They may like it when the Democrats spend another 5 trillion dollars to subsidize it. In other words, every word about Obamacare was a lie from the beginning by Democrats, including whether it would fund abortions.

The cost will bust the budget beyond belief, the lack of privacy is a George Orwell dream come true for marxists, and the scope of reach of control into every Americans behavioral life is unprecedented.

Liberals love it, because they enjoy the government controlling every facet of your life.

>> It took almost 40 years to get Medicare D.

GWB created Medicare Part D. And the Democrats bashed him for it for years.

It was the most fiscally operational component of government health care in American history, using competition to reduce costs. The ONLY program of its nature ever to come in consistently under budget, and vastly so.

And it took the Democrats 7 years to destroy it.

I opposed it at the outset, warmed to it after its success, and after Obamacare, realized that there is no such thing as a well-functioning government health care program. Even if one starts out that way, in less than a decade the left will wreck it. Very much an eye-opener for me.
