Former President Obama stepped into the Obamacare repeal fight Thursday, rejecting claims that his health law is in a “death spiral” and saying it can thrive — as long as President Trump properly administers it.
“The reality is clear: America is stronger because of the Affordable Care Act,” Mr. Obama said in a statement
Most critically, though, Mr. Obama said his law is not in the dreaded “death spiral” that Republicans and some health executives have said. Under the death spiral, young healthy customers are chased from the marketplace by rising costs, leaving an older, sicker population that then requires even higher premiums and deductibles, spiking prices even higher — and chasing more people from the market.

Was Obama posting from Tahiti or was this released by one of his handlers?
Obamacare is total crap!
Before the jackass invalidated my previous insurance, I was paying $15k/year. The far less than equivalent ACA plan costs $22k/year 2017.
i think he should be deported and hopefully to a prison cell (along with his paymaster SOrozNazi)
they have dona a TON of damage to USA and the American people (also UK, many European countries, Russia, Maylaysia, Macedonia, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Israel, Somalia, etc and etc and etc )
0bama didn't win jack sh!t today.
It's conservatives and patriots who won the battle, because this bill isn't going to pass until it's better.
That God for the steadfast House Freedom Caucus. This legislation will get a vote, when it's been improved to the satisfaction of the Freedom Caucus, and I, for one, am glad about that.
How this can be spun as a victory for 0bama eludes me. 0bamacare is going down, one way or another, of that there can be no doubt.
Why? Because President Trump promised us, that's why, and he's a man of his word...
Was Obama’s statement in French ?
My best friend was paying $900 a month for insurance with a $9000 deductible and her salary was only #34,000 a year.
Obamacare is crap just like its namesake.
The Kenyan can shove his thoughts right up his butt!
If Obamacare is so awesome then why won’t Obongo put HIS family on it?
Obammy won nothing. The only questions is how his legacy will be repealed and replaced.
A guy who can’t tell boys from girls would probably not be the best authority on this . . . or any other topic.
Knowing Washington DC, this will never be eliminated or repealed. It can only be grown. Washington only rewards failure with bigger budgets and more regulatory powers. It certainly avoids efficiencies and reduced costs.
He actually lost.
This bill kept too much of his idiotic plan.
We’re going back to the drawing board, so that less of his plan remains.
That’s a big loss, any way they slice it.
Urkle isn’t the brightest turnip in the patch.
“0bamacare is going down, one way or another”
The repeal of obamacare probably died today.
Ryan should step back and let Rand Paul and Mark Levin try to pass their clean bill.
Yeah double down Odumbo. I’m inclined to let legislation go till this time next year when Odumbocare will be collapsing to the point that no one with two brain cells could deny. Dems will be freaking with mid terms coming up. Then pass something better than what we have today.
Your friend might consider going for a catastrophic option if she’s young enough, and bank the premium difference.
These criminals twisted the laws of this country to f the American people and fill thier pockets with pay to play companies. I hope one day we will see them behind bars
That is like calling a long-track, F5 tornado stable.
It Stinks.
