Oh, on the contrary ...
It was designed perfectly.
If you want Single Payer.
Ar you saying it’s not prone to fraud?
Not really.
That was the plan.
It has a very fatal flaw.
One that took real stupidity (both in the implementors and in the detractors) to miss.
It opened up a possibility fair, understandable, easily explained, and accurate branding of incompetence upon every person and organization connected even remotely with conceiving and implementation the program.
There was an assumption that it would blow up in the future, and that blame could be shifted. Instead, It didn’t even fall apart right out of the box. They opened the box and little bits and pieces and liquid sludge sort of oozed out in a rancid sticky mess.
When people I know have health problems they can’t get care for, I pull up the analysis of Obamacare from findlaw.com. I explain that Obamacare guaranteed this , and show them that this legal analysis was made before the bill was passed. And if the person is family or has something terminal, I don’t pull any punches.
Do this, and get anyone even vaguely conservative or desirous of having good medical treatment available then we can get the people involved in implementing Obamacare excluded from implementation something else.
Because it doesn’t take much to force most people to admit that for all of its imperfections the system we had before was the best in the history of the world.
Obamacare was specifically designed to fail, thereby enabling the Federal Government to take healthcare over.
Why some people still don't get that point is beyond me. If it wasn't patently obvious when they wrote it in secret, and again when they "had to pass it before we could see it!" just how blind are some people!?
