A Victory Speech? Really?

Maybe I am a tough critic, or maybe I can untangle and see through the words that come out of the presidents mouth about ObamaCare.  A victory speech pertinent to the sloppy roll out and launch of the Affordable Care Act?  That doesn't seem fitting, considering that so far 5.9 million people were forced to drop their coverage.  About 4 million signed back up with higher premiums, less choices as far as doctors, and higher deductibles.  All this to allow about 883,000 people who were previously uninsured to obtain coverage.  Doesn't sound like a victory to me.

 Not only was the speech itself surprising to me, but there was one thing he said that REALLY  caught my attention. When he mentioned the republicans tried to repeal the law without offering any plausible alternative.  The republican party has offered the Patients Choice Act as well as the Patients Care Act both of which decrease cost, increase access, and DO NOT depend on the weakest system we have Medicaid.

Health care needs to be fixed.  ObamaCare is not the solution.  For the president to say that the bill is working is scary because he disrupted and taken time and money from 5.9 million people to give health insurance to 883,000 people.  I agree that everyone having health care is important but at what cost to you? or your family?

"If you want to make something unaffordable have the government make it free"- Tom Coburn

Evera.  Everyone should feel this good about their health care.
