The Affordable Care Act is little more than a poorly-designed income redistribution scheme that is prone to fraud.

Oh, on the contrary ...

It was designed perfectly.

If you want Single Payer.

Moaning and crying about “corruption” and waste in a monstrosity of a government spending program like Obamacare is a waste of time. Whenever billions or trillions are spent by the government, there is going to be waste because the government has much less incentive than the private sector to get rid of it. The best way to get rid of waste is to get rid of these programs, period.

I’m saying that ACA was built to be bad in every way possible. Fraud is one of the ways.

The Elite want Single Payer, so they made a costly, inefficient system that is prone to fraud. They hope that people will demand “something better”.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was intended to solve the problem of affordable coverage for people with preexisting conditions

Not really. It was designed to put the insurance companies out of business so that Democrats can say, "See, we had to go to a single-payer (government only) system".

... and they say this with the support of the "opposition party" (i.e., with the recent "budget deal").

Well, our spineless Republican leadership wouldn't want to be accused of being mulattophobic now, would they?

Well, they've already got it with Medicare/Medicaid and the VA system ... and we know how well they work.

We were told that Obamacare was designed to get medical care to those 15 million people who don't have access to it. Whatever the hell that meant.

Turns out it was not designed to protect those 15 million, but instead it was designed to pull the rest of the country off of their insurance and put them into federal care.

Meanwhile those 15 million who could not get medical insurance, only a small portion of them are being served through Obamcare.

So, who has signed up for it? Deadbeats and scam artists.

You sure? IIRC, the insurance companies were all for Øbama Care.

It was so obvious this would be the case that one has to make the next step and realize it was by design. It is yet another money laundering way to finance deadbeats and scam artists, aka, Democrats. See also Union dues from government employees.

They were expecting to get a raft of new enrollees, especially the under-30 crowd, and to have those who couldn't otherwise afford it get t paid for with tax money. It was supposed to be a free place at the gubmint money banquet, only it turned out to be full of poison pills.

Not really.
That was the plan.
It has a very fatal flaw.
One that took real stupidity (both in the implementors and in the detractors) to miss.
It opened up a possibility fair, understandable, easily explained, and accurate branding of incompetence upon every person and organization connected even remotely with conceiving and implementation the program.

There was an assumption that it would blow up in the future, and that blame could be shifted. Instead, It didn’t even fall apart right out of the box. They opened the box and little bits and pieces and liquid sludge sort of oozed out in a rancid sticky mess.

When people I know have health problems they can’t get care for, I pull up the analysis of Obamacare from findlaw.com. I explain that Obamacare guaranteed this , and show them that this legal analysis was made before the bill was passed. And if the person is family or has something terminal, I don’t pull any punches.

Do this, and get anyone even vaguely conservative or desirous of having good medical treatment available then we can get the people involved in implementing Obamacare excluded from implementation something else.

Because it doesn’t take much to force most people to admit that for all of its imperfections the system we had before was the best in the history of the world.

Well, United Health Care, the nation’s largest health insurance company, already announced that they are dropping out of Obamacare because they can’t make money by being forced to cover preexisting conditions.

I'm aware of the reality. My guess is the insurance industry bought into all the Øbama lies like most Americans did.

It was designed to fail. We are half way to the ten year point that Obama and Bawney Fwank said we needed to usher in single payer government run healthcare....for us, not them.
