that article fails to describe how a family such as mine would get insured under Obamacare, with out abandoning all of my worldly possessions and becoming a ward of the state. Because there will be no way I will be able to pay all of my bills and fork out the $1800 a month that will be required(At the rate HI has been inflating post O'care).

Yes, HI rates started going up post Obama care. It increased HI rates so much, they increased retroactively.

The "study" is by a front group for the SEIU, which stands to make $$$$ from Obamacare. Read about their illegal tactics to take over Kaiser HMO representation in California, and you'll reconsider whether their "study" is worth quoting. They have been producing fake statistics for Obamacare since the start, including the cost shifting myth.
A real study would look at how much $ is wasted on mandatory insurance and consider how that $ could be spent on things that save lives, e.g. healthier food, safer cars, checking the house for radon, etc. Such a study would almost certainly conclude that diverting $ into insurance causes many premature deaths each year.

Let the court kill RomneyCare 2.0.
The excitement begin when we find out what happens to private health ins. premiums.

healthcare should never be an option. It's not Darwinism in motion, it's inflated prices and many people who aren't able to afford coverage.
We should be long past the era that a tiny infection could kill someone, but we're not.

OH Goody a Chart!
Hey listen I don't need a disconnected graphic presented by some Liberal covering the ass of the president and his band of criminal thugs in the senate holding guns to the American's heads demanding they buy insurance from the companies they went Long on after the legislation was passed.
I've been reviewing insurance policies for the last 15 years.
I couldn't justify them when they were around $500 to $700 a month, which I can damn well assure you they were for 2000 though 2008. They did NOT inflate at 20% per year like you lie.
Mover over, there was NO health crisis before Bill Clinton took a stab at it. When he was his hell bent rampage to fuck over the middle class, a private insurance policy was $35.00 a month. That's with out employer HC. Which also during that time, it was so cheap your employer paid 100% of premiums.

That seams to be a poor BS.
" 26,100 people aged 25 to 64 died for lack of health coverage in 2010"
People die for the lack of adequate health care, not for the lack of health coverage.
I wonder how many insured people died for inadequate health care in the same period?

Studies vary but usually report most deaths attributed to lack of healthcare, and most bankrupts who could not pay their medical bills, had insurance at the time of their illness or injury. BTW, the # killed by malpractice vastly exceeds the # killed by lack of access, so access is a double-edged sword too.
