It's not that insane, IMO. Our Health Insurance system in the US is broken, someone had to get off their duff and make an attempt to fix it. My cost for insurance was going up higher in increasing and obscene amounts on a yearly basis. That's not fair that they leach all my lifetime hard earned savings for retirement, just to line their own pockets. I don't love Obama, but I have to give him credit for making a move. What he failed on, and should be ashamed of was, that crappy website that people have to deal with. Obamacare is law, and if the state leaders gave a crap about the people living in their states, they would have approved individual state sites to make it easy for the residents to enroll...but no, they had to throw their hissy fits because they didn't get their way, and as usual, the people suffer.
Easy for the others to play Monday morning quarterback and slam everything about Obamacare, but they brought no solutions themselves to the table. Also, those who are so much against Obamacare (or Obama), need to keep in mind that thanks to the Affordable Care Act, health care providers can no longer just drop someone's policy for no reason, they can no longer deny somebody coverage because they have a pre-existing condition, and now there is no annual or life-time limits on the coverage as before, etc. For someone with a serious medical condition, that means a lot.
The whole point of this Obamacare was to make affordable health insurance available to everyone in the US. People cry that we are paying for those who get tax credits in the new plan, but we paid for all of those people who had no insurance at all anyway, whenever they showed up in the emergency room, at the doctors or the hospitals. In my opinion, we should just go to the Universal Health Care System that all the other civilized countries have, and are quite happy with. When the anti-Obamacare (Obama) folks cite some example of someone in Canada waiting months for an operation, they are just jumping on examples and exaggerating them to try to make their case. We have relatives in Finland that are very pleased with the system, and know some folks from Canada that have absolutely no complaints.
I'm not very political at all, but I'm a registered independent, and will vote for the lesser of the two evils running for president. I won't throw out my vote on a third party candidate. Honestly, both the republicans and democrats disgust me. Both parties have let this great nation swirl its way down the toilet, instead of using their power and money to make it flourish. They fight amongst each other like a bunch of spoiled brats, and neither party is doing what they're supposed to do, which is serve the American citizens and give a damn about the citizens that live here.
Barack Obama is president, the Affordable Care Act is law, people need to just accept that, get over it, and move on.
