It all boils down to how one defines “affordable.”  President Obama has been telling us that The Affordable Health Care Act would provide “affordable” to quality healthcare for every American.  Who could argue with that.  Wouldn’t everyone like to see every American have access to “affordable” health care?  But the problem is that “affordable” means different things to different people.  Recent polls consistently show about 40% of people interested in getting ObamaCare think it is free.  To them affordable meant free.  They thought this would be like the Obama Phone.  They would just have to show up and they would get free health care.  Life was good.

Now ObamaCare is here and it most definitely is not free.  Instead it is very expensive and there are high deductibles.  In addition, if you decide you don’t want it, you have to pay a fine.  The more people learn about ObamaCare the less they like it.  Initial enrollment figures are dismal and likely to get worse.

How were so many people stupid enough to think this would work?  The answer is easy.  Liberals have completely taken over our colleges and universities.  A vast majority of people working in the main stream are liberals. Liberals “feel” that ObamaCare is a good idea so they ignored all the warning signs. All criticism of ObamaCare was viewed as sour grapes.   Even now, when ObamaCare is such a complete failure, they are trying to convince themselves that somehow this will work.  They are convinced that Republican opposition is fueled solely by the irrational Tea Party.  They cannot even comprehend the possibility that Republicans are actually opposed to ObamaCare because it is worse than the worst estimate.

Ultimately, the final decision on ObamaCare isn’t up to Democrats, Republicans or even the main stream media.  The real decision will be made by the American People.  If a majority of people think this is a good deal and they enroll, then ObamaCare will be a roaring success.  However, if the current trend continues, the ObamaCare cannot survive.

We are down to the defining moment.  If the Affordable Care Act is affordable, then ObamaCare is here to stay.  If it is not, then it cannot survive.
