In the run-up to the election, Democrats emphasized health care in general and Obamacare specifically.
Who isn't concerned about health care, especially during the COVID pandemic? However, the arguments that millions will lose their health care if Obamacare is repealed is disingenuous.
Prior to the passage of Obamacare, the Obama/Biden administration promised, "If you like your doctor you can keep you doctor: If you like your health care plan you can keep your health care plan." The truth is millions lost their doctors and their perfectly good health care plans when Obamacare was rammed through without a single Republican vote. In return, most people were forced to buy a plan with things they didn't need (like sex-reassignment surgery, psychiatric care and substance abuse) or pay a fine.
We also were promised that the price of health insurance would go down. The reverse happened. Premiums skyrocketed, the number of insurers went down, and the number of people on government programs increased, which was one of the objectives of the single-payer crowd.
How did that work out for most hard-working taxpayers? I'll tell you how it has worked out for one South Carolina man of modest means. He was making $10 an hour, so his company signed him up for Obamacare. The subsidy covered his entire premium. Such a deal, right? But no! In October, he had a massive heart attack and went to the ER. Under Obamacare, he had to come up with an $8,000 copay, which was impossible. The doctor told him he needed three stints, but since he could not pay the $8,000, they only would do the one that caused the heart attack.
