We’ve got a serious problem on our hands and it’s one that many Obamacare apologists refuse to admit. The Patient Affordable Care Act is an unprecedented catastrophe in the making. While millions of Americans are losing their health care coverage within weeks, the health care exchanges advocated by Obamacare supporters are in shambles.
