Attacking Obamacare, and Its Benefactors

EVERY CIVILIZED COUNTRY in the world has some form of nationalized, socialized health care. For the most part, they all work quite well. You just don't hear any great or even mild uproar among Europeans to scrap their health care systems, and return to the days when the free market determined health care costs. In the United States, you hear the ceaseless droning of the right wing propaganda machine, trying to tell us that socialized medicine doesn't work, nobody in Europe is happy with it, socialism has never worked anywhere its been tried, and so forth. But actually, its works just fine, just as Obamacare works just fine in the United States, unless you listen to the great droning right wing machine, which most certainly you ought not. It lies. One question worth asking is: how many people have quite acceptable health insurance through Obamacare who would otherwise not have it, and how many people are paying too much for Obamacare, and how many have been unable to keep the doctor they want to keep? Twenty million people have Obamacare, far greater than the number of people who have it and are unhappy with it. Ironically, a large portion of Obamacare recipients are blue collar workers in rural areas of rust belt industrial states which voted heavily for Trump, and tended to vote for republicans in general. As Trump and Congress launch their attack on Obamacare, worth noting is how these Obamacare recipients in republican areas respond to the attack. It is also worth noting that no alternative plans have been put forth, even after six years of Obamacare. If millions of Americans suddenly lose their health insurance through repeal of Obamacare and are given nothing to replace it with, the uproar may well begin in earnest.
