Medicare/Medicaid/Competition - cited--not Obamacare

Obamacare responsible?

Republicans cutting off noses to spite faces by not expanding Medicaid perhaps. Reimbursement rates for Medicare have been a mess long before Obamacare.

This article didn't even prove itself true, not to mention the overall premise.

This is serendipitous in retrospect, but as bad as - it is, at least people are waking

His poll numbers continue to tank. More than likely, they'll continue to decline when people realize they've been grubered.

Very one-sided article. nm - Rosie

'Job-killing' Obamacare Actually CreatedApr 19, 2017
"The anti-Obamacare crowd has been trying to torture job statistics almost from the inception to try to justify their job-killer meme. As part of their campaign, they’ve claimed that the law has pushed more Americans into part-time work, since the mandate requiring employers to provide employees with coverage won’t apply to part-timers.  Right-wing billionaire Charles Koch floated this claim via USA Today in 2014 and Andy Puzder, the CEO of the Carl’s Jr. and Hardee&r ...

Hospitals Should NOT Hire DoctorsSep 18, 2016

Obamacare Is Failing From Behind... His Goals For ObamacareJul 20, 2016
1) Have it collapse so that single payer can be implemented amidst the ensuing chaos. 2) Have that happen on somebody else’s watch. Obamacare was designed to fail so the Democrats could “reform” it with complete government provided socialized medicine. That is the entire purpose for it. Obamacare is designed to collapse so they can backfill the vacuum with government run socialized medicine. Eventually, everyone will be on some form of Medicare. I believe that was one of Bernie’ ...
