If A Liberal Tries To Insist That Obamacare Is Working, Please Show Them This.

Did y’all catch the latest report on Obamacare from the non-partisan CBO?

In a word, it sucks.

SURPRISE!

But if you want details, let’s break it down by remembering how this started. It was sold, HARD, by Obama as an “Affordable” healthcare system – one which would lower costs significantly, improve healthcare services, and finally allow millions and millions of people to have insurance, while at the same time allow anyone who was happy with their current plan and doctor to keep that plan and doctor.

Remember that? Good times.

From the getgo, those of us with Actual Brains knew it could never work as Obama claimed, because Obama lies and doesn’t understand math. I mean, I hate math too, but I’m not trying to plan the lives of everyone in a whole country based on it, soooooo……

Anyway, we quickly saw just how significant the lies were. You couldn’t keep your plan, and you couldn’t keep your doctor, and the cost of healthcare for EVERYONE has gone up, not down. Insurers are pulling out of exchanges left and right, which means that access to care has worsened for many many people. And yet, inexplicably, Democrats continue to laud Obamacare as if it somehow saved the planet.

Newsflash, liberals. You don’t get to be all, “YAAAAAAAAAAAY!” when people enroll in a plan that they are LEGALLY REQUIRED TO ENROLL IN. And the fact that so many people have opted to pay the fine INSTEAD of enrolling is simply further evidence that Obamacare isn’t worth the expense.

So, according to the most recent figures from the CBO, Obamacare is set to enroll “significantly fewer people than expected in 2016…” And when they say significant, they mean a 40% decline from last year’s enrollment prediction, y’all. Ask yourself this: If you were off on your sales or budget predictions at your employer by nearly HALF, would your employer keep you and praise your success?

Yeah. They wouldn’t. You’d be fired.

Even the New York Times is facing reality:

When the Affordable Care Act was drafted, the Congressional Budget Office expected people to sign up quickly for new health insurance. Now, two years into the law, it’s clear that progress is going to be slower. The Obama administration acknowledged as much in late 2014, and again in October, when it presented its own modest predictions. Monday, the budget office also agreed, slashing its 2016 estimate by close to 40 percent…It has proved harder to spread the word about new health insurance, and harder yet to persuade people to shell out money for new health insurance they hadn’t had in their household budgets… The budget office’s estimates for future years won’t be released until March, but it seems reasonable to assume they will also come down.

Yet, as the sourcelink points out, Hillary Clinton is busying herself criticizing Bernie Sanders about his plans to move to a single payer system, saying there’s no reason to scrap Obamacare and start from scratch. Because, you see, “It’s working.”

If that’s Hillz’s idea of a successful program, just imagine the damage she’ll do once she’s president.
