Karl Rove Shares the Real Problem with Obamacare

In Karl Rove's column "Obama's Great Health Scare" in todays WSJ he concludes with a concise explanation of why Obamacare will fail:


"Mr. Obama’s problem is that nine out of 10 Americans would likely get worse health care if ObamaCare goes through. Of those who do not have insurance—and who therefore might be better off—approximately one-fifth are illegal aliens, nearly three-fifths make $50,000 or more a year and can afford insurance, and just under a third are probably eligible for Medicaid or other government programs already.

For the slice of the uninsured that is left—perhaps about 2% of all American citizensTeam Obama would dismantle the world’s greatest health-care system. That’s a losing proposition, which is why Mr. Obama is increasingly resorting to fear and misleading claims. It’s all the candidate of hope has left."


It just does not make any sense! Get involved to save our health-care system!
