“I firmly support the Affordable Care Act as a vital step in the right direction. I believe that the ACA has begun, and will continue, to significantly transform our health care landscape. For example, right here in New Jersey, the Affordable Care Act has closed the Medicare donut hole for 109,000 Medicare beneficiaries and will save middle class New Jerseyans more than $1,000 per year by 2019.” Sen Cory Booker
Ridgewood NJ, So with the “Obamacare fiasco ” getting worse by the minute has anyone bothered to ask our Senator in hiding Cory Booker about his thought on Obamacare ?
While he was keen to rattle off the the much touted “The United States spends more on health care than any other nation, but we fall far short of achieving the best health outcomes among our peers. The effects of paying more for less have been devastating for American families:” during the campaign one can hardly now say Obamacare will meet any of the original objectives and justifications for the law.
Even Governor Christie Called Obamacare a ‘Train Wreck,’ Glad NJ Has No Health Exchange ,“This is just an awful law that made no sense. I’m glad that the train wreck’s not mine, it’s his,” the governor said, referring to President Obama. “It’s a train wreck that anyone who has managed anything ever in their lives could have seen coming.”
CBS News reported the “more than two million Americans have been told they cannot renew their current insurance policies — more than triple the number of people said to be buying insurance under the new Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.”
Nearly 800,000 New Jersey residents’ health-care plans will not longer exist in 2014, forcing insurers to create new ones for individuals and small business owners that hew to the Obamacare’s new regulations, The New Jersey Star Ledger found in early October.
So where is Cory and why is NO ONE ASKING HIM ANY QUESTIONS ?
