That's completely nuts. The individual mandate, which is the foundation of the entire monstrosity, is a flagrant overstepping of the government's Constitutional authority. It's the most abusive law passed in decades.
Considering that you can't have the rest of it without the mandate, there's NOTHING to like about this law. It's not what the right wanted. It's not what the left wanted - NOBODY wanted this piece of crap. They had to use every parlor trick and bribe in the book to get it passed, and it passed with votes from only one party!
Anybody who actually thinks that this is a good law is outright insane.
No. I support getting government out of healthcare all together and allowing the market to do its job. If it was all privatized the companies offering cheaper health insurance would run the higher priced ones out of business with the competition government only helps the big companies stay in business by sticking its nose in this.

Is it? Or, the utopian model y'all believe in, also magically creates $1 trillion/year that the government spends on health care.
But, you hit the one problem I have with Obama Care. I propose replacing it with a tax, like Medicare.
What is insanity? Sticking the collective head in the sand and instead of noticing doubling of insurance costs in 8-9 years (much less doing something about it), many here are willing to go back to the mode, exposing the rear end and demanding from the insurance companies... keep it going, I was liking it before, and we apologize for the interruption and inconvenience Obamacare brought to you nice people.

Who said we believe in the current model in its entirety?

Do you realize how much Medicare taxes would have to go up to cover everyone?

I support healthcare reform. I do not support Obamacare.
This.
Though I would add that my support for healthcare reform is mainly on the state level.
Utah did healthcare reform a few years ago.
Massachusetts did as well. Even though it included an individual mandate, if that's what the people of MA want (and polls show that most MA residents support the MA healthcare reform), that's fine with me. Since I don't live in MA, I don't see it as any of my business.
The California Legislature passed a single payer system in 2006 and 2008, though it was struck down by then Governor Schwarzenegger both times. If that's what California wants, that's fine with me, though I certainly don't want that in my state.
