Obamacare is failing, fast. Large insurance companies are dropping out, citing incredible costs imposed by increased consumption, and co-ops meant to provide low cost insurance to poor Americans are collapsing. The situation is bad, and Americans who were forced into this program by John Roberts disastrous Supreme Court ruling may lose or see massive increases in the pirce of their health insurance. Congress wants to know how bad it is. There's just one problem. The administration won't let them:
Federal health officials refuse to give Congress hundreds of subpoenaed documents on Obamacare’s failed co-ops so that people will continue enrolling in the deeply troubled program, a congressional leader said Tuesday.
Twelve of the 23 co-ops created in 2011 under Obamacare at a cost of $2.4 billion have failed, and another eight of the remaining 11 are likely to go under this year. But the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) won’t hand over documents subpoenaed months ago by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz who chairs the House oversight committee, thinks HHS officials are purposely keeping potential co-op customers in the dark as long as possible.
This is the disaster nearly everyone on the right predicted. Obamacare expanded coverage, without making any real commitments to cutting costs or introducing competition into healthcare markets that would drive prices down. It is absolutely imperative that in this new era of government managed healthcare, we get to the bottom of how bad the situation is, so we can go about fixing it by finding a workable alternative; but Barack Obama wants to make that impossible. By blocking this release, Obama is trying to have it both ways. He wants to make government responsible for the health care needs of millions of Americans, but he doesn't want that agency to be subject to the sort of accountability standards necessary for it to function properly. The cost of admitting that his so called "signature achievement" is a total failure built on faulty ground is too much for him to bear, and so the American people must suffer.

I'm contacting United Health Care to see if my insurance has been affected by their dropping out of Obama Care.Probably not,but a shock wave typically has consequences that influence everything around it.
Premiums to be drastically increased also.
Justice Roberts approved on condition everyone was treated equally in paying a "tax" but stated a "fine" for not buying insurance is illegal. They are all calling it a"fine" for not showing proof of insurance or buying into Obamacare. So it's illegal.
Obama care will bring the entire country down, Republicans should have killed it when they had the chance.
The kenyan muslims work here is almost done.
But if you are an illegal or a Muslim you get free Gov Healthcare. Remember, Muslims are exempt from the law.
