Cannot understand what's so bad about an insurence as an European. Many people will be helped!!

Unspoken rule of american politics, "The title of the bill states the opposite", aka the bait and switch. It's called the "Affordable Care Act", if it's such a great thing why are unions, congressman, senators and POTUS exempt. If it's so affordable why are congressional staffers getting special subsidies. People are also displeased because we do not like being forced to buy things. This you must buy unless you renounce citizenship or die.

Except insurance premiums are going down. 

Mine sure as hell aren't. Gone over 20% year over year.

Yeah, and that must be because of Obamacare!  Perhaps we should wait until it's implemented before blaming it for increases in insurance premiums (which have been happening for decades).

When Obamacare was signed into law several years ago, insurance rates have gone up dramatically faster. Governement has never increased regulations and successfully driven prices down on anything. Take the ethanol mandate for example. It drove gas and prices higher, the exact opposite of what was promised.
