Isn't this really a bogus issue? Yes, it is.

The real problem with Obamacare isn't the insurance plans -- which are definitely a problem for many people.
The real problems are the usurpation of individual freedom by requiring people to buy a product they don't want, and perhaps don't need.

The real problem is a 1.5 Trillion dollar Medicaid expansion which no one can afford to pay for and which has resulted in POORER health care for many.

And the god forsaken bureaucracy which was created by it. And massive unfunded mandates on the states. And tax increases. And huge new tax penalties for those who are either unable or unwilling to comply. And a general theft of income from one group to transfer it to another.

Do you know that many people today, who could afford to buy their own insurance before, have seen rates go up to the point they can no longer afford it? Yet, THE SAME PEOPLE are being forced to buy Medicaid for other people who pay not one cent toward their own health care? Can you imagine that in a "free" country? Can you rationalize it in some way? I don't think so.

There are plenty of reasons most people want to do away with this program. If you are a Democrat/socialist then I understand it doesn't bother you. But rational people can see that the program doesn't work and is going to collapse if it isn't fixed.
