This is going in circles. You're determined that ACA already is failed, that Obama is a liar. Go you. For my part I'm privileged to have unusual experience of differing health systems and IME it's the same as any other difficult topic: the more you know, the more you realize you don't know.

I am reminded of the Australian Superannuation scheme whose introduction was blessed by the loud screams of Aussie libertarians who made all the predictable claims about liberty and government capability compared to private. Step forward a couple of decades and the Super scheme is being *extended* by increasing the compulsory contribution with conservative support. Not even the most rabid red neck wants to oppose something that has worked remarkably well. Mandate, government, punishment, all the "failure" buzzwords are there but somehow it seemed to work regardless.

BTW, things re the website have gone quiet except for the prophet of doom regurgitations. Usually that means that competent people have got stuck in and sorted it out, so the attackers hunker down for the next opportunity. We'll see.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
