Obamacare was intended to be the first step to a government run national health insurance system. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, with all the Congressional Democrats following their lead in lock step like lemmings, foisted this government mandated and partially government run insurance monstrosity on the American people. The promise they made was that Obamacare would make health insurance more available and more affordable while allowing insureds to retain their current doctors and plans. It didn’t take the American people long to discover that these promises were lies. In spite of losing the House, the Senate and the Presidency at least in part due to the American people’s dissatisfaction with Obamacare, the Democrats still cling to it on the pretense that is has provided coverage to millions who were previously uninsured. Of course all of the increase in the number of insureds has come through the expansion of Medicaid which could have been done as a standalone piece of legislation without ever having needed to pass Obamacare.
