Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Barack Obama: We Have to Solve This Problem of High Healthcare Premiums I Caused Under Obamacare After Vowing to Make Health Care Affordable ForeverThis will be a key Democrat demand for the next two -- or hundred -- years: Fix the healthcare scheme we promised you would fix healthcare forever. Take away healthcare from Republicans and give it to Democrats.In the final sprint to the midterm elections, former President Barack Obama has hit the campaign trail to stump for Democrat candidates. One of his favorite talking points? Health insurance premiums, he says, are too high. Apparently, he doesn't see the irony. "We've got to make sure that nobody has to worry about high healthcare premiums," Obama declared at a rally in Georgia recently. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's virtually word-for-word the same line Obama was feeding to audiences during his first campaign for president in 2008.

Not that I give a shit, but Obamacare premiums spiking and Republicans not wiling to subsidize more of it was a "cost of living" issue.
When I see though how cheap some peoples healthcare is, it warms my black heart seeing them pay more. Posted by: Leupold at November 04, 2026 04:34 PM (bnAvt) 10
Hubby and I were in the first wave of people impacted by Obamacare. Our premiums doubled, and our health insurance got worse.
I'd hate to tell people what we pay now. At least we have decent health insurance, but our premiums are more than most monthly mortgages. Obamacare sucks. Posted by: Ann at November 04, 2026 04:35 PM (SHHm+) 11

I took a social risk and explained to my sister-in-law how ObamaCare would affect people like me and asked her to consider not voting for Obama over that and her views on abortion that she agreed were compatible with the R platform.
Of course, she went ahead and voted for Obama because she's a good and smart person. As soon as her kids were responsible for their own health insurance, she was complaining, asking how they could be expected to afford to insure themselves. She did this in front of me, a person who lost my insurance and had my work hours cut due to ObamaCare, just like I had warned her. People like that have no sense of cause and effect.

O-care was probably redundant but anyway conclusive in demonstrating the overall collapse of common sense and historical American values generally.
A healthcare financial system that was a ridiculous disaster, a coral reef of stupidity that had grown up over decades (from innocent beginnings), was "fixed" by massively increasing its main problems: govt. misregulation and oligopoly. But it nicely provided conclusive (and redundant) death certificates on seemingly unrelated institutions like SCOTUS too. Posted by: rhomboid at November 04, 2026 04:48 PM (U/Byj) 72

People who are against universal healthcare, how do you justify putting health care out of reach for some people?
This isn't hard. Canadas healthcare is superior to ours. They dont have to wait longer than us. Their medical treatments dont get denied. Their people are not crippled by medical debts. The same idiots who are stomping mad at the thought of "paying for someone else's health care" refuse to accept and believe the fact that the reason it costs their insurance $5k for them to get 5 stitches in the ER is so hospitals can offset the costs of all the uninsured who get treated and never pay. The Trump administration is literally currently in charge of health care. He loves the for profit system. His policies is why it's exploding in cost. Those same people also salivate at the idea of having Medicare once they retire.. and yet don't consider THAT socialized healthcare We could increase our taxes by like 1/10th of what most people pay for their deductible and premium each month and have full universal healthcare for everyone in the US.

As I've said other times, when I took early retirement I paid for my own health insurance at considerable cost. That came out of my moderate pension. Obamacare caused my health insurance to increase by $2000 per year. Obama ran around saying that Obamacare was going to make health insurance rates go down. Obama lied.

Well, unpersoning a person certainly sucks.
It doesn't suck less because they happen to be a Holocaust skeptic, as long as we're bringing up how much unpersoning sucks. https:// www.unz.com / article/ the- economically -ignorant - mob - smears - hoppe - due - to - vital -holocaust - skepticism / "Anyone who really considers himself a Libertarian, or a proud defender of 'Western Civilization' and freedom of speech, and does so from a moral perspective, whether they'd be Objectivists like Yaron Brook, or believers in 'Natural Rights' or 'God-given rights', should be appalled and in a constant state of moral indignation towards Holocaust denial laws which make criminals out of anyone who disagrees with a coerced-monopolistic-competition-immune government narrative. Consider the following. German-born Chemist Germar Rudolf spent over 3.5 years in jail for writing a chemistry report whose conclusions doubted the mainstream mass-gassings narrative."

Posted by: Ann at November 04, 2026 04:32 PM (SHHm+) Yup. Everything in the perennial Democrat plans, and everything they accomplish legislatively or by executive decree, from city to Fed governments, has one goal. Increasing the number of troops in the Free Shit Army. Middle class bleeding hearts who vote for Democrats to give the downtrodden ever increasing health care subsidies, are voting for higher taxes and more expensive health care insurance and costs - for themselves. Even higher middle class taxes, health care costs, and fewer available doctor appointment slots, will result if the Dems are able to re-open the border. But good luck trying to tell that to any middle class person voting for Democrats. Posted by: Gref at November 04, 2026 05:02 PM (5rh/l) 126

Five people are at the ER this afternoon
1. Darneesha Jones has brought her two children Quantuavious and Markbavious. They don't feel good but she doesn't know why. She actually called the ambulance because it's a free ride for her. 2. White Trash Willy Wickers is brought in with a fentynal overdose. It is his third this year. Two paramedics responded to his trailer park and hauled him into the ER at taxpayer expense. 3. Jorge Mendoza fell off a ladder at his under the table roofing job. He actually has cash, but if he pretends not to speak English the billing people don't even bother trying to track him down. 4. Lilith Morningstar (birth name Robert Jones) is having complications from gender transition surgery. Apparently "her" "vagina" is suppurating. 5. William Smith brought his son Cooper in from a camping trip. Cooper fell out of a tree. He has a simple greenstick fracture. William Smith is a VP at Bank of America.

When the Affordable Care Act (ACA/Obamacare) marketplaces first launched in 2014, about 8 million people selected plans during the initial open enrollment period, growing to 11.7 million by 2015.
As of 2026, roughly 23.1 million people are enrolled in ACA marketplace qualified health plans (down slightly from a peak of 24.3 million in 2025 following the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies). When including those covered through the ACA's Medicaid expansion, total enrollment has reached over 45 million people. So many new citizens! Or could it be an awful lot of emergency room visits or maybe visits to traveling medical vans? 🤔 See the theater (i.e., California's related Primary Election propositions) that pretends they're really prepared to tax all the billionaires and comfortably cover their state's healthcare costs (expanded medical coverage).

My idea of the healthcare in the UK is twofold. 1) Compare MRI/CT scan numbers in Canada and the UK to the USA for, say, a brain tumor. You will be shocked and that's the delay. 2) The thought may well be for these countries, "If the dying patients wait long enough for treatment,welp, they are going to die anyway." I could be wrong, but I rarely am. Have read for years of Canadians crossing the border to pay out of pocket for US healthcare. Even, I assume, when Obungocare was held as the gold standard.

I wonder how much of the madness in Obamacare premiums and deductibles is due to the requirement that older people cannot be charged more than 3X the premium of a 21-year old.

Has anyone mentioned this yet? I blame Thune for a lot of the carnage this election. He refused to pass the SAVE Act, and many other laws, telling voters he's not there to listen to them but to his friends across the aisle. Are we surprised that the voters chose those across the aisle?

130 Canada still has super long wait times for any healthcare. I saw that dental surgery is 4 months for instance. Can you imagine going through that pain that long?
Posted by: Guy Mohawk at November 04, 2026 05:04 PM (n5tGW) Try telling any American woman, especially those with kids, that they'll have to wait more than a day to see a family doctor or a dentist, and more than a week to see any specialist. I hope you aren't too badly injured. Medicare for All or any other socialized medicine can only be passed into law in the US by politicians and medical associations telling gross lies about wait times for medical care. 24-Hour Medical Care outfits didn't start-up and stay in business because Americans are happy to wait many hours or days to get medical care, and are willing to wait for hours and hours in hospital Emergency Rooms filled with illegals and bums.

AI Overview -
While Republican outside groups dominated the airwaves, James Talarico’s campaign itself dramatically out-fundpaced Ken Paxton in direct campaign fundraising, pulling in $145 million directly from individual donors compared to Paxton's $22 million. Notable liberal megadonors heavily supplemented the effort. Billionaire George Soros donated roughly $100 million to political action committees (PACs) supporting Democratic candidates nationally, while high-profile figures like LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman personally contributed $11.5 million into the specific super PAC backing Talarico. Nationwide, Republican-aligned outside groups outspent Democratic-aligned outside groups by nearly $400 million. In Texas, the gap was driven primarily by Elon Musk, who poured over $150 million to $212 million into PACs exclusively dedicated to defending Paxton's side. Ref.

I see that some are comparing this to 2008, saying it was even worse. Wrong.
In 2008, Democrats still cared about a strong America. Now, they hate a strong America. They care more about the 3rd world they have imported to cause destruction to those that built it. You own your home?? You have savings and investments you worked a lifetime to aggregate? Now, YOU are the problem. And YOU are the target. Because the Democrat party that formerly believed in the American experience no longer does. They care about how much wealth they can strip and mine from those that worked to make it. They care about people that desecrate American ideals and now want to TAKE, not EARN their share. That is the new game. Except it isn't a game, it's reality. And traditional Americans and their beliefs are the targets. The 3rd world makes or builds NOTHING. They only take, take, take, like locusts, leaving fields barren when they move on. We are going to watch the destruction happen in real time. In America. Led by the Democrat party and their new Islamic and Communist factions.
