American doctor goes over how Barack Obama destroyed American Healthcare
Before Obamacare in 2010
- A family of 4 had $13,000 per year in premiums with a $3,000 deductible
Now in 2025
- A family of 4 had $35,000 per year in premiums with a $6,000 deductible
“Obamacare has now been around for 15 years and the promise was that it was gonna save us dramatically on our healthcare spending and make us healthier.
- And if you look at 2010 for a family of four, their premiums were about $13,000 and they had about $3,000 to $4,000 in deductibles
- Now you go to 2025, that has jumped to $35,000 about a $5,000 to $6,000 deductible.
What's happening now is we have what's called functionally uninsured patients. That means they have insurance, they think that they're okay, then they get sick, they go to the ER, they present their magic insurance card, and they find out they have a $5,000 deductible.
That means they have to pay $5,000 before the first dollar of coverage. Now, the ER for sure is going to eat up that $5,000 deductible. What that means is patients now have ongoing medical debt.
So has Obamacare saved us money? No, unfortunately not.
What it has done is made the system very, very complex. You've had the growth of very small to moderate insurance companies to huge insurance companies. There's now 7 insurance companies that are in the Fortune 500 right now.”
