| President Obama´s health care law will push 7 million people out of their job-based insurance coverage — nearly twice the previous estimate, according to the latest estimates from the Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday. CBO said that this year´s tax cuts have changed the incentives for businesses and made it less attractive to pay for insurance, meaning fewer will decide to do so. Instead, they´ll choose to pay a penalty to the government, totaling $13 billion in higher fees over the next decade.

Comments:
I also liked the part where they said fewer people would pay the individual penalties because they recalculated the income levels. That translates to fewer people will have full time jobs under ObamaCare - so they won´t be penalized.

That´s ok. We can purchase our insurance from the state exchanges and only have to pay $20,000 for a family of four (source = IRS; note: this is the lowest tiered package opton).
We are screwed. The only option is to pay the penalty (or not) and go without health insurance.
This is why I call Obamacare "UNA" rather than ACA: the Unaffordable Non-Care Act.

All part of the plan. Employers dropping health insurance benetfits to save money, cutting back hours and number of workers to avoid having to pay for health insurance, forcing people who cannot otherwise afford it to have to get govt. regulated/subsidized policies through the govt. run exchanges.
Its all heading to single payer, that´s easy to see.

"If you like your current doctor, you can keep him."
"If you like your current health care plan, you can keep it."
How many times did we hear Obama say that?
So, instead of providing insurance to those who didn´t have it, ACA causes 7-million people to lose the insurance hey had.
CAN WE ALL AGREE THAT OBAMA IS A LIAR?
The hypocritical, sycophantic Leftwing Media should be hitting this hard 24x7, but of course they won´t.
Obama is a pathological liar. Absent a truth serum injection, I would not believe anything he says.

Here is my thought: What if the plan was supposed to be so high no one could afford it? What happens if people buy the plan and fall behind in payments? Can the government then take possession of your home as collateral?
Displaced people are easily controlled... Private property becomes thing of past, all cor the collective good.

I had the exact same thought, #6. We are now into the realm of where Property Taxes have allowed to reach, where if they are not paid, the Government seizes your property.
The presumption of final ownership is thus with the Government, not the property owner. This is the foundation of Socialism, not a Constitutional Republic.

7 million with employer paid health insurance will lose health insurance. Obama will replace those with 13 million taxpayer paid health insurance. People that pay their premiums and deductibles will not be able to afford them as their price includes those that don´t pay. People that work must adjust to half pay for them and their families, half their pay for those that don´t work and don´t pay.

The US government has blocked a Texas-based company from distributing details online of how to make a plastic gun using a 3-D printer. The ban, by the State Department citing international arms control law, comes just days after the world´s first such gun was successfully fired. Defense Distributed, the company that made the prototype, stated on Twitter that its project had "gone dark" at the instigation of the government.
The company is run by Cody Wilson, a 25-year-old University of Texas law student who has said the idea for freely distributing details about how to produce the guns online was inspired by 19th century anarchist writing. Wilson argues everyone should have access to guns.

Barry Diller, chairman of Newsweek parent company IAC, admitted Monday on Bloomberg that purchasing the embattled magazine was a mistake. “There are some magazines that have no competition essentially in their field, luxury magazines,” Diller said. “Advertisers must advertise in them. But for a news magazine … it was not possible to print it any longer. So we said we will offer a digital product. We have a very, very solid newsroom, and we’ll see. I don’t have great expectations. I wish I hadn’t bought Newsweek. it was a mistake.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama vowed Friday to fight with Planned Parenthood against what he said were efforts across the country to turn women´s health back to the 1950s. Obama´s comments were the first to be delivered by a sitting president before the abortion-rights group. He lauded the group´s nearly 100 years of service to women, providing cancer screenings, contraceptives and other health services.

But he’s considering a hiring freeze. The growing company, which handles property management, maintenance and real estate sales, could use the extra hands, Henderson says. But if he hires two more employees, he’ll reach the 50-employee threshold that requires small business owners to comply with President Barack Obama’s new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) concerning the Internal Revenue Service scandal Sunday (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: Moving on to the IRS problem at this moment, which is really sort of in its infancy. There will be lots more hearings coming up this week

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
