Every US citizen should be bitching. Not just the 70% that don't want obamacare.

Well a large part of people with increases have happened due to Republican run states that didn't accept the Medicare expansion, there is an estimated 5 million people that won't get affordable insurance due to that. What happened, was many people don't have a low enough income to get subsidized by Obamacare it's self, but in that case the Medicaid expansion would kick in to help bring the price down for people not over a higher income bracket.
Obviously the Right decided to not accept the expansion in order to try and make Obamacare fail. In the process they have cost tax payers in their states more money and even cost many the chance to get insurance.
People can bitch and moan all they want about Obamacare, but at least the left is trying to come up with a solution to bring insurance to everyone. Meanwhile the right just plays party politics and has attempted to do nothing to help sort out the problems. The right is only interested in making things more difficult and their idea of insurance is "don't get sick if you aren't rich".
