In an interview with New York Magazine, Obama stated the following about his wonderfully horrendous “Affordable Care Act”
President Barack Obama said his signature health-care law has “real problems” that have been exacerbated by congressional gridlock and political polarization.
“They’re eminently fixable problems in terms of strengthening the marketplace, improving the subsidies so more folks can get it, making sure everybody has Medicaid who was qualified under the original legislation, doing more on the cost containment,” Obama said in an interview published Sunday in New York Magazine. “But you hit a point where if Congress just is not willing to make any constructive modifications and it’s all political football, then you’re getting a suboptimal solution.”
NO REALLY? Its taken you THIS long to understand how UN-affordable this beast called Obamacare is? Way to clue in Captain Obvious! Way. To. Go.
Hey, at least he’s discussing Obamacare and sort of dancing around how much of a spectacular failure it is, while blaming everyone BUT himself. Meanwhile, what is Hillary doing? As Byron York helpfully points out, she is doing what she does best. Avoidance, in fact… SILENCE!
On her website, Clinton proposes to “defend and expand the Affordable Care Act.” She promises a public option, as well as a version of Medicare for all.
But she hasn’t been saying that on the stump in the general election campaign. Instead, when Clinton speaks of healthcare, she speaks of making it affordable, as if there were not already a massive, coercive and far-reaching law called the Affordable Care Act. It’s as if Obamacare never happened.
Keep in mind that she, as Byron points out, has been pushing this type of healthcare system her entire political career. So why the silence?
In Cleveland, on Sept 5th she talked about the CHIP reforms she helped pass in 1997. Anything about Obamacare during that speech? Nope, instead we were treated to a coughing fit combined with …. SILENCE!!
How about her campaign visits to Colorado in recent months? Did she or her campaign surrogates talk about the failed exchange, or talk about Amendment 69 the so-called ColoradoCare amendment that would increase our taxes by 14.63%, have state control over medical prices and spending, has potential to assess unlimited income taxes on ALL Colorado residents, have all personal healthcare data accessible to all for research, and cause the State Legislature to lose control over nearly 1/3 of its budget? Any peep whatsoever? You guessed it. SILENCE!!
Hillary has been pushing this type of healthcare insurance system since the day her husband strolled into office in 1993. Since she is one of THE early architects of this debacle, one would think that she’d be head cheerleader touting how great and wonderful it is. RIGHT? Not. So. Much.
16 speeches, Clinton explicitly mentioned Obamacare once–and that was with Obama himself in audience. https://t.co/D0TFdnoOaM

Keep in mind that’s 16 speeches since the end of August and only one specific mention of Obamacare. And that only happened because Obama himself was sitting right there.

Agreed. We shouldn’t ignore Hillary’s dead silence on what is supposedly her party’s signature achievement. We should be demanding that Obamacare be brought up multiple times during the next debate. We should be pointing out that many of our readers and several of our own writers have lost their health insurance multiple times only to be faced with loss of medical options and ever increasing medical fees/premiums/deductibles/copays, and more.
Not only that, we should ask the question. Hillary, in addition to Obamacare, what else are you staying silent on …and why? Fair warning, those who dare to ask the question may have to face the consequences.
In spite of the death glare or worse that we’d all receive, I can name a few more issues of SILENCE!! from Hillary. Benghazi, the so-called Benghazi video, 4 Americans who died in Benghazi, Russian reset, uranium sale to Russia, Iran Deal, emails, servers, pay to play, speeches, and Clinton Foundation.
In regards to Obamacare, heck in regards to EVERYTHING she refuses to talk about, Hillary Clinton’s SILENCE!! is not golden. Not by any stretch of the imagination.
