Obamacare has lost the uninsured

Obamacare has lost the uninsured. No, it’s not another web site glitch: “What that means is that regardless of how bad the old system—the system that for whatever reason left them uninsured—was, a majority of people without health coverage now think that Obamacare makes it worse.” Making problems worse has been a hallmark the Obama Administration.

  • The regime is not worried about this. They will simply come up with yet another free shit scheme that anyone with a few brain cells will realize is utter bullshit, but the gimmee morons will fall for it all over again. Broke and stupid will always be broke and stupid.

  • I'm not too worried about this one, there are not nearly enough people signing up on the exchanges to sustain the expense. Obamacare is collapsing under it's own weight.

  • Quagmire's signature health care law has gone from a joke to an unconstitutional travesty. I wonder how much the assholes who wrote this garbage made in kickbacks from the insurance companies, who now I bet want their money back.

    • There is a bailout provision for the insurers in the ACA if not enough people enroll to cover the bills.

      • But, wouldn't that mean taxpayer money? Didn't Obama promise that this would not cost a single dime?

        • Yeah but that was when the CBO said the cACA Obama Care would cost $900 billion for ten years. Then the CBO said it would be $1,900 billion. Then CBO projected it would be $2,900 billion. The latest it was $3,600 billion. By mid year 2014 ti will be nearing $5,000 billion.

          The democrats and Obama inflicted this upon a nation that was 85% happy with the existing system. The democrat party and Obama inflicted this because of 30 million people that were not insured. Many of those didn't want insurance or self insured. So a complete and utter disaster was done in the name of $15 million or so people and it will double everyone's costs and break the bank of the USA by $5 trillion dollars.

        • That was indeed an Obama promise- that it would help reduce the deficit and we know exactly what Obama's promises are worth.

    • What is coming out about the law is not the least bit consistent with any intent to mitigate access to and cost of health care... it's looking more and more like an economic land mine- engineered to break the back of the economy and transform what's left of the middle class into an underclass dependent on government handouts..

  • Discussing any of the legislation being rammed through by the regime through the prism of public opinion and support is pointless because it has been quite aptly demonstrated that what we want is irrelevant to the folks who have taken over the legislative process and are working to suppress dissent.

    • It is almost like when public opinion gets to 60% or more King Barky the Liar and the democrats will go the other direction.

      Every. Single. Time.

      • Five days isn't nearly enough time to review the over 2,400 pages of just the legislation which doesn't include accompanying regulations.
