Obamacare Will Cover About 19 Million People This Year. That's a lot of people. If you got into politics to help actual people with actual problems, you should be damn proud of voting for the Affordable Care Act in 2010. No other legislation of at least the past two decades even comes close to its real-world impact.
 

It's absolutely wonderful that people are now getting care that they need... and even better if they can get problems handled BEFORE they become life threatening. It will certainly help contain healthcare costs if preventative healthcare is available. I'm so proud of OUR President and this legislation.. It's going to be pretty hard to take this away from Americans now.. won't go over very well I'm sure.

Didn't the GOP just have it's 56th vote to repeal it? lol!

I've heard a lot of good stories about how people can no longer be denied based on pre-existing conditions and can't be dumped by insurance when they become very ill.

And have no lifetime caps on care... SO no family with a child with cancer can have treatment stopped when a specified limit is reached.
 
No doubt the Republicans will attempt to abolish the ACA when they take the White House in 2016. With the presidency and control of the House and Senate they will be able to undo any and all constructive & positive legislation enacted since the end of the Bush regime. FYI:Statistically and historically, it's likely that the 2016 election will go Republican.

Really!? Which of those running could possibly get elected? Would be a total disaster.

So WHICH Republican is going to be able to do it?
 
I am assuming the not all of the 19 million folks now getting healthcare are Democrats..? What is going to happen when a Republican takes it away from members of their own constituency.....
 
One thing legislation did do was bring the problem to national attention. However it is obvious that no one here is in the healthcare field using or trying to work with it. The package will be redone it fit. Currently the medical community sees it as a big river of money and every one is dipping, with little actual results. This is the "legacy" Oz will get left with.
as far as history goes, with the exponential increase in private education, after wrestling the tax credits away from the left, history courses will no longer be dictated by the Dept. Of Education, at the federal level and Ocare will be a footnote.

I'm just being pessimistic, because aside from a few exceptions the incumbent party usually loses the presidency, especially after having it for two terms. I can't imagine which of the GOP hopefuls would be the most electable at this point; look how John McCain threw away his chances in 2008 by taking on Sarah Palin as VP candidate. Of course, remember what Mitt Romney did last election with his ill-advised characterization of 47% of the electorate as being government-dependent-moochers.

watch the video

Way-to-go Mitt, no wonder he's decided not to run.
 
Folks liked RomneyCare and Obamacare disguised under the name Kynect in Kentucky...so as long as Obama or a Democrat is not credited for it, Republicans will be happier, they'll never be happy, unless they do everything their way. Hopefully they'll never get that much control in government to go crazy. I'm very happy with the ACA and some people I've talked to also have no complaints at all, no pre-existing conditions to worry about, more affordable, etc. Only thing better would be single payer/universal.






 
Romney said state health care was OK but national health care should be avoided. Let it be state choices like most things should be. Current government has no respect for states to run things as they see fit, for anything at all. We are headed down hill with the debt created by this not so smart leader of ours. But by then he will be out of the way and saved from all the problems he caused.

19 million divided by 319 million = .05956 or about 6% of the population. Sounds pretty poor to me. Plus my medical insurance now cost me more to have and it pays less than before. OH lucky me.
