough Mr. President. It's what this country elected you to do. Let the Tea Baggers take the Repubs on a "crash and burn." It's a darn shame though, but it's apparently how Boehner wants it.
