I won't deny that it is invaluable for people on the lowest income bracket, but for upper-lower class and middle class it's terrible. It has been a curse on my family, my father's premiums have more than doubled since it was implemented, he is now paying like 20% of his paycheck for a plan that is basically worthless due to the high deductible, and it doesn't even cover most of my mom's expensive medications. |
The problem with Obamacare is that it's the insurance companies wet dream. Not only is everyone forced to buy it, even if they don't want it, but it made lower cost plans that many were grandfathered into junk policies, so they had to get a new plan. That means no more low premiums or copays. As for the poorest, we already had programs to cover much of their costs. It's called Medicaid. If we really wanted to cover more people, that could have been altered. This was a power grab by the govenrment, as it always is, done supposedly in the name of the poor.
