Default Insurance people HATE Obamacare
The insurers don't like it.

Mods: The intent of this thread is not political. It is to show corruption in our Government. I would have posted the same thing if Nancy Reagan had done this, so I am not singling out any politician, political party, or political philosophy. It's the same as asking if Ronadl Reagan had dementia while acting as President: No comment on his political leanings, just whether he was fit to serve.

The agents hate it. They saw their commissions get chopped and they are doing substantially more work.

My Doctor and all the HC professionals I know hate it.

And any rational being who can do basic math and understand simple economics understands it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Just like Medicare part B.

Just so i can be fair and trash both parties.

Didn't seem to be enough. Many people/industries voiced their displeasure. It was still pushed through.

In Kalifornia alone 8 million people lost their HC insurance because of this and most of them have decided to go back to Mexico.

I'm still trying to gauge the intent of this ACA deal. Is it to generate revenue for the federal government?

Is it the administration's mechanism of paying back the lobbyists and special interests groups that helped put (and keep) Obama in office?

It's about complete control. History is doomed to repeat itself if we don't study it. remember how Hitler took control?

Ultimately this is just a stepping stone to a single payer system.

The idea is to create a system that everyone hates so much that the demand for a single payer system would be overwhelming.
