Somebody's lobbyist worked hard for those exceptions. They should have mandated both catastrophic and preventative.

We can be sure that rightwingers will do everything they can to subvert and ruin any and all aspects of Obamacare, and we'll hear about it through sources like real clear politics.

I would rather get my news from a site that doesn't expect its writers to write like asshole forum trolls. Christ, who can even finish reading such an article, who isn't already completely onboard with its hateful premise?

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

The Wall Street Journal is a troll site??? That may be what liberal gnomes believe, but normal people consider it a respected and honest source for economic news.

Um? When did RCP become the Wall Street Journal? The source you posted says Michael Barone is a political analyst for the Washington Examiner and a contributer to Fox News. WTH, Jongs?

RCP quotes the WSJ or the authors of the WSJ piece in about 3 or 4 paragraphs. Jong's implication is that ALL the rest is from WSJ. It would be interesting to get the WSJ piece and compare the 2 word for word, but I'm too lazy for that.

It's heart warming to see the sudden concern of RCP, the WSJ and right wingers in general to suddenly care about low-skilled (and probably low-paid) workers. Couldn't possibly be just blind opposition to anything Obama wants to do. Of course not...

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Well, to be truthful why not just write "low skilled workers get raw deal under corporations". Because, yanno, the biggest problem that low-skilled workers have is NOT from the gubmint!

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Bing-go! But it does sicken me. The Republicans played such games around Obamacare, and Obama and the Dems caved at every turn, now we'll start finding out what they hid in it, and it will probably only get worse.

If our government WORKED, like if both parties had the good of the people and the country at heart...yeah, right. I realize Dems/Obama caved left and right because they thought it was better than nothing, and single payer didn't have a snowball's chance in hell, AND they're not like the right, willing to "stand for principle" and flush the baby with the bath water, but my hopes that Obamacare could be improved over time like SSI and Medicare are fast fading.

When one party makes it's sole, entire focus defeating a President and anything, ANYTHING he might agree with, the country and the people are who pay the price. And boy, is we payin'!

It would be amusing if it weren't so sick: In essence, the right was quite happy to go on having us bankrupted by health-insurance companies and let taxpayers foot the bill for the uninsured, so they fought tooth and nail and pretty much stripped Obamacare of all the good stuff it COULD have done, only to make the situation quite possibly WORSE in the end, without coming up with ANYTHING themselves--because, of course, they were quite happy to go on having us bankrupted by health-insurance companies and let taxpayers foot the bill for the uninsured!
