2. Actually Obama care is doing exactly what it was designed to do. It is a stop gap measure who’s planned failures are designed to push this country into single payer government controlled socialised medical care. Granted it won’t happen during the Trump presidency, but let’s face it…as soon as he’s gone and the Dems are back in charge the move to a single payer system will be right back on track.

     Elizabeth Warren: ‘The Next Step Is Single-Payer’ Health Care
     Seattle Times | June 27, 2017 | Andrew Breiner

     Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Tuesday that opposing the Republican health-care bill wasn’t enough and the Democratic Party should start running on a new national single-payer plan. “President Obama tried to move us forward with health-care coverage by using a conservative model that came from one of the conservative think tanks that had been advanced by a Republican governor in Massachusetts,” she told The Wall Street Journal. “Now it’s time for the next step. And the next step is single payer.”

     Democrats Open to Single-Payer Health Insurance, a Party Leader Says
     ABC News | 7/23/14 | Christina Powell

     The Democratic Party will consider proposing a single-payer health insurance system, Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said. “We’re going to look at broader things [for the nation’s health care system.] Single-payer is one of them,” Schumer said to ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on “This Week” Sunday. The top Democrat in the Senate added that single-payer is among a number of health insurance options. “Many things are on the table,” Schumer said. “Medicare for people above 55 is on the table. A buy-in to Medicare is on the table. Buy-in to Medicaid is on the table.*”

     Why Single-Payer Health Care Saves Money
     NY Times | July 7, 2017 | Robert H. Frank

     Lingering uncertainty about the fate of the Affordable Care Act has spurred the California legislature to consider adoption of a statewide single-payer health care system. Sometimes described as Medicare for all, single-payer is a system in which a public agency handles health care financing* while the delivery of care remains largely in private hands.
