Notions of Greatness

The cadre of true believers around Barack Hussein Obama continue to insist he is faultless. They contend that he is one of the best, if not the best US President ever. Their faith in Obama is truly messianic. They talk about how historic "Obama Care" is and continue to insist that it is to the benefit of the American people. Obama's zealots still blame George W. Bush for America's economic ills. The true believers in Obama contend opposition to their "chosen one" is racist. I would contend Obama Care will hurt far more than it helps, and believe that there are numerically just as many Americans medically uninsured as before the Affordable Care Act was passed. Americans with medical insurance mostly now pay higher premiums with higher deductibles than before. Obama's "signal achievement" is a health care regime that seems to have been deliberately constructed so clumsily that it will have Americans clamoring to replace it with a single payer system that is the sine qua non of socialized medicine. The ultimate triumph of Obama Care will be having destroyed the private system of medical insurance in America, yet being so unmanageable that it must be replaced and the only replacement will be a European-style socialized system where government strips the citizen of any and all medical autonomy.
