Obama couldn’t even come up with his own autobiography, despite a hefty cash advance and years of effort—certainly he didn’t even come up with any of the horrendous Obamacare on his own.
The ridiculous “exchanges” were, as I understand it, the brainchildren of think-tank conservatives at the Heritage Foundation. There is little more dangerous than a think-tank conservative, who is charged with coming up with innovative government programs to rival Leftist government programs.
And the “exchanges” are a perfect example of the sort of faux free-market solutions that a think-tank conservative favors. Billions of dollars and lots of bureaucracy, but really nothing to justify a government run, rather than free, market. The only potential (negative) value added is in the subsidies and the sweeping of people into Medicaid. Both of those could and should have been done, if at all, by the government directly, without creating massive statist control over every inch of the healthcare market.
“I came up with things like, you know, health care.”
What a douche.
We’ve had healthcare since the first caveman slapped a mud & herb salve on a scraped knee.
Just another excuse by the Democrats to loot the treasury.
This is happening by design. It is no accident.
Government, the only way left to prosperity.
Liberals could take that comment and use it as an argument for single payer.
There is a big difference between healthcare and insurance fraud Obama.
I agree, and do it IMMEDIATELY !
Nothing in my comments support single payer.
The truth about the Fabian solutions of think-tank conservative healthcare solutions should not be avoided for such a bogus reason.
Just another excuse by the Democrats to loot the treasury.
***************
That’s what Republican representatives SHOULD be saying everyday. That is, if they were truly conservative.
Sad and scary at the same time.
Exactly.
First of all insurance is not health care.
Secondly, if it were health care, that has existed for millions of years so Obama didn’t prototype it.
Thirdly, PPACA was already mostly written and waiting in the wings when he took office. He did NOTHING to bring it into being. All he did was sign the bill and take credit.
So no, Girl Scouts, he has never invented or ‘prototyped’ anything, even something as messed up as Obamacare.
I know your comment doesn’t support single payer, but I know some liberals that could twist it that way.
How—I don’t see that at all?
If the intent of O Care was to enrich a few people by pouring large amounts of cash through the cracks and then permitting them to disappear without a trace, it succeeded.
Looks like it will die without a vote from either Congress or the Supremes.
Because they claim that if people weren’t indoctrinated with whacky free market ideas about healthcare that conservatives talk about it would be a piece of cake to install single payer gov’t run healthcare. I worked for a labor union for years that were working on single payer even before Obama, and after they got obamacare that’s what they said.
But there’s nothing in my post to support that.
