Letter: Is Obamacare really so wonderful?

Obviously, you aren’t getting correct information from mainstream television, et al, regarding the Affordable Care Act. Did you know that in Washington state, more than 200,000 people have been kicked off their current health insurance plans; and almost 6 million people nationwide, as well? Or that cancer patients could possibly no longer receive the same coverage, their own doctor, or their prescribed cancer medicine?

Is it even safe to enter personal information in the website? It cannot be safe when one company contracted for application services, Serco, is being investigated for fraud in the United Kingdom. President Obama lied when he said you could keep your doctor. It was known differently as early as 2010, but Obama kept on perpetuating the lie. More than 1,400 waivers have been granted to labor unions, businesses, states, and who else? This is naming only a few things wrong with Obamacare.

It’s a power grab via Democrats, especially for votes/big government. Amazing how easily and fast the uninformed electorate falls. Is it worth 250 million people’s health care trashed for 30 million still uninsured?

Just wonder how Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., can sleep at night. Oh yes, I forgot, they’re Democrats who passed Obamacare through the “nuclear” option. Obviously, they don’t care.

Or, maybe you are Democrat and you just don’t care, either.
