In 2008, Americans elected Democrats to control both houses of Congress and the White House. In 2010, Democrats enacted this disaster. Now, Democrats have lost everything.
I feel truly sorry to have failed to persuade Democrats to reconsider. In my defense, we live in a partisan era of "safe zones," where people recite their preferred partisan narrative and ignore facts that might "trigger" them.
Republicans campaigned on repealing this legislation, and won. Democrats campaigned on keeping it, and lost.
We will see what America loses along with it.

Hillary was the worse possible candidate period. Nobody wanted another Bush or Clinton. She reeked of corruption.

Most Americans have not become Republicans, but gave up voting for Democrats who accomplished little other than imposing Obamacare, of which most Americans disapprove. I have given up trying to explain to Democrats the need for introspection, and the need to acknowledge the failure of a disastrous policy error. Democrats have now lost 15 seats in the Senate and 65 in the House, but still refuse to consider the possibility that they might have done something wrong, so I will simply let others do the talking:
"Seven in 10 people say Obamacare had bad or zero impact on US"
"Surprise Medical Bills: After Surgery, Surprise $117,000 Medical Bill From Doctor He Didn’t Know"
"Costs Can Go Up Fast When E.R. Is in Network but the Doctors Are Not"
"Patients’ Costs Skyrocket; Specialists’ Incomes Soar"
"Unable to Meet the Deductible or the Doctor"
"The Cost of Cancer Drugs"
"Americans Fear Being Swamped by Medical Debt"
The articles above are from 2014. The articles below describe the pre-existing condition that Democrats promised to solve but instead worsened:
"As Hospital Prices Soar, a Stitch Tops $500"
"How American Health Care Killed My Father"
"Long Term Care Insurance"
