Anyone could have predicted that the signature achievement of "great leader" would implode. Now it is happening with costs through the ceiling and and unmitigated exodus of insurance companies and doctors from accepting the poorly conceived plan.

Thanks Obama. Looks like more time on the 13th hole for you flim flam man.

Liberals will use this for justification for single-payer.

...which was probably the original intention of Obamacare.

Ding ding. And from someone who has been on the inside for 25 years. Medicare for everyone was always the right thing to do. Just couldn't get it past Congress. I could tell you stories that would leave you running to the polls to vote for non-profit single payer.

The original intention was to make the president look good and they sold an old car with no clutch to the American people. Now deeply flawed and characteristically un-courageageous he walks off the stage the same way he came in....inexperienced and black 1st and the president 2nd. WPE

Just wait..... Some Obama supporter will be here shortly blaming this epic failure on Republicans not cooperating to get it passed. Happens every time.

Obama legacy = ACA Failure

Nope. You don't like the way Obamacare turned out? Talk to congress and the lobbyists from UHC, Aetna, and Humana. If you are bored, check out the salaries, bennies and stock options their top dogs make. Lots more than the president.

Look, I consulted for one of these companies. It wasn't pretty. All they ever talked about was costs. The best part was where they discussed disciplining doctors if they admitted ( to an inpatient bed , until placement could be found ) grannies who had been dumped at the ER by their families, but didn't have anything medically wrong with them other than senility.

At least I was paid well. That's our mantra these days, right?

You have to sleep with yourself ultimately.

It's not UHC Aetna et all. I know these bastards backwards and forwards. Every one has to see Jesus for themselves....

Paid well? Gosh was that what is was about for you? Shame.

I guess your bitterness and sarcasm meter is off. Please carry on beating up the guy in the whitehouse who was trying to do the right thing.

Just FYI, I quit that job.

Trump is going to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a single-payer system.
