Cover kids with pre-existing conditions: Your kids can no longer be denied health coverage just because they have a pre-existing condition like hay fever, asthma, or previous sports injuries. This protection extends to all plans, except "grandfathered" plans in the individual market.
Allow young adults to stay on their parents' plan up to age 26: Even if their first few jobs don't provide health benefits, your kids can still remain covered by your insurance.
Remove lifetime limits: You will no longer need to worry about your health insurer limiting the amount of coverage available through their plan if you face an expensive medical condition. This will help Americans who develop chronic conditions from taking drastic measures to avoid medical bankruptcy.
Phase out annual limits: Many plans include annual dollar limits on how much medical coverage can be obtained per year. On all non-"grandfathered" plans in the individual market, these limits will be phased out over the next three years.
Pay for preventive care like mammograms and immunizations: Addressing problems before they start can help keep you healthier, and new insurance plans will now cover many preventative tests and immunizations without any copayment.
Give you a better appeals process for insurance claims: Now you'll have a guaranteed and fair path to help you receive the benefits you paid for if insurance companies deny your claim.
Let you choose your own doctor: Health reform makes it clear that you can choose any available participating primary care provider as your provider, and any available participating pediatrician to be your child's primary care provider.
Provide easier access to OB-GYN services: Women will no longer be required to have a referral from a primary care provider before seeking coverage for obstetrical or gynecological (OB-GYN) care from a participating OB-GYN specialist.
Allow you to use the nearest emergency room without penalty: If an emergency arises while you're away, you will no longer have to drive home to your in-network provider to receive in-network benefits.
Those provisions are an unwarranted interference between the insurance company and the insured. How dare they make the insurance company live up to its part of the bargain? Obviously only socialists want top interferes with businesses. This will destroy the entire free enterprise system. We are doomed.
While Obamacare (or whatever one wants to call it) is imperfect, I always wonder -- Given that its repeal would undoubtedly mean that millions of Americans would not be able to obtain health insurance, how do Republicans propose to extend insurance to those who are uninsurable in the current system?

It's the dumbest idea in the world: Alienate millions of Americans who now have access to health care where they did not before.
What American would be stupid enough to think this was a great idea? "Hey these guys took away my coverage for my child who has asthma and couldn't previously get covered, this is great!"

I hope you do not think it will be so great in the future when most of us are homeless because of Obamacare. Yeah, it's all good now. But just wait. There's always a consequence.
I suppose it would be asking too much to ask for a explanation as to why you oppose... let's say:
