The real beneficiaries of Obamacare were the insurance companies, those who got it for free, and legions of federal employees including the politicians.

The day after Obamacare was passed, big insurance companies stocks became much more valuable, follow the money 💰. Those without insurance were happy to get free insurance, that somebody else paid for. As we all know, nothing that comes from the government is free. The politicians and federal employees were exempt from Obamacare. So they did not see their out of pocket expense go up and their coverage reduced, like the rest of us.

I do give Trump some credit here in trying to fix this mess. As for Obama, he and his family have health insurance for free. They do not have the very healthcare he sold to the rest of us that bears his surname. Talk about irony.

I think the debate is healthy. One angle that was missed here is that a governments actions seldom reflect the wishes of its people. Especially in the Middle East. So to say that Iran, China, or Turkey , ‘for a few examples’, will not act in a certain way because of their diverse populations is not correct. Those countries are run by Dictators who do what they please without a healthy public debate about what should be done.

Not that the corrupt Western governments are much better, but there is at least a thin veneer of openness and debate. JohnBarleycorn

Where was the big concern after 2008 when millions of Americans lost their jobs, homes, pension funds, and hope? Just saying. Don’t remember Wray making a public statement about us hurting, when we pay their wages. by the way Congress was paid during this shutdown and Trump does not take a salary from taxpayers.
