Almost no one denies that there were serious problems with
getting sufficient access to health care services when the president’s
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, frequently referred to as
“Obamacare,” took over the political scene. The consequences of not
addressing these problems were dire, we were told, and something needed
to be done. There was much criticism from all sides about the solutions
offered, and the willingness of one side to negotiate and compromise
with the other. While the Democrats promised us that the results of this
secret bill, the details of which we couldn’t see until it was passed,
would be wonderful, Republicans, Libertarians, and the pundits who
promote their ideas, spent most of their time criticizing Obamacare
rather than explaining how their own
proposed solutions would help the common American subject.
