I did not want threads like this on this board. It will prove very corrosive over time. But since everyone has chimed in, and with so much misinformation and with so many opinions with which I strongly disagree, that I am going to respond.
The facts are well established that overall, health care cost escalation dropped very significantly once the ACA ("Obamacare) was enacted. That includes health insurance premia. There is no real debate about this.

Just this year, rate and cost increases began to rise again to the level that existed in the years preceding Obama's first term. The ACA is not the cause of this increase, but rather it is due to a number of other factors.
The hatred of Hillary is extremely difficult for me to understand. You don't have to love her. Very few do. But the "lock her up" rants make no sense whatsoever. Because the chaotic arguments people make on the subject seem so irrational, and are never based on facts, logic or sound legal analysis, it seems to me that it reflects a deep seated dislike for women with power in this country.
Blaming Bill Clinton for "nation building" is an interesting if inaccurate spin on history, it has little to do with Hillary. And it certainly does not justify incarceration. Passions on the subject, particularly here, are way higher than is warranted.
