Stock prices for Pharma skyrocketed once Obama took office as well. Good thing we were so busy complaining about the top 1% during that time. Wait...who really benefited most from Obamacare?? Oh whoopsies...the top 1%.
I'm someone who voted for Obama full of hope and the 'yes we can' attitude. Then I tried using the ACA while I was unemployed and was quoted at just over $200/mo for crappy coverage. My brother-in-law makes minimum wage and was quoted just under $400/mo. That's not affordable for people that aren't making a living wage. On top of that, I had close to a $400 penalty on my taxes for not being able to afford their 'affordable' insurance. My brother-in-law had an even higher penalty. So thank you Obama for penalizing the poor even more...something the government has been historically good at.
This is the guy that wrote obamacare. He says all healthcare reform pushes healthcare towards the right, so since the ultimate goal is a single payer system, then aca has to be implemented and healthcare reform cannot be installed on a state level.
