It is becoming increasingly clear to millions that all of Obama’s
claims—that the ACA would provide near-universal coverage, that “if you
want to keep your plan, you can keep your plan” and “if you like your
doctor, you can keep your doctor”—were lies. The aim of Obamacare is to
restructure an already class-based delivery of health care even more in
line with the interests of the corporations, particularly the private
insurance companies and giant pharmaceuticals, while cutting costs for
employers and the government.
At the same time, Obamacare prepares the way for the privatization of
Social Security and Medicare and their transformation into voucher
programs, and provides the impetus for an assault on employer-provided
health insurance, the means by which about half of all Americans
currently receive coverage.
