ObamaCare’s death spiral, stage one: Denial
New York Post ^ | 11/02/15 | Rich Lowry

Posted on 11/03/2015 7:59:15 AM PST by AngelesCrestHighway

For the press, the debate over ObamaCare is over. There may be a few proverbial Japanese soldiers wandering on isolated islands yammering on about the failure of ObamaCare, but word will eventually filter down to them, too. This assumption is so deeply embedded that it is impervious to new evidence that ObamaCare is an unwieldy contraption that is sputtering badly. Yes, ObamaCare has covered more people and has especially benefited those with pre-existing conditions (to be credible, Republican replacement plans have to do these things, as well), but the program is so poorly designed that, surely, even a new Democratic president will want to revisit it to try to make it more workable.

If Obamcare was so wonderful, as Democrats assured us it was, then why would even a future Democrat president want to make changes to such a wonderful plan???

We passed it to see what was in it. The Democrats in control of Congress and the White House rammed it through because it was supposed to solve all of our healthcare issues in this country.

Now we’re saying even Democrats want changes??? What the heck???

What does Eddie Munster have to say? Maybe he’ll talk about getting rid of it ten years from now.

That’s only the current stage.

Next, it will be “YOU WILL LIKE IT, OR ELSE”

It’s one of many disasters brought to you by the hack left ex-ACLU lawyer in the White House.

Of all the mindless “Repeal and Replace”, I don’t think I have heard even one person say the repeal/ replace action should get the federal government the hell out of healthcare. . . that is the only acceptable path to take . . . anything else is a Marxist approach.

DemocRats (and politicians in general) NEVER solve problems. They create them and then propose “solutions” that only make things worse and take away our freedoms.

Look for the pinko-commies to first switch the veterans from the gubmint's VA medical care to a voucher system.
Then, a few months later, while celebrating lying about the "success" of the new system, they'll DEMAND we all go on it.
But not to worry, your annual premium will go down $2500 AND you can keep your doctor ... AND ...

Obama’s was my game changer regarding America’s slide to fascism. We’re health insurance free since Jan 1 2014.

I think the first step will be to bring back the “public option” that was debated in the first bill. That will have the remaining private insurers folding-up faster than the last day of the going-out-of-business sale at Card Tables R Us.

by providing subsidies, it tries to hide the cost — but not enough.

Increased government spending on subsidies is causing economic decline of the middle class by reducing aggredate savings, which leads to a reduction in productive expenditure,physical capital intensiveness, productivity of labor, and productivity of capital goods.These lead to decline in the average real wage rate, which leads to a decline in the standard of living of the average middle class worker.So, here is another example of the perversity of result of libtardism which hurts the people they are trying to help.

Next, it will be "YOU WILL LIKE IT, OR ELSE"

Opponents will be labeled "health care deniers" and prosecuted for their racism toward the poor.
