President Barack Obama said his signature health-care law has “real problems” that have been exacerbated by congressional gridlock and political polarization.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has pledged to repeal Obamacare if he wins election in November. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has said she would fix it.
The Affordable Care Act is under strain after an exodus of major health-insurance companies from government-run marketplaces called exchanges, as well as large rate hikes in many states. Minnesota’s commerce commissioner, Mike Rothman, said on Friday that he would allow insurers selling individual plans in the state to raise their prices by at least 50 percent next year after the near “collapse” of its market for individual coverage.

Another good reason to vote for Trump!

Republicans and insurance companies making sure it fails.

Overrated healthcare plan by the most overrated president of all time.

not that hard to implement, take $1 trillion that is currently given away in bribes/cough cough donations/foreign aid and fund health care for those who are unemployed or underemployed.

It's works here in the UK and Australia. It's probably the best thing ever created in the UK. If it's failing it's being done deliberately and sabotaged.

How and by whom? Seeing that it's Obama bozos running it.

Anything with the word "Obama" attached to it is going to have problems. Big problems.

Well no shit. Obamacare is exactly as fucked as lot of people predicted it would be...probably more.
The people that were in touch with reality predicted exactly what was going to happen with this pile of shit.
Obama will probably blame everything on pajama boy. That's what he does, makes bad decisions and then shifts the blame to someone else.

Socialist plans usually get off to a good start. It's the ending that's the problem:

I can recall hearing about the wonders of the "Free" healthcare in Canada, as well. Could you imagine how bad it would be if people didn't have the option of heading south?

In this post you will read a completely random combination of sentences that are in no way related to each other.
From the BBC article...
"Professor John Appleby, chief economist at the King's Fund, which specialises in health care policy, said: "The next government will inherit a health service that has run out of money and is operating at the very edge of its limits."
A quote that has been attributed to Margaret Thatcher...
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

Obama care was put in place to muddy the waters. Bernie Sanders was put on tour to get Millennials hearing the word socialism over and over and not thinking it's a bad thing but a good thing. After Obama care will be full blown socialized medicine and massive tax hikes across the board...And the millennials will be glad to see it come. Massive debt is something they are use to and really don't give a fuck about. If they think they're getting "Free" health care, they'll look at it as a positive...The tracks are being laid for it to all go down...
It's not like this thing is going to magically start reversing itself regardless who's in office. It's game over. America is gone...

So they force people to buy health insurance, fine you if you don't, allow insurers to raise prices at will and some sheeple still think this is a solid plan.

Bill Clinton calls Obamacare 'the craziest thing in the world'
Tue October 4, 2016
Speaking Monday at a Democratic rally in Flint, Michigan, the former president ripped into the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for flooding the health care insurance market and causing premiums to rise for middle-class Americans who do not qualify for subsidies.
"So you've got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have health care and then the people who are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. It's the craziest thing in the world," Clinton said.

Insurance companies getting paid anything they want under laws saying you have to pay them. That's not socialism. It's the opposite of socialized medicine. It's legislated capitalism. Not sure how but some of you seem confused about that.
As with all things 'bama it's a bad joke and it's been played on you.

If it's such a great deal for the Insurance Companies why are they all pulling out?

I'm no finance expert but I'd speculate it has something with money, think? Maybe their gravy train is going to get slowed down since everyone is shitty about the cost of their health insurance.
Point being: It's not socialism. People keep saying it's socialism. It's the complete and total opposite of a government run socialized medicine program.
I don't even want to debate if socialism is better or worse. It's just blowing my mind that so many people are saying "See! It's that damn socialism! Told ya!"
"You just want a free lunch!"
"He made it like England!"
"Damn Commyounizims!"
Just O. M. G.

Why would the liberal CNN leak this story? Wink
I think Bill did this INTENTIONALLY.
leftist dems are already voting Hillary no matter what.
MODERATES who hate obamacare - like most of us hate it - suddenly see hillay as more viable - trump is a basketcase that might start WW3 on a dare... but he did promise to end obamacare.
Now undecideds get a wink from team clinton that there's hope....
coordinated move. Repubs that repeat this story are playing into the liberals plan to recruit undecided modeates that fear trump but hate obamacare.

What could go wrong when government runs health care? People can't afford the monthly bill so every year they lose more of their tax return as a penalty. I wonder if people realize the penalty goes up every year? People are paying over a $1000 a month for insurance that has outrageous deductibles so it's worthless unless you end up in the hospital.
This is how it will be fixed. Keep insurance for kids till they are 26. Keep the provision for insuring pre existing conditions. Make having insurance voluntary. If you make under a certain amount the federal government will pay a subsidy on a sliding scale dependent on income and dependents to assist if you want to pay for insurance. This could all be printed on 5 pages of paper instead of the massive Obama care plan.
Does anyone realize this country is on the verge of financial collapse and Obama care is adding is a massive contribution to the problem?

Every government program is hemorrhaging money and pretty much everything they touch is rife with waste, corruption and just general mismanagement.
I have no idea why in the hell some people think it's a good idea to put them in charge of healthcare. The evidence is out on Obamacare and still some people refuse to acknowledge it.
