Jose Diaz-Balart, TELEMUNDO: The Affordable Care Act takes effect next month, The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows Americans oppose it, believing it will produce damaging results. Fifty-two percent believe the law will raise their health care costs. Is everybody wrong?
OBAMA: Yes, they are. The problem we have is that over the last four years billions of dollars have been spent misinforming people about what this law is about. All of the horror stories that were talked about have not come true. It is going to be a good deal and we expect that once it is fully implemented -- a year from now, two years from now, five years from now -- people will look back and, they'll be asking what was the argument about. Why is everybody fighting this so much?
Hey Barry! What planet are you on at this point in time? Everything predicted from the raising of healthcare costs to corporations and small businesses dropping coverage to the creation of a huge part-time work force (3/4 of all jobs created over the past year have been 29 hours or less) is already happening. You can use your bully pulpit to lie to the American people all you want but everyone but you and your blind sheeples realize your lying your ideological behind off.

That one was just priceless..... we're all too stupid to understand the wonderful thing that has been done in depriving us of our liberties.
I just have no clue how much better for me the $1200 a month insurance plan is than my old $1200 a year plan.

The house just voted to defund Obama-no-care.
The senate will send it back of course.

On Thursday, Home Depot became yet another company that announced it would shift part-time workers to the government-run healthcare exchanges. In addition, a company spokesperson conceded that full-time employees, though they will still get health benefits, would pay more due to an increase in costs next year.
Companies like Trader Joe's and Walgreens have made similar announcements before the Obamacare exchanges are set to open in October.
According to a company spokesperson, "Home Depot's change would affect roughly 20,000 part-time workers who previously had chosen the limited liability medical plan the company offered," which, as Reuters notes, companies can no longer offer after December 31 under Obamacare.
