It’s all been about coronavirus lately. Nevertheless, I’ve never seen an anniversary pass with so little fanfare.
Who remembered ObamaCare just turned 10?
I think that Speaker Nancy Pelosi did say something about it but it got lost when she tried to include all of those things in the economic package.
Time flies indeed and it was on this week back in 2010 that President Obama signed the the Affordable Health Care Act.
This is what he said:
The bill I’m signing will set in motion reforms that generations of Americans have fought for and marched for and hungered to see,” Mr. Obama said, adding, “Today we are affirming that essential truth, a truth every generation is called to rediscover for itself, that we are not a nation that scales back its aspirations.
Well, I don’t know about scaling our aspirations, but premiums and healthcare delivery are another story.
The biggest problem is that the Affordable Health Care Act turned to be unaffordable. Just speak with someone who’s tried to buy a policy.
I’m sure there is someone out there who got health insurance he didn’t have before. However, it all came at the cost of disruptions to our health care system.
ObamaCare at #10! Not exactly the kind of reception that VP Biden expected.
