That Obamacare "wart" as you call it, also known as the Medicaid expansion, has resulted in tens of millions of people nationally and tens of thousands in Oregon having health insurance for the first time. The most the state will ever pay is 10 percent of the cost, a very small price for such a significant benefit.

Oh, and while you're at it, why not mention the additional tax on investment income earned by the rich to pay for Obamacare? It's been in place from the start and I haven't noticed that it has crimped the style of the rich one bit.

At least the Democrats paid for their big program. Republicans are now considering a multi-trillion dollar tax cut primarily going to the rich.  I've heard practically no discussion how they will pay for it outside of the long-discredited baloney that it will increase economic growth and tax revenues will increase. Promises like this go back to Reagan, and not once have they come true.
