    We keep hearing stories about the success of UHC in other countries, as if what works for them will work for us. In my opinion, ONE SIZE FITS ALL health care will never work in the US. Which means UNIVERSAL/FEDERAL healthcare will never work. It would be like having one entity totally responsible for the health care of the entire population of Western Europe (400,000). If that sounds feasible to you, consider the geographic reality.

    Really, people. Are you nuts?

    The regulation and control of health insurance (which is ALL Obamacare is really about) should be done at State levels. Let the Feds fund it, but they sure as hell don't need to RUN it. Right out of the gate, they showed us how inept they are. Why on earth does America want more?

    Defunding Obamacare is no long an option... it's time to REPEAL Obamacare before it takes the middle class down with it.

    Our healthcare system is broken. Therefore, everyone should be forced into it. This is the thinking behind Obamacare.

    This thinking makes about as much sense as seeing a bunch of smoke pouring out of your cars engine and deciding that if you just floor it the problem will be fixed.

    It's time to repeal Obamacare.

    Who is Obamacare popular with? The Medicaid enrollment is up 90% and everybody is trying to get health insurance for free or heavily subsidized. Socialism, period! Without all the free stuff nobody would ever vote for Democrats.

    The problem with people such as yourself, is that you never wanted the law to succeed to begin with, while advocating repeal of a law you have no understanding of. But, ironically in the face of this hate for something you do not understand coming from willful ignorance, and claiming it is a failure, in the meantime it actually is working. http://www.occupydemocrats.com/ari-...-and-republicans-are-losing-the-battle-video/

    Isn't it amazing how some wish for something that is designed to do so much good for so many people, can wish for it to do so badly, only to have the law turn around and start doing well? They are willing to shut down something out of hate for one man, just so the many can continue to go without. I feel sorry for people like you who are that bitter about one person, so as to sacrifice the well being of so many.

    Unfortunately for you, the Dems who passed it didn't understand it either - nor do you.

    It is failing because it is crap legislation forged by politicians who do not have the interests of anyone besides themselves in mind and supported by ignorant hacks that can not see past their own narrow compartmentalized perspectives.

    In the meantime and unfortunately for the sour grape crowd who wish for it to fail, it is working.

    Is there anything fact based that you can use to back up your statement, or is this just an angry rant about a healthcare law a black man put in place that just so happens is working for people who were unable to afford adequate care before, but that they are actually able to now?

    The American healthcare system is designed for those who can afford it. Consequently, those who can not are not considered conservatives and are therefore consigned to hell by Republicans.

    How do I know this?

    I have been a member of this forum for about 8 years, that's how!

    No (*)(*)(*)(*). We have been saying that for years. Remember when the liberals claimed that insuring more people would cost less?

    It is failing because no one knew anything about what was in the bill. Remember we have to pass it to know what's in itThat should have said something but no. The stupid democrats voted for it any way. Even a butthead would have known better..

    Republican hacks supported this crap legislation before the Democratic hacks did in the guise of Romneycare. Again, narrow minded compartmentalize perspectives from partisan hacks that supported legislation crafted by legislators that only care only for themselves.

    People continue to think all levels of government are the same.

    Problem with that is. Not one republican voted for Obamacare. It is all the democrats. Enjoy.

    Yes it does. It changes the fact that the republicans knew better then to vote for a stupid Obamacare bill that no one knew what was in it. The democrats didn't care they lied and lied and lied. Just to get Obama reelected promised affordable healthcare. What did we get? A big headache. topped by more lies. Democrats are all a bunch of liars.

    I guess the answer to my question is no since you ignored my post. You go and put labels on things, but haven't a clue how to back up those labels with real facts. Just angry rants!

    Not really! It looks as if it is going to be working just fine; http://www.occupydemocrats.com/ari-...-and-republicans-are-losing-the-battle-video/ The spin about the democrat lies are coming to an end.

    Again irrelevant. If Romney were elected President and was able to push similar legislation through them there would be wide Republican support.

    Democrats lie but so do Republicans. The very idea that they do any less than Democrats is absurd.

    Your are wrong. Romney care is working. Obama care is not. Romney care didn't cancel thousand of insurance policies. And it was actually affordable and Obama care is NOT.

    To be 'fair and balanced'... ahem, you haven't offered much fact based evidence to support your claims either.

    If that smart mouthed woman, along with the rest of us loved OCare so damned much and begged and pleaded with the Gawdz daily... ALL day would that have made the website work any better? Would the ZeroMan be offering deadline extensions? Would paper apps be lost in the round file? Would the website have just popped up auto-magically with intense security protections?

    I have more questions of the same nature but screw it. It's not the conservatives who pushed this piece of crap out with the promise of dancing elves and peppermint sticks. YOU KNOW who did, knowing in advance the thing was bound to failure.

    Now, snap out of it before the nightmare ninjas invade your sweet dreams.
