Obamacare can't be fixed, because it was DESIGNED to break.

[Barbella]

"Obamacare was designed to fail; to fail slowly and incrementally; to fail in a way that would convince people that private, for-profit health insurance companies are the reason why America's catastrophically overpriced and malfunctioning health care system hasn't worked, doesn't work, and will never work. The architects of the Affordable Care Act wanted to 'prove' that third-party private insurance should be scrapped entirely and replaced with a single-payer system: straight socialism.

"The ACA was supposed to fail slowly and painfully over the course of two or three or four presidential election cycles (which is why Obamacare's namesake, Barack Obama, saw to it that it wouldn't be implemented until the second half of his second term). When the backlash came, it was supposed to come on some other president's—preferably a Republican president's—watch.

"But instead of failing on schedule, four or eight or twelve years from now—it has failed instantly, upon contact with reality.... Obama, Reid, and all of the other architects of the Affordable Care Act have created a problem for themselves that was designed to be insoluble."

You're not alone. This has been a long-standing notion ever since the single-payer idea was floated by this rabble. The Obamacare deck of cards will collapse, claiming the private insurance industry with it and leave nothing but Nannystate Big Govt to come in to pick up the pieces and act as Savior. This accomplishes many of the goals of the socialcrats, and was hatched even before Bill Clinton tried it in his administration

It's hard to say. If this regime had shown themselves to be even slightly more competent at anything, there might be some teeth in the notion that they designed this ship to sink. However, the fact that the regime has been so monumentally incompetent at virtually everything, leads me to believe this is just another [Unwelcome language removed]-up in a long line of [Unwelcome language removed]-ups. Then again, who knows, this could be the one thing that actually worked the way they wanted it to work.

See this link to the story of the Stalinist massacre of Ukranian wheat farmers for an example of a program that was designed to fail, and the reason why they did it...
