Why I hate Obamacare


Why I hate Obamacare
Mike Walker, Col USMC (retired)

It has nothing to do with Gruber or bad websites or false statements like: “If you like your health plan, you can keep your plan.” Those are correctable irritants.

I hate Obamacare on two counts.

The first was just addressed by Senator Schumer: Some 85% of Americans had health care from either their employer or the government BEFORE Obamacare.

The creators of Obamacare decided that it was time for BIG GOVERNMENT to fix what was not broken and tinker with EVERYONE’s health care.

That has proven a colossal failure.

It is the second failure, however, that really makes me hate Obamacare. 

What about the uncovered 15%?

While BIG GOVERNMENT in Washington was failing badly at “playing God” with the 85% that were covered, the 15% who needed health care got shoved under the bus.

Just to show how terribly misguided the Obamacare zealots are, many are now cheering and patting themselves on the back after announcing that only 4% got covered while 11% got nothing.

Really? You maroons goofed up 100% of the system in order to leave 11% uncovered. That is failure writ large.

The Republicans just took control of both chambers in the Capitol. They claim to have the answers to Obamacare's problems. Really?

Here is some sage advice: Help the 11% first and then save the rest of us.
