Most people on Obamacare are subsidised so it won't affect what they pay.
But this is definitely still bad news for a lot of people.

However, it seems like this is the result of a lot of disagreement. For example, the republicans are voting against a proposition in California that would reduce drug prices, because the pharmaceutical companies who are funding the republican party, don't want it to pass and are spending 100 million to fight against it.
Then there are disagreements within the democratic party, etc.

One thing that still astounds me is that USA, the richest nation in the world, still doesn't have universal healthcare when every other first world country does.

I don't know the exact economic reasons for it, but I bet one component is corporate greed, and it's fucking absurd that human lives are the price.

In your post you stated why America does not have a universal Healthcare system.  It's money.  Money has influence with US politics.
