National Public Radio collaborated with Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to survey Americans’ recent experience with health care. As to the Affordable Care Act, the survey’s findings are damning. They suggest that Obamacare has been worse than a complete waste of money.

This is the survey’s only question directly on Obamacare. Most respondents say that Obamacare hasn’t affected them; where it has affected them, most say the law’s impact has been harmful:

The promises that President Obama made about the ACA–cheaper premiums! lower co-pays and deductibles! better coverage!–have completely failed to materialize. This isn’t a surprise, of course, but it is nice to see it so copiously documented:

Obamacare is a complete failure, much like it’s namesake.

Besides the huge cost, I’d like to know how many lives it cost so far.

Depends on what the goal was. They were told this was the likely outcome. They lied about everything else. It’s not a stretch to think the goal was to destroy the system to replace it with a government system.

At the very least they had 2 possible outcomes (goals) they liked

1) ACA succeeds and everyone is covered
2) Total disaster and government has to swoop in with single-payer

Gruber should be hanging from a lamppost

He’s a symbol for everything that’s wrong with American governance — Arrogant insider whose only pride is in efficacy of his schemes to promote a political agenda and get rich in the process, regardless of the negative effects on real people.

Of course it’s a failure. That was the plan all along.

Now for the push for single payer (full Communism.)

Depends on what you define the real purpose of ObamaCare as being.

Govt is at about 67% control of healthcare $$ now (Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Tri-Care, etc) so it’s not a big leap from here.

It was never meant to succeed. It was meant to drive people toward single-payer, socialized medicine.
