>> Wrong...

Your claim is silly given the status of the program today. Not only are the exchanges collapsing, the reason for the collapse is critical: The ONLY people who are paying for insurance under the program at all are those who are there for the subsidy OR were slammed into the program because Obamcare cancelled their previous plans. Financially, the insurance companies are not going to make it, long-term. Then what?

But the exchanges are only a fraction of the entire system. Quality of care is reduced. Costs are up for the average American, and costs for the entire system are up. Even though quality is down. This, of course, is the thing you look for to pick up a failure: Higher cost, less value for the money that is spent.

The ONLY successful part of the program is that states that signed on to Medicaid have been successful in giving away free coverage at the expense of the rest of us.

It is utterly ignorant to continue claiming that the program works, and one can only conclude it is your commitment to blind partisanship.

By the way, when states have to start paying their share of Medicaid, the unfunded mandate is going to prove too much for many states. They're going to want the next president to give it to them. Watch and see.
