Russell Simmons: ObamaCare Already Saved Thousands, Possibly Millions, of Lives
Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^ | November 21, 2013 | Christian Toto

To the average American, ObamaCare is part web site disaster, part shattered campaign promise writ very, very large.

Millions of Americans have already been forced out of their existing health care policies, a number that may skyrocket in the new year.

Russell Simmons sees it differently.

The hip-hop mogul says ObamaCare is already so successful it's saved thousands, if not millions of lives.

"Yes, we initially wanted single payer, and we had to compromise back in 2009 for the Affordable Care Act. But, it is a damn good piece of legislation that has already saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives. So, let us not give up now."

Simmons blasted the 39 house Democrats who voted in favor of tweaking ObamaCare, but he saved his harshest words for the GOP in toto.

"I know where Republicans stand. They have voted 47 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, so their stance is clear. If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t pay for your medical expenses, declare bankruptcy. If you have a pre-existing condition, they’ll send you a get well card when you’re on your death-bed. Whatever President Obama stands for, they stand for the opposite..."

I thought the policies do not become effective until January 01, 2014.

How could these policies save lives in 2013? 33 posted on November 22, 2013 at 10:17:27 PM EST by Andy from Chapel Hill

Considering that it hasn’t kicked in yet, how is this possible?
Same thought process as giving Obama a Nobel Peace Prize for future actions that will bring peace.
Perfect!

That's a great propaganda line for the "first inning" of the ObamaCare disaster.


By this time next year I predict over a Million dead Americans "killed" by ObamaCare ...

and it murderous "POS" architects ... starting with the Kenyan himself.



May Obama rot in hell .. like Stalin and Hitler.
