Obama: Most people experiencing Obamacare benefits, 'even if they don’t know it'

Oh, we certainly know it, as we experience our deductibles, co-pays, prescriptions and especially our premiums, the whole kit and kaboodle, rising year after year, while the quality of coverage and care bottom out. Affordable? But as long as we're getting that 'free' preventative care. Fools, it's not free when your premiums rise to cover it!



In other words, you're too stupid to know what's good for you...and that's Big Government, according to this president.
FreeBeacon: President Obama said Tuesday that Americans who already have health insurance are “already experiencing most of the benefits of the Affordable Care Act, even if they don’t know it,” responding to a question about what Sen. Max Baucus (D., Mt.) has dubbed the “train wreck” of implementing Obamacare.

But there is still much unclear about how the law’s implementation will affect premiums and coverage for different types of Americans in the next year, including how the Internal Revenue Service will enforce parts of the law. CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Maryland’s largest health insurer, has proposed raising premiums on individual plans by 25 percent as part of the insurer’s compliance with the health law.

A number of major health insurers have also already warned brokers that premiums could increase sharply next year.
Fortunately, support for Obamacare is taking a nosedive, according to the latest poll, despite the ignorance of those who don't even know it's the law of the land. Unfortunately, the bureaucracy doesn't much care how it polls.
