The Affordable Care act was designed to fail.
AI: The bureaucracy associated with Obamacare, particularly through the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), has cost taxpayers around $9 billion since its inception, with projections indicating an additional $1.3 billion over the next decade. Many of its initiatives have not only failed to save money but have also complicated healthcare for seniors, leading to increased costs overall.

Obamacare was intended by the democrats to lead to a euro-style single-payer National Health Service; and like the euros, government will require about 50% of every dollar of income Americans receive in taxes to pay for it.

It’s from 2016 - reality - The standard Medicare Part B deductible in 2016 was $166, while in 2026 it will increase to $283. This reflects a significant rise in costs over the decade.

“It’s from 2016”

Yes, that’s what it says in the post:

“The bottom line is this: Under this law, the share of Americans with insurance is up, and the growth of healthcare costs is down. And that’s good for our middle class, and that’s good for our fiscal future.” - President Barack Obama, 4/26/2016”

Understood - I just did the research to show the rise in costs...which belie Oscama’s statements - and let’s not forget they did their best to make it mandatory for everyone to be insured...we still have to annotate that we have insurance on our tax returns each year...
