Obamacare was never intended to provide healthcare to more people, to make it more affordable, accessible, or anything like that.
It was marketed as doing all of that, but the intention through its language was clearly different.
It was designed to make health INSURANCE more accessible, less affordable, and more profitable for insurance companies. No effort was given to make it easier on patients or doctors.
And undoubtedly, it was intended to give massive insurance industry kickbacks to all who voted it into existence.
If there was one flaw of the Founders it is that they treated factions (parties) as abomination and not as a natural outcome of a diverse population with non-converging interests. I personally hate the horse-trading of politics, but the reality is that is a big part of how we keep the peace.

But but but judging by results is discriminatory! Not every human is equally abled!! You must be a cultural supremacist!!!
If you’re interested and have free time Mike was on the Adam Carolla Podcast about a month ago. It was a great discussion.
