Failed former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz just let the cat out of the bag during NewsNation's State of the Union coverage Tuesday, essentially admitting that ObamaCare is such a disaster that Democrats need MORE tax credits just to keep their signature healthcare law from completely collapsing.

The Florida Democrat - who you'll remember was forced to resign in disgrace after rigging the 2016 primary against Bernie Sanders - told host Leland Vittert that extending tax credits is a top Democratic priority to "make sure that the Affordable Care Act policies remain affordable."

Wait, what? If the so-called "Affordable Care Act" was actually AFFORDABLE, why would it need constant taxpayer bailouts to remain affordable? This is the same broken logic that got us into this mess in the first place.

The ObamaCare Shell Game Exposed

What Wasserman Schultz is really saying here is that without massive government subsidies - paid for by YOU, the taxpayer - ObamaCare premiums would be so sky-high that even Democrats can't pretend their healthcare law works anymore.

"We need to extend tax credits to make sure that the Affordable Care Act policies remain affordable," Wasserman Schultz admitted, apparently without any sense of irony.

This is the same woman who helped orchestrate the biggest political lie of the Obama era: "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." Now she's back, hat in hand, begging for more of your hard-earned money to prop up a failing system that's made healthcare LESS affordable for millions of Americans.

Trump's Solution vs. Democrat Desperation

While Democrats scramble to throw more taxpayer money at their ObamaCare disaster, President Trump's second-term agenda focuses on actual healthcare reform that puts patients first, not government bureaucrats.

The contrast couldn't be clearer: Trump wants to unleash free-market solutions that drive DOWN costs naturally, while Democrats want to tax you more to hide the fact that their big-government approach has been an expensive failure from day one.

How many more billions of taxpayer dollars will Democrats demand to keep their healthcare house of cards from tumbling down?

Instead of more tax credits for a broken system, how about we focus on actual healthcare reform that promotes competition and choice?

My family's premiums have tripled since Obamacare started and now they want MORE of our tax dollars? We couldn't even keep our doctor like Obama promised!

Finally someone calling out DWS for what she really is - DESPERATE! Throwing more taxpayer money at a failed system won't fix the fundamental problems with Obamacare.

Exactly! We've already wasted billions on this disaster. Time to scrap it and start over.

How much more money are we going to throw at this failing program? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

This is exactly why we need term limits. Career politicians like DWS just double down on failed policies instead of admitting mistakes.

As a physician, I've seen firsthand how Obamacare has destroyed the doctor-patient relationship. More tax credits won't fix the fact that patients can't afford their deductibles and many doctors won't accept these plans.

DWS is grasping at straws here. The American people have already rejected this socialist healthcare experiment at the ballot box multiple times.

And yet they keep pushing the same failed agenda. We need fresh leadership that actually listens to constituents.

When will these politicians learn that government intervention in healthcare only makes things worse?
