Obamacares’ Failures; Right Idea, but Wrong Strategies & More lack of “trust” for Obama & Democrats Policies:By Marc Chamot
With the failed corporates bailouts, and now with Obamacare, Obama and the Democrats have turned Washington D.C. into a den of thieves for multi-billion dollar corruptive special interests at taxpayer’s expense, instead of cleaning up the cronyism as promised.
It wasn’t hard to see why “Obamacare” failed. One group were getting behind closed doors, making secretive deals, the pharmaceuticals, insurance industries, the medical industry and unions, all were getting their cuts, while paupers like us, were getting royally screwed.
If anyone wants to know why Obamacare failed, it’s not hard to understand why. Forget the Obama vs. Republicans rhetoric’s, what President Obama tried to do, by swaying public opinions against the Republicans, it failed, but instead, public opinions slammed dead set against him and his party, at full throttle.
With Obama accusing the Republicans standing in the way for real healthcare reforms, it’s laughable; it is more of an insult to American voter’s intelligence and judgments’ than anything else.
Obama thought we were dummies, but it never was about the Republicans, it was more about him and his shenanigans’ behind the scenes that killed healthcare for the Democrats. But Obviously President Obama cannot understand that and he’s still not learning from his past mistakes.
After President Obama’s speech the other night, it’s obvious that many Americans weren’t moved by it, especially Independents like me.
The biggest problem this president has with most American folks is lack of “trust.” It’s going to be very tough for Obama to regain that “trust” which he lost, no matter what he does to convince us otherwise. It’s going to take a considerable change in the direction of this country to improve his faltering reputation after healthcare.
There’s no question that 2009 has hurt the president, and the ill advised healthcare reforms did him in. The healthcare fiasco did undue damage to President Obama’s reputation and to his Democratic cohorts, without a doubt.
The speech the other night, we’ve seen the same movie before, it reminded me of the same old rhetoric’s, just words, and empty promises, but no real action.
The Democrats went the wrong way about healthcare, no doubt. They chose a very unpopular route of going after big Medicare and Medicaid cuts, and they wanted to implement those incredulous tax increases, and create a surge onto our existing deficit, instead of looking into the healthcare and insurance industries itself, to find the money to finance outrageous programs, like free healthcare.
Please don’t get me wrong, I wanted public option, and I still support public option for the uninsured, and I’m one of those thirty or so millions without health insurance, but I wasn’t about to see my nation of mine going bust, just to get it.
What killed Obamacare, Obamacare did nothing to stem or stop the high cost of medical care, it went further to create new laws to force people to carry insurance, like they do with automobiles.
This would have expanded more profits, billions of dollars more, at taxpayers expense, into already very unpopular industries, like the pharmaceuticals, insurance and runaway medical industry costs, by using the dreaded IRS as collection agents.
The truths being told, this is why Obamacare failed. Obama and his Democrats pandered to special interest groups, after promising that they wouldn’t during the presidential campaigns.
I am sure if President Obama and his liberal Democrats (cohorts) went into a more popular direction, like going against the industries’ “greed,” instead of shaking up and tinkering with the whole system, Obama and the Democrats could have brought the government public option for the uninsured by leaving the entire system alone.
And even if the Republicans wouldn’t have supported him in reforming the profit greed of the medical industries, I’m sure throngs of Independents would have, and Massachusetts would have been a different scene for Obama now.
Had Obama and Democrats created a smaller network of hospitals and medical centers, through non-profit means, and used the excess "profit” moneys from industries, like pharmaceuticals, insurance, medical doctors, hospitals, and so forth, those that gouges people, to help finance the uninsured would have been a more popular route. But instead they went into halfheartedly and foolishly overhauling an entire system that most Americans were happy with, and that would have eventually left us bankrupt.
When Obamacare went to the senate, I had predicted its death right then and there. But I had no idea that Senator Joe Lieberman, and other Blue Dog Democrats would be such “sell-outs” favoring the insurance and medical industries, over the American people.
And now, President Obama is looking for scapegoats for his Obamacares’ failures. Instead of looking directly into the mirror for its failures, he talking the talk about needing more civility in political debates, he talks the talk to help the middleclass. It’s true, he does want to help the middleclass, and they are the unionized and government employees’ middleclass, not anyone in the private sector though.
Obama and his Democratic conspirators, through government controlled healthcare have just tried to receive more voting power for their party, from more unionized government employees, in their quest to take over American politics through healthcare, just like those Democrat progressives do, in Chicago, San Francisco and other major American cities.
But sadly, to Obama and Pelosi’s chagrin, they both discovered that the rest of the nation doesn’t play that corrupt progressive game and things don’t work that way in the real world. We all know what’s up, there’s a big problem with “trust” issues with these people, who are running our government and they showed it through Obamacare.
