More Obamacare fuckups

Do you not remember what posted a few hours ago?

Yes I do. That was to remind you that fundamentally ACA is a GOP plan.

You're the one making it partisan and you're still making it partisan. Both Republican and Democratic presidents have been trying to push healthcare reform over the past few decades but usually the the other party controlled all of or half of Congress and they stopped it because they wanted their party to be the one to push it through. It's just especially ironic because it was just a couple of years before Obama took office that Democrats killed Bush's healthcare plan in Congress, they wouldn't even discuss it or bring it up for a vote then 2 years later Democrats push through their own shitty healthcare plan and Democrats suddenly act like they are the only ones who care about the healthcare of Americans?

Seriously what the fuck? Only someone with the largest blinders in the world on would buy into this absolute garbage.

This plan?

If the Republican-controlled Congress enacted President Bush's entire health care agenda, as many as 10 million people who lack health insurance would be covered at a cost of $102 billion over the next decade, according to his campaign aides.

But when the Bush-Cheney team was asked to provide documentation, the hard data fell far short of the claims, a gap supported by several independent analyses.

Projections by the Congressional Budget Office, the Treasury Department, academics and the campaign's Web site suggest that under the best circumstances, Bush's plans for health care would extend coverage to no more than 6 million people over the next decade and possibly as few as 2 million.

"There's little reason to expect that there would be any reduction in the overall numbers of Americans without health insurance," Brookings Institution health policy expert Henry J. Aaron said. "We're swimming against a rather swift current in our efforts to reduce the number of uninsured, and the power of President Bush's proposals to move against that current is, it seems to me, very, very limited."

In his bid for a second term, Bush is reprising much of the health care agenda he ran on in 2000, including tax credits for individuals who purchase insurance, and the formation of new, largely unregulated purchasing pools for small businesses called association health plans.
