The bill was a turkey that was passed over the objections of the majority because it was more important to have a political win for Obama and the Dems than it was to actually govern.
Just because you see a good outcome for yourself does not mean there will be a good outcome for everybody, or even for the majority.
I'm waiting for the insurance companies to announce the rates for 2015 in a couple months, if the increase is what some are predicting there will be blood on the walls down at the DNC come November.
Unless of course, the Administration bails them out. |
The interesting thing is that when the polls ask people questions about the different parts of Obamacare without calling it that most people tend to agree with what it does. There are still some sticking points like the mandate, but overall many people like the idea of it. The problem was/is the execution. I think Obama assumed it would come out, 30 million people would sign up and it would be a huge victory for him. As it turns out, only a fraction of the uninsured have signed up (not fully his fault, many states are not cooperating), the process has sucked and they have not done a very good job of explaining how it works.
Obama's sad reality is that his promotion of it and the democrats rolling it out has paled in comparison to multi-million dollar anti-Obamacare ad campaign the republicans have rolled out.
