Well I have my ideas on how things are and should be, what I think works, what I think doesn't, what I think is easy and what I think is hard, so I think he should have done things more the way I would have liked them, and less the way he wanted to do things.

 

Then I'd be happier because things would be better, more like the way I want them to be, and he'd have validated my views.

 

 

It's disappointing, because he really squandered an opportunity there.

what i'm afraid of is that Obamacare is going to become like the law about car insurance.

that it will be a law where those without health insurance are fined rather than helped

Obamacare is just a typical solution that reinforces the core of the problem, which is that health care costs are kept high by an excess of available funds, which in turn stimulates providers to take advantage of the available funding by creating as many health care goods and services as possible and charging the highest price possible for them. This is great for stimulating people to go into health care professions but it's terrible for expanding health-care accessibility to a level of universal global accessibility. If you want to create affordable health care for anyone, no matter how poor, you have to have extremely affordable goods and educational materials. That way anyone could gain access to medical information and goods regardless of their ability to pay for it.
