It did generate it's own savings. There were fewer expensive emergency room costs, because people weren't waiting to the last minute to go to the doctor. Just like preventive maintenance on your car. And so what if there were "fees and taxes"? That means it was funded. That still makes it better than your worthless Bush tax cuts, which did absolutely nothing for the economy and increased the national debt. Dumb ass goober.
CBO: Obamacare’s 10-Year Costs Will Now Eclipse $2 Trillion
Provide a link, goober. That's an absolute lie. ObamaCare is private insurance, you imbecile. Which is why the health care industry enthusiastically supported ObamaCare. ObamaCare provided the private health care industry millions of new customers. A fact that your dishonest Repug ass won't acknowledge.
Fewer Americans Have Private Health Insurance Now Than in 2007
Your first article does not take into account the emergency room savings that I described earlier, and other cost-saving benefits that come when people have regular access to a doctor.
I misunderstood your other comment. I thought you were saying the number of uninsured went up. Yes, ObamaCare expanded Medicaid to poor people and that's a good thing.
If ObamaCare is so terrible, then why did the health care industry enthusiastically support it? You can't answer that truthfully because you're a dishonest Repug.
So ObamaCare is "bad" for insuring millions of Americans, but the worthless Bush tax cuts are "good" for increasing our national debt and doing absolutely nothing to help the economy. Got it, dishonest Repug.
Commie Care was not bad for everybody; just the working middle-class.
If you make french fries for a living, sweep floors, operate a hot dog stand downtown, Commie Care is the greatest thing for you. You can buy into a reasonable plan for sixty or eighty bucks a month. If you are a middle-income worker, they want over 25% of your net pay every month and that's for a completely crap plan.
So why was it designed that way? Because shelf stockers and burger flippers likely vote Democrat while the people who have to pay out of their ass likely vote Republican. It was all politics from the beginning.
The ultimate goal was for DumBama to create as many new government dependents as possible. Between Commie Care and Food Stamps, he created over 40 million more new government dependent on those two programs alone, and it was no accident. The more government dependents, the more likely Democrat voters.
If you had an apple stand, and a President passed into law that every American had to buy apples every week, wouldn't you support that initiative? Of course you would. That's why the insurance industry was so behind it.
