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.

I do not deny he is our President! I pray he starts acting like one! Like I said Trump had a big opportunity to make a big difference in the lives of Americans. They should have worked together Trump, Ryan and other republicans to fix and amend The Affordable Care Act. They would have come out looking like heroes.
Now everyone wants to blame Ryan and Trump is President and should have got it done!
Obamacare was, and is a big joke.
Don’t like the replacement bill didn’t pass cause it did not do enough to satisfy God’s intention
Repeal Obamacare! That is the real first step. Open the free market for healthcare, just like auto insurance.
So basically what Obamacare has done for America is make private health care unaffordable but required by law.
This should surprise no one. Insurance companies should not be a pawn of government. Before ObamaCare rates were reasonable for those who chose to insure themselves.

Health care should NEVER be government controlled.
