Robert Samuelson tells us that Obama's healthcare reform bill (ACA) was motivated by his ego and that it is bad for America. He argues that it will cost us jobs and increase our budget deficits. Moreover, its not really a good idea to increase access to healthcare because it does not make us healthier.
Americans are equally divided about ACA. Republicans hate it and many democrats believe that it did not go far enough. Its easy to understand why the public is confused about ACA when reporters like Robert Samuelson are given a platform by the Washington Post to make things up about the bill. I was going to criticize this article but Dean Baker beat me to it. Fox News and Rush Limbaugh are only part of our media problem in the US. Even decent news outlets like the Post misinform the public.
