Three Years of Broken Promises (radical, Barack Obama, insurance, cost)

[Roadking2003]

Of course, many of us didn't believe our "Liar in Chief" from the beginning.

"The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, turned three years old this week. But unlike fine wine, the ACA is not getting better with age. A torrent of recent studies and reports has provided new evidence — as if we needed more confirmation — that nearly everything we were told about this law was untrue. ...

At the same time, the CBO has raised, from 4 million Americans to 7 million, its estimate of the number of workers who will be dumped from their employers’ health plans and forced into the exchanges. "

Actually, you have it backwards. The number of people with health insurance coverage has been growing.

Might have been a step forward if it addressed the uninsured and reducing costs. Since it only attempts to address access, costs will increase, which will only change who the uninsured are and not likely how many there are - and increase cost for everyone who is covered.

All other developed nations have universal care, at half the cost we pay per capita on average, and almost all with better (medical) outcomes than we have. It can be done, there are more than 30 models around the world, but PPACA is not going to get us there...sadly.

It has? Looks pretty much flat or slightly declining long term...

And CDC page 4 paints an even worse picture, showing an increase in those without

I'd consider Kaiser & CDC to be among the best sources.

Your usual response. You can't refute the facts so you attack the source.

Depends on how you cherry pick your numbers.
