Do you support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)?

Yes, but socialized healthcare would be even better.

No, healthcare should be free

There’s good and bad

There needs to be stricter eligibility requirements and have more resources and funds delegated to low income and rural communities first

No. It created expensive mandates for insurance companies that increased healthcare costs rather than creating a public option and deregulating the private market to give people a choice.

Obamacare looks good on paper, but mandating Americans to buy a healthcare that they may or may not want seems wrong and doesn't give Americans a choice on what they want to do with healthcare.

This is one of the only sources for middle class Americans to obtain insurance, and it is so expensive for them that they have to go w/o healthcare and medications.

Yes also not imposed To a single payer state but would like to see a major change in the overall cost of healthcare firs then figure out how to pay for it

It's an overall right-wing bill that subsidizes healthcare but does put millions of Americans on free or cheaper healthcare which is good overall.

i dont really know about it or care much about, but I think that we shouldn't have a pbama care and just have medacaid.

I believe single pair healthcare has been a disaster. It was good on paper, but it’s not good in long run. Instead, it should be state-by-state

Yes, I support aspects of plan but not all aspects. The government should also open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs.

Yes, I support the Affordable Care Act. You should be removed from your parent health insurance once you turn 22.

Choose one way or the other. Completely free and open for insurers to compete like crazy and drive down costs. Or single payer. Anything in between is a disaster, and since there isn't a world in which the free market would actually ensure everyone, just figure out single payer totally free plus private insurance to cover things that the single payer won't.

That is not the care plan that Obama wanted. He wanted much more and this all that congress would allow.

There should be a baseline level of care that is “free” in the United States and if you want better than that you should be able to pay more/shop around for It

Healthcare should be free, insurance companies shouldn't be allowed to capitalize on people's health and lives

I think it is a good thing that the government wants healthcare, but I do not think that they should require it.

should remain should someone choose to go there. This solution in my opinion would improve the overall health of americans while also cutting back on the borderline scammer nature of private healthcare leaving a faster and potentially higher quality healthcare should people choose to pay extra for it.

conceptually its great, however in practice it is a little rough and needs a large amount of tweaking

I support it to a point due to the fact that some may see the government holding people under the poverty line and not open up enough opportunities for those who can work.

It is ok in the sense that it allows access to individuals of varying incomes, should not be a requirement and should exist to LOWER the cost of care, not support the current exploitation of overpayment

I support the idea of everyone having access to healthcare, no pre existing limits or denial. how ever our healthcare choices should be available 12 months per year and not limited to 60 days or less, and we should have a choice of PPO or HMO and not have these forced on us do to address

The current healthcare has its good points about pre existing, But can you imagine what the price of automobiles, houses etc would be if we could only buy them 60 days per year, this should be open all year, and why is my county only selling HMO. What a freaking mess

I agree with parts of the plan but I think it should re-open markets so insurers can compete to reduce costs

I think everyone in the US should receive lower cost or free healthcare. It’s not fair for people to have to put their health on hold because they can not afford it

the government needs to help on health care because its the most expensive in the world and our wealth class are just getting wider and wider of the gaps

No, a single payer system should replace the ACA, which is currently simply funneling taxpayer money to private health insurance companies

no Obama care is genuinely a good concept its main flaw is how expensive it is with the taxes rising because of it

The affordable care act hasn't done much to help for the American people and has left people in deep debt. The millions of dollars of taxpayer money should be used to either make healthcare free, or significantly less expensive.

No, I love the concept but I know from personal experience that it is actually not affordable for most and should probably be edited to fit it's name.

It depends on the person or family that uses it and how it affects them or their family and it benefits them the medical provider a their pharmacy.

I dont really have a say in this, it would be nice if they made sure its going to the right people though

Yes, it has saved many lives. But, there are many more efficient ways at reforming the health care system, like standardizing contracts.

Yes, but a non-mandatory single payer system with allowances for private healthcare options would be even better

I like the idea of Obamacare. However, I have heard of a situation where someone was penalized for accepting the aid. I do not think that is right.

Yes, but ONLY after the entire plan is explained in more detail and not sold to those who need it. Don't gloss over the credit aspects, and detail things about how it will impact potential tax refunds

Can we just help those who need it and make paying for health care cheaper and more widespread? And not turn down those who seriously need help.

No, like stated before, what we need is reform that actually addresses the many factors that go into why healthcare is so expensive.

I don't have an opinion on this one I feel that health care should benefit the people not just about money

It is a horrible plan that should not be mandated unless the government starts to give out free healthcare to all like most of the world besides the 42 others besides us.

I support the fact that Obama tried to help others to get the healthcare they need and I 100% agree that the government should be involved it’s just that Obamacare really was not the best way to go about it and he should’ve come up with some other way

No, the ACA was a gift to the insurance industry. Single payer is the only acceptable healthcare system.

theres still room to grow on the Affordable care act but its a step in the right direction epsecially since we are so far behind Europe

No, the plan focused too much on ensuring individuals were insured, and not enough on reducing pharmaceutical profiteering.

I would require advice from more experienced people, as I know little of this topic but have family who knows more

The one thing I like about Obamacare is that if you have a pre-existing condition, you can still get health insurance.

Yes, and allow consumers to choose providers as well as importing foreign pharmaceuticals, but eventually public organizations to be created by from any individual would serve in lieu as a more flexible insurer of healthcare, as a slow transition would occur where government-sponserd healthcare would be privitized.

I would maybe say yes but also no, due to Obama having suspicious acts I feel sketchy about his care.

Medicare for all... all Federal Employees should only be offered Medicare as their employment benefit same with social security.. no matching 401ks

I feel that if you are the president you should refrain from making a healthcare program because some people might just join because the president created it.

I support the principle and ideology behind it but i think there is still a long way to go to make it what it's supposed to be.

Yes. But need to be improved and need to be a pathway to universal Healthcare

No, it's only a handout to insurance companies.

No, transition to a Singapore style healthcare system

american health care is just bad in general, but i dont have much knowledge in said subject anyways

I do not believe the government should be able to force a product on its citizens

universal care act

No, a single payer system would be more efficient

I am unsure what that Act is.

socialism , My wife broke her leg in Canada , got to see first hand how socialism medical works.This is part of why the national debt in so large. This is a broke system that the very people it was going to help, they can't afford Obamacare.

No, but lowering costs of healthcare and offering access to insurance is highly important, however there should not be a fine for not having insurance.

Due to former experience Obamacare never affected many individuals in a positive manner but not negatively. I believe that something just like it should be implemented but could be much more successful.

Instead of spending exuberant amounts of money on free healthcare we should adress the volatile healthcare market monopoly.

obama care has issues but the government should have a health care system

I belive healthcare should be free.

It should be kept until a better care is given

We need a private insurance and public universal insurance and have them compete in the free market

Yes, but only if the people using Obamacare are people who are working and not getting money form the government.

It should only be given where it is really needed. For example, a single mom with 2 kids working 2 jobs and one of the factories got shut down. She would need it.

I support it because it’s too large/popular to change it
