Memo to Liberals: ObamaCare Has Been A Boon To Insurers, Not Patients
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 12/2/2014 | IBD Staff

Posted on 12/03/2014 5:05:42 AM PST by IBD editorial writer

Imagine a health reform plan that gives a boost to big insurance companies while leaving patients less able to pay their medical bills. Think progressives would cheer about it? They will if it's called ObamaCare.

I have said from the start that the ACA was all about health insurance, not health care

Ironically enough, the Democrats would have likely won with single payer AKA the public option.

Instead they elected to set up a Rube Goldberg health care system no one understood that offered a porridge of confusing and expensive plans without real coverage for health care consumers.

Democrats were left saddled defending a system that violated every known liberal principle, that was a payoff to Big Insurers and covered fewer people than it did before Obamacare was passed.

If Republicans passed this sort of nonsense, Democrats would rightly have been denouncing them for deceiving and tricking the American people with Health Care Reform In Name Only.

But since they were the authors of it, that sort of thing seemed to them to be politically risible. Until the American people tossed them out of office. No one likes Obamacare, period.

Adolf Hitler & Barack Hussein Obama think exactly alike. Hitler and German business moguls teamed together to make fortunes at the expense and death of the German people and military.

Obama and the medical insurance companies are doing the exact same thing!!! Obamacare must be repealed or changed drastically......the middle class and poor people of America are getting ripped of badly, across the board!!!

Totalitarians with their socialization of risk - insurance toadies…the overlords of a doctor and a patient.

Remember that failing is a design feature of Obamacare: it’s supposed to be screwed up so that people will demand single payer.

The insurance companies got bought off with the individual mandate in a classic “capitalists will sell you the rope you hang them with” play. Had they come out against Obamacare it would have died even more spectacularly then Hillarycare did. But they were too stupid-greedy and arrogant to see where Obamacare was leading them.

Been telling everyone that forever.

All those ‘subsidies’ ... they go straight from the US Treasury to the insurance company. And they love it.

Best way to find a democrat is to follow the money trail.
