Big government is never the answer to big questions. Obamacare was rammed down the throats of the American people by Senate Democrats, who voted 100% approval against 0% Republican Senate votes, in spite of the fact that polls of the American people showed a decisive rejection of the plan. Democrats themselves admitted they did not know what was in the plan, how it would work, and what it would cost. Subsequent disclosures show that Obama and his administration lied about what it would cost, and that the only way they could get buy-in was to lie. The blatant misrepresentation by Obama stating that American families would save $2,500 per year in medical premiums and that families would be able to keep their doctors and their medical plans if they preferred was also recognized from the very beginning to be false, and should be a prosecutable offense, given the pain, suffering and cost it has caused the American people.
The problem is that once a government program is launched, no matter how ineffective or how big a failure, it only grows. Obamacare is even worse in that the cost my be so high and the failure so deep that it will collapse under its own weight. Of course rather than letting the free market repair the damage, you can be sure that Democrats will double down and insist that what is really needed is a single payer system where the people have no choice and government will control all health care in this country. We already see with the scandal plagued Veterans Hospital disaster that government is definitely not the answer if we want affordable and effective medical care, but that will not change Democrats pushing for a state run solution.

What gives
Why did the CEO get a 26% increase in salary?
This is a B******T MONEY GRAB ! They can damn well reduce their high up executive’s pays. They would be put out of business ASAP if everybody quit paying for 30 days.
This c**p is a joke! I checked into getting health care under this scam and was told it would cost my husband and I $150.00 a month (we cannot afford that) and that is to just carry the card around the deductible is $15000.00 before they will pay for anything, yes you read that right fifteen thousand dollars, that is half of our income for the year. So basically I am paying for some low life looser to have more free$#%&!@* Then because we said no way, we get penalized for not being able to afford it! Plus where we live NOBODY will take Anthem!! Go figure!!!!
we can fix this let’s have the same insurance that our senator & congressman have why not we are paying for it anyway why not include ourselves! Problem solved…..
How surprising!
The people who they claim will loose it … Never had insurance to begin with !!
Make Dems pay for it!!!
Trump and the Republicans had their chance to fix it, instead as they normally do, came up with a plan that was far worse than Obamacare. Now because they failed all Americans they blame the Democrats. Republicans have had five years to make it better and sat on their asses complaining and doing nothing. Trump comes along with a plan that benefits the wealthy hurts everyone else, gets 17% approval from Americans, fails as the supreme negotiator and then instead of stepping up to his failure, says he’s happy it failed and hopes everyone loses their insurance.
