The act’s supporters said it would achieve the long-sought goal of universal health insurance while preserving the high quality and freedom of choice that are the hallmarks of America’s health care system.
Peter Ferrara says the act’s supporters are wrong. “Obamacare,” he writes in the conclusion to this Heartland Policy Study, “is a disaster. Rather than liberate the American health care system from bureaucracy and waste, it blankets it with more of both, suffocating innovation and destroying freedom. The result is a system that is inconsistent with the freedom, prosperity, high living standards, and traditions of the American people.”
Ferrara has been writing books and reports on health care and entitlement reform for three decades. He served as a senior staff member in the White House Office of Policy Development under President Ronald Reagan and as associate deputy attorney general under President George H.W. Bush. He also has served as an associate professor of law at the George Mason University School of Law. He received an undergraduate degree in economics magna cum laude from Harvard College and a J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School.
Peter Ferrara Peter Ferrara, J.D., is a senior fellow at The Heartland Institute and an advisor for entitlement reform and budget policy at the National Tax Limitation Foundation.

It wasn’t a fault, it was a feature.
Bkmk
It was designed to fail. Next step is National Healthcare. Leftists play the long con.
And elected republicans refuse to abolish it.
They could pass a bill today. They will not. Could’ve yesterday. They did not. Could tomorrow. Not gonna happen.
Literally everything connected to Obama eventually turns to corruption and destruction - from Ukraine to BLM to Syria/Libya to American Healthcare
The man is an angel of death
It was always intended to be a disaster to pave the way for socialized medicine.
Obamacare made insurance companies billions it went as planed.
Kickbacks hid?????????????????????.
NEVER trust a democrat with anything EVER.
I get a laugh with the YouTube ad showing 2 palefaces disturbed about the rising 0bama care premiums.
odoofuscare was/is/always will be a demoncRAT boondoggle. Time to finish it. Erase it from our existence.
From the very first, I felt that both Obama & Obamacare were both a big mistake. I also felt that all that was needed to understand this was a brief instruction on both subjects. Obama as president didn’t feel right from the first, nor did Obamacare.
It was designed to fail. But Trump won. That wasn’t suppose to happen.
“The Obamacare Disaster”
The Obamapresidency was a Disaster
There, fixed it
Bingo!
