Wait...I thought the purpose of the Affordable Care Act was to redirect healthcare speding on the consumer, not to put more hands in the insurance companies pockets.

Premiums go up, benefits go down. Gotta be a great business to be in!

Ha ha ha and Palin, Bachmann and et al said that Obamacare was a "government takeover of healthcare." They sure pulled the wool over the eyes of the gullible. It was all a ruse to deflect attention away from what was really going to happen; a Wall Street takeover of health care.

I'm glad someone is benefiting. It sure won't be patients.

40Million newly insured poor people will get healthcare paid for by US Taxpayers thanks to ObamaCare. The profits got to the insurance companies and the costs go to the Tax Payers. Do you really think the lobbyists for the insurance companies didn't see the potential profits coming when they wrote this bill for the US Senate and US House?

You got what you wanted and you're still not happy? Covering more members equates to more profit for insurance companies and administrators. Let the crushing costs of ACA commence...

Betting Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken are speechless. Smart people told them all Obamacare would do is drive up costs, make insurance companies more profitable, stop young men & women from wanting to become doctors, make the elderly stand in lines waiting for some doctor to finally agree to treat medicare patients at a loss, and of course what we all knew this would do; ration all care to everybody to be "fair".

Obamacare is a liberal boondoggle. It's not a shock that intelligent businesses are able to stay ahead of the game and make a profit. Maybe the annointed one should have inclusive in the design of this sham rather than shoving down our throats.
