ObamaCare is working exactly as planned. If Hillary gets in, we will go to a one-payer government controlled health system before the end of 2018.

Mission Accomplished!

Ocare was designed to fail so the commies can usher in single payer.

Of course it was a one-woman job to ‘deem it passed’ and one-man job to change ‘penalty’ to ‘tax’ and thus the law ‘Constitutional’.

Lots of folks to hate here, don’t stingy on only Obama/Hillary.

No surprise here.

Even before ObamaCare was passed, the medical insurance industry in this country was nothing more than a house of cards waiting to collapse.

Two of the basic principles of an insurance-related industry are that: (1) the insurer must have some measure of control over costs, and (2) the insurer must be some mechanism for managing risk. In this age of modern medicine and upside-down demographics, medical insurance offers neither.

And this has nothing to do with whether the "insurer" is a private company or a government agency.

“It cited a loss of $200 million in the second quarter.”

No worries.

The Republican Congress will fund their deficit.

Aetna is a corrupt system anyway, so I hope they fail completely.

“Hillary will expand access to affordable health care to families regardless of immigration status by allowing families to buy health insurance on the health exchanges regardless of their immigration status.”

“Hillary will....make a “public option” possible. She will also support letting people over 55 years old buy into Medicare.”

“Hillary believes we need to demand lower drug costs for hardworking families and seniors.”

Basically the same thinking that brought the Trabant automobiles to Eastern Europe under communism.

“affordable” = “crappy” car, health insurance, etc.

In the name of equality, everyone must drive/purchase one of these “affordable” cars, health insurance, etc.

And there is no accountability for or recourse from their awful policies because the communist party/democrat party controls the elections and therefore who is in charge.

Obamacare has done the following:

1. Provided basically free health care for those who don’t pay into the system including the illegals in many states.

2. Removed affordable health care from those paying into Obamacare and made it into a very expensive hospital care program for the payers with zero outpatient care. See #3 below.

3.The high outpatient deductibles and co pays have basically made paying for outpatient care on their own for those paying into the system.

4. Many good doctors, their nurses and office staff took early retirement to avoid dealing with Obama Care. Those past retirement and were working 2-3 days per week, pulled the plug and closed their offices.

***“It cited a loss of $200 million in the second quarter.”***

And I’m supposed to have sympathy for their losses? I don’t think so, especially since they lobbied hard and heavy for this monstrosity Obamacare.

This crap, illegal force you to buy disaster forced upon us by Bush’s Roberts needs to be dumped and insurance companies need to be allowed to compete across state lines. Then we’ll start to see true health care reform.

The only sympathy I have is for those of us who work and don’t have insurance or insurance that’s too expensive. That’s it.

All by design. Single-Payer here we come.

Depends on the make-up of Congress. If the perception is that Trump is way behind in the polls, Republicans may not come out and the result will be the worst of all possible outcomes. A democrat/lib controlled Congress. Then, yes, it will be Single Payer.

The doctors will love it. They will get a fixed salary of around $250K/year and will be limited to seeing 3 patients a day. If you need to see the doctor...tough, you are on the waiting list, no matter the medical problem.

Same as in the U.K.
