Re: Which policy failure will Barrack Obama be most remembered for(please be specific), and is there any fixing his legacy this late in the game?
from bmovies60 on 08/31/2015 01:31 PMAfter seeing obamacare in action and seeing the results, its laughable to claim it works. Millions have lost the plans and doctors of their choice, peoples premiums and deductibles have jumped big time, obamacare created coops are shutting down, etc.
Yes, the hospitals and insurance companies are on board. They have to be because its required by law.
And its a lie to claim obamacare was designed by republicans. Only one idea in the entire 2000 page bill can be blamed on republicans. The buy insurance mandate which was thought up by the republican think tank the heritage foundation somewhere around the 1980s. Some republicans embraced the idea, but most didnt. Blasting the heritage foundation for coming up with such a tyrannical idea. One of heritage employees said, "I thought we were for freedom".
Faced with such backlash, heritage backed off and dumped the idea, admitting it was a bad one.
The massachusetts model was a democrat concoction. Romney tried to veto 8 or 9 things within it, but all his vetoes were overridden by the legislature. The reason he eventually signed it is because he knew that they had the votes to override his veto should he try to veto the entire thing as a whole (a weak defense in my opinion. He should have stood tall, vetoed and let them override it if thats what they were prepared to do)
