Obamacare has, for better or worse, turned into a disaster. The idea of affordable health insurance for all is a universal desire in the United States, yet it has hinged on party lines, with both Democrats and Republicans butting heads on how to best achieve the goal. Each side can share some of the responsibility for not passing a quality health insurance that is affordable for everyone.
When former President Obama started his campaign for affordable healthcare, it began as a worthwhile idea, but the Affordable Care Act that came out of it is a stripped down disaster, with insurance companies dropping out of the ACA on a monthly basis. Now many Americans are paying double or even triple insurance rates than what they paid prior to the ACA. However, Democrats thump their chests over the empty “Affordable Care” title, even though for most working citizens it is anything but affordable. Now, they are standing in the way of progress once again and preventing the Obamacare replacement from moving in.
As it stands, the replacement act is not perfect. As both parties struggle to work together it is difficult to piece a universal plan together that satisfies everyone. The current replacement plan is likely not to pass Congress, especially due to four Republicans who are not voting for it. Realistically, the American people are likely willing to wait on a plan that isn’t rushed (like Obamacare), but instead is a quality, affordable plan.
So what does Donald Trump and Herman Cain say about the Republicans (and all Democrats) standing in the way of progress? Watch the video to hear for yourself.
