Remember how Democrats once hailed ObamaCare as a "big f---ing deal?"Nowadays, as inadvertently revealed by Politico, many Democrats have turned their backs on the 15-year-old program they have come to loathe (while urging continued funding for it) and instead increasingly demand its replacement with Medicare For All.

On Sunday, Politico reporters Lisa Kashinsky and Elena Schneider revealed the deep Democrat discontent with ObamaCare in "Democrats are united in bashing GOP on Obamacare. Medicare for All could reopen a rift."

The article began with how fervently many Democrats are in their desire to ditch ObamaCare in favor of the entirely government-financed Medicare For All:

It was designed to fail on purpose for just that very reason........

MAGACARE! Medicare seems to be working fairly well for seniors with the addition of Advantage plans. Obamacare is not working for anybody. Liberals claim to like Medicare. Conservatives claim to like Medicare. Let’s skip another government shutdown. Neither side can refuse this solution. Medicare is in place. Seniors need lots more medicine and care than younger people. If Congress will agree to implement Medicare for all, people who need medical insurance can sign up for it. Yes, there will need to be adjustments. I propose insurance companies either agree to this or go out of business. Americans are being left high and dry once again as Congress dithers about to the last second. I am well aware that many here are against medicare for all. But it would be far better than the disaster many Americans face now. MAGACARE!

Medicare for ALL would be worse. Are these people insane?

Flop? Yeah, for the people who needed affordable health insurance and for the doctors to provide it, it was a major failure. But per its intended beneficiaries and the DC politicians who rammed it down the American’s throats, it was a huge success. They ALL realized billions of dollars in corporate and personal wealth.
