    Health insurance prices continued to rise after Obamacare was passed as though nothing had happened. Tens of millions of Americans are still uninsured or underinsured and hundreds of thousands died from lack of insurance while Obama was president (and busy doing genocide in Libya, Syria, and Yemen). Back to reddit wi’ ye, lib!

        ‘Oh look at me, I’ve just entrenched the entire lobbying apparatus of private insurance with massive payouts to insurance companies from the federal government with no real benefit towards the public, aren’t I so ‘progressive’?’

        Imagine looking at the human centipede of insurance lobbying post-ACA and thinking, “This is a step in the right direction!”

            “No progress matters to you, huh?”

            Damn, you really do live in the memory-hole, you memory-holed the last thing you said. Impressive, honestly. Life is always a brand-new experience when you live like that.

                It means that you’ve stuffed the thought or memory into a hole from which you cannot or choose not to retrieve it. You on the other-hand, appear to have stuffed yourself in the memory-hole, so you emerge like a new-born fawn in the spring, ready to believe whatever the democrats tell you. Must be a nice life.

                    Wow, shocker, dumbass doesn’t think they’re a dumbass, news at five!

                    Look, I’m not the one blatantly contradicting themselves in subsequent posts. That’s a you problem. It’s not a ‘diagnosis’, it’s an observation. I’m not the Dick Sucking Manual Five over here.

                    I didn’t ask for nor do I need any help from you (in fact, you needed help looking up a very basic internet term), so why don’t you go suck some shit from a war criminal’s asshole, you projecting faux-intellectual faux-empathetic loser?

            But it wasn’t actually progress at all. By every single metric (prices, preventable deaths, coverage, you name it), everything continued to get worse. Obamacare is nothing except a word liberals deploy when people make the claim that Democrats and Republicans are just two wings of amerikkka’s fascist ruling class. That’s it! And if you are making excuses for fascists, what does that make you?
