To the average American, ObamaCare is part web site disaster, part shattered campaign promise writ very, very large.

Millions of Americans have already been forced out of their existing health care policies, a number that may skyrocket in the new year.

Russell Simmons sees it differently.

The hip-hop mogul says ObamaCare is already so successful it's saved thousands, if not millions of lives.

"Yes, we initially wanted single payer, and we had to compromise back in 2009 for the Affordable Care Act. But, it is a damn good piece of legislation that has already saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives. So, let us not give up now."

Simmons blasted the 39 house Democrats who voted in favor of tweaking ObamaCare, but he saved his harshest words for the GOP in toto.

"I know where Republicans stand. They have voted 47 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, so their stance is clear. If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t pay for your medical expenses, declare bankruptcy. If you have a pre-existing condition, they’ll send you a get well card when you’re on your death-bed. Whatever President Obama stands for, they stand for the opposite..."

Who is Russel Simmons? Is he an expert of some sort?

Lives saved vs Jobs saved

Which is the higher number? /S

[cdcdawg]

I’m sure that Mr. Simmons would have the exact same reaction if/when the government decides to regulate the “music” industry. Or not.

[doc1019]

Considering that it hasn’t kicked in yet, how is this possible?

[rockinqsranch]

Curious as to who gives a rats tail end what Russel Simmons thinks.

[LMAO]

Actually, his statements are very telling in how liberals view the world.

Liberals tend to view intentions has having more weight than results. But in the case of ObamaCare, the results have been horrible. In order to protect the concept of it's intentions, Simmons has had to create an alternative reality

This is the reason they buried Lincoln in a steel cage and then poured 4000 pounds of concrete over it.

Only a rap mogul could be simultaneously so incredibly wealthy and equally as stupid.
