Re: Question for those who live in the USA
Many of those who oppose the Affordable Care Act know little about it beyond the fact that it is the current President's signature legislation. Others object to the fact that the ACA mandates all Americans to purchase health insurance. Apart from the fact that you will have to pay additional taxes if you don't, why some consider purchasing health insurance a bad thing is not clear as everyone who has employer sponsored health insurance already does so. Moreover, I have yet to hear from anyone who wishes to be "free" not to carry health insurance give an answer to the question...who is supposed to pay for your health care when you become ill ? Lastly are those who claim that they do not wish to have the government "controlling " their health care. Well, none of these folks are ever heard saying that they plan to refuse Medicare (or VA, if they have it) coverage when they become eligible nor do those who already have Medicare or VA coverage plan to give it up. Medicare and the VA health systems taken together, are by far the largest providers of health care in the United States. Both are "government controlled".
Go figure.Comment

Re: Question for those who live in the USA
I really think Obamacare can work but many people (Republicans namely) are against it but what to expect.. They (Repubs) did not have an idea or a plan towards Healthcare reform but President Obama did...
Few months ago this reporter on Fox news gave some good feedback on Obamacare
I've heard folks said what Skelly posted above...Comment

The first sentence speaks volume...
I'd loosely say that the Republicans are against it because it is not their idea.

Re: Question for those who live in the USA
Skelly and RC have summed it up in a nutshell.
By the way... funny that I should use that particular phrase - nutshell, because, as RC points out - it's nutcases who are against something we already partially have. Anybody using medicare, veteran's medical benefits, medicaid, and/or any health benefits as any kind of government employees (from municipal up to federal gov't) - a significant portion of our covered population! - already has 'government-controlled' health coverage.

Re: Question for those who live in the USA
You know, Blakkgiant. The more threads I read from you, the more I am convinced that you are a right-wing troll. Your patois makes no sense, nor does your concern for the multi-ethnicity of this country. Every industrialized country has some form of Universal healthcare but the USA.
We are late entering this forum of public healthcare, but late is not too late. It is a work in progress; just as 45 years ago Medicare was and 70+ years ago social security was. Yes, it is not perfect, like a new-born it must be molded and taught and instructed to fit the purposes to which it was intended.Comment

So because I never write up 10 paragraph mi nuh serious???? I could have easily said that they fear our medical system will become socialized like that of neighboring Canada's...convenient to many but writhe with problems...No. Sorry I did not feel like saying all that.
