Healthcare Triage: How We Pay for Obamacare

This week’s episode of Healthcare Triage is an explanation of the fiscal workings of Obamacare. We’ve done this on the blog, but now you have somewhere to send your family and friends for an easier explanation:

After we posted our video on “How Obamacare works” tons of commenters asked how Obamacare is paid for. Often, the question was NSFW. But you ask, we answer.
In this episode, we will explain how much Obamacare costs, and what spending cuts and revenue increases (ie taxes) were passed to pay for it. You’ll get to see why it really is “deficit reducing”.

Please watch and share! We need support in terms of subscribers and viewers to keep this going!
