i think obama had good intentions, but the system (meaning congress) twisted it to either make him look like a failure or set it up so theyd get something out of it

His intention was to collapse the insurance system and force single payer on us. Giving government an excuse to meddle even more in our lives. That was what Obamacare was designed for. "Failure"

im not so sure now. health care is looking to be better as a common service than a private business, especially with the laws in place requiring certain insurances.

Edited by BlackMormon: 12/3/2016 9:40:23 PMIt's not better! Where you get that? It's more expensive, people have lost plans they liked, people have lost doctors they liked, young men are being screwed into paying for other people's healthcare. It's not the government responsibility to ensure my healthcare. I'm an adult! Not a little child. And I don't want to be forced to buy insurance. And I had a pre existing condition that stopped me from getting insured. And thats OK.

not obamacare the way it is. currently, all of our insurance companies suck in one way or another, and the government isnt doing a good job at all. the idea of health care becoming a service and removing its privatization can be a good thing, it just takes the right people and right application.

It's a bad thing that will stifle medical innovations, reduce quality of care, increase wait times, and cause rationing. The government messes up everything it touches. They were the reason the insurance system here got so messed up. State run medicine cannot compete with private.

true, competition wouldnt really exist. ultimately it comes down to people. good people in private or government insurance can do good things, bad people can do bad things. either way we dont get what we need, and most of us who need the insurance suffer because of it.
