Obama's legacy was up for judgement and America decided it was a resounding fail.
I don't agree with that. Obama has pretty high approval ratings right now. I think there were too many other issues in this election. You can't go on and on about the email fiasco and then say that Obama's legacy was up for judgment.
Did Obamacare solve pre-existing conditions like I said the folks I knew who were on it never went to doctors because the yearly deductible was 15k when you make 30k a year how do you come up with 15k?
This is exactly right. The deductibles are so high you still couldn't afford to go to the Dr. Mine were $6500 last year and jumped to $7400 this year with my monthly premium increasing 116%! Anything is better that this tax they imposed on us!
And yes, it did solve the pre-existing condition issue.
They just throw out ridiculous numbers because it sounds dramatic. They cannot even define liberalism. I'm sure million dollar deductibles will be claimed next.

I voted for Sanders. I voted for Stein. Obamacare sucked.
So true. But you know, Pennsylvania? What happened to you guys? Washington state did our part!
White trash senior citizens with nothing better to do than consume Alt Right propaganda. I'm ashamed. Believe me, the same people who voted for Trump are the same people who survey that Philadelphia, the states only economic engine, should be removed from the state every year.
Congrats America! Making sure minimum wage workers will never make a living wage!
I know it wasn't a perfect program and fully acknowledge that it turned out to be unaffordable for many, but my sister has it (and yes, she works). She is bipolar and has fibromyalgia, and was not able to get health insurance before it. She qualifies for some subsidies, which makes it affordable for her. Therefore, I hope that they work on improving it rather than just eliminating it. Without the ACA, she wouldn't be able to see doctors or afford her medication. But they should just get rid of it. Sometimes when I read messages from some of you, I wonder about your lack of compassion for others.

The post you quoted mentioned $15k deductibles. That isn't exactly right.
Regarding the bold: No, it isn't. I have Crohn's Disease, and I've been in the unenviable position of not being able to buy insurance at any price. The medicine is extremely costly, but it's also very effective. Insurance with a high deductible is better than no insurance if you have an actual medical condition.
