it screwed the middle class and the tax payers for the insurance companies, the cronies and illegals. poor americans were already going to emergency rooms and getting med care for free anyway.
It screwed the rich and upper middle class for the poor and lower middle class the most.Thats better than screwing the middle class and the poor for the rich like Republicans consistently do. Emergency rooms only stabilize patients,it doesn't provide healthcare.
the poor got health care for free in california. I guarantee you that and it was frequently better and more wasteful than private health insurance. I can't imagine it was not the same situation in a lot other states. I have a feeling you are once again bullshitting your ass off Tony. On what basis are you making your statements? the point obamacare was trying to sell us on were the people who fell between the cracks. Had jobs or income but could not afford insurance but made too much for the medicare and state programs. And in that area Obamacare failed. There are still massive amounts of people uninsured... and the obamacare numbers were faked by including medicare people in the newly insured numbers.
In most of The USA the poor did not get free health ins prior to Obamacare.In many red states that refuse to expand medicaid they still dont.
I would be interested in seeing where you got new enrollees into Medicare are included in the Obamacare numbers.
this article... is the just the first one I clicked on... you seem to be wrong again tony... https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...ory-health-care-america-obamacare-aca/521541/
"Government Paid for Poor Citizens' Health Care Some 300 Years Before Obamacare" If that was the case for all Americans I wonder why doctors and hospitals ask for health insurance cards when trying to get medical care
