		<description>&lt;p&gt;Do you honestly think &quot;clear numbers&quot; will make an impression?&lt;/p&gt;

Have they ever? Basically, you have two consecutive threads here where the obvious has been pointed out about Democratic lies told so they could sell their program, and what the documented truth actually is. So what was the response?

Just to point out again, the predictions in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2013/10/31/obama-officials-in-2010-93-million-americans-will-be-unable-to-keep-their-health-plans-under-obamacare/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Forbes article&lt;/a&gt; were from the Federal Register, and they were made in 2010 by the administration itself.</description>

		<description>Now you say &quot;wait and see&quot;?  The propaganda to harm this legislation in any way possible has gone on since long before the bill was signed.  The propaganda to defame the president will continue as well.  It will continue elsewhere and it will continue here.  And I doubt very much if your contribution will stop here, in spite of your statement.  Yes, let&#039;s &quot;wait and see&quot;.</description>

		<description>You guys have a way with the language that would make PT Barnum envious.  
  
These &quot;sacrificed&quot; people, if they take the opportunity to explore the new landscape, will find that some of them are changing to policies that cost the same or cost less.  Some of them will find that they qualify for subsidies that make the whining moot (or would if their story was told by an honest spokesperson).  *ALL* of them are getting better policies.</description>

		<description>The thread was about lower-middle and middle income people seeing their healthcare cost rise dramatically after Obamacare. The whole idea of the ACA was to get everyone insured and have someone else pay for it. 

The “3” million we’re talking about, the ones whose plans are no longer valid because of the ACA, the people you say should “sacrifice” are not the wealthy. These are the people which were supposed to see their costs go down. Many are turning to their only option- pay the mandate penalty.</description>

		<description>You were aware of conservatives&#039; reputation before I cited it, right? 
 
Do you think that ignoring the plight of the 14 million without healthcare while stressing over the 3 million who have to change their policies doesn&#039;t have an optical effect?  I think I stated the obvious, no?</description>
