From here:
I continue to believe, and [I am] absolutely convinced, that at the end of the day, people are going to look back at the work we’ve done to make sure that in this country you don’t go bankrupt when you get sick, that families have that security,” Obama said. “That is going be a legacy I am extraordinarily proud of.”
Uh, right. Except:
- The insane premiums resulting from mandatory participation in the crooked system (plus the coverage mandates and other misfeatures that raise prices still further) mean a lot of families, if they actually sign up and pay the premiums, will have trouble eating.
- Obamacare fails in any way to address the real illness-to-bankruptcy path, which runs via loss of income.
- By the way: if you get sick and lose your income? Guess what else you lose if you can't keep up the premiums.
The happy-shiny is all image, so the ruling class can feel good about itself. The reality is that, once again, the working class gets the short end of the stick. And, if you get seriously sick and don't have a large cash reserve (and good luck building one while paying big bucks for your health-plan premiums), you'll end up bankrupt.
