Also I dont really understand why we call it ObamaCare. I dont think Obama had any real input. Neither did the Senate since they just slipped it through in a shady way. It's really PelosiCare... which is much worse.

"Shady way"?- no. Sorry, that's completely false. I know someone mentioned "reconciliation" to you, and that's what you are referring to, but that was only done for some small portions of the bill afterwards that needed technical corrections.

The entire final bill was clearly posted in public in full for days prior to the vote, it was debated, and voted upon. There was nothing remotely shady about it.

It's really also RomneyCare, and Republicare - it has multiple provisions within it that the GOP have asked for and pushed for, past and present, and have historically strongly supported.

The GOP would be lauding themselves for their great historical achievement with this bill, if it wasn't completed during a democratically-controlled Congress under a Dem president.

Don't forget this bill has plenty of perks for private insurance companies. It's more "Republican" in provinance than "Democratic", when looking at what the parties have supported historically in the past.
