More people have health insurance these days, but nothing has been done to increase the number of care providers or reduce costs, other than to drastically cut the reimbursement to doctors for treating Medi-Cal patients. Even then, costs aren't going down because there are so many more people demanding health care services. You don't get it, really dude...you just don't. You are all about promises made that you expect to be kept turnkey, costs that are not going down, things the law doesn't do to increase available doctors, ERs busier than ever, the CBO was wrong and on with the litany of negativity. In reality none of these statements are entirely true, but do you know why negative outcomes are so clear to so many lay people...your political alter self wants it to be so. Al

This is why, among other reasons, I don't take the CBO's estimate as gospel. It doesn't fly with reality. Here Ten...this article is taylormade for you. Read it "entirely". Al http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-02-10/republicans-endorse-morality-of-obamacare?cmpid=yhoo Rather than combat the morality of Obamacare head-on, conservative opponents typically divert their attacks to adjacent playing fields: Obamacare is government overreach. It's bureaucratic. It threatens American exceptionalism. It will destroy jobs and the economy. Such arguments, ranging from practical to philosophical to foolish, have helped to raise public doubts about the efficacy of Obamacare. But they rarely challenge its moral foundation.
