It's important to remember that zer0care was never about health care. It was about extending health insurance to the parasite classes thus allowing insurance companies to make a lot more money.

I'm not sure I agree with that. ObamaCare was all about propping up existing insurance pools facing all of the challenges of a demographic distortion in an aging work force. The "parasite classes" you refer to are people who were employed and insured, but the insurance companies couldn't stay in business that way because there weren't enough younger insured customers to offset the rising costs of health care for older workers.

That's why the two most important provisions of ObamaCare to the insurance industry were:

1. The individual mandate (to force a whole new set of younger and healthier clients to do business with them); and

2. The provision that required employers to cover the adult children of their employees (to inflate insurance enrollments to add more younger and healthier clients even if they didn't work for the employer).
