Obama: Health care act is law, US can't go backward
Associated Press ^ | Dec. 2, 2016 | Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is urging the public to help save his health care law, which is in serious danger of being repealed under President-elect Donald Trump.

In a Facebook Live appearance, Obama says the Affordable Care Act has improved millions of lives over the six years it's been the "law of the land." He says the country can't go "backward."

Obama: Health care act is law, US can't go backward

Typical Kenyan incompetent BS!

Of course it can't!

But Your unaffordable "Affordable Health Care Act" can go away. Just as you are about to. Deal with it.

If Trump is stupid enough to revive anything like it, it certainly won't destroy Social Security in the process, not fraudulently be called "insurance" if the premiums aren't proportional to the risk...and not destroy a successful program for many tens of millions in order to avoid calling a new gargantuan welfare program Welfare Health Insurance.

The Federal Government was never empowered in our Constitution to force citizens to buy something with no choice whatsoever in the matter.

No political Elmer Gantry of any color can erase the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Obamacare is a tax. https://www.yahoo.com/news/blogs/ticket/supreme-court-issue-obamacare-decision-135554880.html

An arbitrary decision by one Justice.
And just as easily arbitrarily reversed

That would not be unprecedented.

A few egregiously bad decisions by the SC have been reversed.

The frightening thing is that this “law” is his signature issue and he has no clue what it really is, has lied about the content and result multiple times, and he did not even write it. Hell, the people who passed this monstrosity of crap did not even know what was in it and said we had to pass it to find out.

For those who are old enough to remember,
The massive database, which was the foundation of the whole mess and make everything work at all, WAS NEVER COMPLETED AND WAS SIMPLY ABANDONED.

UNFORTUNATELY EVEN THOUGH THE LAUNCH OF OBUTTCARE WAS SEVERAL TIMES THE ESTIMATE, IT WAS NEVER COMPLETED. EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE CODING WORK IS STILL NOT THERE.

This coming from the guy who tinkered with his best known failure every time someone suggested it needed another tweak?

The Worst President Ever has only taken this society backwards and down during his illegitimate time in office. May he rot.

Drain that swamp Trump.

This government is deplorable. They don’t do shit.

I worked a secret agency for a time this summer and 9 of 10 workers did nothing. Sat on their ass all day.

I did the work.

But six years ago, almost half of all Americans were at risk of being denied access to health care because of pre-existing conditions.

Outright lies like this one "helped" pass the most unrealistic, fraudulently named "Affordable Health Care Act, also fraudulently referred to as "insurance."

In 2010, according to this outright lie letter, the number of American Citizens was twice the number of people (not necessarily citizens) who were then covered at no cost in 2010.

It's impossible to make sense of that letter if we must compare apples with oranges and lemons...

Dude, I never leaned forward. Until you remove that tax or penalty for not buying a product, you won’t see my tax returns. Oh, and dear maggots, I had a great birthday this year. Castro died the same day of the year that you previously sent me a post dated birthday notice to pay over 10 grand in penalties. And I never paid those penalties. Got em dismissed. Lol.

And this clown claims to be a Constitutional expert.

Only those parts of the Constitution providing for the right to free housing, free healthcare, free food, free clothes, free birth control, free daycare, free utilities, free TV cable, free cell phones, free automobile, free auto insurance, free high school and college, free vacations every year, no questions asked.

Which I've never been able to find.

Obamacare was the most egregious federal government overreach in the history of the country. Now that America is hopefully out of that ridiculous “We need to do what the ‘First Black President’ says because racism” mindset, this thing is destined for the dumpster.
