Newsflash: Obamacare already failed. Even Democrats on the Senate floor admitted it.

If you cannot afford that new Porsche or vacation home because of the new VAT tax -- tough shit.

There's no point in the discussion. Washington is not going to do ANYTHING that will eliminate an entire industry.
Obamcare 2.0 is it, period.
We get both. Pay the high premiums (by force) AND pay higher taxes (by force)
If both sides are on board. Who can argue? Because you and I don't have a say. Washington and the health care industry are the deciders here and they both want more of our money.
