In Washington D.C., on the LOCAL exchange (not the Healthcare.gov website), just five people enrolled even though officials spent $133,573,928 to set up the exchange. That's $26,714,785.60 per enrollee.
Who is this supposed to be affordable for? Definitely not the taxpayers. I certainly doesn't see that the 47 million Americans that are uninsured are not lining up to sign up and pay for these new "affordable" insurance plans.
You'll recall that every single Democratic lawmaker in both sides of Congress voted in favor of Obamacare. Think more about it and you'll remember that they voted to approve the bill without actually reading the bill first. Now, a group of about a dozen of them have given the White House until Friday to come up with a way for people to keep their health care coverage. Shouldn't they had made those changes through amendments before voting for the final bill. That's how our legislative system is supposed to work.
So, what has Obamacare actually done so far? It fines people for not buying a product from a website that doesn't work right, and it has caused an upheaval where - under the pretense of ensuring that all Americans have health insurance - several million Americans who had health insurance wake up to find that they no longer do.
In a Quinnipiac University poll released this week, only 19% of Americans say they believe the quality of their health care will improve in the next year, while 43% say it will get worse and 33% don't think it will impact their coverage one way or another.
