When the nation can not afford it...when it makes worse debt levels which are killing us.
The pre-Obamacare hospital subsidies were causing the debt levels not Obamacare. The more people who sign up for Obamacare the bigger the collective pool and the lower the premiums.
This is why the Republicans want to see it fail because if we go back to subsidizing highly priced emergency rooms our economy will be drained even more and it will make President Obama policies appear to fail.
Even though many Americans would die due to inadequate insurance the republicans (like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh) are fine with that outcome as long as President Obama's good deeds are thwarted in the process. The republicans think we don't know what they are doing but their lack of concern for our economy is quite known.
Ted Cruz, Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan think Americans are fools.
Just consider the shutdown of our government, the republicans did that too and all for the same hateful reasons.
The more people pay into Obamacare the less tax money that is used to subsidize costly emergency rooms.
The more finely tuned Obamacare becomes the more perfectly it will meet the needs of Americans. It would be nice to have provisions in Obamacare for illegal immigrants too once the revenues start coming in.
Democracy, health and happiness should be guaranteed for all and not a privileged few. Especially if illegal immigrants are being used "by corporations" in low paying under the table labor.
We have lost great chances to fix many problems with America but the GOP's terror of people of other races and languages have let this golden opportunity slip though our hands.
We have mostly Sheldon Adelson, the Kochs and Rupert Murdoch to thank for this atrocity.
Corporate GOP money had poisoned our electorate, poisoned our courts and poisoned our media to the point that it is legal to lie to people whether in media (Fox News), or politics (Mitt Romney) just for political gain.
Today's GOP's political gain means, most often now, a loss for America and its people.
