The Affordable Care Act is a federal statute signed into law in 2010 that introduces a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s healthcare system. The act grants the federal government significant regulatory powers and price controls over U.S. medical service providers and insurance companies.

No, healthcare is not stated in our Constitution thus should not be a part of the Federal Government's jurisdiction of power.
@9DDZW7HRepublican2yrs2Y
not really. only a few good things came from it.
@9CDQSWX2yrs2Y
Money used for Obamacare should be given to states proportional to their population.
@9BDLZNM2yrs2Y
The only industry that should be government owned and funded and run is the healthcare industry.
@964CSP93yrs3Y
Some of the aspects but open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs
@963KTVQ3yrs3Y
I love free healthcare but only for people who need it should get it.
@954229L3yrs3Y
Amend it so that insurers can compete across state lines.
@94CLDXDIndependent3yrs3Y
yes, but the system needs serious improvement
@93WJPXX3yrs3Y
No, and adopt the senate plan for healthcare
@93QTDM73yrs3Y
Needs to be revamped in order to be viable long term
@92JYKQB3yrs3Y
STOP the invasion of the USA. Use sanctions against the tyrannical governments abusing their citizens until they build a true democracy and people stop fleeing.
No, open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs because Obamacare was not good insurance.
@8ZBP9KH4yrs4Y
Yes, but the issue is not that insurance isn't affordable but that insurance is needed at all; college students should not have to graduate with 10 years of debt in order to perform basic necessary functions of society.
@8Z9CP7T4yrs4Y
I think there should be base healthcare for all US citizens that covers only needed health services. If you want more to be covered you can pay for a private health care company.
@8YYV4VG4yrs4Y
I some what support this but the majority no.
@8YSDH6C4yrs4Y
Free healthcare for all. No matter what. Life is important for all skin colors no matter the person.
@8YC42XW4yrs4Y
There should be both universal and private healthcare and it should be a choice on which one you want.
@8XTCLF64yrs4Y
I think everyone should be in=charge of their own healthcare, I don't fiddle too much with this.
@8XSQYBD4yrs4Y
I think it is cool, but I think people should be abe to afford healthcare them selves
@8XCC4VD4yrs4Y
Not enough knowledge in this area.
@8TZDZWP4yrs4Y
The government should have Medicare available to everyone. But if people have employer-offered or private insurance coverage, they should provide a tax credit to them.
@8ST9K4X4yrs4Y
No, repeal & replace but keep aspects that work (such as covering pre-existing conditions, etc.)
@8SFJ34R4yrs4Y
No, but the government should provide basic coverage (like in the UK and Germany)
@8SF7RSH4yrs4Y
No, I prefer an actual Universal Healthcare System with the ability to opt out and choose a Private Option.
@8RVN9N24yrs4Y
our entire healthcare system needs more transparency and fairer billing practices. pharmaceutical companies and hospitals should not be held to higher accountability.
@8RTRB6Z4yrs4Y
No, generally increasing the power of the govt. to regulate individuals/businesses and control prices does more harm than good.
@8RSG5RF4yrs4Y
yes, i support affordable health care. but I do not agree with spending more tax money so others dont
@8R9ZVLL5yrs5Y
I support some aspects of the plan but believe that government should play less of a role in healthcare
@99TDVSJRepublican3yrs3Y
No, price caps should be used to prevent price gouging in the healthcare industry.
@99HRQHV3yrs3Y
We should have some form of assisted health care but should still allow private companies & allow competition to take place
@996H4DG3yrs3Y
I support what it was trying to do, but it was handled very poorly.
@98FLLVW3yrs3Y
No, and adopt a Personal Option.
@9888FS4Libertarian3yrs3Y
no, there should be stricter laws on individual medicine costs
@986BTV53yrs3Y
No, I support some aspects, but disapprove of a majority, to include the tax fine.
@9822CJ33yrs3Y
no, it should be for the elderly and disabled
@97FGVTVIndependent3yrs3Y
No, it's needs to have a way to be funded without penalties and taxes
@96RPVLT3yrs3Y
American citizens from birth to the age of 22 should be covered and of course our seniors over the age of 65
