After over two years of unrelenting attacks on President Trump based on the fictional Russian collusion story, I would think the media would be embarrassed and would try to make future content based on facts instead of Democrat talking points. Obviously, that is an incorrect assumption, as they have started attacking Trump on replacing Obamacare by acting like it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Since journalists have no interest in facts, I will gladly do their job with an abbreviated version of some of the unmitigated disasters and lies related to Obamacare.

In September 2009, President Obama said the bill was needed because 30 million were uninsured. Today, there are 29 million uninsured. While the population has grown, that is a pathetic result of taking away choice and raising costs substantially.

In 2010, when the CBO was doing its projections on Obamacare, it said 24 million would purchase through the exchanges by 2021. In 2018, only around 12 million had purchased through the exchanges. Why does anyone trust the CBO when it is frequently so far off?

Jonathan Gruber admitted that the Obama administration lied to the public to get Obamacare passed. We know of Obama’s continuous lies that you can keep your plan, that you can keep your doctor, and that premiums will go down substantially. We know that Pelosi told her minions in the House that they must pass the bill to see what was in it.

Gruber said it is the American people who are stupid. Wasn’t it the CBO, journalists, and Democrats in Congress who were stupid (or who didn’t really care what the costs and results would be)?

Not one aspect of the bill would reduce costs, yet that is the lie that was foisted on the public by the complicit media. . . .

When Republicans were moving to get rid of the individual mandate, Democrats, the CBO, and the complicit media said premiums would go up substantially. The predictions were wrong again. Isn’t it amazing how freedom of choice and markets work when the government isn’t giving the insurance companies a captive audience? (Read more at American Thinker.)

President Donald Trump told reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday that the Republican Party would soon be known as the “party of healthcare.” He reiterated that commitment in the Oval Office on Wednesday, claiming Republicans would have a health care plan that is “far better than Obamacare.” . . . Still, President Trump already has significant achievements on health care that can be summarized as follows: more choice, lower prices, life-saving drugs.  (Read more at Breitbart.)
