What is ObamaCare and why is it so good/bad?

Speaking as someone from the UK, I have no idea what ObamaCare is. Why did Obama create it and why does Trump want to get rid of it?

It's bad for the following reasons:
1) It costs too much and it's structure literally encourages runaway costs.
2) It reduces choice
3) The reduction in choice (#2) has literally led to the abandonment of whole specialties from certain states.
4) Forced to change doctors and plans
5) Rates increases - out of hand.
6) Did I say cost? - it will ultimately bankrupt the economy.
7) it pays bureaucrats - not health care providers... more
8) Finally - it encourages an irresponsible mindset among those utilizing it.

Literally none of your points is true. None of them.

Every one of these statements are true. Those are the facts. I know some of this firsthand. For you to say otherwise means you are incredibly ignorant of the reality, or... you are flat-out dishonest - probably for ideological reasons.

All of that is wrong. But. You keep believing.

I like your disclaimer before anyone even said anything.


Find solid proof of these "facts" and nothing twisted.... and provide it all. Otherwise you are the one full of dishonesty.

That was in response to someone's post. They deleted it - that's their problem.

I'm not going to do the research for you - for what's been provided in open media for years now - example after example and evidence after evidence. Again - you are being defensive. I don't know why but probably because you are in denial of the utter failure of your preferred solution.

but I'll provide just a few... just a few...
It's a complete utter failure. It requires increasing government spending (see the recent budget request); rates are going up (state after state); poor people rate's go up (my brother... by 300%)....

You can believe a lie if you want to, but the rest of us don't need to pay for it.

As I suspected.

You made the claims. It is up to you to provide the proof of your claim.

I know how to read and do research. I do not need to. I have done plenty.

You keep on keeping on dude. Alternate realities are so much easier than the truth for some..I know it is hard.

Sarcasm doesn't improve your argument - it exposes its emptiness.

I'm not making claims, I'm stating what is known. You want me to replicate that on here. That's absurd. You could do this yourself. You won't of course - because that would mean finding the truth.

You obviously know nothing, and if you did do the research - you'd know that what I stated is true.

Are you denying the massive number of rate increases in the various states... the number of state exchanges down to only one provider? Btw, estimates are that both of those will be worse this fall....
... but we don't have to worry, that will be resolved by Congress before the Fall.

Nice pic. Doesn't change the facts on the failure of Obamacare, but... nice pic.

Do you know how to shutup or do you like the taste of your own foot in your mouth.

And now we are at the part where you bring up more about Obama. Did you know he is not president anymore.


Shut up. You have zero to back up what you spew. This conversation is pointless and useless. That would be the purpose of the meme. Apparently you did not grasp that either.

Bye Felicia.

Typical Liberal - loses an argument then blocks you. Can't handle the truth. Not the first time we've seen this.
