It now seems that the real impact of Obamacare is going to be the destruction of the American health system and the loss of healthcare for millions of folks. Even for me, that is a strong statement. I mean, I hate the idea of Obamacare since I think that healthcare decisions ought to be made by individuals and their doctors rather than by bureaucrats in Washington. But the news about the progress of Obamacare is now so scary that we are way beyond a philosophical discussion. President Obama's signature "accomplishment" may truly be the destruction of a huge segment of the American economy together with a major degradation of the access to healthcare for Americans.
The big news is reported by CBS News, hardly a member of some right wing conspiracy, so it may even be understated. According to CBS, at the end of the first day when the website was open, six people had bought policies across the country. SIX PEOPLE!!! By the end of day two, that number had risen to 238 policies sold. This means that Obamacare is selling less than one percent of the numbers of policies needed for the system to actually work. So far, we know that something like ten million policies are going to be cancelled. If only 150 people or so sign up for new policies, it will take centuries for all ten million to get new insurance.
What is happening is that all across America there is massive sticker shock as individuals learn that instead of the $2500 savings promised by president Obama for years, Obamacare is delivering a massive increase in cost together with a reduction in the number of folks who can get insurance. It truly should be renamed the Unaffordable Lack of Care Act.

A National Disaster -- Something Has To Be Done
Yes, something is being done, Obama & THE Obamacrats are taking our culture into single payer system.
They really don't care about the citizens. Remember they don't have to be part of OBAMACARE!
Disaster could help us get rid of the Democratic White House & Senate.
Sometimes it takes DISASTER to RIGHT The Ship! IMHO
