Obamacare written to deceive the public.

[The Grand Nudger]

The "free" bit only applies to the end consumer Heywood. People still get paid (and very often it's a private business that gets paid by contract with the health dept). The price of the service isn't actually nothing, so these private enterprises (who often do the actual service anyway) aren't competing over a damned thing - certainly not price (nor do they seem to be interested in doing so). If that was even remotely true, we'd be rioting by now. Government outcompeting private enterprise and crushing the little guy with their evil state health depts.

You don't have to tell me the narrative, I've heard it before. I'm just telling you that it doesn't seem to match up with what is happening here - in my experience. Money to pay for healthcare is scarce. I can find a doctor at any time of the day or night with no notice.
