Obamacare helped my family out.

I think (or at least hope to think) that we can all agree that the cost of healthcare was unreasonably high and unattainable for a specific segment of people - people who make more than the poverty line (i think approx 16k per person) but dont make enough to afford healthcare.

a lot of people seem to forget that people who are unemployed or on welfare already qualified for medicaid and got health coverage for free before obamacare.

obamacare helps make healthcare affordable for people who work.

the problem with obamacare was that 1 -certain red states intentionally did a poor job of promoting obamacare and providing info (were ind states responsible for launching their own "marketplace" website) and 2 - young 20 somethings who they thought would be heavy enrolles are actually also lazy and lais sez faire when it comes to getting up off their collective asses to actually do something responsible and forward thinking.


fact is politicians on both sides sat on their hands for decades and never wanted to poke the lobbying bear that is the trillion dollar healthcare industry to get their act together and stop bilking regular americans for runaway charges and expenses.
