The glaring evidence that Obamacare is a catastrophic FAILURE continues to mount

That's funny.
 
Progressivism requires one to suspend all reality in favor of an ideology. Their entire ideology has been a spectacular failure world-wide and still they push for it. It has caused healthcare costs to skyrocket and caused the collapse of the middle-class:

Taxpayers are being squeezed financially in Obamacare’s tightening vice.

On one side, taxpayers already are funding Obamacare entitlements, notwithstanding President Barack Obama’s high-profile promise to spare middle-class Americans from new taxation. Liberals in Congress and elsewhere are seeking remedies, among them heavier taxpayer subsidies and bigger deficits, that will squeeze taxpayers even more.

On the other side, those whose income is too high to qualify for subsidies must pay for overly expensive Obamacare coverage without any assistance.

Now this is how it is done. The free market innovating solutions for profit - which ultimately leads to lower prices, more efficiency, and better results.

And there you have it. The AMA is a monopoly that keeps doctors in the money.

And the ACA provides similar security for the insurance companies.

Your federal government at work.....keeping the top 1% in place.
 
Before the health care law was implemented, Schriftman was paying $218 per month for coverage from Independence Blue Cross with a $5,000 deductible. In 1974, long before the Obamacare seed was planted, Schriftman recalled paying just $12 per month for his very first health insurance plan.

This year, though, Schriftman’s policy with Independence Blue Cross is costing him $784 per month with a $6,500 deductible.

It is sad that this has to happen.

It's also sad that the GOP has convinced people of "death panels", "losing freedom" and all the other hysterical nonsense that you sheep believe, that have actually made you think you hate a law that is a Republican idea.

So yeah, it's sad that a campaign needs to be waged to combat such blatant misinformation.

I keep hearing that the law is a Republican idea. If you make that claim, why do so many of you give credit to Obama for doing something you say he didn't come up with?
 
Progressives lack of understanding of basic economics and basic business is killing this nation. It's why we've had such high unemployment under Barack Obama, why we have 94 million people out of the labor force, and why we have $20 trillion in debt.
  • “You have to fund your development through your profits,” Womack said during my 2011 visit to Terre Haute. “And if you have no profits, you’re not building restaurants.”
  • Womack, a 30-year restaurant veteran, faced unique challenges in the industry, where profit margins ranged from 5% to 7%. Restaurants already produce the lowest revenue per employee, meaning there was a high labor cost associated with implementing the new law.
  • Womack said he was able to weather the recession. He remained hopeful Congress would make changes to the law or the 2012 election would usher in a president who would repeal it. When that didn’t happen, he simply wasn’t confident about the long-term prospects of running a casual-dining operation. IHOP, with servers and cooks, is a labor-intensive business. At the time he sold last year, Womack had 16 restaurants and more than 1,000 employees. “We felt that environment was not the place to be for the next 10 to 20 years,” he said.
  • Facing the prospect of Obamacare’s employer mandate on Jan. 1, 2015, Womack opted to sell his 16 IHOP restaurants last year to Romulus Restaurant Group.
  • Four years after testifying before Congress and urging Obamacare’s repeal, Womack remains alarmed at the law’s impact on his industry. He foresaw the challenges of offering attractive coverage in 2011 and is now facing that reality.
  • “Insurance rates are through the roof. Every year we get handed a 30% to 40% increase,” he said. “The only way we have to offset that is cutting our coverage way back. That’s happened every year since the law passed.”
So to recap - healthcare costs have gone through the roof (the exact opposite of what Obama and the Dumbocrats had promised), employees have lost their jobs due to costs, those that remained had hours cut back, and owners have had to close their doors or sell their businesses - all because progressives don't understand basic economics or how business operates. They actually (and laughably) thought that business owners would simply eat the cost of Obamacare regulations and the wealth redistribution they so desperately desired would magically happen as a result. Instead, people went from poor insurance and jobs to worse insurance and unemployment.

If Trump insists on keeping the pre-existing conditions ban, we'll get ACA regardless of what they call it.
