Why Should Anyone Trust What Dems Say About Health Reform?
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 5/9/2017 | Staff

ObamaCare: Republicans who voted for the American Health Care Act are doomed. The bill will push 24 million off health insurance. It will be terrible for those with pre-existing conditions. These are the claims being made about the GOP's plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. And they are everywhere: Every time a Democrat speaks, on the nightly news, on late-night television, at town halls. But wait a minute. Who exactly is making these claims? Oh, right, the very same people who predicted that ObamaCare would be a great success.

Remember? They said ObamaCare would be a huge political win for Democrats.

Back in 2010, President Obama's pollster predicted that ObamaCare would "win over public support once it becomes law."

A top advisor, David Plouffe, said that "Republicans are going to regret turning this (into) 'ObamaCare.' "

David Axelrod claimed that "I think that health care, over time, is going to become more popular."

So far I’ve seen congressmen and administration officials promise that Trumpcare will cover everyone, will cost a fraction of Obamacare, will lead to premium reductions of 50% or more, will slash deductibles, that nobody will be worse off under Trumpcare, that people with pre-existing conditions will be covered with no increase in the premiums that they pay, and on and on. They are making the same “like your doctor, keep your doctor” claims that the Democrats made. So why should people believe them?

I pray you're wrong, but having a Democrat train wreck of a health care bill followed by a Republican train wreck of a health care bill I fear that you are right.
