Doesn't this show liberals are logically challenged?

Apparently the fact that a vast majority of Obamacare users are subsidized perhaps even even to the degree of paying nothing for their insurance has nothing to do with the popularity of Obamacare. As usual liberals are only looking at 1 side of the equation. They don't look at the cost. Maybe because, well gee, it is only the taxpayers money!!!

Update:

Economics has a rule when it is free there is infinite demand and support!

    Proponents of the ludicrously misnamed, "ACA" ignore the fact that there are many, like myself, who have insurance but must go without needed but noncritical care because of ruinously expensive copays and deductables. Meanwhile the real problem, the ever-spiralling cost of medical care, is not addressed but actually exacerbated by this traversty of a solution.

    You say "cost" like taxpayers get a free ride when the uninsured need healthcare. There is no free lunch, we can pay so they can get humane treatment when it is first needed OR we can pay more if they become desperate enough to use the final trip to the Emergency Room for the most expensive care possible. Second, there is a cost for allowing citizens the legal right to file bankruptcy. Prior to Obamacare, medical was the primary cause of personal bankruptcy. The only failure of Obamacare is it does not apply to 100% of Americans, and there remains many, particularly in Republican states that get no benefit. BTW liberals think HR676 is the kind of healthcare America should have. It fixes Obamacare by automatically covering everyone just like Canada.

    The thing is that YOU seem to believe "Obamacare" is a THING, when in reality it is just a dumb nickname Republicans gave the Affordable Care Act....

    Most people would regard YOU as more "logically challenged", I'm afraid!

    You don't have to LIKE Obama, or AGREE with any liberal tenets, but you do your alleged cause NO FAVORS by so openly portraying yourself as a clueless moron!

    I think you are assuming Obamacare is a form of healthcare insurance. It is a very complex law, addressing many patient healthcare concerns, at the expense of the healthcare provider and insurer industries.

    I like the law because before the law, uncompensated care was costing us billions. Now that everyone has a way to pay for healthcare, the costs are going down.
