Mitt Romney reiterated his pledge to repeal Obamacare during the
first presidential debate on Wednesday while the two candidates sparred
over healthcare.
“If the president’s reelected, Obamacare will be fully installed,” Romney said. “In my view that’s going to mean a whole different way of life for people who counted on the insurance plan they had in the past.”
Since the U.S. Supreme Court voted to uphold the law as a constitutional tax increase, the president and his Democratic allies have sought to declare the health care debate over once and for all.
However, the jerry-rigged nature of the law suggests nothing could be further from the truth, healthcare and budget experts say.
Obamacare itself is structurally flawed, will cost far more than the administration says it will, and contains a number of unpopular provisions scheduled to go into effect after the November election, these experts told the Washington Free Beacon.
As a result, the law will face significant challenges in the years ahead even if President Obama wins a second term, not least because of the increasing burdens it will place on middle class Americans.
“I think Democrats never completely thought it through,” Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, said of the health care law. “They threw everything at the wall to get it passed, and just assumed that they would keep editing the mess as they go.”
