Canard #1: It wasn't designed to work. (never mind because of AHA we are seeing premiums coming down).
That explains why Individual Market Premiums are going up by 88% in Ohio...
Democrats continue to try to dismiss the evidence that Obamacare will dramatically increase the cost of insurance for people who buy it on their own. But on Thursday, the Ohio Department of Insurance announced that, based on the rates submitted by insurers to date, the average individual-market health insurance premium in 2014 will come in around $420, representing an increase of 88 percent relative to 2013. We have warned of these increases, said Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor in a statement. Consumers will have fewer choices and pay much higher premiums for their health insurance starting in 2014.

Canard #2: It was about seizing power: (the only power seized was one where Insurers rightly had to change the way they denied or kicked people off coverage.)
Instead of a doctor determining treatment for Americans it will be done by the Obamacare Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. Along with the health secretary, it will determine whether or not a treatment is cost effective in extending life for the elderly, disabled, or terminally ill.
The Research Institute purposes are described as a way to carry out comparative clinical effectiveness research that is defined as evaluating and comparing health outcomes and clinical effectiveness-- risks and benefits of two or more medical treatment or services. Obamacare originally allotted $1.1 billion for the Research Institute and now allows for about $3.8 billion in additional funding.

Got news for you JoyJuice, some treatments are more effective for some people than others, it's why doctors and patients should be making the decisions not some partisan quack that isn't even a doctor whom sits in Washington DC.
Canard #3: If it had been designed to actually work, they wouldn't have had to pull all those shenanigans to get it rammed through. (Never mind the goal from day one the GOP was going to obstruct every piece of legislation of Obama.)
No, they pulled the shannigans because Scott Brown got elected in a special election instead of another Democrat otherwise Obamacare would never have been able to have been signed by Obama.
The faults with Obamacare is 100% the responsibility of Obama and the Democrat Party, it is extremely dishonest to try to pin the blame on Republicans.
Canard #4: hey also would have READ THE BILL (never mind the gist of the bill has been read seeing it has been around ever since 2003 and constantly tweaked up until it passed)
If you refer to the disaster known as Romneycare, that only worked because it had been getting Federal funding; that's even a laughable association.
Romneycare wasn't even remotely near 200 pages long, let alone over 2000 pages...
Seriously JoyJuice, stop drinking the koolaid.
