I don't need insurance now, my world is (now) working part time, going to college, going to church (God is always important), and chasing girls. I'm not going to get Obamacare or even pay the fine. Obama can kiss my butt as far as lm concerned.
Good thing you can stay on the parents plan or have coverage through the college you attend. That chasing girls thing could bring on some health issues. (LOL)

The tens of thousands of deaths that will be the result of Obamacare will be the worst failing. The inevitable result of a more expensive and less efficient health care system.

If your income is less than 16,000 you can sign up for Medicaid. If you income is over that you could get a Bronze level plan for about $30-$150. Republicans have a plan which is similar to the ACA for someone like you who refuses to buy insurance there would be no penalty. However if you decided to buy insurance at a later time you could be refused or pay a much higher rate. You could really find yourself on the outside looking in. Republican plan good, Obamacare bad very bad.

2 million people die every year covered by Medicare. We also spend 470 billion on Medicare. From those two pieces of information I can conclude Medicare is also bad.

The one thing I notice is that it is not the obamacare that is causing loss of jobs and ultimately loss of benefits, but the US corporations, who instead of thinking it would be best to stand by the American people, who are their employees - they cut jobs and by this action, cut benefits.

Instead of letting their faithful, loyal employees that they can pull through this together, they screw them because of how obamacare is going to affect their profit margin.

But certain Americans stand behind those who are screwing them, just to oppose the person in the white house, who they don't want there because he's not "right" for the job.

The truth is that Obama was not elected president.

He was placed there by the unseen hand who really controls our country's government. And it sure is not a black hand. Obama is doing the bidding of his masters. Nothing he has done is of his own idea or philosophy.

Politics is a hoax and democrats, republicans, liberals, tea party and conservatives - and any other groupd not mentioned - are all co-conspirators in the destruction of democracy and the US constitution.

You all believe in political parties and they are all laughing at you, watering at the mouth, waiting for your demise.

You all deserve it.

Yup - and hundreds of non-responses by the targetted "pollees".

As expected, huh?

When put on the spot and directly asked "How has Obamacare negatively affected YOU?" the response is crickets chirping.

Personally, it does no good responding to threads on this subject, especially started by certain liberals just to goad people. It's been rehashed many times to no avail. I am sick of the president, his lies and the sheeple who don't have enough brains to think for themselves so their response is everyone is lying. At least I didn't have to read how everyone is on Medicare and Tricare - he's moved on.

The sole goal of a business is profit, if it wasn't then there wouldn't be a business to begin with. Most large businesses did provide insurance for their employees, but due to Obamacare and all the bizarre issues it has, they have lost their insurance plans. It's that bad. It's the system, not so much the companies.

In my case, I work for a restaurant downtown. It's a small business and my employer simply cannot afford Obamacare. Aside from paying us he also has to pay rent for the building, a bunch of fees, licensing, insurance etc.... He was planning on expanding and opening up a second location in the Summer, that doesn't look like it's going to happen now. If he wouldhhave then he would have been able to higher more people, creating new jobs.

A small restaurant that employs over 50 people isn't that small. Your employer also wants to expand? That's an incredibly expensive and risky proposition for him. Business must be booming.

Your story sounds like yet another right-wing lie.
