Obama and his brain dead voters continue to brag about all of the people who now have heath care insurance because of Obama care. Like everything our beloved leader does, it is what is left out of the hype that matters. It can be argued that Obamacare is in it's death spiral because the evil insurance companies are pulling out of the exchanges after losing their shirts. There are still some writers in financial publications who say this is all exaggerated. Maybe. Maybe like a Frankenstein monster Obamacare will continue to live on after it's Daddy is no longer on the political scene. What is not exaggerated are the high deductibles in Obamacare that limit it's usefulness.

This article from last November is still relevant.

The people who promote this garbage don't have to deal with it. That simple. Socialism is for the people, not the socialists.

One of the big carriers is dropping out as of yesterday. It isn't known as yet how many states they will be leaving when the crying stops but I'll bet it's a bunch. This is just the tip of the spear our hateful despot of a president has thrust upon us.

And so it starts accelerating. The pace will quicken so stand by for more lies and deceit. In Trump terminology it will be HUUUUUGE.

The high deductibles are the easiest to attack Obamacare with. The next liberal who defends Obamacare to me will have to tell me what deductible he has, and whether he has Obamacare. I am guessing the nuts who defend Obamacare are not on it.

I listened to commentators on TV talking about Obamacare going into a death spiral. I decided to look online for stories. I found one guy, I think it was on Forbes who said the death spiral talk was premature. I don't think so. To keep Obamastein alive it will take massive inflows of taxpayer money. Even the big horned Rinos in the House and Senate will not go for that.

Obama Care is not the issue at all.
My wife's premiums nearly doubled and co pays did double but that still is not the issue.
The purpose of Obama Care is to disrupt the entire medical care system to the point of collapse. Then there will be enough idiots out there who will demand the Feds fix it. The answer will be to Federalize it and remove all private insurance completely. This is the ultimate goal. Very similar to Communism taking over in Russia followed a similar path.
Germany also went from a Kaiser to a failed democracy and then begged ultimately for a dictator and once in place could not remove him.
The only real solution is to do completely away with the stupid health insurance. Only have catastrophic insurance. Like you do not insure oil changes for your car so it should be for check ups etc. Will you be able to afford it? Of course. In fact I bet a quick check up like you get anyway will be about as much as many co pays are now. How do I know this? I hated the Phoenix VA,For good reason as you all know now, so I spoke with my wife's doctor, and asked how much did they make after the insurance discounted the bill, the cost of all the paperwork and staff and it came to $48 dollars. I said I would pay $50.00 for check ups and such for labs as well. It worked for 12 years for me until I moved to a better VA area.
So Obama care is just a step setting up government health care and a single payer system like other loser countries around the world.

You are right! My doctor let me go to the lab for blood work. 30 bucks. She checked it, and me out for 45 bucks. She quit her private practice because of this crap!!

To pay for Obamacare, the government took over 700 billion dollars from Medicare. Medicare is the insurance for those on Social Security, senior citizens and the disabled. These groups have the most diseases and health costs in America. How do they justify hurting the sickest Americans to give His Majesty control over every aspect of life for Americans?

obamacare isn't the only thing that sucks,the moronic idiot,that came up with it,also sucks......

High deductible= Wealth redistribution- death sentence.

Ask how much 'subsidy' they get. This is the fraud that disguises ridiculous premiums. A prime selling point was "taxpayers subsidize ER visits." We now pay more to subsidize premiums. And we get crushing deductibles...

The ACA was enacted as a way to become a one payer system/socialist system. The only way that we can prevent that from happening is to elect any Republican for President.
