Tom Toles for April 06, 2014

But, but… who knows how many had their insurance cancelled & refused to get another policy because they felt it was more important to make a point than take care of themselves?

Everyone loves a winner. NOT! Of course, the Richthuglicons not only have their fingers stuck in their ears, they have their hands over their squeezed shut eyes as well. Now if they’d only just shove their fists into their mouths…

“a threat to the nation’s hearing”

I wonder if TT had in mind that the Supreme Court, having previously said that money is speech, has just decided that its unConstitutional to limit how loud an individual may shout.

The number does NOT include (a) the those 21 to 26 who are still covered on parents’ policies because of the ACA. The number does NOT include (b) those who bought insurance directly through insurance companies without going through the exchanges. The number does NOT include © those who gained coverage through medicaid expansion. The number does NOT deduct (d) those who had their policies cancelled as substandard. It would appear, however, that as figure (b) well exceeds figure (d), it is perfectly fair to let those two cancel each other out. This still leaves something between 13 and 26 million people who now have coverage because of the ACA. http://acasignups.net/graph

If you thought the ads were bad during the last election year just wait. They will probably have to cancel regular prime time programming so we can listen to all the propaganda.

Can you really believe ANYTHING that this administration says??

“Can you really believe ANYTHING that the G.O.P. says?”.Very little to almost nothing.

Their actions count more than their words.

It is amazing that so many middle class people continue to not only vote Republican but quote their propaganda directly from Faux news. You would think they would have gotten a clue with Faux assured them there would be a Romney landslide, or when they were told Obamacare was a disaster, or any of thirty other bits of information that turned out to be lies, but they don’t. I guess once they have made up their minds to believe Faux, reality doesn’t interfere with the decision.

So we are spending 2 Trillion dollars to insure about 1-2 million who didn’t have insurance already?Dem dare some Expensive Policies!

@cjr53“Can you really believe ANYTHING that this administration says??”.Yes.".Why would you believe ANYTHING from Obama that earned him “Lie of the Year” to get this boondoggle called Obamacare passed? Or lie about his meeting with the Pope? Obama is a snake oil salesman.

@TiggerOk, a clarification. Yes, I know he met the Pope. But he lied about the specifics of what they did when they met to the point to where the Pope made a rebuttal of Obama and told people what Obama said about their private meeting was a lie.

Why not 100 million?If you’re gonna fake your data, you might as well go all the way.

Whereas Republicans know that money is better spent on even more weapons the Pentagon didn’t ask for."—————————————————————————————————So why didn’t we just buy them a basic policy in the existing market place and spend 1/100th of what BarryCare costs?

No, and no.
