That doesn't make any sense - because Obamacare is NOT failing. It does, however, need some tuning and tweaking.
 
Shitforhair is on a mission to reverse anything that has Obama's stamp on it, and doesn't give two shits who it crushes or how bad they get crushed.


the son of a bitch will get his in 2020 when voters throw his sorry ass out of the WH back into Putin's loving arms.
 
Keep stealing from Fannie and Freddie to fund this disastrous monstrosity of pork filled legislation, eh??? Keep sticking it to the middle class so ne'er-do-wells and illegals can suck off of our teat? I'll pass.......

Obama is the one who didn't care who he crushed or how bad they got crushed. That's why we elected Trump, to repeal the whole stinking pile of crap.

This is not fail?

1- If you like your Dr, well.... you know the rest
2- Average American family will save $2400/yr

Obamacare failed because it flunked Economics 101 and Human Nature 101. It straitjacketed insurers into providing overly expensive, soup-to-nuts policies. It wasn't flexible enough so that people could buy as much coverage as they wanted and could afford — not what the government dictated. Many healthy people primarily want catastrophic coverage. Obamacare couldn't lure them in, couldn't persuade them to buy on the chance they'd get sick.

Obamacare failed because the penalties for going uncovered are too low when stacked against its skyrocketing premium costs. Next year, the penalty for staying uninsured is $695 per adult, or perhaps 2.5 percent of a family's taxable household income. That's far less than many Americans would pay for coverage. Financial incentive: Skip Obamacare.

Obamacare failed because insurance is based on risk pools — that is, the lucky subsidize the unlucky. The unlucky who have big health problems (and big medical bills) reap much greater benefits than those who remain healthy and out of the doctors' office. But Obamacare's rules hamstring insurers. They can't exclude people for pre-existing conditions, and can't charge older customers more than three times as much as the young. Those are good goals, but they skew the market in ways Obamacare didn't figure out how to offset. Result: Young and healthy consumers pay far more in premiums than their claims (probably) would justify in order to subsidize the unexpectedly large influx of older, sicker customers who require expensive care. Too many unlucky people, too few lucky people: That will collapse any insurance scheme.

Obamacare failed because it allowed Americans to sign up after they got sick and needed help paying all those medical bills. Insurance should be structured so that, although you don't know if you'll need it, you pay for it anyway, just in case; your alternative is financial doom. But if you can game the system and, for example, buy auto coverage after you crash into your garage, then you have no incentive to buy insurance beforehand.


Obamacare failed because it hasn't tamed U.S. medical costs. Health care is about supply and demand: People who get coverage use it, especially if the law mandates free preventive care. Iron law of economics: Nothing is free; someone pays. To pretend otherwise was folly. Those forces combined to spike the costs of care, and thus insurance costs.

Obamacare failed because too many carriers simply can't cover expenses, let alone turn a profit, in this rigidly controlled system. Take Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, the state's dominant Obamacare insurer. Last year, for every dollar the carrier collected, it spent $1.32 buying care and providing services for customers, according to BCBS President Maurice Smith. No wonder BCBS is proposing rate increases from 23 percent to 45 percent for its individual plans.

LOL! Uh, he's sabotaging it to get rid of it because it was nearing implosion before he even took office!

Let me guess: You get all of your news from MSNBC and Democracy Now. Am I close?
 
Obamacare has been so popular...Dem's were obliterated in the 2010 election for passing it over the objections of the American people. Obama lied his ass off about Obamacare in 2012 and when his lies became known and millions lost their doctor, plan, and didn't save $2,500 a year on health insurance Dem's were again obliterated in the 2014 election. Then in 2016 on the promise of getting rid of Obamacare the American people elected Trump.

Dem's lost the House, the Senate, the White House and nearly 1,000 seats nationally all for Obamacare, was it worth it?
