Actually you are not far off.. the financial destruction of this nation, bolstered by the ACA will continue to destroy the economy of the USA, leading to all out civil war, disease, and eventual mass die off of civilization.
China and Russia are waiting for the weakening, and then will take over.
O'bama has removed over 200 top Generals from the armed forces, in order to allow this decay of defense to allow a takeover.
It may take 10 to 20 yrs. to happen. But it will happen.
Why is it ridiculous? Now follow along... it isn't hard...
You have just passed a law requiring me to purchase a product (Pizza=insurance) from a specific company (Pizza Hut/Pappa John's = BCBS/United). I used to order pepperoni (my old policy) only but now you tell me I must order Supreme (ACA compliant.) I used to pay 20.00 for my pizza (premium). Now I must pay 40.00 for that pizza (new premium). That new pizza is better for me.. more healthy... it has mushrooms (maternity care). I can't eat mushroom's (no need for maternity). If I don't buy this pizza I must now pay a penalty. I also must now pay for your pizza (insurance). Whether you could have afforded it and just weren't buying it or whether you couldn't afford it.. I have no clue. But for the biggest part of the pizza eaters... their cost is now 40.00 dollars (premium) as well. But... they get help from the government (me the taxpayer). They are going to pay 20.00 for their pizza...and the government is going to send 20.00 to pizza hut (BCBS/United) for the other 20.00 for that pizza (insurance). So now... thanks to you... I'm paying 60.00 for a pizza I can't eat.
Guess what.... when that pizza gets up to 80.00 for me.... I'm paying the penalty.. Because I'm not going to eat something that makes me sick....
Well, the country, not me, passed a law requiring all of us to purchase a supreme pizza from Pizza Hut for $40, that will save countless lives from suffering and death yet you whine about having to eat mushrooms. So I'm happy to buy and enjoy the supreme pizza with mushrooms and initially I got irritated hearing you whine about having to eat mushrooms but now I'm enjoying watching you choke down the mushrooms. I'm not so happy about paying the $40 for ACA-compliant pizza either but instead of whining about it, I'll support efforts by people to work on a new UHC-compliant pizza that saves even more lives and brings the cost down to $20. I'm just happy lives will be saved no matter how many crocodile tears you shed eating your supreme pizza and moaning over the mushrooms that you fear will cost $80 instead of doing something to bring down pizza costs for everyone while maintaining taste, which is what everyone in the first world countries does.
Obamacare passed with not a single R voting for it. This is the Democrats' albatross, all the way. And even the National Journal knows that because of that, the Dems are screwed:

"Dem Party is F****d." That was the subject line of an email sent to me Sunday by a senior Democratic consultant with strong ties to the White House and Capitol Hill.

From lefty National Journal, no less...
The fact is more people voted for the president who said he'll implement ACA than for the candidate who said he'll strike it down. The law is the law and you can't have unpasteurized milk no matter how much you cry about it. You have to have mushrooms on your pizza. Now have your supreme pizza with pasteurized milk and enjoy it like the rest of us who don't mind doing our part to improve healthcare in this country. Don't like supreme pizza? Your spoiled brat strategy of holding the country hostage failed bigtime, so do it the time-honored way, vote your R's in to get your old crusty pizzas back.

And they're getting exactly what they deserve. The young and healthy have to subsidize the old and ill, regardless of the fact that they have student loan debt, and middle class families now have $12,000+ annual deductibles. Of course, they are too late in realizing what a disaster Obamacare is, but too bad... they're getting EXACTLY what they deserve. Stupid is as stupid does.
Meanwhile, MORE Americans have ALWAYS been OPPOSED to Obamacare than for it. Proven fact.

Stupid are the people with no alternatives to ACA and all hate. So what how many are opposed to Obamacare. It's the law, and helps people no matter what you say. Young and healthy do pay for those in need, that's the exact definition of insurance, it's stupid not to realize that. Better to have high deductibles than no insurance. It's stupid not to realize that.
Sixty-Eight percent of privately-insured Americans may not be able to keep their current health coverage once Obamacare is fully implemented, despite the president's repeated promises that anyone who wanted to keep their plan would be able to do so, according to a Duke University health expert.
To quote Jon Stewart: "Those who were uninsured before the ACA where told by Republicans that if you like not having a doctor, you can keep not having a doctor."
