Premium Increases: One of the central promises President Obama made during the presidential campaign was that he would “sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of [his] first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year.”
Health insurers
say they plan to raise premiums for some Americans as a direct result of the health overhaul in coming weeks, complicating Democrats’ efforts to trumpet their signature achievement before the midterm elections. Aetna Inc., some BlueCross BlueShield plans and other smaller carriers have asked for premium increases of between 1 percent and 9 percent to pay for extra benefits required under the law, according to filings with state regulators.

typical of Obama and his responses. Instead of confronting his opposition and dealing with the issues, he uses his teleprompter and attempts to shut everybody else up.
The administration’s response to insurers who announced they would be forced to hike premiums because of the health care bill? A threat from HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to keep their mouths shut or suffer financial consequences.
But wait, I thought Obama wasn't going to raise taxes on those earning less than $250k? Another lie:

The “Obama Tax Hike Exemption Card” debuts today. The front side of the card shows Obama’s oft-repeated campaign promise. The back of the card lists all the tax hikes Obama has enacted or proposed on families making less than $250,000 per year. They include a hike in cigarette taxes (about the only smoker in America who makes more than $250,000 is named Barack Obama), the individual health insurance mandate tax, the tanning tax, new taxes on HSAs and FSAs, a tax on prosthetics and other medical devices, a tax on tuition at special needs schools, and making it harder to deduct medical expenses on your tax return. Taxes which the Obama administration has floated but not yet been able to shove down the throats of an unwilling populace include a value-added tax (VAT), a new energy tax known as “cap and trade,” and a paternalistic tax on soda.
How many times does Breitbart have to show his untrustworthiness before you realize what he is?
I've trusted in him before. He exposes the truth.
Even if Nevadans will actually vote for Angle over Reid, why should that bother me?
Because it's one less lib in congress.
It's about time. Liberals never forgot about it.
Oh really? Where was social security mentioned in the constitution? Bailouts? Cash for Clunkers? Obamacare? libs never forgot the constitution? Wow...
Name a country where people are not motivated to work due to "socialist" policies.
Ever heard of France? They're not working today because they feel it's a "birthright" to only work until 60.

Is this chaos really what we want here in America?
Socialists believe in freedom, as well.
Actually, Karl Marx stated that it was a transition between Capitalism and Communism. Do Communists believe in freedom?
Anyone who paid attention to the last half of the 19th century knows that, for the vast majority, hard work offered no relief from poverty.
Andrew Carnagie was born rich? John D Rockefeller too? So Bill Gates was born as a billionaire?
Government spending winds up creating jobs with more efficiency than private wealth. If you really want more jobs, you'll support higher taxes.
Link?
The government is trying to sell it's share of the auto industry. Should it have let GM and Chysler close shop instead?
Yes.
And also, I've heard of banks trying to pay back their loans and the government not accepting them. They'd rather have power.
Many world economies thrive with much greatergovernment involvement in health care than Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act grants our government. We are a long way from being "taxed to death".
We cannot sustain the current rate of spending especially on healthcare and entitlements. We're going bankrupt.
Most of that power was given to Bush. All of a sudden, it's scary that Obama has it. Hmm....
We need to come back and remember the constitution. Normal people like Christine O'Donnell and Paul, and not these lifetime politicians are going to bring us back. Restoring our honor, as Beck is trying to do.
