Pollak: Barack Obama Never Learned Anything from Obamacare’s Failures
Breitbart ^ | 03/10/2020 | Joel B Pollak

Posted on 03/10/2020 7:25:55 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

President Barack Obama released a video on Monday ahead of the 10th anniversary of the signing of Obamacare, celebrating it as “the closest we’ve ever come to universal coverage in America.”

In truth, Obamacare expanded access to health insurance, primarily for the working poor, but at a massive cost to middle-class budgets. It also changed American politics for the worse, turning it into a zero-sum game in which compromise is nearly impossible.

Learned nothing - but forgot nothing either, when it came to slings and arrows sent his way.

Nobody was ever treated so badly, to hear him describe his tribulations.

Some 95% of all personal woe is in some way self-induced.

Of course not. He, like all of the other elites in our government, don’t use it.

Because it was designed to fail, to facilitate socialized medicine.

The title could have stopped at “Barak Obama Never Learned Anything.” Other than his color, affirmative action and the gift of scripted gab, the guy didn’t really have all that much going for him.

He's a socialist. Like all socialists, he's a product of ideology, not knowledge and learning.

He's one of the true believers in "reality is what you want it to be." Why should he want to learn about "your" reality?

Obama was never eligible.

Obama is not a natural born citizen.

Obama was born a British subject /Kenyan national and later added Indonesian citizenship.

Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they could not possibly be anything else.

All children of foreign nationals are born with foreign nationality.

obamacare did not fail it succeeded in doing what it was designed to to fail. It was never meant to be successful.

More generally, Obamacare enshrined the idea of a safety net for health insurance. Many conservatives argued, in principle, against making individuals more dependent on government, and in favor of private sector solutions.

That's just wrong. We've had several safety nets for a long time.

Medicaid started more than 50 years ago and hospitals have been required to provide treatment regardless of ability to pay since 1986.

By the way, what are those private sector solutions that haven't caught on in 50 years?

In his video, he praises Obamacare supporters: “There are people alive today because of what you did.”

Not only does that statement ignore the fact that Obamacare put millions of Americans at risk by canceling their existing insurance, but it also casts opposition to the law as murder.

Murder, Joel? What a snowflake.

Drama queen much?

Worst "President", maybe.

Worst "politician" is not something you can attribute to Obama if the measurement is winning.

The man served two terms as President and won both popular and electoral college vote both times. Call him what you will, but similar to Bill Clinton, the man knew how to win and in that respect he was a good politician.

Ah yes, memories.
Keep your doctor, keep your plan (nope).
Streamlined savings, better care (Yeah, right. Still waiting for that $2500 check in the mail).
Nancy Landon Kassebaum and the Billion dollar website (that didn’t work. Last time I logged in, they were “serving number fourteen”).

In fairness to Obama we were nearly there anyway.
