Obamacare: Reform, Repeal or "It's Hopeless I Give Up"

[John6185]

My thoughts:
Repeal the monstrosity! We couldn't afford it when it was penned in the locked room and we certainly can't afford it now with the increased national debt. Moreover, taxes are going to be increased as well as insurance rates to pay for this thing and there will be fewer families with money to shop and the economy is going to be in the dump. However, thrift stores will flourish as well as flea markets because people won't buy new-they can't afford certain things and used is a word that will be in vogue. No one was refused medical care if they went to an ER or a government subsidized hospital-it's illegal if they were turned away. People are suffering because of the draconian rules and regulations of Obamacare by losing their health insurance. And people are literally dying because they have a disease that needs immediate treatment and the insurance companies have canceled their policies.
On it's present course, Obamacare cannot fund itself, there are roughly 350million people in the United States and around 2 million have signed up but-most of them haven't paid. Where is the money going to come from if they don't increase taxes-or health insurance rates?

We need to hold our reps feet to the fire, starting off by some letter/e-mail writing:

Dear Oklahoma Senator/Representative: What is your position on Obamacare? Do you insist on total repeal? Answer yes or no.

That sounds very original and totally like holding someone's feet to the fire. An email that draws and automated response.

I think the law should be repealed, but for someone like me that has many pre-exsisting conditions it's good to see a healthcare debate at some point in the future.

It should be repealed, but after it went all the way to the supreme court Mr. Roberts said it was nothing more then a tax. Get ready as it goes up every year. Obama knew who would have to pay for it , still laughing his ass off. In America when we make a tax we don't get rid of that tax.

It's all hopeless. Repealing the ACA just puts us back to the day before it became law, and things weren't all sunshine and roses then. Anything short of a hitting the reset button is whistling while Rome burns.

Our "leaders" are playacting at finding solutions while lining their own pockets and angling to stay "in power".

How then do you propose starting off holding their feet to the fire?
