....it exists so everyone will actually have INSURANCE, which will keep people from sucking the system with unpaid hospital and emergency room visits. Which in the long game will give us all better insurance rates. Sounds like armageddon to me

It was sold to us (from Pres. Obamas own mouth): "The average family will see a savings of $2,500 a year"
It was also named "The AFFORDABLE Health Care Act"
It was also sold to the public as a way to bring down health care costs that were supposedly draining the economy.
"Yes" it was supposed to exist so that costs would go down. That was the original intent.
And as for "everyone will actually have insurance" well...
In 2009 when Obama first became Pres. 84% of Americans already HAD health insurance.
Today...5 years later and with ObamaCare now the law of the land: 83.8% of Americans have health insurance.
Meaning that over 4 years since ObamaCare was passed...we now have fewer people insured than were insured during the last year of GW Bush's term.
But it's costing us trillions of dollars to have no results! That's always a "good" thing to the Federal Govt.
