Sabotaging Obamacare (UPDATED)


When he's not spending taxpayer dollars on private jets, weaselly HHS Secretary Tom "For Sale At Any" Price is having his press secretary munchkin put out lying screeds like this one, on why HHS isn't supporting Obamacare open enrollment events:
"... Obamacare has never lived up to enrollment expectations despite the previous administration's best efforts. The American people know a bad deal when they see one and many won't be convinced to sign up for 'Washington-knows-best' health coverage that they can't afford. For the upcoming enrollment period, Americans are being hit with another round of double-digit premium hikes and nearly half of our nation's counties are facing Obamacare monopolies. As Obamacare continues to collapse, HHS is carefully evaluating how we can best serve the American people who continue to be harmed by Obamacare's failures."
Last we checked, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is successfully insuring tens of millions of Americans and is still the law of the land. Contrary to Republican wet dreams, it's not collapsing, but that's not because Republicans aren't trying their damnedest to see that happen.

Down the road, these sociopathic clowns will want people to believe any failures of Obamacare are the result of the "collapse" of a "bad deal."  If this happens, we need to shove it back down their throats and say, "You broke it, you own it!" Better, we need to vote in a Democratic Congress that's going to protect our health insurance, not shovel tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy.

UPDATE:  Even a deep red Republican state is having none of it and is calling out Rump's sabotage. Good luck with that "It's not our fault" defense, shitheads.
