Obamacare has been and is a disaster
If you don't know Turley, read this. He voted for Obama and is basically saying the Obamacare fiasco was caused gross negligence.
Oh, the GAO said it first.

One of the greatest examples that I have previously discussed is the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Democrats deserve ample criticism first for a law that was poorly drafted and vetted (when I spoke on Capitol Hill before its passage, I said I was in favor of national health care but thought this was one of the worst crafted major pieces of legislation I had seen go to the floor of Congress.). After doing a uniquely bad job in drafting the law, the Obama Administration then did an absolutely appalling job in managing the program in its critical rollout despite years of planning and billions in costs. Now, the independent Government Accountability Office (GAO) has completed its investigation of the disastrous rollout and found gross negligence that drove up costs and crippled the start of the program. The response? Crickets. Nothing.

No doubt that guy knows what he is talking about. But that doesn't mean that we are helplessly attached to this god-forsaken program. There are alternatives. One is at the State level.

If a state licenses an entity as a “health insurance issuer,” the federal government is required to recognize the entity as such—even if it happens to be an individual. State lawmakers could therefore authorize a savings-based approach to health insurance for individuals and their families, bypassing a host of ACA mandates and opening the way toward an innovative new future for health coverage.

Wow!
I did not know states had that right to issue license to an entity of the state's desire as a "health insurance issuer" essentially nullifying Obamacare.
I think we can thank Justice Roberts for this...yes?

I'm pretty sure your post was made with sarcasm, which I'm ok with. But seriously, instead of moaning about what an awful program it is, why don't the States do something about it? It'd be better than being a chronic victim. And yes we can thank Justice Roberts.
