Image "wasting" money on healthcare for those who struggle to afford it?
We could buy two new carriers for that
Some people will struggle to get healthcare insurance no matter what we do, but DumBama shifted the burden from his voters to his opponents voters. It had nothing to do with getting people healthcare, it had to do with politics only. Let me give you an example:
Part of Commie Care was that all plans had to provide birth control and abortion coverage. Do you really believe that's not vote buying? Do you really believe that abortions and birth control are such a serious problem in the US it required government to force the requirement? Of course not. It's silly. But women tend to vote Democrat. So in spite of it needlessly increasing premiums for everybody else, it bought votes for DumBama and the Democrat party.
Now if you don't believe me, ask yourself why they didn't mandate that insurance programs cover life sustaining drugs such as the ones I take? The answer? Because it doesn't buy many votes, that's why.
