It is because people (even Democrats) hate being taxed but they are more than willing to vote to tax someone else. This results in either hiding taxes and/or under funding the progressive program. Obamacare is a perfect example of both of these and the end result is debt, which is up to $21,000,000,000,000 thanks to Obama's poor policies. A debt we will never repay.
Our debt today has more to do with unfunded tax cuts for the wealthy under Bush (and Trump), two decades long and very expensive war efforts, corrupt reconstruction contracts in Iraq, and necessary stimulation and bailout efforts during the financial crisis, caused - in large part - by deregulation during the Bush era than it has to do with Obamacare at any level.
