30 seconds of listening to Romney = 3 blatant lies

first - "Obamacare will make you lose the insurance that you have now and are happy with" Truth is no-one I know is happy with their insurance

second - "Obamacare puts the fed gov in between you and your doctor" Truth is it helps REMOVE the insurance co's from between you and your doctor

third - f*ck if I can remember right now i'm too pissed off

Big Hair Lying Ass Tool!

Third: "Obamacare will blow up the deficit." Um, no, Mittens, the CBO says it will bring costs down.

They're saying that it is going to hurt the Dems more than they're anticipating because it's worded as a 'tax', and that if they can't get Obama out and repeal the ACA next year, that we're going to see a 12% to 15% pay cut to pay for all the additional taxes that are scheduled to support the ACA. Also saying they're really confused by Roberts since he's a smart man and knows who he's working for. He didn't make the right decision.

Time for my earphones to go on and the volume to get cranked!

If my business provided health insurance for my employees, I would have serious reservations about continueing to do so after ACA becomes fully implemented.. I would know that even if I discontinued providing health insurance, my employees would still get their insurance at the same rates or lower and with government assistance. It would be a tremendous boon for my business as health insurance costs have soared to a point where my viability is becoming questionable... I would suddenly be able to compete with foreign companies which have NEVER had this huge expense to deal with. On the bright side though I would be able to pay my employees a little more since such a huge expense had been lifted from my business...I think we are on a very slippery slope toward single payer health care..
