My problem with listening to Limbaugh, is that he continually attacks the Democrats - not just their policies, but them, unnecessarily.
I admit some Democrats seem to be so far removed from reality that they become icons for inanity: Nancy Pelosi is one of them.
Or they're terrible hypocrites like Dianne Feinstein, who keeps pushing gun control bill after gun control bill - all the while having a concealed gun permit, and a handgun she keeps with her. Dianne has been around several violent crimes (Milk assassination, Jones' cult in Guyanna when she went to investigate it, her home was burglarized, etc.). But she acts like she's the ONLY person who was ever the victim of a violent crime! When she was in S.F. politics, you couldn't get a CCW permit in S.F., because of her.
But we need to try to stay focused on the issues and policies, not the human failings of our politicians (as people).
Why do you think there's been a backlash against Obamacare? HINT: It's not because the rates are too cheap!
No, I didn't catch the researchers name, but that kind of info is coming out more, as people try to sign up at the ACA exchanges in their state.
So far, less than 1% of those who go to the websites, actually enroll in Obamacare, at any level, according to the British papers.
Washington Post (Not a Conservative paper), had this:

Read this balanced article, with analysis by Actuaries, and you'll know the good, and the bad news about rates under Obamacare. Some groups will do well - older, poorer, sicker, but healthier, younger, or those with a larger family, will do much worse.

ACA doesn't allow a family to be insured as a group anymore. They have to rate each individual, and then add them all up to get the family's premium rate.
