Became law without a single Republican vote. Barely survived Supreme Court challenge by a 5 – 4 decision.

Health insurance carrier losses in the millions and most of the few remaining carriers are considering dropping out of Obamacare for 2017.

By almost every measure, Obamacare is a complete failure.
So what does Mr. Lame Duck do?
Obama dropped by a meeting with Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Burwell and 13 health insurance CEOs, including the CEOs of Humana and Cigna, to emphasize the need to work together on the ACA’s public marketplaces.
In addition to the meeting, Obama sent a letter to the CEO of every health insurance company participating in the exchanges asking for help improving them. – Business Insider

Open enrollment for the 2017 year starts in 6 weeks. This gives “Hail Mary” an entirely new meaning.
