RANDY…REALITY CHECK IS being disingenuous (lying). I have a lot of knowledge and experience with what goes on in Canada. Their ‘middle class’ is a ‘much stronger’ middle class than ours BECAUSE OF their health care system.

Obamacare ALREADY IS causing premiums to soar. “In California, Aetna is proposing rate increases of as much as 22 percent, Anthem Blue Cross 26 percent and Blue Shield of California 20 percent for some of those policy holders, according to the insurers’ filings with the state for 2013. These rate requests are all the more striking after a 39 percent rise sought by Anthem Blue Cross in 2010 helped give impetus to the law, known as the Affordable Care Act, which was passed the same year and will not be fully in effect until 2014. In other states, like Florida and Ohio, insurers have been able to raise rates by at least 20 percent for some policy holders. The rate increases can amount to several hundred dollars a month.”

B-K KnightRider | January 6, 2013, 5:31 pm —- Insurance rates rise in direct relation to health care costs. Seeing as Obamacare is insurance regulations, health care costs will continue to rise. ANYONE who truly believes Obamacare is going to lower health insurance premiums is either on drugs or stupid. But don’t take it from me, let’s watch over the next 18 months and see what happens.

If Obama is going to keep demanding a limitless credit card, there won’t be anything to negotiate about! The answer is NO, Mr. President! No more limitless borrowing and spending!

Obama is acting more like a power grabbing dictator everyday! Its time for the GOP House to draw that line in the sand!

Cabela’s is now itemizing the 2.3% Obamacare tax on their receipts. I think all businesses should point that out in their itemized receipts so people can see the increase in the costs of goods and services they purchase.

That’s your opinion. That’s not what the study concluded.

Let’s be clear then – the study did NOT find 15% of bankrupt Canadian seniors went bankrupt due to cost of medical coverage. Did it?

The bankruptcy was primarily caused by sickness not allowing them to work and thus depletion of their savings, not lack of medical coverage.

That’s a lie.

It’s not a lie at all. People reported “medical reasons” when they lost their employment due to medical reasons, not simply losing a job due to loss of employment. This loss of work due to “medical reasons” depleted their savings, not lack of medical coverage.

That’s a lie.

Medical problems is the number two cause of bankruptcy among Canadians aged 55-65, the group with the greatest propensity to declare bankruptcy. In the study done on behalf of the Canadian government, medical reasons came in ahead of “loss of employment” and “insufficient income” and behind only “overextension of credit”.
