Obama: Obamacare ‘Here To Stay,’ ‘Working Exactly As It’s Supposed To’

President Obama stated that Obamacare is “working exactly as it’s supposed to” and “here to stay” during Saturday’s Weekly Address.

Transcript as Follows:

“Five years ago, we finally declared that in America, health care is not a privilege for a few, but a right for all.  And this week, after more than fifty votes in Congress to repeal or weaken this law; after a Presidential election based in part on preserving or repealing this law; after multiple challenges to this law before the Supreme Court, we can now say this for certain: the Affordable Care Act still stands, it is working, and it is here to stay.

On Thursday, when the Court upheld a critical part of the Affordable Care Act, it was a victory for hardworking Americans all across this country whose lives are more secure because of this law.  This law means that if you’re a parent, you can keep your kids on your plan until they turn 26.  If you’re a senior, or an American with a disability, this law gives you discounts on your prescriptions. You can’t be charged more just because you’re a woman.  And you can’t be discriminated against just for having a pre-existing condition.

It’s not working exactly as it’s supposed to. My husband slipped through the cracks this week. Employees of Medicare, TriCare and the Veterans Administration all tried their level best to prevent him from having a caregiver while I get surgery for cancer. They had me jumping through hoops all week, and each time I got close to lining up care, they pulled the rug out. I had some non-profits trying to help me navigate the system, but there was a government agent at every turn to put up road blocks. After looking into our situation, they all agreed the only way he’d qualify for a caregiver is if I put him in hospice, imposed a DNR on him, and took away all of his medicines which aren’t palliative in nature.

Then a rogue social worker at a different VA center stepped in, and got him admitted to a VA nursing home, without the pro-death requirements. That is not how obamacare is supposed to work. He was supposed to take the pill and die.

Here’s hoping obamacare never does work as intended.

"‘Working Exactly As It’s Supposed To’"

Crony capitalism. Take money from taxpayers, and give it to the connected.

I get BS and a high deductible thanks to this c___s___er who lit up the white house with rainbows.

‘Working Exactly As It’s Supposed To’

Under the ACA...

"You can keep your plan." "You can keep your doctor." "Your premiums will decrease by an average of $2500." - BHO x27

Really?

oh, I thought you were speaking of future date for those items to be applied. ps: all my rights are specifically given to me by my CREATOR, I don’t need any validation from some corrupt Supreme Court.

She is 62..she had her last colonoscopy 7 years ago(I told my friend she should have gotten it after 4 years) she is experiencing symptoms, pain on the right side and her stomach is bloated so her doctor told her she needs a colonoscopy bad, he told her this MONTHS ago but Brotman Hospital(Where he works) has NO room for her, no bed available..its a crappy hospital but its where he works so she has no choice but to wait..we are in Los Angeles, illegal alien capital of the world

‘Working Exactly As It’s Supposed To’

Really? It's supposed to cover you for multiple by-pass heart surgery and then deny coverage for vital post-op procedures?

Hopefully this will wake my sister and her husband up a little bit about what you really are, 0bastard.

[goodnesswins]

Thx...prayers up for friends mother

[Sarah Barracuda]

She was supposed to have it done on Tuesday but it was postponed(AGAIN) for another week, so will see what happens on Tuesday. Hope they dont find anything bad in her colon. My Dad had the same symptoms(Right side pain) the cancer had already gone to his liver(This was back in 1998) he lived for 1 year with the disease. Getting a colonoscopy is no big deal, just drinking the stuff to make you go is the hard part the rest is super easy

The Obama “Medicaid” people are getting is stripped down version, offering very little, and the patient does not know this. Hospitals in rural areas however are able to remain open, and retain better doctors, or have doctors come in from other areas while doing their residency. The poorest people aren't going thru bankruptcy ( they are paying their other bills ) and not living off much more expensive government subsidies, but the prices in the insurance market for those who can pay have gone up, because they must take on cases that they wouldn't have previously, do to the “ current conditions excluded” part of The Act.

I’ve had several cpsys..
Always have polyps...know the drill well..plan to make sure my next one is before I hit Medicare age...for obvious reasons.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I had mine two years ago, was a struggle since I suffer from colon issues, just took longer than usual but it was worth it..colon cancer is easily treatable when found early

[MSF BU]

The union folks have a huge tax on their health care benefits coming up.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They’ll get a waiver. They always do.
