Yes, and the truth that the ACA does not provide, nor was even designed to provide universal coverage, that it has yet to demonstrate that it improves outcomes, and that thus far it has not reduced costs significantly.

Three goals:

Universal coverage - fail.

Improved outcomes - jury's out.

Reduced cost - jury's out.

Not a good idea to declare victory at halftime. Unless you're the kind of person who thinks capitalising "truth" makes it more true.



Look again at the links I've provided many of which show govt stats to prove costs have gone downward and coverage more wide spread and comprehensive.

Right wing delusionals and reichtards may not like these truths but they offer no proof to the contrary.

As for me, like most folks in the Gopher state and in Romneyville, we like our Obamacare. :)

So, we've gone from paying twice the OECD average to 1.95 times the OECD average. Yay.

And not universal. Do you not understand what "universal" means?

Left wing delusionals may not like the truths that the ACA is inferior to every other health care system in the OECD, but they offer no proof to the contrary.

Price costs went up far higher BEFORE ACA.

True it is not universal but don't blame Obama for that as the DNC pledge was to get full coverage. If Congressional Republicans hadn't diluted ACA we would have universal HC coverage.

Inferior? Let's have further reform. I'm all for it. Only reichtards want the Republican holocaust to continue. I want more America lives to be saved, just like this:

Ah, so everything good about the ACA is to the credit of Obama and Pelosi, and everything bad about it is the fault of the EEE-vil Republiklans.

I'd accuse you of being a shill, but sadly you seem to actually believe the balderdash you spew.

I have absolutely no idea why you are giving me so much grief over this shtt.

As you well know because I have documented it here, the DNC promised full HCR in the August 2008 convention. Obama and Pelosi did their level best to get it done. With the exception of a couple of DINOcraps ... err, DINOcrats, it was the Republicans and their Tea Bagger puppet string masters who fcukked up any chance of creating the type of reform the OECD has always had. They enjoy what they have thanks to the USA financed Marshall plan. I have stated enough times on this forum that if USA tax dollars can finance this in Europe and in Israel then most assuredly we can finance it here.

But I repeat myself.

Well, then, let me clarify.

The ACA was ill-conceived, poorly negociated, shrouded in lies, half-truths, and propaganda, badly rolled out, and is still being lied about by all sides. By any rational measure it is inferior to the health-care systems of the rest of the OECD in terms of three criteria:

1. Comparability of outcomes.

2. Universal coverage.

3. Per capita cost.

In other words, we could have taken any of 33 health-care systems, translated them to English, passed them in the U.S., and had a system superior to the one provided by the ACA. Instead we have a system that leaves approximately 8% of the population out in the cold, costs about twice the OECD average per capita (even with 8% uncovered), and has yet to improve outcomes.

And you are in full-on propaganda mode about how it's just the bestest thing ever.

And that, gopher, is why I give you "shtt" about it.

Blah blah blah. The Dumbocrats screwed the pooch through perhaps the worst political performance since they all lined up and cheered for Bush's wars.

It was all Democrat... 100%

The GOP had nothing to do with the passing of this disaster.

It sucks... and the Democrats own it


Another stupid meme.

Horseshît. You just read and ignored the fact that I wrote of my desire to see:

"promised full HCR"

"the type of reform the OECD has always had"

"if USA tax dollars can finance this in Europe and in Israel then most assuredly we can finance it here"




Where the fück did you see me say ACA is the "bestest" thing ever when I have repeatedly called for FULL health care reform as you just saw???

Oh fer****sake! You spend hours on here every day touting the "complete success" of the ACA. You're the most enthusiastic supporter of Obamacare ever to don a short skirt and pick up pom poms.

If the ACA is a "complete success," why do you not want to continue as is?

Some businesses use part-time to meet health law


That sounds about right... just what opponents of this disastrous law have been saying would happen.

Another Gruber Quote...

“The real substance of cost control is all about a single thing: telling patients they can’t have something they want. It’s about telling patients, ‘That surgery doesn’t do any good, so if you want it you have to pay the full cost.’”

And the tards thought it was about health care... lol

Again, where do you see me saying that I want it to stay as it is and for us not to have full health care reform?

Don't be a reichtard and fall for the bullshtt the right wingers are feeding you. Present evidence of your claim.






At least 7.1M signed up for 2015 Obamacare plans so far - The Washington Post



It's affordable for everybody, contrary to the delusionalism of the far right. Especially those who have Romneycare.
