I'll post it here so it's easier to find. The embed video is a preview, 3 minutes. The hyperlink at the bottom is the full version that goes to PBS (sorry, couldn't embed because of different embed code).
I'd recommend the full version if you have time, don't ignore it just because it's by PBS. You'll assume at first that it's going to be liberal media stuff, but it is not pro-ACA or pro-Obama, if anything it comes off critical of all the deal making that went on behind the scenes between the White House, Congress, and lobbyists.
Can I get back that 59 min? Sorry, too much anger after only 31 min.
The grand and noble Obama admin. sets out to compete with big pharma(B Touzin, former politician) and the ins industry to stake their share of the pie they call health care. With the help of T. dashhle (tax cheat) and Rahm Emanual( political thug) this is all it is, nothing but who gets to be in control and the politicians are.
We're screwing up our health care to take care of what? 9% of the populace that had none and probably didn't want any to start with.
With these narcissistic, egotistical assholes running the show I feel like a lab rat.
It's nothing more than a pissing match between the government, pharma, and the insurance companies and the came to an agreement about who is going to get what when we get fleeced.
It's ironic...Ramsey doesn't really count in the grand scheme does he?
I never said that, nor do I think that. Ramsey counts as much as you or I, he's free to say or write what he thinks and I can try to sift through the 5th grade interpretation of economics that he calls a math lesson.
When a financial adviser admits that his only enterprise led to bankruptcy, you know he'd never sell a book if he didn't pepper those pages with religion and politics.

Obama was the better of bad choices on the ballot; he was better than Gordon Gekko or throwing my vote away on third party.
You just posted a few days ago about clients on MN Care, if Repubs had their way that would be NO CARE, conservatives have been cutting those programs for years and if they had their way they wouldn't exist. You're voting against your own interest and theirs.
You know who's interest you're voting for? Dave Ramsey.
Arnie Carlson was Governor when Mn Care came to be. Thought he was Republican

MNCare introduced by a Democrat legislature and signed by Arne Carlson (a now-banished Repub). But it started as the Children's Health Plan, which was under a Democrat legislature & Governor.

Glad you watched that much of it.

My take on it is, the Insurance Industry is playing the part of a (friend) going up behind the biggest guy in the bar, slapping him in the back of the head, pointing and saying that guy did it. Meanwhile he goes to the sideline and watches the ass kicking.
Good analogy, insurance premiums have been skyrocketing for years (decades, actually), and policies have been changing for just as long. But after January of '09 people conveniently forgot all this and blamed everything on Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.

How many of your friends, family, and neighbors do you know that have taken their kids to the doc only to be told that they have a cold..."here's some amoxicillin.", they oblige, pay the co-pay, and move on.
It all catches up to us. Need I say more?
Ok...I will. Insurance was originally designed to cover catastrophic needs not the sniffles. And everyone wonders why the insurance premiums increased. Add in the higher risk individuals and it will be unsustainable unless born on the backs of the producing citizen which is what Obamacare is designed to do.
Did we need to change the entire health care system of the 80% that already had coverage to satisfy the 20% that didn't? No. You leave the the 80% alone and work on the 20%.
