[QUOTE="Atomic_Smurf, post: 1111473, member: 46684"] Obamacare was sold to the people on the premise that it would solve the nations healthcare problems. Not exacerbate them. yet since it's passage the costs & consequences have continued to compound. You guys can point the finger elsewhere but if this were happening after a republican had forced through healthcare legislation, our union bosses would be loading busses to take to Washington D.C. to march around the capital & yell profanities. Obamacare mandates that kids can stay on their parents plan until they are 26, ends cost containment measures like lifetime caps & removes an important pressure valve by forcing people to purchase insurance. You can argue the merits of these changes but they in no way help to keep costs low. Add that to the increased taxes & the other 2,300+ pages of legislation & we have a real mess to deal with. It only begins to make sense when you understand that there are now more people riding in the wagon than there are pulling the wagon, & they vote. Obamacare wasn't designed to help working class people afford insurance. It penalizes employers that provide it, forces others to buy it & the only people that get it for free are already living off our taxes. You can deny it till we are all on the government plan which according to Obama will take a decade, or 15 or 20 years.
