Harvard researchers discover that Obamacare isn’t working
Finding out what’s in it: A Harvard research study has found that the program in Obamacare designed to improve hospital care has had no effect, and essentially is not working.
Or, to put it another way, in exchange for increasing regulations and cost, we have gotten nothing in return.
Gee, I seem to remember a lot of unwashed, uneducated rubes from the backwaters of flyover country saying loudly that these programs in Obamacare would not work, back in 2010. Too bad these brilliant Harvard experts considered themselves too smart to pay any attention.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

They should have used a computer model.
They work for everything else.
Whats not noted in the story is that Obamacare is most likely doing exactly what it was designed to do, which is fail badly and cause a call for single payer among the voters. The Government then can ride to the rescue and institute what the left wanted all along….
The infuriating thing about all this is that humans never seem to learn the basic lessons of history. We try to reinvent the wheel every other generation and end up failing again. And it always costs lives.
That is the price we pay for losing control of the schools.
And adding insult to injury, there is never any shame or consequences to bear by the authors of the failure. Obamacare will fail, but not one person will lose a job let alone go to jail or even be publicly shamed…..
Here is one of BHO’s speech writers, speaking to Charlie Rose, outing THE speech writer who came up with the “you can keep it” lie. It may be out of context, but its hard to tell….

I think the troubles at the VA have pretty well queered the pitch for single-payer. The VA is single-payer and it’s a mess. The Left is going to have to come up with a better story.
You’re right, the VA is the poster child for single-payer failure.
But when has failure ever been a problem for Leftists? They aren’t held to the same standards as the right and the failures aren’t taught in schools. Worse case is they have to wait an extra year or two and try again.
The two things that may have caused us to pass a tipping point in the USA is first losing the mainstream media, and then losing the schools. And it was accomplished without firing a shot…..
TimArth:
Charlie Rose clip is not out of context. (personally, I’d love to hold that mastermind-hack accountable for his lies, but I can’t. In some 3rd-world hell-hole, he’d have been put up-against-the-wall & shot, years ago. I of course could not advocate doing that, but I would understand the desire.)
Steve/Dick:
Multiple excellent points!
pzatchok: Yeah– a computer simulation might not have cost as much as the “study.”
(all these klowns–just endlessly feed at the trough.)
