Obamacare as it is was never sustainable over the long run. Plus there is the problem of too many low income illegals, immigrants and refugees with their large families to cover. And not being able to force the young healthy people to pay into the insurance system.

And so many Americans are living an unhealthy lifestyle and being obese. Still way too many cigarette smokers too.
"The only way that it worked was because of the government subsidies that over the years was going to be pulled back."

Let's NOT ignore ALL the deferments, at least a couple hundred I believe, Obama gave to mostly the unions in order to buy their votes.

Oh, wait the dems DID do 1 thing, "On December 18, Congress gave employers and insurers an early Christmas present when, as part of an Omnibus Spending Bill, they amended the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to include a two-year delay of the much-maligned excise tax, aka the “Cadillac tax.”

"Generally speaking, Democrats dislike the tax because they feel it unfairly penalizes labor unions and populous states in the west and northeast."

An interesting chart. So he was there in Congress up until he announced he was running for President, and when he embarked on the campaign trail he started missing roll call votes. Because it's impossible for someone to be in two places at the same time???
