If ObamaCare was the program the Democrats cooked up to fix health care in this country....why is health care your reported #1 issue just six or seven years later? Is it possible they didn't read it before passing it? Have you even stopped to think that it's the Dems who are running on fixing it? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's time to expand it. Many of the red states refused to accept the help out of spite. Still more work needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words they screwed it all up royally so they could swoop in and fix the mess they made! Just like student loans and the housing bubble. Please....we’re begging you....stop trying to help us!

3rdnlng Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Before Obama became president he said that single payer was going to take something like 20-25 years to get done. That we couldn't do it all at once, it had to be incremental. The camel has his nose under the tent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made the cost of insurance skyrocket for many , all to give “ coverage” to those who were receiving care anyway. Way too much money spent to accomplish very little, a classic Democratic program.

No, it didn't make costs increase, those were increasing anyway, more elderly, more new and expensive medicines, treatments and procedures. 30 million covered, Good Job Obama!

B-Man Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Obamacare At 10: A Big F-ing Failure Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board Original Article Ten years ago this month, when President Obama Barack was signing Obamacare into law, Vice President Joe Biden said to him in a stage whisper “This is a big f***ing deal.” A decade later, Obamacare has turned out to be a big f***ing failure. And Biden is now promising to expand it. Remember “you can keep your plan”? Or “family premiums will go down by $2,500”? How about the claim that Obamacare would cut the number of uninsured in half? That it would dramatically reduce the federal deficit? And that it would make the health care industry more efficient? None of it came true. The very name of the law – The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – was an exercise in false advertising. Affordable? Premiums in the individual market doubled in Obamacare’s first four years. The result was that millions of middle-class families found themselves priced out of the insurance market altogether. Patient protection? Those who could afford the premiums faced enormous deductibles for HMO-style plans that strictly limited which doctors they could see and hospitals they could use – unless they wanted to pay the entire costs out of pocket. Those who get insurance through work didn’t see any savings, either. Where Obama promised that families would see premiums drop by $2,500, they went up faster in the five years after Obamacare than in the five years before . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
