Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic party cohorts are flailing against the likelihood that Obama’s signature screw-up, ObamaCare, will be repealed
As Dilbert creator Scott Adams notes, apparently on the advice of the satire site, the Onion, they have adopted the fighting words “Make America Sick Again”.
Actually Obama and his party, with the aid of what Instapundit has dubbed “democratic operatives with bylines” continue to make me sick of their lies and distortions of truth.
As for the death of ObamaCare, if past is prologue -- and with these folks it is -- we can expect the press will flood us with sob stories, because in a nation chock full of feelers, emotive accounts are more compelling than economics and logic. Remember when they were working our heartstrings to get it passed?
Congresswoman Louise Slaughter probably deserved a blue ribbon for her tale of a constituent who couldn’t afford dentures and had to use her dead sister’s as an example of why we needed ObamaCare (which incidentally doesn’t include dental coverage).
Sob stories are not the only way Obama’s administration “contorts reality “and masks” “the consequences of its initiatives” says Victor Davis Hanson in an article well worth reading in its entirety.
After outlining its many deceits, Hanson says why they do this:

America got Obamacare because the GOP refused for several decades to fix our healthcare system.
If we just repeal Obamacare, we bring back the mess we had before it.
Trump has said, repeatedly:
Repeal and REPLACE.
October 4, 2016
Bill Clinton has blasted President Obama’s signature piece of legislation — ObamaCare — as “the craziest thing in the world.”
“You’ve got this crazy system where all of a sudden, 25 million more people have health care, and then the people who are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half and it’s the craziest thing in the world,” the former president railed at a rally in Michigan on Monday.
Clinton also said the system is hurting moderately successful small businesses — ones that aren’t doing poorly enough to be subsidized and fall just above the line.
“On the other hand, the current system works fine if you’re eligible for Medicaid, if you’re a lower-income working person, if you’re already on Medicare or if you get enough subsidies on a modest income that you can afford your health care,” Clinton said.
“But the people getting killed in this deal are the small-business people and individuals who make just a little bit too much to get any of these subsidies,” he added. ...”

What we had before this colossal failure,was infinitely better than this.
What needs to be fixed is to get the government out of the way.
I will admit there are a lot of people on this site, saying things similar to what you are saying.
I think however, Trump seems to have the good approach.
Do not bring back what we had before. That was ALSO a mess. We need to fix our healthcare system.
Not bring back the mess we had before, the current mess.
:D
We also need tort reform and some method of discouraging people from running to the emergency room for free health care for minor conditions such as colds.
Obamacare did not address *any* of the many problems of our healthcare system, and did not achieve much beyond tripling the cost of health insurance.
Cultural marxists cling to their political correctness, and do not take responsibility for anything they have done. It is all about power.

So do you think the Republicans should have agreed on Hillary Care in 1993 or there about?
The architect said point blank that the stupid American people bought it, 2500 pages of lies and deception lawyer ease that our political criminals swore by but never read it. This what they are protecting once again. These are truly evil humans
You are correct that if it's just repealed it will bring the mess again.
It must be repealed and replaced with something better.
They sure are.
Frankly I think our healthcare system has been designed to make a whole lot of people, very rich.
It is the most expensive system on earth, and leaves millions without coverage.
What the heck, is the use of such a system? The GOP had the chance to fix it already. They did diddly squat.
Obama did something.
The answer to what he did, is not to go back to the huge mess, that the GOP didn’t do anything about the last time.
We had a problem, because the GOP had not fixed things when they had the chance.
They had not fixed things.
If we just throw Obamacare out, we go back to that mess. Not even close, to a solution.
Just saying...
Replace it with nothing. Problem solved.
I disagree.
We had that system already. The GOP stood on the sidelines, and let the system throw millions of people out of coverage.
Not a solution, at all.
Tort reform is what the right has been pushing forever. And it is still needed. Loser pays is a good approach. There has to be some punishment for bringing about a frivolous lawsuit.
I wonder if they realize that standing by that sign says so much more than they intended - making America sick has been their agenda and it’s what they intend/hope for with their sick and corrupt “leadership”.
First, nobody is denied service in our system. You show up at the emergency entrance with a true emergency and you will get treated.
Second, it's expensive because of the enormous cost of frivolous lawsuits and hyper-regulations on the part of the government.
Third, people have a choice as to whether they will be covered or not. If you choose the lazy welfare lifestyle, you likely won't be buying coverage and you will be a burden on the system, causing costs to rise for the rest of the country that has chosen to pay their own way in life.
