After 10 years the verdict is in: Obamacare is a massive failure on all levels.

Anyone else notice how the single digit IQ Dimsocialists showed up in this thread guns blazing about Trump, and ignoring the subject altogether?

Interesting.

!0 years of whining about it has been a mixed bag for the opposition. The biggest failure is the duplicity on the Republican side. On the one hand praising the good parts and saying they're all for keeping those, while trying to snuff it out in every way possible.

Obamacare At 10: A Big F-ing Failure

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. (Premiums for employer-provided family coverage climbed 27% from 2010 to 2015, compared with 26% from 2005 to 2010, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.)

Overhead costs now claim a bigger share of national health spending than they did before Obamacare – going from 6.7% in 2010 to 8.4% in 2018, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The electronic health records that Obama mandated have made health care less efficient, caused new types of medical errors, and have produced waves of doctor burnout.

Here’s another way to gauge the failure of Obamacare:

Back in March 2010, the Congressional Budget Office – which is supposed to be nonpartisan but in fact employs liberal economic models in everything it does – predicted what health care would look like in the first 10 years of Obamacare.


The CBO claimed there would be 24 million people getting insurance through the Obamacare exchanges by now. The actual number: 9 million.

It predicted that 51 million would be on Medicaid after Obamacare expanded eligibility – and that was assuming that every state adopted the expansion plan. Today, there are 69 million on Medicaid. That’s 35% more than the CBO projected, even though more than a dozen states refused to expand the program.

The CBO said that the number of uninsured would have dropped to 23 million, representing just 8% of the population. This year, 32 million people – or 11% of the population lack insurance.

Meanwhile, Obamacare’s subsidy costs are far higher than promised. Instead of an average of $6,000 for those getting Obamacare subsidies in the exchanges, the actual number tops $7,700.


And remember all those promises that Obamacare would produce some deficit reduction in the first 10 years and $1 trillion over the second decade? Didn’t happen.

The CBO concluded that repealing Obamacare would save $338 billion over the next decade.

If it is so bad....

Why haven’t Republicans given us something better in ten years?
 
A large part of why so many people remain uninsured is because of Republican state Governors who would not approve Medicaid expansion despite the minimal cost it would be for the state. You cannot blame that on Obamacare.

Next bullshit excuse?

That doesn't change from your article. FOURTEEN states, almost all ran by Republicans, have not expanded Medicaid. You are trying to say projections matter more than cold hard concrete statistics. That's not how the world works. Over a decade there is no way to know how many people will get jobs, lose jobs, die, etc. to say that a projection matters more than actual numbers.

This seems to be par for the course with you. You can hardly ever stay on topic, or bring relevant information to an argument.

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - Wikipedia

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also the Affordable Care Act or colloquially known as Obamacare, is a United States federal statute enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010.​

Is this statement true, or false? March of 2010 is when the "Affordable Care Act" or "Obama screws over the country act" was signed into law.

Splitting hairs, just means you don't have a point.
 
Democrats keep crying for Republicans to fix it. If it needs fixing, it's broken. It was broken the first day, the web site didn't work.

And cost how many hundreds of millions of dollars, paid to a Canadian company........
 
Why did democrats make things worse with the ACA bullshit?

They make EVERYTHING worse. EVERYTHING. Welfare - more. Illegals - more. Socialism - more.
Homosexuality - great, let's teach it in third grade. Abortion - kill more, even after they're delivered at 9 months. Free everything and if you disagree, you're greedy, mean-spirited and your mother dresses you funny.
 
The ACA is a ridiculous pig of a law. And yet....

We were told for eight years that the GOP had a better plan. When we asked for details, we were mocked. Then the GOP won control of the White House, House and Senate.

What did they do when they had more power? They shit the bed. They had been lying.

The GOP is in no position to criticize. But they will anyway.

This is where I remind Dems there was bipartisan support for a much smaller, common sense group of healthcare reforms vs the 3,000 page Obamacare nightmare which spawned 10's of thousands of pages of government regulations.
 
Of course, there is a substantial school of thought that believes Obamacare was INTENDED to fail, so that the American public would demand Single Payer.

Yep, that's what the writer of the legislation admits.
