Was Obamacare designed to fail?
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/20/16 | Matthew Vadum

Obamacare was designed to fail. It’s a gigantic con job. It was drawn up in such a way that it would eventually collapse thus theoretically clearing the way for single-payer

Well, DUH!

Of course Obamacare was designed to fail. The system is built on lies. It is a Trojan horse for a total government takeover of health care in the United States.

In an op-ed in The Hill, Jeffrey I. Barke, M.D., who practices family medicine in Newport Beach, Calif., examines the issue. He writes:

As ObamaCare’s troubles mount, I’ve heard my patients and my peers in healthcare ask: How could the law’s authors not have seen this coming? For my part, I think a different question needs to be asked: What if they did? What if ObamaCare was purposely designed to fail?

Not only was it designed to fail, but it was designed for the taxpayer to bail out the companies that would be part of single payer as well as the execs who would lose their jobs.

The rest of the employees will be terminated.

It is a house of cards. Death to the private medical, pharma and insurance industry by a thousand paper cuts to those being insured. Very devious and cruel.

They knew what they were doing. This intentional failure was not a mistake.

I fully expect, with a Hitlery win that a total collapse will see the government rushing in on a “white horse” to the rescue of the public.

It was destined to fail, but the thinking behind it is just too crude and transparent to say it was DESIGNED to fail, IMHO. Maybe in some ultimate sense, you know? They were just blundering ahead to commie utopia. I would agree to that.

Their ultimate goal is ‘Universal Health’ for all......Hillary has spoken of “Universal” health for years. Which ties in nicely with the Move for a New World Order....she’s not going to even budge on that issue.

Every Republican who was in office when this fiasco was passed should be voted out.

Every single one.

Yes. They knew it would fail from the beginning. . . and then they would say socialized medicine was necessary and the only “fair” thing to do.

With McConnell and Ryan leading the charge, all the while crying, “Well, none of us voted for it.” True enough, but the GOP won’t stick a fork in it either.

Just like in Venezuela. Don't think we're too big to fail. That's the nature of these things, you know ... right up to the edge ... then BOOM.

“Every Republican who was in office when this fiasco was passed should be voted out.”

But none of them voted for it IIRC in the House. The House passed the Senate bill with a 219–212 vote on March 21, 2010, with 34 Democrats and all 178 Republicans voting against it. The next day, Republicans introduced legislation to repeal the bill. Obama signed ACA into law on March 23, 2010.

The people who need to be “voted out” are the American voters who put Obama in office - and there’s no way to do that.

I think it's important to step back and look at the U.S. health care landscape with a broad view.

It doesn't matter if ObamaCare was "designed to fail." -- it was going to fail in any case.

But, guess what ... the system it replaced was going to fail, too. The problem with the whole health care system is that it is predicated on an underlying flaw that guarantees its collapse:

Our health care system is built on the expectation that someone else should pay our medical bills.

It's really that simple, folks. It doesn't take a PhD. in economics to see that this whole thing is just a house of cards.

Most certainly. That’s how we get single payer. In this last vestige of a freemarket medical system all R&D in the world is done to make new drugs to sell into the American market. Once the system is taken completely from the market by the government there will be no more incentive to do R&D. When the pathogens gradually mutate to resistance to existing antibiotics medicine will be back to pre antibiotic days. You get sick, you die.
The government will not pay the costs of R&D until the elite begin to panic as drugs lose their effectiveness for THEM.They will push government R&D which will be minimally effective because it is government doing it. And there will still be fights about spending the money for it when other, more important things, like keeping the masses calm with free beer and food and entrtainment compete for declining resources.

It is DESIGN, not stupidity. That is how we get to totally nationalized medicine, i.e. medicine for the elite and long lines and jammed waiting rooms for the masses with their ration cards.

Good points, but let’s be clear here — there hasn’t been a “free market medical system” in the U.S. in decades.

Most every thing the Left does— every idea the Left has fails — at this point, what difference does it make?!

You are correct.
