    They are going to remember why that extra 300 dollars is leaving their bank account every month.

    Can you provide a link to proof that the average American will be paying an extra $300 per month?

    Our family's rate is going down. and we are even being granted a two month rate holiday. Our coverage is better, too.

    knowledge is your friend

    Sebelius, who turned 65 in May, is enrolled in Medicare is thus ineligible to enroll for insurance through the exchanges. Exchange plans “duplicate many benefits provided by Medicare, and it is illegal for insurance companies, agents and brokers to sell such polices to people known to have Medicare,”

    She never said she has Medicare when answering the question. Honesty is your friend

    A simple "thanks mark I was wrong" would have sufficed.

    HealthCare.gov suffers outage as Sebelius testifies that it's never crashed

    This whole thing is a big joke ... on the American people.

    I fully agree this rollout has been a disaster and that Obama was wrong to say that you could keep your insurance.

    What is lost in all this though is that the status quo prior to ACA was worse and was headed towards a disaster. The Republicans never offered a valid alternative, their solution was to keep all the popular stuff without addressing how costs could be contained and coverage expanded.

    ladies and gentlemen, the above is what the democrats have devolved into.

    when you cannot argue based on logic/reason, you resort to that.

    I disagree that its better. Instead of a complete overhaul, ACA could have fixed the major issues and let future legislation continue improving.

    And keep in mind this is ALL Obama. He forced it though on his own will. I couldn't imagine Bush jamming something like this through by himself.

    ACA .. is a mockery in itself. Everyones premiums are going up. Its not so affordable now. And we wonder why people are so anti government.

    Are you kidding me? Go read up on how the Republicans passed Medicare Part D. It makes the ACA passage look like child's play.

    Medicare Part D actually failed on the house floor. Hastert flat out refused to certify a valid vote so Tom Delay could armtwist Republicans and Moderate Democrats for 6 hours until 3AM. Oh and not to mention in the Senate, they actually passed a bipartisan version of part D that Ted Kennedy helped write. Then when the house and senate went to conference, they basically stripped everything that Kennedy wrote into the bill while simultaneously banning the Democratic Senate conferees to even participate in the conference committee.

    Dont even pretend that mean old Obama somehow bullied the Republicans into this when Republicans mastered this art in 2004.

    So Republicans do something bad and its ok for Democrats to push a turd through? This is partisan politics at its best.

    In the mean time, I would like to sign up for the centurion package.
