Obama Care

They call it "Obama Care", not "The Affordable Care Act".  Do you wonder why?

They say it's because it costs too much.  Obama's a big spender compared to who, George Bush?  Two wars and no payments made yet.  Of course we already pay more than any other nation and fail to provide coverage for 50 Million of our citizens.

They say that private enterprise can and will do better.  Well, have they?  Have you seen any evidence that we are about to add those 50 Million uninsured to the rolls and improve coverage so that those on the rolls have outcomes that match the costs?  You can guess that the answer will continue to be negative.

My guess is that for those against the Affordable Health Care Act it's about two things.  One is that the Insurance Industry would actually have to work at providing real health results to protect it's profits.  Sick people would have to be helped, a radical idea for most Insurance Companies.  The second, and more difficult to address, is that it was enacted by a Democratic Party led by a college professor, a pointy headed intellectual, from a middle class background who, by the way, is black.

Yes, what I think is that the Anti-ObamaCare noise is really about class and race.

Many who say they want private business to shoulder the health care load would happily embrace the Affordable Care Act if it had been passed by a Republican Congress and President.  After all this is the plan put forth be the Heritage Foundation (a conservative think tank) and by Mitt Romney when he was the Governor of Massachusetts.
