Does John Yarmuth understand the PPACA?

From an interview of John Yarmuth by an elementary school child, we find out what the Congressman likes about the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare).  Note the number of things he gets wrong:

Interviewer: What do you like about the Affordable Health Care Act and, if anything, what don't you like?

John Yarmuth: Well, I like the fact that it enables everybody to have coverage. It protects everybody from going bankrupt or losing their home and all of their money from an illness or an accident.  It is ... it helps to bring down costs to healthcare over a long period of time and saves the country money. So all those things are good and many of the provisions are good.  I think the thing that I don't like is that it is a very complicated plan and it is very hard for many people to understand how it will affect them and their families.

My response: The plan does not enable everybody to have coverage. http://www.businessinsider.com/obamacare-wont-cover-everyone-2012-6

The plan may not prevent as many bankruptcies due to illness: http://www.articlesbase.com/law-articles/fewer-us-bankruptcies-after-the-affordable-care-act-probably-not-6088538.html

It absolutely does not bring down health care costs.  http://www.forbes.com/sites/aroy/2012/03/22/how-obamacare-dramatically-increases-the-cost-of-insurance-for-young-workers/ In fact, it is meant to drive up costs so that we will finally enact a single payer plan, the socialists dream. From personal experience, my health insurance (privately purchased) has increased more in the past two years, as both a percentage and in raw dollar amounts, than in the previous 10 years.

It does not save the country money. http://www.forbes.com/sites/aroy/2012/07/27/cbo-obamacare-will-spend-more-tax-more-and-reduce-the-deficit-less-than-we-previously-thought/

Mr. Yarmuth is correct, the PPACA is a complicated plan. Even after we passed it (so we could know what is in it), we still don't know what is in it.

By contrast, Mr. Brooks Wicker is running as the Republican candidate against the incumbent John Yarmuth. Mr. Wicker understands that the PPACA is major hindrance to economic growth in the country and our city. Remember to vote for Mr. Wicker on Nov. 6th.
