Whining. By many of the replies. When Obama was elected, my health insurance cost was basically infinite, due to my high blood pressure.

Got an answer for that?

Positives. Let's list them.

Yeah, your problem, not everyone else's.

But at least I am not subsidizing your health cars.

Yet, they did give you that positive you asked for. And it is a positive for many, many people.

And you are subsidizing their health care, unless you pay no federal tax, then it is likely someone is subsidizing you!

Hadoken's problem was also a problem for a lot of people.

The Republicans love to bash Obamacare, but they sure aren't in any hurry to come forward with an alternative. You'd think in the six years since the healthcare debate started they could come up with something. And no, "go back to what we had before" is not a solution.

Get back to us when the Republicans agree on a viable health care bill that doesn't throw self-employed people with chronic or preexisting health conditions under the bus.

Way to kick their arse, Mr President!
Did obama ever find that aeze he wabnted to kick after the gulf oil spill...or is he still looking, as he did when he lost track of his red line?

Who would have believed obama when he forecast thousands of green energy jobs....oops! maybe because of the subsidized green businesses going out of business and left just being green as in green with taxpayer money in their pockets which in turn gets donated to dem coffers.

The pre-existing conditions part is really the only popular part of ACA. It seems that there could have been a better way to accomplish that than what we got. I worry that in spite of having insurance (albiet with higher premiums and deductibles), I will have trouble finding doctors since so many are leaving the profession now because of regulations, including electronic record keeping mandates, lower reimbursement rates, growing population, and requirements of the ACA.

In the next ten to twenty years, a large percentage of our population will be 55 or older, with less doctors to care for them, and many not even pursuing an education in medicine due to lower reimbursement rates and high costs of getting that education. So what good is being insured if you can't find doctors?

Not in disagreement with what you're saying but millions??? Well technically yes, about 3.5 million millions or 3.5 trillion dollars have been pumped into the stock market by the Fed since 2008. And that's actually freshly printed money, not reserves.

That's what it took to make it look good for Obama (and to be honest, it doesn't look good at all).

'5 out of 3 people are bad at math'. Just want to make sure your point isn't dismissed due to a misinterpretation of the numbers.
