Jon Stewart opened Tuesday night’s Daily Show with a blistering takedown of President Obama for being incredibly “dishonest” about Obamacare, as well as the “motherf*ckers” on Fox News for lying and exaggerating about the law too.

BUT the Insurance Companies are dropping the people. It isn't ACA that is forcing health plans to choose to drop people.

And we all know that corporations whimsically drop money making strategies for no reason all the time.

...is that this is their plan. Heritage Foundation, private insurance mandate, let the good times roll for the insurance companies plan that they came up with as a counter to Clinton's healthcare proposals back in the 90s.

And what they wanted, the greatest gift any corporation or industry in history could ever dream of, is a MANDATE. In the entire history of our nation nothing that ridiculous and outrageous has ever happened before. The right NOT to do business with a private company is kind of basic. Or it was.

But of course they would object. They want that mandate, that can stay, but they want more taxpayer sugar sprinkled on top, and they want the other stuff eliminated.

And by the way, the same convoluted bullshit "logic" used to justify the insurance mandate can be used to justify anything. You don't like guns? Too fucking bad, thanks to the "Right of the People Act" you have to buy one, every month, for the rest of your fucking life. If you don't you'll pay a very large fine. But don't worry, there's a taxpayer funded subsidy to the firearms company to help you buy your guns if you are poor. Sound insane? Not any more.

If you like your insurance you probably can make arrangements to keep it, just not at the same price.

However, he said nothing about your insurance no longer liking you.
