Holy cow, has it been a year already?!
On October 1st, 2013, the disastrophe that is the Affordable Care Act was born into this world and was officially thrust onto the American people.
On this day, the fabled Obamacare insurance exchanges went live, the glorious government website Healthcare.gov was launched, and, to paraphrase Nancy Pelosi, America finally got to see what was in the bill.
So what did we find when we opened up Pandora’s Box? Did every family get to save $2,500 per year on their health insurance premiums? Did Obamacare end up being deficit-neutral like they said it would be? Did we all get to keep our doctors and our plans?
Now that the dust has settled on the Obamacare rollout, let’s examine where we are one year into the program and determine whether or not President Obama’s landmark health care overhaul delivered the goods as promised.
Obamacare: One Year Later
That’s 10 major Obamacare promises made, and 10 major Obamacare promises broken.
Let’s see, doing the math, that’s a score of exactly 0 out of 10, which is only slightly worse than Obama’s performance on the basketball court.
In summary, we are one year into Obamacare and health care costs are skyrocketing, health care plans are worsening, and the overall economy is suffering. It doesn’t take an out-of-network brain surgeon to know that Obamacare has been an absolute traveshamockery in its first year.
The worst part of all is that President Obama didn’t keep any of the promises above to the American people. To quote Rep. Joe Wilson, Mr. President:
“You lie.”
