We should have all known that when Pelosi said ‘you’ll see what’s in it when we pass it”...that we’d get a big fat nothing burger?
As a self-employed person subject to pay directly for its mandate, ObamaCare is many things, but it is not a "nothing burger".
My high-deductible policy in Texas now costs just over $14,000/year. The IBD report says that BC/BS have filed for a 50% increase over that for next year. Before ObamaCare kicked in, I was paying about half the current the premium for similar coverage, though I admit that my over-50 wife and I now receive "free" birth control and pediatric dentistry coverage that we didn't have under the the old policy.
ObamaCare is not a "nothing burger": It is a trainwreck that was designed to fail forward to either Britain-style socialized medicine or Canadian-style single payer.
It makes no sense for contraception to be free - no copays - while patients have copays for insulin and heart medications.

there’s another quote where he says it may take 20 years but that is the ultimate plan.
