There’s no reason to believe that they will be able to compete with a government program
Last time I checked, UPS and FedEx are doing a fine job competing with the postal service…

Hundreds of thousands dying needlessly each year will be Obama’s legacy
Um… I’m gonna point out that people in serious need of surgery/doctors etc will get them all the same, so I strongly doubt your claim, but I will say that hundreds of thousands of lives will be SAVED because the 52 million people without health insurance now will actually be able to get the care they need.

America is one of the last countries that still have hyper-active treatment and pharmaceutical research programs, which Obamacare will force to shut down.
Please show me in his plan where he plans to stop said research programs. Regardless, many of these companies get this money from private donations, which is unlikely to just stop.

I know in a very short time it will cripple the Democrat party and hurl them out of power for at least a decade or two but the cost of that would be halting the medical research programs and reverting medical care back to 1930s standards.
Wow… I think LOL will suffice as a reply to that. And that is coming from someone who isnt even a democrat.
A lot of the negative press about all this is being passed on by a very small group of people. Many Canadians, for example, actually enjoy their healthcare system. You won’t find that on Fox News (if you can call that news, it is owned by fox ENTERTAINMENT group for a reason), but I will provide some sources anyways:

I am tired but I will gladly post more if you really want.
I guess my only issue with the whole thing is that companies like BCBS employ a LOT of people and if they cannot compete with obamacare then potentially quite a few jobs could be lost.
