How Is Obamacare Working Out for You?

I never said that. I specifically said the opposite. I said the system was far from perfect and needed reform. As I said before, I thought it was practically criminal the way Anthem kept raising my premium by around 15-20% a year. I was in favor of reform. But that doesn't mean I have to endorse Obamcare or the way he lied about it to get it passed.

i don't think he lied about it to get it passed...everyone either knew, or should have known, what was in the bill that they voted for.
i figure at some point single payer will be passed-it will have to be.
obamacare is a convoluted mess that the health insurance companies had a huge hand in writing...and i think it's disingenuous of the republicans to still go on and on about it, considering that a lot of what's in there was originally their idea.
the law is pretty much a failure at this point, since half the states voted not to expand medicaid, which means a lot of people aren't benefitting from it at all.
i get why they did what they did-i guess they figured it was better than nothing being done. it's helped a lot of people, but there are still hundreds of thousands of folks no better off than before.
