David R. Craig On Health Insurance Exchange / Government Shutdown

Harford County Executive and Maryland candidate for Governor David Craig released the following statement today:

“The Affordable Care Act has become a flash point in Congressional negotiations to continue government operations and for good reason. The unpleasant surprise with this law is that it’s not really affordable at all. Maryland's least expensive Obamacare plan will be 83% higher than the lowest-cost plan sold in the state this year.

“People are struggling with the worst economic recovery in our lifetimes, have faced down record tax, fee and toll increases, and now they are forced to pay 83% higher insurance costs. This is a massive health care tax politicians are attempting to brand as something else, and they are forcing people to buy it."

The House and Senate should reopen the Government and just let Obamacare fail on it's own. And it will. The issue to all of us is how much will this failure cost us. Obama doesn't care about costs. That's why our debt has increased over 10 trillion bucks in 5 years.

Don't care what Craig or anyone says... they're all THUGS, CHEATS and SHILLS. Every single seat in the House and Senate should be vacated, and those currently holding a chair should lose their salaries, pensions, health care... everything. That's what would happen in the private sector... aka REAL WORLD.
