Actually, the explicit message was, "OBUMMER is the reason you don't have a solid affordable health plan."

They leave out the part in the middle of that sentence that says, "We screwed over our fellow Americans to score political points against Obama."

Sure. An impotent congressional minority who throw crybaby fits for 24 months is the reason Democrats were incompetent legislators and incapable of reaching compromise in their own party.

Manipulating the number of insured people with Medicaid/Medicare is not the end goal.

1. US healthcare costs per capita - $8508 (OECD 2011)
2. Norway healthcare costs per capita - $5669 (OECD 2011)

1. US healthcare expenditures GDP - 17.7%
2. Netherlands healthcare expenditures GDP - 11.9%

American labor will continue to be outsourced until we tackle this problem. Obamacare might work slowly over time, but it maintains the existing system of employer-provided care. It has very little fundamental virtue.

What's offensive is that the numbers are just cheerleading. The cost of heathcare is what crushes the middle class and creates millions of uninsured.

Obamacare does little or nothing about it. Increasing subsidies is not a solution.
