Media should be holding Obama and the Democrats accountable for the damage this law has done to America's health care system, to the job market, to the family budget of millions of Americans
Will Obamacare Collapse Before Obama Leaves Office?
Obamacare has turned out to be a massive boondoggle for the American people, despite the media's consistent attempts to cover up this law's failures. After all, to disparage Obamacare is to tarnish President Obama's legacy. But as Marc Thiessen, a former George W. Bush speechwriter, points out in a recent opinion piece for The Washington Post, Obamacare's, and therefore Obama's, enduring domestic legacy will do "more to discredit big government than 1,000 Reagan speeches ever did."
The typical mainstream media playbook stipulates that all opposition to liberal policies must be reported as originating with Republicans or conservatives. Thus, The Hill recently cast opposition to Obamacare as Republican presidential partisanship. "Health insurance companies are laying the groundwork for substantial increases in ObamaCare premiums, opening up a line of attack for Republicans in a presidential election year," wrote Peter Sullivan for The Hill.
