ObamaCare architect Emanuel on rate hikes: 'It's not a big increase' and you 'can shop much faster'

As you probably know, Ezekiel Emanuel served as a health care policy adviser during Obama's first term and was instrumental in the creation of ObamaCare. He's also the creepy gentleman who thinks 75 is the proper age to die. As Obama's "signature legislation" endures an easily-envisioned and oft-predicted implosion, Emanuel's been making the rounds playing defense. He wants to make sure you know a few things. 1. The massive rate hikes caused by the law are not that big. You're just imagining things. Sure, you can rattle off a list of states where the increases are anywhere from 20% to 100%, but you're really just nitpicking - probably because you're cheap and don't understand what a ridiculous value ObamaCare really is.
