Oh, I don't know about that.

As tools enabling the Regime to loot the country, they're a rousing success.

No, it’s namesake is the model of failure. Unless of course, your intent is to destroy the world’s greatest healthcare industry...

“Obamacare is a failure, it is imploding, it will collapse” Great then when will it? I read a lot about its end, but like a zombie it never dies. We may be able to thank the republicans in the house and senate but when will this nightmare end?

They’re very successful. They’re achieving just what Hussein and his pals wanted them to achieve.

In truth Medicare is a failure but it will never be recognized and ended for that reason. Some wise man once said that the government is good at only two things, waging war and inflating the currency and those two are closely related.

Your excerpt is excessively shortened and doesn’t contain enough info for discussion

- - - - -

state-run exchanges were supposed to form the beating heart of ObamaCare. And the Obama administration dumped almost $5 billion in an effort to make it a reality.
The results have been a disaster.

Of the 37 states that received $2.1 billion in grants to establish an exchange, only 17 did so, and they got an additional $2.7 billion from the feds.

Of those 17, two went bankrupt in the first year. One of them, Oregon, had received a $60 million “early innovator grant.” Residents of those states now use the federal Healthcare.gov site.

A memo from Health and Human Services’ Inspector General Daniel Levinson warns that some of the remaining may be violating federal law in an effort to stay afloat.

ObamaCare told the states that they’d get plenty of federal money to help them set up their exchanges — but not run them. And starting this year, the state exchanges had to be self-financing — they had to pay their own way out of exchange fees or other funding sources.

Democrats should all be answering for this dismal performance, of course most all of them(and now all us too) suffer from bad judgement and are poor decision makers for going along with all these fraudulent bills.
