It’s been over 15 years since Democrats passed Obamacare under the promise that it would make healthcare affordable. Americans were supposed to save money, keep their doctors, and finally get a system that worked for them instead of the big insurance companies.Today, those promises look like a sick joke.
A recent post shared by our sister site Twitchy highlights how the Obamacare boondoggle really works, and why it doesn’t actually work for the people. Instead, it was built to enrich the healthcare industry, and the numbers prove it. Let me give you a rundown of how it works, if you can stomach learning how the sausage is made.

And when you confront a Dem with the fact that Obamacare did not deliver as promised, you get a "so what" look back from them. They value intentions over results.

Democrats have sold us out. A middle class earner pays about $350 a month for Obamacare, about what they paid for similar coverage before Obamacare. But the insurance companies get paid another $1,000 a month in subsidies from the government. That's a $24,000 per person, per year, gift Democrats have arranged for their friends in the healthcare industry. Democrats have sold us out.

Correction, $12,000 a year gift, still an outrageous amount. Multiply that by millions, that's what demoncrats have arranged for us.

Obamacare has been disgusting since the day that the Zero administration put up the website created by Michelle's college friend and it crashed like a paper airplane. The insurance industry and the medical industries employ millions of people who saw their incomes rise at the expense of real working people and voted accordingly. Way back in 2010 anybody with a brain could see that it was the beginning of socialized medicine meant to connect those industries to the deadbeats at the expense of the taxpayers. Not being concerned about income because the "government" was paying, those industries raised their prices through the roof. The step that will begin the correction will be to dismantle Obamacare completely and let the industries revert to the crippled system that was in place before Obama and begin the repair from there.

These insurance companies should be made to lower their premiums to what they were before obamacare.

I remember when Justice John Roberts designated ObamaCare a Tax and when the evil John McCain gave US the thumb down.
Obamacare must be abolished while we have a few independent doctor offices left. This is in spite of the failure of the American Doctors, all of them, that brought us the highest COVID deaths rates in the World.

Our hospital Leviathans are also the largest "net absorbers" of H-1 Visa workers, and are employed as Med Techs, Nurses, even Doctors(!)... I even had one middle-aged Indian male whose sole job was pushing wheel-chair bound patients around the facility (and, yes, he still sucked at that!). To that point, don't tell me hospitals can't hire, inexpensively, local high-school boys to push wheelchairs around a building!
These "questionably trained" H-1 visa medical workers help the Corporations drive down salaries of entry-level workers and salary expectations of experienced healthcare professionals. It also drives down morale and hope in the American dream. Recessions begin with a loss of faith in the "American Dream," yet the economy "booms" when hope is recovered. Besides, don't the U.S. Chamber of Commerce / DNC / "Liberal Inc." understand that the countries, wherefrom these workers were "poached," also need them in their own hospitals? Such are the despicable money-grubbing slugs who have no respect for their fellow red-blooded Americans... and don't even get me started on American corporations who hire foreign CEO's to oversee American companies and workers!
Each time I overnight in a hospital, regardless of hospital "chain," the results are still the same, the third-shift, aka, "graveyard shift" are what I refer to as the, "U.N. Shift," with some of them not easily understood due to their poor command of the English language. It's also damned creepy to be awakened at 3 AM in your dark room by a lurking, dark, shadowy figure leaning over you with hypodermic in hand, yet, when asked, is unable to articulate/annunciate what it is she's putting in you. When this happened to me, I remember thinking how I might die without ever knowing what I had "been overdosed on!"
Hospitals (and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce) will all say, "We simply can't obtain enough qualified healthcare workers domestically, so we must seek them outside the U.S." That statement is simply a LIE. All professions know that bringing in foreign workers is designed to accomplish ONE thing, namely, reduce wages, which is why U.S. Labor Unions historically fought Federal Immigration Quota increases, and work permitting visas for decades, until Barack Hussein Obama strong-armed them to, "Get in-line, or else."

No surprise madman speaker Puyucklosi scuttled out of the house with her portfolio hoping to hide under a rock as the spotlight shine on corruption. I hope she will know true justice when this is all settled

FTA: "...it was built to enrich the healthcare industry."
Not true.
ACA, or Obamacare or Barry-care, was a bait and switch alright but not to benefit the health insurance industry. The real goal was to use ACA as an on-ramp to a single-payer health insurance system controlled solely by the state. Consequently, everyone would be at the perpetual mercy of the state for their health care. The marxist architects of ACA knew this from the beginning. They couldn't care less about making health care affordable. It was yet another means of power and control of those pesky serfs.

When your 'leaders' hang up 'For Sale' signs, don't be surprised when people take advantage of the 'opportunity'. They don't have the money for this and at the same time have made everyone dependent on them. Look at all the calls to end the shutdown. It cannot last forever. Do not call this governing.

One thing not mentioned in the article was that on day one Obamacare dog robbed Medicare to make it look like Obamacare didn’t need subsidies. Obamacare has never been self sustaining. Yet another lie.
