    Four points I feel are unarguable.

    Fail #1: Higher Costs—Average premiums are up 105 percent since 2013.

    Fail #2: Fewer Choices—83 insurers abandoned the Obamacare marketplace this year alone.

    Fail #3: Fewer Covered—In 2016, 29 percent of enrollees (over 3.6 million Americans) dropped off Obamacare exchanges.

    Fail #4: Less Freedom—In 2015, Americans paid $3 billion in penalties for not purchasing unaffordable health plans that did not meet their needs.

    Liberals do not care about results, they only care about their intentions.

    I don't know what liberals care about. But I do know it ain't health care for the masses. I can't even get a liberal to admit to ANY problems with the ACA. And my source is liberals.

    It's bad and well intentioned or not, it was rolled out for political reasons before it was ready. When Obama launched it, it was surrounded by skepticism and needed to go off without a hitch to calm people down. It definitely didn't do that.

    I would think a phased approach would have been more appropriate. Maybe start off with mandatory coverage for children only at first because most people don't expect a child to be able to provide for themselves yet.

    And the republicans have been very successful running against Pelosi, Miss "we gotta pass it to see what's in it."

    1200 legislative seats lost and still counting.

    The ACA is a disaster. People should not be forced to pay for other's health care. People should not be forced to pay for other's children's health care.

    Seems they're doing it the same way, eh ?

    I do not expect fair reporting on it. I expect what UOT did, throwing the word "children" into the mix and hoping it makes people feel guilty.

    I wasn't hoping to guilt anybody I just figured most people aren't going to accuse kids of milking the system and to get a job. I'll probably be disappointed.

    Kinda dubious. I don't know your motives. I do know it's exactly what I expected. Cries of uninsured children.

    And I don't expect honest reporting on it. I expect the dems to act like the sky is falling and trying to convince people that the GOP wants women and children to die. Because that's what's been the case ever since America discovered what a crock the ACA is.

    Good summary of why it needs to go. Never should have been passed.
