For almost six long years now I and so many others have been pointing out what a dreadful idea the Affordable Care Act was from the very beginning. It was insane (Nancy Pelosi!) to think any legislation that would impact more than 20% of our economy – and affect the health of every single American – should be passed before we could find out what was in it.
Once the Democrats did pass it (without a single Republican vote mind you) we surely did find out what they had shoved down out throats: substandard, unaffordable healthcare for all but the wealthy. And despite the fact that President Obama kept making unconstitutional changes to the Act (revising deadlines and eligibilities, waiving various requirements, etc.), it remained a disaster. As I said back in October 2015 ~
Like a festering wound, the longer Obamacare goes untreated the worse it gets. None of the propaganda the progressives parroted to get the Affordable Care Act passed has turned out to be true. None. In fact it’s been just the opposite; you couldn’t keep your doctor or your insurance company no matter how much you liked them, and premiums are increasingly unaffordable…
As time goes on we learn more and more the extent of the deceit the O’Ministration employed to ram this legislation through. Remember GruberGate? Fox News’ Tucker Carlson spoke with con-man Jonathan Gruber last evening and basically got him to concede that the law was never supposed to help everybody. Gruber smugly admits that the health-care law he helped design hurt many Americans on purpose; that it deliberately picked winners and losers ~

Obamacare is unconstitutional, unfair and fiscally and physically unhealthy. The fact that it was passed with such devious intentions is the final straw. It’s got to go.
[And most Americans agree.]
“It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good disposition.”
~ Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 19 August 1785
