Obama didn't know healthcare could be so complicated
The Washington Examiner ^ | March 28, 2018

"We know what works,” then-President Barack Obama said at the Global Center for Health Innovation in 2015. “We know what we have to do. We’ve just got to put aside the stale and outmoded debates. Reject failed policies. Embrace the policies that we know work. Embrace the promise of the future.”

What Obama claimed with such overweening confidence was that a few technical changes might fix most of the problems with healthcare delivery. But he and his allies pushing Obamacare were just plain wrong. His technocratic arguments that the 2010 law could bend the cost curve downward have been refuted again and again since its passage. Now, two new studies are out that explode critical assumptions people made in debate about medical bankruptcies and electronic medical records.

Last Friday marked the eighth anniversary of Obamacare’s signing. It’s a shame that it took eight years for two of its most important founding myths to fall by the wayside.

There were very good reasons for the founders to exclude the children of foreign nationals with the natural born citizen requirement.

Healthcare/insurance is complicated because those in the industry needed to create a convoluted complex system to bake in many ways to deny claims. So complex, to read most insurance policies nowadays, one nearly has to be an attorney in the insurance field.

It was deliberately badly written... and wouldn’t have passed muster even IF Congress morons would have actually read it.

It was/is a lie and they are criminals... the lie is ongoing as long as the ‘law’ in place and they are not prosecuted. Wall-to-wall crime.

Not a single ‘politician’, right now, could measure up to the least of the Founders, in any way.

What we have now are the dregs of humanity-compared to the sense of decency, ethics, statesmanship, personal integrity and mental horsepower THEY possessed!

All democrats are full of crap. Socialism is crap. Same for globalism, environmentalism, feminism, genderism, abortionism, homosexualism, government enforced atheism, racism, marxism, fascism, crony capitalism, and every other anti-God/anti-America ISM they worship and try to force on us.
