So, the Obamacare PPACA looks like it may make you fill out all the personal information BEFORE you can see the insurance rates. That tells me they don't want you to see the rates because they are so high. If 50 million people are uninsured today, mainly because insurance is too expensive, why is

Obanmcare was supposed to be Obama's signature legislation. He had plenty of time to get this right, but it's obvious Obama knows nothing about running a business or coding a program. He got Obamacare passed in the middle of the night, before anyone had even read it - not a single Repub voted for

Whine, whine, whine. I wish that damn US health care package would hurry up and get up and running 'cause then maybe we won't have to listen to all the fear mongering and complaining. Maybe if you stop calling it Obamacare you will start opening your mind a little and becoming more objective.
