Obamacare is stupid anyway. What about this reimplementation of healthcare has bettered ANYONE at all? Insurance is fucking stupid already but now you want to force others to pay into it? How about if we pay into something, we actually get something in return, like say, actual healthcare? Paying a middle man to profit off of society's medical issues is literally extortion. Fucks sake, it's so damn simple
Here we are though, a generation ridden with debt just to gain a leg up in the economy, taking 20K, 50k, 100k loans to get through practically necessary schooling (excluding trades) just to get an internship at a place that won't even pay you. Wake up, you have a mortgage payment without a house. Why would you force a predisposed poor generation literally known as "The Boomerang Generation" and force them to encumber MORE debts.
Oh you insured a higher percentage of individuals? Whoopie-fucking-Doo, insurance companies are the only ones benefiting from this.
TL;DR - Obamacare is a disaster, insurance is a scam.
