Wasn’t President Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) supposed to help Americans save money on healthcare? Well, it’s actually done quite the opposite, according to the latest data from Aon Hewitt. The chart below suggests that American workers are paying 130 percent more for their healthcare today than in 2005. In 2005, employees at mid-size companies were paying $2,001, but that number has soared to an average of $4,700.
Just another lie to add to the bucket under the incumbent president.

I wrote Senator Max Baucus (MT) one of the key architects of the ACA, before it passed. I told him it was a sellout to the insurance companies and the Medical Industry Complex.
I never got a response to my letter, maybe because I told him I would never vote for him again, if it passed. It is telling how he retired from the Senate and is now the Ambassador to China. He knew he could never overcome the negative ACA ads and win reelection in a small population state like Montana. He took the money and ran all the way to China. The ACA must be repealed, there is nothing affordable about it. if we want low income people to have healthcare, we can do that without screwing the middle class.
