The Problems With Obamacare

The Problems With Obamacare
There are numerous and direly unpleasant.

From Grendel Report:
Here's a partial list of the myriad other objectionable features of Obamacare:

It's 2,700 pages long. Legislation of such unconscionable length is not only complicated to a degree that's hard to fathom - this chart from Sen. Jim DeMint helps to some extent [3] (you have to enlarge it to see it) - but it also severs the link between the law and the average citizen. It makes it essentially impossible for the law to be something that the citizenry can know and understand, even to a reasonable degree. A complicated monstrosity like Obamacare is a vehicle for government by bureaucratic and lawyerly "elites," not for government by the people.

It would cause millions of Americans to lose their employer-sponsored health insurance and be dumped into Obamacare "exchanges." These exchanges would be heavily subsidized, which means that much of the burden of health coverage would be shifted from employers to taxpayers. Already, 4.5 million Americans have lost their employer-sponsored health insurance [4] since Obamacare was passed, as the overhaul offers plentiful financial incentives for employers to get out of the business of providing health care for their employees. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had estimated that from 2010 to 2011 six million people would gain employer-sponsored insurance - so the CBO's estimates are already off by more than 10 million people. If Obamacare goes fully into effect (in 2014), far more Americans will lose their employer-sponsored health insurance.
The list continues at GR.
