The issue is with Obamacare is that it wont work in the long term as it has mostly older and sick people signing up while young people fail to enrol in the plan as they rather pay the penalty and think rather naively they won't get sick.

As a result, insurance companies move out of Obamacare and in the end it will likely require greater government subsidies and cost to keep premiums low.

The real problem is that healthcare is a for profit business. It needs to be wiped out and started out from scratch as a governmental free service for everyone instead of a for profit clusterf*** that leaves people in debt or in the grave.

Problem is they have to take out the existing system and they have lobbyists who will fight tooth and nail to keep the old system.

That's the main issue here. How to make the most profit out of people. They don't care about you, they care about your money. 

I don't know if someone had seen the movie "sicko". That one was made before obamacare came into existence and if that is true what was shown in the movie, then the healthcare system was even worst than anything before. If you got sick and had no insurance, you were fucked. You can try to get cured and pay the debt of the bills for the rest of your live or end it with a bullet to the head if you are poor. 

20 to 30 million people got a heath insurance now and can be taken care of when they are sick. That's something great I think. 

 

I mean, they call themself a christian country, but spit on the sick. Jesus would be sad.
