Correct - less affordable than ever given the massive increase in costs, thanks to Obamacare

Deceptive Headline Alert!

“Despite Obamacare”?

How about “Because of Obamacare”????

It was never meant to be affordable. It was just to destroy the health industry while formenting class and race resentment and hopefully warfare.

The Affordable Healthcare Act is definitely a misnomer. No one I know save a handgul can afford it and that’s onky because they have government jobs.

Because Obamacare emboldened the insurance companies by getting rid of competition, insurance rates skyrocketed. Meanwhile physicians are paid less and now it takes four or five bureaucrats per doctor for every patient visit and those expenses are now called “health care.”

If you thought healthcare was expensive before, just wait until government gets fully involved.

ObozoCare has enriched Big Insurance, Big Hospital Companies, and Big Pharma ... all while giving Big Government vast new power and control.

These are the ones who wrote the bill and this is exactly the outcome they wanted.

From their perspective, Obamacare has been a resounding success.

IBD editorial writer strikes again - 8 years at F.R. posting very short excerpts and never replying to anything.

Obamacare wasn’t designed to provide health care, it was intended to empower state control over the finances of you and your children forever,

This turd is 5 1/2 years old. Remember, this turd collected taxes years before the unaffordable plans went on the exchange.

My premium went up 30% this year in a single jump, and is now going up another 30% starting in January.

I couldn't afford it before, and this breaks the bank. Just can't do it. Now what?

If there ever was a plan to collapse the healthcare system into a single-payer leviathan, this is it. And the fedgov gets to crush the middle class out of existence as a bonus.

It’s affordable. It’s just a really bad investment. It’s why I don’t have it.

I don’t know that it’s killing the health industry. But I do get HUGE discounts when I tell my health care provider that I’m paying out of pocket.

That’s probably why I get such big discounts. I have no insurance and pay with American express.

Who would have guessed that socialism, combined with subsidies for the parasites among us, would make medical care more expensive? That is as unexpected as Obama’s failures in boosting the economy by expanding regulations.
