Re: The level of hate that the right has for Obama, Is amazing.
They are going after Obama care out of hatred, not logic. There wasn't a person involved in Obama care that didn't think that it wouldn't have to be adjusted like all big bills do. Generally annually. All these hate party people know that but Obama is Black so screw everyone. I realize that the prime motive is a black Obama and The people who make over $250,000.00 paying for it. Considering that's who controls the strings on these little hate party puppets.
I would just like to know why it is better that I pay for the needy healthcare with my tax dollars. Putting 21 million people back on the dole leaves one hell of a annual healthcare bill on the tax payer/ But God forbid that the poor people making over $250,000.00 a household were paying for it. All the flat heads think that the only right way is a flat tax. I would like to know what civilized country in the world does that, Give me 10 of them and I'll stop laughing about the flat tax.
There is a political reason why your annual adjustments didn't take place. The majority of Americans didn't want the ACA to begin with. Not listening to America as a whole cost the Democrats 63 house seats and 6 senate seats back in 2010. Here are the polls and you can see that basically the Democrats told America as a whole to shove it where the sun don't shine. That they knew better what was good for Americans than Americans did for themselves. Talk about either political elitism or political agenda over riding the will of the American people as a whole.

The Republicans saw the ACA as an albatross around the Democrats neck and tried and eventually did ride the anti ACA feelings to first control of the House, then control of the senate and finally the presidency. Prior to the introduction of Trumpcare or the AHCA, the ACA had 40% in favor, 50% opposed to it. It take a worst bill, the AHCA and the Republicans to finally get more Americans in favor of the ACA than opposed. If the AHCA goes down into defeat, watch most Americans to go back to opposing the ACA.
If anything was to be learned from history is that one party can't go it alone with healthcare. The Democrats going it alone caused them to lose power. The Republicans trying to go it alone today will suffer the same loss of power. Either both parties sit down, come up with something that works and has the backing of both parties so annual changes, adjustments, improvements can take place or history will continue to repeat itself again and again.
