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.

Lynn Christensen that’s like burying your head in the sand. like it or not, or just plain refuse to “see”, the facts remain the same.
yes charles, i think that some of the money thats paid by americans or the penalty for no insurance goes to helping the refugees, i think so, can you all iamgine tge thousands or millions of dollar that are brought in by many many americans that have to pay the penalty cuz they cant afford insurance, guess that was the dumbocrats idea (obama n hillary, pelosi , warren) to help out the refugees, hopefully sooner or later they are going to realize that president trump was right all the way along. all we have to do is let it take its course.
There you go!
so sorry… hurting so many I know, as well.
Be careful what you wish for. I believe they will pusue Universal Health for everyone paid for by us…The working American….. Government healthcare is rationed healthcare. It has failed in every Nation that has it.
If there is no tax penalty, everyone should bail out. Open the free market.
Lynn Christensen “so to whom much is given much is expected”.
Of their own free will, not from government force.
Not one republican voted for obamacare!
