While I think Obamacare as it is called needs some tuning in general I think it was the right thing at the right time. Speaking only for myself three years ago I I tried to get health insurance my quote was 805/month I just couldn't justify that. One year ago I went to the exact same company and got the exact same policy for 255.00/month

I have no idea if that was a result of Obamacare or not but I do know I have health insurance now that even covers the spinal tumor I had should it ever return, something that would have been exempted in the 805.00 per month quote as a pre existing condition.

While I am a fan of the free market and strongly Libertarian I am also pragmatic. When quality health care and education become the providence of the rich you will have a revolution...ask Castro what he capitalized on.
