On Thursday, Tom Perez, Democratic National Committee Chair, went on MSNBC and struggled to defend Obamacare’s failures. Now, this tells you so much in such a short time.
Obamacare is so bad, all Democrats have a time trying to defend just how bad it is. Most defenders have resorted to blaming President Trump for sabotaging it. That’s nonsense but when you have politicians who didn’t read the bill before they signed it, what do you expect?
MSNBC host Ali Velshi asked Perez why Democrats won’t work with Republicans to fix the healthcare bill flaws that came along with the original Obamacare bill and Perez failed quickly.

“The problem with the Senate bill is it’s not a healthcare bill. It’s a massive tax cut for wealthy people,” Perez responded. “The Affordable Care Act has been a life saver for millions and as you correctly point out it is far from perfect.”
Velshi followed up by pointing out how millions of Americans didn’t see the benefits of the Medicaid expansion, and all they saw were their premiums increase and their doctor go away under Obamacare.
“The affordable care act, while it has obviously been a life saver for millions, it’s always been — had room for improvement, Ali,” Perez responded.
Perez stating that Obamacare saved million of lives is a nothing burger, don’t you agree? If this were the truth, why were so many Americans dropping coverage or not signing up for it? Why have so many insurance companies dropped out of participating in the exchanges?
It’s because Obamacare is a failure, plain and simple, and we don’t need a half-wit party chairman to screw up an interview to the American people with lies on top of more lies. But let’s not forget Perez didn’t offer up any solutions because they don’t have any. They didn’t want Republicans to help create their health care law, they didn’t read the bill before they signed it, and they set it up to fail hoping Americans would be begging for a single-payer system.

Just like pelosi,waters and schumer — leave him there, they are the best advertisement for Republicans.
Perez, Ellison, Shumer, Waters, Pelosi, and Feinstein: relics of a Democratic party that was consumed, bone and marrow, by the violence of the Undead. These are the people and causes that threaten the very survival of Western Civilization, and are those whom we must oppose, at any cost.
It’s a war worth fighting for.
WOW! the first time I’ve heard Pretzel, that vulgarity did not come out of his mouth. It was BS this time.
Obmacare is the disaster of disasters. Pelosi= you have to pass it to know what’s in it, now there is the start of the disaster. Think about this, if all bills were passed so you could know what was in the bill, words fail me, adequate to express the insanity of this statement. Not a word from the press as to how stupid a comment this was. This comment alone should have had legs to carry it to this day, that might have been racist. Yet, where was the outcry exposing this insanity. Pelosi should have been shot with a ball of her own poop.
How do you know a lefty is lying? They are still breathing!
Their mouth is moving.
Just about everything Tom Perez says and does is pitiful.
You cannot defend that which cannot be defended.
I frankly don’t care if the wealthy get a tax cut if it means that The Middle Class finally gets a break. It seems that a lot of people forget that the “poor” of America get the Earned Income Tax Credit and actually make money by getting an income tax return when they actually don’t deserve one. Who actually pays for the freebie? Well the Middle Class and the wealthy. The Lefty claim that the rich don’t pay their fair share is bunk. Right now, the rich pay for Obama Care. This is really like those credit card points you rack up to get free stuff. So who pays for your free credit card stuff? The Merchant does with high processing fees so you can use a credit card to get “free” stuff.
And you expect the true believers to understand this? Most Americans don’t understand that everything is paid for by the taxpayer, they think the government pays for it.
How dare he?
People who’ve been dropped more than once, because the exchanges treat them like dirt for taking advantage of pre-existing conditions?
People who can’t go forward because the deductibles and out of pocket limits were too high?
Won’t touch the coverage mandates? Com’n. You can save this. Through a check off system, a premium, deductible and co-pay arrangement. Lord, help us. Can we at least agree that those with pre-existing conditions pay more?
Ali Velshi is smart and Tom Perez is out of his depth.
This idiot’s “bread aint done’, and as granny used to say: If you don’t know how to COOK, get your ass outta the KITCHEN”! Mr Perez couldn’t boil a pot of water without scorching it!
MSNBC with typical American trash guests. i.e. al brawley sharpton, tom perez, maxine waters, al green, elizabeth warren, bottom of the barrel democrats.
Bottom of the barrel? They don’t even belong into a barrel but into the trash – PERIOD
But, HEY! Remember every time in his eight years a crisis arose, people murdered, terrorist attacking, then the “Illustrious Illegal” would make a BIG announcement that HE would “get to the bottom of it”! These cruel deeds” would NOT go unpunished and HE ALONE would bring the ones who did it to justice! Mr. “Justice” obviously moved out of town, never to be seen again! So when HE “got to the bottom of it”; that’s where “IT” stayed! With the ‘bottom of the Barrel” Progressive, Socialist, Democrats!
Another Democrat with his head up in the clouds! Obozocare was a disaster from day one & was intended to fail so the government could bring in socialized medicine like the UK & Canada has. That was the goal from day one.
I would have a perfectly good healthcare plan that would server pretty much every American in a good way and wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg either and government would not be involved.
Five years ago my daughter was paying $165.00 a month for her health care! It’s gone up like a mini blind in a hurricane! She’s now paying almost $800.00 per month! They live in a gorgeous home and their HOUSE payment is $45.00 LESS a month than her Health Insurance! Every egg-sucking Politician should HAVE to HAVE the SAME insurance as the rest of us! And pay for it themselves! I’m frankly tired of supporting them and THEN they still take what they want out of what’s LEFT!
