Misinformed by the 85% Democrat Mainstream Media!
Case in point is Sp Times (Pravada West!) today's political cartoon.
Note there is NOT any political tag ..i.e. Democrat/GOP...
BUT HERE IS THE EXACT quote from the DEMOCRAT who wrote the Senate ACA BILL!
"I just see a huge train wreck coming down," Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., told Obama's health care chief during a routine budget hearing that suddenly turned tense.
Baucus is the first top Democrat to publicly voice fears about the rollout of the new health care law, designed to bring coverage to some 30 million uninsured Americans through a mix of government programs and tax credits for private insurance that start next year.
A Democratic colleague, West Virginia's Sen. Jay Rockefeller, described the massive Affordable Care Act as "beyond comprehension."
Henry Chao, the government's chief technical officer in charge of putting in place the insurance exchanges mandated by the law, was quoted in the Congressional Quarterly as saying "I'm pretty nervous . . . Let's just make sure it's not a third-world experience."
Max Baucus Says He Fears Obamacare Is Headed For 'Huge Train Wreck'
So who is getting BLAMED for ACA's failures by the BIASED MSM... that now DAILY sees :
15,000 UPS spouses not to be covered due to ACA!
For the employer, dropping coverage is a pretty decent deal: A company would see its health care costs reduced by over 40 percent. They don’t drop to zero, however, since the employer would still be on the hook for the fines that come along with not offering coverage.
But for the employee, it’s a pretty lousy deal. Lockton ran the numbers, using data on how much employers pay for health insurance now and how much health insurance on the exchanges is projected to cost.They found that employers foot a significantly larger chunk of the insurance bill than the federal government would, even with the new subsidies they’d receive. The firm predicts their premiums would increase anywhere from 79 to 125 percent if they lose employer coverage and have to go to the exchange. There’s such a big variation because exchange subsidies vary by income: Those who earn more are eligible for a larger subsidy.

Biased MSM like the above cartoonists ALL Blaming GOP! Blaming them for something THEY knew was so complicated so goldbergesque that Pelosi said you had to pass it before you knew what was in it!
And again... for what purpose less then 4 million people that really want and need coverage that could be covered very simply by taxing lawyers 10% and using the $27 billion to buy a $5,000 premium for each of the 4 million that wanted and needed and means tested!
Simple but this crappy ACA is so destructive!!
