In fact, the deep divide that exists between Obama and the republicans is all based around this healthcare law. The US would be a different and probably better place had the democrats not stuffed this down the republicans throats.

i don't know - i just see that Obama was elected twice with this as his top agenda point and that also enough democrats were elected to pass this law in congress and senate.
in most other countries the opposing party would now either try to offer a better alternative and win the next election to changes things - and if they don't win, they would accept that the voters have spoken.
which makes me question the legitimacy of "wars for freedom and democracy" when certain parts of the right wing politicians so obviously cannot accept democratic processes in their own country
