Republicans and health care

The Real Reason Why Republicans Are Terrified of “Obamacare” (Click on this heading to read more)


November 13, 2013 By Allen Clifton

There’s an endless back and forth between liberals and conservatives as it relates to the Affordable Care Act (aka “Obamacare”). Too often I see liberals claim that the real reason why conservatives oppose “Obamacare” so fiercely is because they’re afraid it’s actually going to work.

Well, that’s not the real reason.

Granted, “Obamacare” is a much better alternative than we had before (which was basically nothing) but it’s not “the answer” to our health care issues.

And that is what Republicans are so terrified of. They know what comes next — single-payer universal health care for all.

Once “Obamacare” gets fully rolling, there’s no going back. Even now there’s really no going back. As millions of Americans are no longer denied access to health care due to pre-existing conditions, we’ve hit the point where we can’t go back to the days where they were unfairly discriminated against.
