Billions of taxpayer dollars later, Obamacare's still unaffordable

There's a reason the founders didn't want foreign born acting as POTUS and B. Hussein is the prime example

And for all the doubters out there, B. Hussein WAS foreign born. His grandma said he was born in Kenya, his brother said he was born in Kenya, and Obama himself said he was born in Kenya when he went to Harvard, yet when Trump repeats that he's called racist.

Why would his publisher put down that he was born in Kenya unless Obama said he was and requested it be put down? This was no mistake. Imagine you write a book, or booklet and the publisher puts down you were born on Mars? It makes no sense unless YOU demanded it be put down.

I doubt Barack Obama is even his real name. Why would his mother name him after his father when his father skipped town the second he was born?

Like Clinton Eastwood said: "One day we will realize that the Barack Obama presidency was the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people."

Obama in his homeland w/ his Kenyan relatives.

All part of the plan for the government to take over healthcare.

Obamacare was really:
An insurance industry bailout. Before Obamacare profit margins for health insurance companies was in the 1-5% category (close to business failure) after it was 50-100%

Tax on the middle class to subsidize those who didn’t do the right thing.

Expansion of federal government

Gateway to loss of privacy (having records online) while being able to blame Physicians

Software company (health records) bailout for unpopular EMR’s

A healthcare system that was always unaffordable, made no attempts to control costs, so it would fail spectacularly, and ‘socialized medicine’ with more federal control could be done next. It was a step to socialism/communism from the get go.

Dramatically allowed for increased government propaganda and control, by affording a ‘media and advertising budget’ in the billions, which took over other industries independence.

Was a giant lie to the American public, which cost trillions, and never delivered on what was promised.

Never really had any medical insurance all the years I worked. Couldn’t afford it on what I was paid. I’m doing better on Medicare & an Advantage plan now than I ever did when I was working. All the employer’s “health insurance group plan” ever did was make a poor man poorer. Some companies may have paid it for the employee, but mine never did. They didn’t pay much, nor did they have any retirement plan. And this was a skilled job. And to think some folks urged me to go back to work after I had retired late in life. There wasn’t enough left of me after those working years to enable me to do anything i was skilled at.

this:

“This year, the average enrollee with a mid-level silver plan had to meet a deductible of nearly $4,900 . Less generous bronze plans had an average deductible of nearly $7,500. Historically, roughly three-quarters of exchange plans have confined their beneficiaries to narrow provider networks.”

you have to pay the deductible first b4 the health plan pays anything, and they pay at the medicade rate, which is below even medicare rates..
