“I don’t think, in health policy history, we’ve [ever] seen as big a projected increase in health insurance premiums.”

As the federal government enters the ninth day of its shutdown, soaring health care costs, the crux of the shutdown fight, are looking increasingly likely.

Brace for the largest-ever spike in health insurance premiums

As far as I'm concerned, that RED LINE was crossed during his first campaign when he made fun of the handicapped journalist...that was enough to send him packing by the American people- GOP and DEMS.

Argentina also has a massive German contingent from WW2, including a crazy strong and active Nazi faction. Go figure. That was the planned launching point by the Nazis to invade the USA. I guess they've succeeded.
