There are two main issues with Obamacare. One was the mandate. The second is that it did absolutely nothing to curtail rising healthcare costs.


Obamacare isn't the reason insurance rates are rising. In fact, if you look at premiums, the rates were rising a lot faster (as a percentage) prior to Obamacare. So if anything, Obamacare slowed that down a bit. The only solution to healthcare costs is having a universal healthcare system. Every other civilized country has one. The problem is we have a bunch of greedy assholes that continue to convince their ignorant base that socialized medicine is a bad thing.

I do not disagree with you on any of this.
