Well, many people have already received letters notifying them of the increase of insurance costs. Many businesses are preparing as well. This is a fluid matter. People don't sit still when something of this magnitude is coming their way.
The ACA doesn't really start taking effect until 2014.
where is your evidence that something that has done nothing to this point, is already a disaster?
Well, we already know there is no tax
What poverty? Why do you think this will happen? It will certainly not happen.
Again, anyone that thinks his terms of "negotiation" were any kind of terms of negotiation has not graduated past the 2nd grade.
He is a man child and in the court of public opinion, this has sent his chances for the presidency down the shitter.
What statement was actually made?
The government shutdown COST us money. Do you idiot Republicans not realize this?
Obamacare has little to do with your premiums going up in the short term. They were GOING to go up anyways. We won't begin to see real savings until the pool starts growing and more people sign up for health insurance.
The only way to reduce our HC expenditures is to subsidize the costs across a larger group of people.

If you are actually for fiscal conservatism you would never ever advocate for such a thing. The right way to enact change in this country is to convince people of the power of your ideas and win elections to elect your representatives into Congress. Then get a Republican president onboard that will sign these ideas into laws. This process has worked well for us since our inception and it is the hallmark of our democracy.
You think that you can subvert all of this by threatening to blow up the world's economy? Think again you fucking morons.
lol. Be sure to keep us all updated on how that works out for you. The guy is a laughingstock.
I am not in Texas (thank someone's god) so I don't know about recall, but if someone can find a way to permanently remove his ability to speak I would gladly donate to get the procedure performed.
Why is that stance not logical?
Trying to save the people from an outragous tax is not logical?
Trying to save the middle class from being driven into poverty is not logical?
Damn I lold hard.Well I'm sure as hell not voting for that idiot.
Everything was going fine until dickless over here shutdown the government.
If he wanted to make a statement...fine. If he actually thought he had a chance of accomplishing anything beyond that...then he's incredibly stupid and should not be thanked.
I think his aim was to move to the front of his party. He holds the threat of primarying from the right.
I dont know about you but my premiums went up this month.
Then there are a lot of people who are facing outragous premiums.
Then there are people who are looking at paying a fee because they can not afford health insurance.
This affordable health care act is going to be terrible for people who live paycheck-to-paycheck.
well, there is no ACA right now so your premiums went up "magically," as they always have every year before.
Not sure why you want to blame the ACA, when it isn't doing anything right now.
I'm hearing of these large increases and they are being blamed on Obamacare. I'm not sure, but it seems as some policies are being renewed they're being changed to adopt to Obamacare requirements even though it may not technically be in force for a couple of months.

Ted is gonna be the next President of the USA. The Dems can ignore him as we conservatives have ignored what's his name.
BTW, I agree about a well regulated Militia but the last time the Supremes looked at the 2nd Amendment, two years ago, they didn't agree and think it is more about the right to bear arms.
Leading a divisive and reckless wing of the Republican party, this man shut down the government for 2 weeks and he ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING. In other words, he jeopardized the economy, people's jobs, and the credit of the United States, all in order to lead a Quixotic and self-serving charge on a health care law that never could have succeeded in the first place.
Is this truly the type of person that Americans deserve as a lawmaker? Should his actions be rewarded or punished, what do you guys think?
Update: Mr. Cruz's hometown paper now regrets it's endorsement of him http://www.chron.com/opinion/editor...y-Bailey-Hutchison-4898405.php?cmpid=opedhprr
Wow, even his own hometown paper hates him.
Yes, it's a tantrum. Because unless you are his constituent it has nothing to do with you.
