b. While it helps a lot of people who need it, At the same time it is putting many people out of work. "Huge cuts in the medical industry"
c. It gives to much power to insurance companies, Your insurance company can now tell you what doctor you are allowed to see, and what exact store location you have to fill your prescriptions at.
d. There are not enough doctors in the USA to cover seeing the amount of people that will now be running for check-ups (lower quality care) especially since you will probably be pushed in the front and out the back so they can try and attempt to make up for the money that has been cut.
e. People making $250K or more per year will be charged an extra tax for obama care, while those of us making less will not have to pay this tax. Not to mention the huge amount that will be taken from Medicare.
If you ask me, Obama care, Is a wolf in sheep's clothing, Something most people have know idea about what it really is. Another thing aimed to get the low income votes!

We need a single-payer system. Obamacare is a step in the right direction. Nobody liked the system we had/have. Sucks in so many ways. Medical expenses #1 cause of bankruptcy in America - and most of those people HAD insurance. That is FUCKED UP. Sick people without insurance would get emergency care, not have enough money to pay, and go bankrupt, and everyone else absorbed the cost. It was a fucking nightmare, and only the HMOs were happy with it all.
Obama had the grapes to take it on. I'm not 100% happy with the end product, either, but it IS an improvement.
"pre-existing conditions" gone
"lifetime caps" gone
Kids can stay on their parent's plan til they're 26
Women can't be charged more than men
Insurance companies must spend 80% of YOUR premium payment on YOUR healthcare
Free routine checkups - makes good fiscal sense to catch problems early - not to mention quality of life.
A buddy of mine went to get a checkup recently. When he was done he went to the window to pay his $50 co-pay. He was told there no longer WAS a co-pay. He was amazed. He happily put that cash back in his pocket. That's money that he then spent in the local community on a nice dinner. Thanks Obama!
I think you have some erroneous facts up there.
