Obamacare in one (long) sentence

Summed up rather neatly by a congressional hopeful in Illinois. (Considering how easy it is for federal pols to legally get wealthy these days, who wouldn’t want to be a congressional hopeful?)

“We are going to be gifted with a health care plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, which reportedly covers 10 million more people without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman doesn’t understand it, passed by [a] Congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that is broke.”

And it passed without a single Republican vote. So it’s strictly a Democrat thing. Ah, but their “intentions” were soooo good. They surely get points for that. Just ask any of their acolytes.
