Healthcare is his signature piece of legislation. He won't budge to the point of repeal. Repair, yes, repeal, no.

We all mandatorily (is that a word?) pay for healthcare now.

Hospitals take a loss because of Reagans stupid law. Then they write off some of the losses on their taxes. Hence, you're paying for illegal aliens, poor, and other peoples free healthcare at the ER.

Its already mandatory.

I'm all for making healthcare unmandatory, but those who choose not to buy healthcare of any kind have to sign a waiver, and send it to the local hospital that says "I refuse service, unless I have cash in hand".

I believe in Darwin, let the stupid die out.

Now we have to pick the lesser plan that we did not want in the first place. But to make matters worse, that plan comes with an almost 40% increase in premiums. That also is not what President Obama guaranteed us would happen.

So as it turns out, we lost our healthcare plan and our premiums skyrocketed. NO we don't want the Obamacare and NO it did not turn out better for us.
Your employer's decision to drop that plan you liked so much, had nothing at all to do with the HC Law. It had everything to do with, they do not have to vie for your services as much. Are you going to quit your job as a result of this? Doubtful. Also, did your Company transfer more of your Ins premium to you?
